Our Mission Statement

Bishop McDevitt High School, as a member institution of the Philadelphia Archdiocesan Secondary School System, strives to provide a virtue-centered Catholic education. The excellence it promotes, the traditions it cherishes, and the diversity it encourages combine to create an environment for spiritual, intellectual, and social growth. 

This effort validates pride in our past, commitment to our present and confidence in our future.

The school's educational community aspires to cultivate and nurture the mission of the living Gospel in all students.

Programs noted for academic excellence, with an emphasis on critical thinking and lifelong learning, are enhanced through extensive co-curricular and extra-curricular offerings. 

Individual opportunities for leadership and service prepare students to assume their roles in society as involved Christians and responsible citizens.
