Welcome from Mrs. Virginia Colwell
St. Francis de Sales, the patron
saint of Paul VI Catholic High School, was an educator who used simple instruction
to reach all students. He had a special affinity for children. St. Francis’ motto at La Florimontane Academy
was “All things will come to the one who does his best.” This is the legacy bestowed on us by St.
Francis de Sales, and we follow this legacy with pride, values, and integrity.
Along with their parents, PVI provides
students a solid faith, based on the life of Jesus Christ and his Gospel
values. Our students are prepared; their
faith is strong. At PVI
we instill the idea of lifelong learners.
To that end, we offer the Parents as Partners program to help our
parents in raising 21st century teenagers.
We
continue a conscious effort to promote, invite and inspire each individual to
the faithful practice of Catholicism in every facet of the school be it
curriculum, administration, guidance, assemblies, retreats, extracurricular
activities, in the hallways and parking lots, the cafeteria, and sporting
events by modeling of Christian virtues into each and every class and activity.
While each school year is ever changing,
what always remains is the bond we share as a community based on the teachings
of the Gospel values and the quiet guidance of St. Francis de Sales. Always
striving for excellence, our students are prepared to face the future. Academically, they dissect, research,
calculate, formulate and recite.
Socially, they dance, bond, and share with those around them. Physically, they kick, bat, block, tackle,
and throw. They laugh together, cry
together, weather all sorts of drama together, and hope together. And through it all, they worship, pray, inspire
and serve others. We pray in the words of
the gentleman and gentle man, St. Francis de Sales, that they “Live Jesus” and
be shining examples of grace and wisdom.
