Servite High School - Priory

Priory

There are two primary components of the Priory Leadership Program. First, the entire student body is divided into eight Priories (a Servite word for a community) of 110-120 students each, freshmen through seniors. Each Priory is named after one of the Seven Holy Founders of the Servite Order with the addition of “Philip,” one of the primary saints of the Servite Order:

• Alexis
• Amideus
• Bonajuncta (pronounced “bōnăyūnctă”)
• Bonfilius
• Hugh
• Manettus
• Philip
• Sostene (pronounced “sŏstĭnay”)
