"The Tyler Catholic School System is a welcoming community of faithful learners dedicated to the continued formation of the total person according to the gospel. Through this Catholic tradition, supported by parental involvement, the schools promote values, character, and self-discipline. A challenging academic environment with a college preparatory curriculum enables each student to become a contributing member of society."

Building foundations usually evokes images of bricks and mortar. As important as concrete structures are, the education of the heart and mind are the most critical foundation blocks upon which the Tyler Catholic School System operates. For near 60 years that mission has sustained and invigorated the education of thousands of students.

At the core of the Tyler Catholic School System is the belief in strong faith, academic excellence and responsible maturity. These principals constitute the distinct foundation of the Tyler Catholic Schools. The School System is also engaged in the exciting challenge of setting the schools' future. Planning for the future continues to focus not only on improving the nationally recognized educational excellence already in the schools but also strategies that will bring to fruition the vision of preparing all students for lives as responsible, spiritual leaders in a highly technological world.

The schools must continue to maintain attention to providing increased revenues for facility support and strong academic programming. In partnership with parents, the schools prepare children for this life and the life to come. Children are not only the present -they are the future.
