Summary/Abstract: This paper tries to make a blueprint of the religious and moral values that the teenagers have nowadays. The identification of the defining elements of the present generations of students is increasingly a priority of the society and the Church, as they represent not only the adults of tomorrow, which will influence society through their own resources and actions for at least a generation, but also the defining factors for the perception that the future students will have of the educational environment from Romania. The data on which the present research was conducted were collected from over 1,100 high school students from Alba County, using a questionnaire validated by the Institute of Educational Sciences from Bucharest, institution subordinated to the Minister of Education and specialized in educational research. The application of the questionnaire in high schools of Alba County, on a representative sample in terms of distribution by class, specialization or gender was possible through the involvement of the educational and administrative forums at the county level.
