Teaching at Gilmour Academy is a unique call to help students grow cognitively, spiritually, and socially/emotionally. We are a Catholic school in the Holy Cross tradition. Our mission and identity, shaped by the charisms gifted to our Holy Cross community, inform all our work. Teaching at Gilmour is student-centered and outcome-based, but uniquely excellent when it is done as mindful and intentional members of the Holy Cross community.

Gilmour instills in every student a strong sense of self-worth through personal achievement and the discovery of his or her own voice. The world our students will soon lead will require them to be persons of great competence, courage, and moral stamina, with an enthusiastic, lifelong desire to learn.
