We combine classic educational practices with innovative cutting-edge technology that inspires our students to excel.
Our mission is to transform students into vibrant, balanced, and respectful individuals, equipped to lead and inspire.

They will be exceptionally prepared to contribute meaningfully to the world beyond our campus.
Spiritus Donorum
At Juan Diego Catholic High School, we are driven by Spiritus Donorum-the spirit of giving-which shapes our compassionate and generous educational approach. With a legacy of 120 years of Catholic education in the Diocese of Salt Lake City, we honor our rich heritage and carry forward the timeless values of our past into today’s world.
- Inspired by our patron, the steadfast Juan Diego, and symbolized by the soaring eagle that embodies our community’s highest aspirations, we are committed to empowering young men and women to become proactive, engaging, and compassionate citizens in a complex society.
- Rooted in the biblical mandate to "act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God" (Micah 6:8), our school is devoted to creating an environment where respect and reverence for all life are fundamental. This dedication ensures that the inherent dignity of every individual within our diverse community is recognized and celebrated.
- Echoing Saint Paul’s affirmation that "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28), our administration and student leadership prioritize initiatives that reinforce this essential truth.
Embracing Social Justice and Catholic Values
Our vibrant school community benefits from the diverse contributions of students, parents, faculty, and staff. We embrace the wide range of experiences and perspectives each person offers, compelled by our Catholic faith to welcome everyone into our educational journey, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, or economic status.
We are dedicated to an educational path that not only respects but deeply reveres the diverse tapestry of humanity. Our commitment to social justice and Catholic values embodies the spirit of giving, fostering an environment where every member of our community can flourish and make meaningful contributions to the wider world.
