Our Schools
From the Acting President of the Walla Walla Catholic
Schools:
The Walla Walla Catholic Schools is a ministry established
by the three Catholic Parishes in Walla
Walla to provide a Christian-based education for
pre-school through high school aged children regardless of religious
affiliation. Our schools, Assumption
Elementary and Middle School and DeSales
High School, have a
special mission that set them apart from others, providing an Education for
Life. In addition to providing a
complete academic curriculum, the Walla Walla Catholic Schools combine
religious instruction, value formation, and respect for everyone into the
education of all students. Assumption
and DeSales educate the whole person, academically, spiritually, physically,
and socially.
Being a student in the Walla Walla Catholic Schools means
you strive for excellence in everything that you do through a collaborative
effort with parents, teachers, other students, administrators, and
volunteers. One is expected to be
respectful, to be of service, to be spiritual, and to be their best.
The Walla Walla Catholic Schools foster a sense of
community, support of family values, parental involvement, and service to
others. Our teachers nurture and
challenge our students to grow intellectually, in their relationships with
others, and in their faith.
We take great pride in the accomplishments of our students,
alumni, faculty, and staff. Over 95% of
our graduates immediately continue to further their education in college.
If you are looking for academic excellence, an education
that stresses high moral standards and Christian values, teachers who work with
the individual student, opportunities for involvement in extracurricular
activities and service to the community, athletic programs that build character
in the student-athlete, and a safe learning environment, then you should be
looking at Assumption and DeSales.
The Walla Walla Catholic Schools have been serving the
community for over 143 years. This rich
tradition confirms our belief that a Catholic education is an Education for
Life.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or
would like to learn more about the Walla Walla Catholic Schools.
Sincerely,
David F. Schmitz
