Mission Statement
St. Elizabeth is a co-educational Catholic diocesan high school
founded in the spirit of St. Francis and St. Dominic serving a
diverse student population from Oakland and the surrounding
communities. We are committed to fostering self-esteem a
preparing students for college, challenging them to live and
proclaim the Gospel message, achieve academic success and
secure the skills necessary for life lived according to God’s plan.
The community of Saint Elizabeth High School believes:
• that education has the power to liberate
• that parents are the primary educators of their children
• that teachers are the facilitators of learning
• that students recognize and act upon the conviction that each person, gifted by God, is ultimately responsible for his or her own growth
• that students with limited economic means, differing religious beliefs, or varying academic ability should have access to a Catholic education
• that students are vested with dignity, worth, and value; are empowered by God to attain their potential and to contribute in a positive way to church and society
• that we are interdependent with local, national and global communities.
