Teacher's Mission:
My mission is to encourage curiosity and discovery in my students' learning
and to empower them to become reflective creative lifelong learners within
our global society. I will teach students to seek wisdom in their actions
and to know they have the power to make choices that can change their
future. I will establish high expectations for my students in areas of
academics, behavior, physical and spiritual growth. I will hold them
accountable for meeting these expectations. I want them to leave my
classroom believing that they “can” achieve success in future goals and to
stay active in their faith.
The mission for the technology classes is to integrate technology with the
grade level curriculum state standards and the national technology
standards. Students will continue to grow in their
technical knowledge, visual literacy, and Web literacy as well as usage of
the computers. We must also build a
Catholic technological community within the Lab classes and school
classrooms, emphasizing the moral responsibilities and Digital Citizenship
with the use of technology.
