Growth Plan for Students (GPS)

The Growth Plan for Students (GPS) is Catholic Memorial’s intentional
means for fostering community and nurturing the development of the
whole person. GPS serves as a mechanism to guide students toward
becoming young adults who excel and find balance in the four domains
of Service, Academics, Leadership and Community. At its center, Faith
is integrated in all aspects of growth and development.

Key components of the GPS include:

• P articipation in a small group of 10-14 students with one faculty
or staff advisor, meeting approximately twice a month.

• G roups organized by grade level that meet together all four years
of high school.

• A n individual portfolio of activities in the four domains of student life.
• R egular reflection - a critical element for nurturing growth.
