A letter from Valley Catholic School President John Matcovich
Dear Valley Catholic School Community,
Happy New Year! We are back in full swing as Valley Catholic students and staff returned to campus last week after a much needed break during the Christmas holidays. Students are wrapping up the first semester by preparing for finals in the middle and high schools, our athletes are competing on the court and in the pool, and the SSMO campus is back into the rhythm of school. It is good to be back together again.
As we enter the new calendar year, it is also time to begin the planning process for next school year. The first round application deadline for prospective new students is Jan. 9 and financial aid applications are due at the same time. Re-enrollment for the 2026-27 school year for current families will begin mid-February.
Financial plans are also in process for the upcoming school year. The principals and I are working collaboratively with the campus finance office to prepare budget forecasts for next school year. Our focus is on maintaining solid enrollment. A strong enrollment funds the programs and people who provide high-quality educational opportunities for Valley Catholic students. I encourage you to help spread the word to friends and neighbors about your children’s experiences here at Valley Catholic. Parent testimonials are our most powerful recruiting tool.
As we return to school, I remain grateful for the strong partnership that exists among our school families, our committed teaching staff and campus leadership. Together we have created a rich educational environment that is preparing our students to excel now, and into the future.
Sincerely,
John Matcovich
Valley Catholic School President
