School Pledges
Three pledges have been developed for Divine Redeemer School. Each of these pledges outline the basic principles for our school. We promote a learning environment grounded in the teachings of Christ and based on fundamental Christian values of respect, compassion, honesty, and love. Our pledges reflect this philosophy. The Jubilee School Student Pledge is memorized by every Divine
Redeemer student, and recited daily after morning prayer.
