“Never Waver from Her Precepts” SHP Alma Mater

Established in 1856, Seton Hall Preparatory School is a Catholic, college preparatory school called to educate young men of diverse cultural and economic backgrounds. Firmly rooted in our Catholic identity and rich tradition, our mission is to foster the spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical growth of our students. We do this in order to prepare them to meet the challenges of college and adulthood in a manner that embodies the values of spiritual awareness, academic excellence, personal maturity, and social responsibility with a particular emphasis on serving others.

The SHP Mission

A Place of Family

The growth of our students begins at home and is carried over into the classroom. We engage with the whole student, so our families are paramount to our brotherhood.
A Place of Faith

Seton Hall Prep educates the whole student, taking special care to nourish the religious and spiritual growth of our young men.
A Place of Compassion

A Catholic mission guided by service is central to a Seton Hall Prep education. Both within and without the community of SHP, our students learn that our sense of humaneness and conscientiousness is paramount.
A Place of Courage

Our motto, Hazard Zet Forward, encourages our students to persevere despite the difficulties.
