Eight of our schools offer an extended day program and thirteen schools offer athletic programs – mainly volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, baseball, track and golf.
Every school maintains qualified teachers and staff to educate and provide a safe and sacred environment for our children. 184 of our teachers either maintain or are working toward their Ministry of Catechesis Certification. The children in our Catholic schools are a foundation for religious growth and carrying on the faith for future generations. We believe in providing the most current educational practices and ideologies while still maintaining the foundation of the Catholic Church.
