John Bapst Memorial High School also believes that the success of its Mission depends upon everyone’s understanding and acceptance of the ethic of respect. Music

People make up John Bapst Memorial High School – people as students, people as teachers, people as support staff and administrators, and people as parents and visitors. We believe that all of us are privileged to be here, and we believe that respect brings about the cooperative spirit necessary for successful education. We expect that every individual who comes to John Bapst Memorial High School will study, work, and participate with consideration for every other individual. We expect that common courtesy, kindness, fairness, tolerance, acceptance, helpfulness, and honesty will be the principles that govern everyone’s personal conduct.

The mission of John Bapst has led the school to embrace the concept of ethical literacy as the cornerstone of its approach to good decision making and good conduct in school life. John Bapst teaches its students to become fluent in the language of ethical literacy as a means of building character and building community.
