ST. MARK’S AIMS TO PREPARE young men to assume leadership and responsibility in a competitive and changing world. To this end, the School professes and upholds certain values. These values include the discipline of postponing immediate gratification in the interest of earning eventual, hard-won satisfaction; the responsibility of defending one’s own ideas, of respecting the views of others, and of accepting the consequences for one’s own actions; and an appreciation for the lively connection between knowledge and responsibility and the obligation to serve.

ST. MARK’S SCHOOL OF TEXAS 10600 Preston Road • Dallas, Texas 75230-4047 214-346-8000 • www.smtexas.org
