Founded with zeal. Driven to excel.

Our school balances two truths: 1. 2.

Success is possible for every student. Every student should feel welcome and happy here.

Welcome to Our Lady of Good Counsel High School.

Above the entrance to our state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center are the words, “In harmony, small things grow.” This statement is the motto of our founders, the Xaverian Brothers. It also distills what happens in the life of a Good Counsel Falcon over the course of their four-year journey to graduation.

Our school balances two truths: 1) success is possible for every student; and 2) every student should feel welcome and happy here. We believe that with support and encouragement, each student can respond positively to the challenges and opportunities that our highperforming school presents each day.

Beyond providing an exceptional academic preparation that leads to the nation’s top-ranked colleges and universities, GC nurtures a deep appreciation of the power of community. As a Catholic school, we believe each of us is made in the image and likeness of God. That belief places the formation of enduring personal relationships — with classmates, teachers, coaches, advisors — at the center of the GC experience.

Imagine a school where your unique talents are recognized, valued, and developed. The GC mission statement sums up what we strive to do for you: “We inspire our students to excel, serve and love.”

In harmony,

Dr. Paul Barker President
