OUR NORTH STAR

Bishop McDevitt High School is an empowering learning environment where every

student is provided a path to become the best version of

their God-given self.

SCRIPTURAL FOUNDATION: GEN 1:26-27

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created Mankind in his own

image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
