~ACADEMICS~
Tackling Life's Most Profound Questions in Theology
As our four pillars here at St Louis Catholic High School suggest, we as humans are complex beings who constantly seek truth, beauty, and goodness. Our Junior Theology students have been tackling life’s most profound questions and seeing the truth, beauty and goodness in ourselves and others through the topics of morality and the sacraments. Junior Allie McCall says, “We are currently examining the sixth commandment, and how we should keep ourselves accountable to have a fruitful and happy marriage in the future, if that is the vocation to which we are being called.” Click here to read more.
