At St. Teresa High School, faith is woven into every part of the student experience. Students are encouraged to grow in their relationship with Christ through prayer, worship, service, and daily opportunities to live the Gospel. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, we strive to form young men and women of faith, character, and compassion who are prepared to make a positive difference in their communities.
Whether attending Mass, participating in retreats, serving others, or praying together in the classroom, students discover that faith is something to be lived every day.

Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry helps students deepen their faith through prayer, worship, retreats, and service. Students are invited to take an active role in planning liturgies, leading prayer, participating in service opportunities, and supporting classmates in their faith journey.
Retreats
Retreats give every student time away from the routine of school to reflect, build friendships, and grow closer to God. Each class participates in age-appropriate retreat experiences designed to encourage personal and spiritual growth.
Faith calls us to serve others. Every St. Teresa student completes 20 hours of Christian service each year. Students also participate in two school-wide service days each year, putting their faith into action throughout the Decatur community.
