The Valley Catholic School Gala is a whole campus fundraiser that benefits K-12 education. Each year we look forward to bringing our entire community together for a beautiful evening that supports Valley Catholic School and its Valiant students. Families, alumni and friends of Valley Catholic School are all invited to attend this elegant evening of fundraising, fellowship and celebration.
Ways the Gala benefits VCS:
VCS Gala is Nov. 8 and the Online Auction is Open
We are ready to celebrate with the entire Valley Catholic Community at NW Events and Environment on Nov. 8 at VCS Gala. This campus community event brings together the Sisters of St. Mary of Oregon, VC parents, alumni, and friends for a memorable celebration of all things Valley Catholic. In the meantime, get prepped for the Gala by bidding on exclusive items in the online auction.
Online Auction is open!
The online auction delivers a wide-range of exciting items and experiences straight to your fingertips. From unforgettable trips and exclusive family-friendly activities to VCS-exclusive prizes, campus parking, handmade crafts, even an autographed Taylor Swift CD – this auction has something special for everyone.

Behind this Year’s Artwork and Theme: “Celebrate the Journey”
“Personally I really enjoy taking long exposure photos, which ended in the capturing of this photo. While abstract, I think that the light itself and the path it takes represents the light and direction that Valley has given me. Everyday at Valley has a different curve or twist to it, leaving us to find our own paths, and the light represents the underlying foundation of the Sisters and teachers who help light our ways.”
~ Elijah Schaal ’26, winner of the 2026 Gala Poster Competition
