Mission Statement:
Christopher Columbus High School is a private, Roman Catholic, college-preparatory high school, conducted by the Marist Brothers of the Schools. We aim to make Jesus Christ known and loved, as we prepare young men for higher education and for their continuous challenge of harmonizing faith, culture and life. We foster a family spirit among all who are committed to the success of the school and promote opportunities to work together as a community of learners.

Vision:
Christopher Columbus High School is committed to a comprehensive educational program in academics, spirituality, and physical development which will lead our students to the experience of personal faith and of their vocation as good Christians and virtuous citizens.

Beliefs:

• The cornerstone of our education is presenting Jesus as a real person whom students come to know and love.
  
  
• All students, regardless of their ability and achievements, need to have an equal opportunity to learn.
  
  
• Cognizant of differences in student learning, our curriculum incorporates a variety of learning activities and optimizes technology and multimedia as learning tools.
  
  
• The students’ performance is enhanced by maintaining high expectations for learning, keeping them engaged in the learning process, and fostering mutual respect among students and staff.
  
  
• A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning.
