by this year’s sample respondents to our sustained efforts
to provide holistic education rooted in the Jesuit tradition
— the ‘4 Cs’ -- Competence, Conscience, Compassion, and
Commitment. These guiding principles of holistic develop-
ment have enabled St. Michael’s to earn a national reputa-
tion for producing graduates who are not only academically
