West Catholic’s 5th-Grade Takeover is a fun and immersive educational experience that takes place each fall. Visiting 5th-grade students eat lunch, meet teachers and staff, and take part in an interactive tour to experience a day in the life of a West Catholic student. This visit is meant to motivate and inspire students by showing 5th graders what awaits them after their K-8 graduation!
*West Catholic High School will transport 5th-grade students from Diocesan Catholic middle schools, so parents will still drop their child off and pick their child up as they normally would from their school.
**Any 5th-grade student is invited to attend. If your student does not attend a Diocesan Catholic school and you would like to sign them up, please email [email protected]. Our admissions director will ensure that your student can participate.
