Extraordinary Faculty
At Holy Spirit Preparatory School, we have a faithful and dedicated faculty who, seeking to live out our school motto, Ministrare non Ministrari, serve our students as formators and mentors, guiding them to intellectual excellence and personal holiness, and leading them by example. Our faculty take seriously the observation of Pope Pius XI that, “Perfect schools are the result not so much of good methods as of good teachers, teachers who are thoroughly prepared and well-grounded in the matter they have to teach; who possess the intellectual and moral qualifications required by their important office; who cherish a pure and holy love for the youths confided to them, because they love Jesus Christ and His Church, of which these are the children of predilection; and who have therefore sincerely at heart the true good of family and country.” – Divini Illius Magistri, 88.
The “Portrait of a Teacher” expresses our expectation for every educator at Holy Spirit Prep.
