Bethlehem High School is a Christ-centered college preparatory school built upon Catholic teachings that empowers students' spiritual, academic, social and moral development.

Our Vision: 
Bethlehem High School will thrive as a Catholic college preparatory school for students by providing educational and extracurricular programs that are challenging and competitive. Our commitment to our students ensures that Bethlehem graduates are prepared to excel in higher education and become lifelong learners and contributing citizens. Our young men and women, living faith-filled, healthy lifestyles, will serve the community in volunteer and leadership roles. By embracing social responsibility, Bethlehem graduates will demonstrate tolerance, respect and compassion for others and as members of the Bethlehem family, they will enable the legacy of our commitment to Catholic education into our third century.
 
Our Core Values:
Faith Formation and Community Service - God is the source of life.  All that we have is the direct result of God’s love for us. The greatest sign of God’s love is that He sent his Son, Jesus, to save and redeem us.  Our response to this great love is hearts full of gratitude and praise.
Academic Excellence -  Bethlehem High School provides educational programs that are challenging and competitive. Bethlehem graduates are prepared to excel in higher education and become lifelong learners and contributing citizens.
Integrity, Leadership and Social Responsibility - One mark of adulthood is the ability to take responsibility for one’s own attitudes, actions and achievements.  Self-discipline requires that the person know what is expected of them and learns to do the right thing for the right reason. Honesty with oneself and others is necessary if we as individuals are to grow in self- knowledge and develop emotionally, physically, spiritually and socially.
Tolerance, Respect, and Compassion - Each person is a unique, special creation of God, made in God’s very image and likeness.  As a result, every person, regardless of their actions, is entitled to respect.
Healthy Lifestyles and Strong Student Organizations - In order to build up the Bethlehem community, cooperation and care among all its members are fundamental.
