Governance

Resurrection Catholic School is owned by Resurrection Catholic Missions of the South, Inc., which is sponsored by the Congregation of the Resurrection, United States Province headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

The school freely chooses to affiliate with the Archdiocese of Mobile and its Office of Catholic Schools. Like all Catholic institutions in the Archdiocese, we respect and conform to the authority of the Archbishop of Mobile. The school is directly governed by the Pastor/Director, his associate director, the local Advisory Board of Directors and the provincial Superior and Council of the United States Province of the Congregation of the Resurrection. In both civil and canon (church) law Resurrection Catholic Missions of the South and the school are distinct legal entities.

 

Curriculum

Placeholder Image

Resurrection strives to provide educational opportunities that will enhance the growth and development of all students. Courses of Studies prescribed by the Alabama State Department of Education and the Archdiocese of Mobile provide the basic framework for the curriculum; however we exceed their minimum requirements and goals. All students receive instruction in Religion, English (Literature/Reading and Grammar), Spelling, Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, Spanish, Music, Vocabulary Enrichment, Physical Education, and Computer Technology. Class schedules are adjusted appropriately to the age level of the students and approved by the SACS accreditation standards. Our textbooks are in accordance with the diocesan approved textbook lists. Primary and Intermediate grades are generally taught in self-contained classrooms. The middle high school grades (6, 7, and 8) are departmentalized.

All students and teachers must attend and participate in all religious activities planned by various classes of the school. The religion program includes instruction in Catholicism, classroom prayer, and church liturgical celebrations. The emphasis of the religious education program is placed on the living out and practicing of Christian principles.
