High School Guidance Counselors

Community

• We are a community of learning. In the Franciscan tradition the love of learning stems from a desire to grow in our understanding of God, of creation, and of each other. The quest for truth, understanding, and excellence in academic disciplines allows for growth and transformation to take place both in ourselves and in the world around us.
• We are a community of reverence. Reverence recognizes and respects the dignity and worth of each human person and all creation. Reverence takes us beyond tolerance and calls us to treasure the diversity of the human family with its various races, cultures and traditions.
• We are a community of service. The Franciscan tradition is intimately tied to service. The members of the Lourdes community challenge one another to cultivate a spirit of gratitude, to be mindful of those who feel unconnected and who are in need, and to develop and share our gifts with the broader community.

Personal

• Lourdes offers a quality, affordable and personalized education where there are no large lecture halls and courses are taught by faculty who know you by name.

Practical

Princeton Review

Lourdes was named one of the Best Colleges in the United States for the fifth consecutive year by The Princeton Review.

Nationally known for its test preparation and admissions services, The Princeton Review evaluates over 2,000 colleges and universities each year, making selections for its list based on criteria of academic excellence and feedback from current students, parents and guardians, staff members and educators.

In excerpts from surveys published at Princetonreview.com, Lourdes students cited  Lourdes' focus on academics, flexibility of course schedules and the beauty of the campus itself, among the reasons they made it one of the best colleges.
