Our Mission

Picture
St. Peter Chanel is a Catholic diocesan, college preparatory high school  for young men and women of different cultural backgrounds.  By serving others and living the Gospel messages of respect for life, peace, and social justice, we prepare students to excel in life.  We accomplish our mission by encouraging depth of spirituality, excellence in academics, expression of creativity, expertise in interpersonal communications, and overall physical and emotional well being.
Our Identity
St. Peter Chanel High School — Catholic, Marist, diverse, and transformative — is a leader in secondary education in the Diocese of Cleveland.  As a Catholic school our commitment is to empower young men and women of diverse backgrounds to become Christian leaders.  The Marist tradition of education includes the whole person — spirit, mind, and body — teaching the St. Peter Chanel student the Christian values and ethics essential to their everyday encounters.  This tradition forms distinctive graduates who grow in their faith, pursue lifelong learning, and achieve professional success.  Educated for adaptation and change, our graduates are particularly well prepared for leadership and service in the communities in which they live and work.
