Salpointe Mission

Salpointe Catholic is a college-preparatory high school in the Carmelite tradition of prayer, community and service. We offer our diverse student population a holistic education which fosters faith, encourages the pursuit of excellence, develops servant leaders, affirms the dignity of individuals, and promotes global social justice.

Salpointe Philosophy

Salpointe Catholic High School is Christ-centered and guided by the Carmelite tradition of education in the context of prayer, community and service.  The learning environment is shaped by faculty and staff dedicated to exemplifying and teaching a life-long commitment to intellectual, spiritual, moral, physical, social, artistic, environmental and emotional growth.  Salpointe explicitly calls on one another, students and educators alike, to demonstrate conscious awareness of God’s loving omnipresence; to appreciate the inherent dignity of each person; and to seek to live our shared vocation to act justly and compassionately as servant-leaders in an ever-changing world.

Salpointe Values

Carmelite Human Rights and Social Justice Statement

We live in allegiance to and walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ as we commit ourselves to the dignity of the human person by respecting people of every gender, race, ethnic heritage, creed, sexual orientation and financial resources. The principles of family, community, participation, dignity of work, option for the poor, and care for God’s creation inspire our communities and ministries to always teach the truth of our history and work for justice and peace.

As a result, we do not support unjust systems of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, human trafficking and slavery of any kind, and any unjust system that does not promote the dignity of the human person that is a true gift from God.

Carmelite Charism

Prayer, Community and Service

The Carmelites of the Province of the Most Pure Heart of Mary, in allegiance to Jesus Christ, live in a prophetic and contemplative stance of prayer, common life, and service. Inspired by Elijah and Mary and informed by the Carmelite Rule, we give witness to an eight-hundred-year-old tradition of spiritual transformation in the United States, Canada, Peru, Mexico, El Salvador, and Honduras.
