Background
Vincent Memorial was established in 1949 as Our Lady of Guadalupe Academy, an all-girls school. It moved to its present location in 1966, became coeducational, and was renamed Jean B. Vincent Memorial High School. In 2002, the school was renamed Vincent Memorial Catholic High School to better reflect the Catholic identity. It is staffed by the Sister Servants of the Blessed Sacrament.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
