We can tell the teachers care about more than just grades. They’re helping shape the men our sons are becoming. The start of high school was tough for my son, but you helped him through. That meant a lot to me.

School Mission
St. John Vianney High School is dedicated to forming young men for spiritual, academic and personal excellence in the Catholic, Marianist tradition.
St. John Vianney High School receives its identity and mission by participating in the contemporary educational mission of the Catholic Church and that of its Marianist sponsor, the Society of Mary-Province of the United States. Canonically and legally, Vianney is associated with the Society of Mary-Province of the United States through the “Members of the St. John Vianney High School Corporation,” and “the St. John Vianney High School Board of Directors.”
Accordingly, Vianney emphasizes the Marianist expression of the teaching ministry of Jesus Christ, as He is “Son of the Father becomes Son of Mary for the salvation of all,” while seeking to cooperate with Mary in her mission of bringing the fullness of Christ to all within a caring, family-like community.

Our son has risen to meet the increased academic lift that Vianney is well known for. He is ready for college and beyond because of the teachers at Vianney. They’re amazing.- Parent
I am so proud of the young man my son is becoming and much of that is because of everything he’s learned during his time at Vianney. Thank you to the teachers. We will really miss this wonderful community which we’ve become a part of over the past four years.- Parent
The impact the teachers have had on our son has completely changed him. We couldn’t be happier with the decision to send him to Vianney. Thank you to each and every one of you for being a part of his high school experience.- Parent
Our son had zero interest in going anywhere but the public high school with his friends. We highly encouraged him to consider Vianney after we attended an event the previous year. He was so impressed by teachers he met on his Shadow Visit, that he knew this was the place for him.- Parent
My son chose Vianney. It was his decision. It was a great decision. Vianney has kept his flame alive for his faith, in his understated way. And, certain teachers have led my son to accomplish things maybe he couldn’t see the point behind, but will, and indeed, does, even if he doesn’t admit it!- Parent
You have helped kindle a fire that will take time and patience and self-direction to come to good results. You have made a future man of character and accomplishment.
- Parent
My son’s confidence grew and this was a direct development from his time at Vianney. Other friends and family noticed as well and commented that they didn’t see that in their sons who attended other schools. This will forever be a part of my son and we thank the faculty at Vianney for helping instill that in him.
- Parent
The phrase “Men of Character and Accomplishment” is a great motto for the school, but I didn’t give it much thought when my son first started at Vianney. It hit me around Christmas Break his first year when we were out shopping and I noticed the way he engaged with strangers and workers at the stores… “no, sir,” “thank you, ma’am” was a constant from him.
- Parent
The impact the educators have had on our son is truly immeasurable, but not just from reading, writing, math, etc. The lasting impact they will have on him is instilling the confidence and humility in him to lead by example in a manner accepting of all those around him.

Marianist Education
As a Marianist-sponsored school, we are guided by the Marianist Charism.
A charism is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit, working in and through us for the benefit of others.The Five Pillars of the Marianist Charism are:
- People of Faith
- Leaders in Mission
- Mary as our Model
- People of Inclusivity
- People of Community
To this end, Vianney affirms the characteristics of Marianist education, specifically to:
• Educate for formation in faith,
• Provide an integral, quality education,
• Educate in the family spirit,
• Educate for service, justice and peace and
• Educate for adaptation and change.
This approach is summarized in the thought of the Marianists’ founder Blessed William Joseph Chaminade: “Through the Mother to the Son,” and “we teach only in order to educate, and we educate in order to Christianize.”
Marianist Witness Statement
All employees agree to hold in trust the Catholic and Marianist Mission of the School. Our Catholic, Marianist education includes formation and transformation of our students. Therefore, it is essential that the Employee who serves in Catholic education proclaims Jesus Christ and is a witness to the Gospel Values. The Employee must at all times, witness by their public behaviors, actions and words a life consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Any action by the Employee that brings disgrace or harm to the reputation of the School or is contradictory to the Mission is cause for disciplinary action up to and including suspension, termination or non-renewal.
Teaching Philosophy
The teacher is a model for student behavior.
St. John Vianney High School is a college preparatory school founded on the spirit of Blessed William Joseph Chaminade (1761-1850), a priest of the diocese of Bordeaux, France. Its sponsor, the Society of Mary–Province of the United States, is dedicated to the development of mature Christians who are able to take responsibility for the future of the Church and the world. The school is a community, a family, dedicated to mutual support and the transformation of the world.
The spirit of the Church, the gospel, should permeate all aspects of the school. Teaching is a ministry, a work commissioned by Jesus. At Vianney, spiritual programs such as retreats, Marianist Life Community and liturgies complement academics and co-curricular activities. Each, in its own way, helps the adolescent student mature into a responsible Christian adult.
Every action of the teacher enhances or detracts from the educational experience. The gospel demands justice tempered by mercy, and so discipline is a process of challenging inappropriate behavior and modeling correct behavior.
At a Catholic, Marianist school education extends beyond the simple acquisition of skills and knowledge to the complex behaviors necessary to help an adult make sense of his experience.
