Happy Catholic Schools Week!
Entering its 49th year of national recognition, we celebrate Catholic Schools Week from January 29th to February 4th this year!
Catholic education is a pillar of evangelization for our communities and our world, forming young men and women holistically as persons: morally, intellectually, athletically, and spiritually. Catholic school teachers, coaches, and administrations challenge millions of students to engage in critical learning, teamwork, and ultimately to embrace the challenge to become saints.
"Catholic education is above all a question of communicating Christ, of helping to form Christ in the lives of others."
