An education does not necessarily make students good. It can, in fact, make them puffed up and vain. Knowledge is power. The goal of a classical education is to form the mind and character of the student so that he will use the power of knowledge for good ends. Every school has a culture which is a reflection of its leadership. We strive to form the mind and character of the student to follow the example of Jesus Christ, the hero and savior of mankind, to practice the seven cardinal virtues, and to avoid the seven deadly sins.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-13896 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/hls.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC02684_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"511\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hls.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC02684_web.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hls.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC02684_web-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hls.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DSC02684_web-768x503.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/> At Highlands Latin, students start their day with this prayer:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"><strong>Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous;<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> teach me to serve You as You deserve;<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> to give and not to count the cost,<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> to fight and not to heed the wounds,<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> to toil and not to seek for rest,<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> to labor and not to ask for reward<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> save that of knowing I am doing Your Will.<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> Through Christ Our Lord,<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> Amen.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>And end their day with this prayer:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"><strong>We give You thanks, merciful God, for the<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> instruction and direction which we have<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color: #0d2241;\"> <strong> received.
