Message from the Superintendent

As you consider the best educational path for your child, I would like to share with you the unique benefits and profound impact of a Catholic education. The Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Atlanta believe in nurturing not just the mind, but the heart and spirit of every student providing a holistic educational experience grounded in faith, academic excellence, service, and community.

Catholic education integrates faith and values into the daily learning experience. Our curriculum is designed to instill a strong moral foundation, teaching students the importance of compassion, integrity, and service to others. Our students are challenged to strive to reach their academic potential as they encounter rigorous academic core classes as well as courses in the arts, physical education, and foreign languages.

The mission statement for the Catholic School in the Archdiocese of Atlanta declares, “Our schools are committed to providing an excellent education in an environment of spiritual, moral, intellectual, and physical formation in accordance with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Atlanta serve a vital role in the evangelizing and educational mission of the Church.”

As the superintendent, I am honored to serve the Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. Acknowledging that our students, with their unique talents and boundless potential, deserve every opportunity that strengthens and nurtures them – intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically – through a Catholic worldview. I am proud that our schools continue to create vibrant and dedicated communities where faith and knowledge intersect, shaping individuals who will have a positive impact in the world. Our graduates are well-prepared for higher education and beyond, consistently achieving high levels of academic success, earning college scholarships, and venturing into successful and happy careers.

I invite you to explore the website for the Office of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Atlanta, as well as the websites for each of our archdiocesan and independent schools. These websites can be accessed through the “Find a School” tab. Discover what makes our schools exceptional places for your child’s educational journey!
