Is your school delivering outstanding communications?
Durham Catholic schools are committed to engaging with our communities by delivering timely, effective, and open communication. A selection committee is accepting nominations from students and families who believe their school has done an outstanding job in communicating with them over the 2024-2025 school year.

One elementary and one secondary school will be selected to receive the award at the Board Meeting on May 26, 2025.
