Current Activities
- Catholic Schools Week – Our Open House events have already begun and more are planned in January. Last year over 30 prospective families visited our campus for class tours, marketing presentations, and visits with our teachers. Please help to get the word out and bring any families you know who may be interested in the school!
- New Principal Selected – Mr. Thomas Pulchny (pullch´-nee) our new principal is off to a great start and getting to know all of the children. He comes to us with a reputation as a highly conscientious, passionate educator, who sees his role as a vocation, not a job. He is a devout Catholic and a family man. The PR team has done a great job publicizing his arrival, and there was recently a wonderful introductory article of Mr. Pulchny in the Saratoga News and the Mercury News.
