Values? yea i know we all have them, but why does an organization or corporation need them? As i pondered this question, it occurred to me that no entity, no matter how small, exists without values. For without values, whats the point? One example is my high school: Detroit Catholic Central. The motto of Catholic Central is "Teach me goodness discipline and knowledge". On the surface this seems like a pretty basic idea, however it was demonstrated constantly. From the Alma Matter we sing that goes:
Mary, Alma Mater, Your sons of Central honor, And trusting in your goodness, We hopefully implore, That by your grace we may every day, Prove that we are men, Of Mary, Alma Mater, Inspire us evermore.Mary, Alma Mater, Your sons of Central honor, And proudly wear your colors, The royal Blue and White, May valiant Blue and peerless White, Teach us to be men, Of Mary, Alma Mater, Inspire us evermore.
This particular song has been sung by the graduating class of every graduate ceremony of Catholic Central for over fifty years.
To keeping with the Catholic Values by saying prayer everyday at the start of the school day along with a school-wide mass every month.
Lastly we have almost a fraternal sense of brotherhood that is evident in everything we do including the Drive!
The Traditions and values at Catholic Central are to miss.
