All Catholic schools are called to be a special place in the work of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and each school is called upon to incorporate this work through the unique charism, or spirit, of its founders. 

Saint Elizabeth High School was founded in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Dominic de Guzman.  The school witnesses the Gospel values and message in the ways that were special to Dominic and Francis:  St. Dominic, a passionate pursuit of truth; St. Francis, an impassioned concern for all creation.
