It’s just part of who we are–courage, perseverance and dedication. Thanks to our founders, these virtues are essential elements of our heritage as Frassati Falcons. In 2007, when planning for Frassati Catholic High School began, a new Catholic school serving north Houston seemed like an impossible task. Through their selfless dedication, our pioneering founders made it, not to the finish line, but to the starting line, and Frassati Catholic opened in 2013. Now in our ninth year, Frassati Catholic students are finding success through their own acts of courage, dedication and perseverance. Our Falcons are soaring to new heights in all aspects of school life– in academics, fine arts, athletics, extracurricular activities, and spiritual formation–just like our patron, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. Pure of heart and ardent in charity, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati learned to see reality—to see the human person and the world as they truly are. That is to say, to see the world as God sees it. Such sight, such We l come !

wisdom, is the ultimate purpose of Catholic education. It is attainable by prayer and study through the lens of the Beatitudes: both in the classroom through the intellectual pursuit of truth in all its dimensions as well as outside of the classroom through the service learning program, fine arts, athletics, and other extracurricular activities. The human person is naturally attracted to the true, the good, and the beautiful. It is essential to our mission that Frassati Catholic students have opportunities to participate in excellent extracurricular activities, particularly in the fine arts and athletics. In this magazine you will see tremendous examples of our students pursuing the true, the good, and the beautiful through their courage, perseverance, and dedication to building a culture that embodies the truth about the human person who is destined to share in God’s own Divine life. Verso l’alto, Sister John Paul, O.P.
