As you approach the front doors of Vermilion Catholic, you will see a two-part school motto displayed above both doors. Upon entering the school building, the first part reads, “Enter to Learn Christ,” as you leave the building, the second part reads, “Leave to Serve Christ.”
This motto is something the school strives to instill in all of our students on a daily basis.
