Carondelet President Bonnie Cotter Carondelet President Bonnie CotterWe follow in the footsteps of brilliant and dedicated educators who established a holistic view of education that included the mind, body, and spirit, and who continue to engender a collaborative world view in the tradition of the Gospels. This approach is what empowers our graduates to bring their many gifts and talents to the world through their leadership and service.

While the end result of a Carondelet education is young women who are prepared for university success, compassionate leadership, and a life rooted in values, this is not the whole story of Carondelet. Indeed, it is paramount that students truly enjoy their four years at Carondelet! The range of opportunities to hone their skills and develop their passions in student leadership, the arts, competitive sports, volunteerism, clubs and activities, and many other areas ensures that each student is nurtured within an environment that values diversity and the contributions of all. Carondelet students become part of an authentic sisterhood that is a source of joy during their high school years and beyond.

A Carondelet student is courageous, composed, confident, eager to learn more, and prepared to tackle what’s ahead of her in our ever-changing world.

I welcome you to explore our programs, and I encourage you to visit us in person. At Carondelet High School, you will find a contemporary iteration of traditional excellence where we prepare young women to go forth and shine as tomorrow’s leaders.
