Admissions News

Welcome to West!

West Catholic welcomed our newest Falcons to campus during a special open house last month. Incoming families explored programs offered at West Catholic, met future teachers, visited with coaches and club leaders, tried on uniforms, talked to financial aid experts, and received a special message from our current 9th graders. If you missed this event, feel free to reach out to Julie Herdegen for all the information!

 

Attention 8th Graders

Come and spend time with us! There are many opportunities to check out our campus each year, including shadow days, tours, concerts, sporting events and more!
