Congratulations to Mariel on another incredible achievement and for continuing to represent Valley Catholic on the world stage!

The Sisters are proud to celebrate the students, faculty, staff and coaches of Valley Catholic whose dedication and commitment continue the SSMO tradition of excellence in education.

As Valley Catholic School continues to grow, so does the number of events we cover throughout the year.

The energy is high with expectation as students return to campus! We are also excited because early-bird registration is open for the 30th annual VCS Gala!

It is time to put your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to work on DAF Day. Today, Oct. 8, supporters all across the country will recommend grants from their Donor Advised Funds to the organizations and causes they care about the most in support of DAF Day.
