Dear Friends,
Regis is an academic community where everyone knows the special uniqueness of each other and strives to foster the best in each being. It is a place where little boys grow into young men through the gracious love and dreams of their parents, through the instructional regimens and nurturing of their teachers, and through the examples of older student “big brothers”. Regis is a place where minds and hearts and character are nourished; a place where leadership and courtesy are revered.
One cannot talk about Regis without acknowledging the importance of its relationship to the Network of Sacred Heart Schools. Each one of the Sacred Heart goals speaks to the development of student and teacher and to our families. As you search through this website you will find the five Sacred Heart goals and you will understand what motivates us to educate boys to good choices and responsibility for their world. You will also come to appreciate the diversity of our school where all are welcome and where the relationships with our families are quite important. It is our mission of “educating boys to become scholars and gentlemen in the Sacred Heart tradition” that sets us apart deliberately. There are both tangible and intangible differences about this school that beckon newcomers and sustain the good will of former families. I could tell you the many ways in which I find Regis different from other schools, but I want you to come visit. In fact, I invite you to come see for yourselves.
Welcome to the school that fosters the all encompassing, sustaining, accepting love of Christ’s Sacred Heart, my school, and hopefully yours.
Nancy O. Taylor, Ed.D.
Headmistress
“Let us respect childhood; let us honor the soul of that small creature of God who
can already make choices of the best if we take the time to awaken his reason and
make him use his judgment….”
