Our Mission

Mind. Body. Spirit.
At Father McGivney Catholic High School, we believe in developing the whole student -mind, body, and spirit. We believe our students should model the teachings of Jesus Christ through prayer, service, and evangelization and should be educated based upon the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  Central to everything we do, we have a mission to promote the culture of life modeled after the four pillars of the Knights of Columbus, founded by our namesake, Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney - Unity, Charity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.
