Discover AND Celebrate Catholic Schools Week!
National Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. CSW runs from the last Sunday in January through the following Saturday. At the request of NCEA membership, a second week was added for Catholic schools to leverage their good news in a national initiative: Discover Catholic Schools Week (DCSW). This year, DCSW is November 16 - 22, 2025, designed to help schools connect with prospective families, donors, educators and community members. Use this week to showcase what makes Catholic schools—your Catholic school—the best. Knowing what makes your school unique is exactly what families need to discover when searching for the right school.
From January 25 - 31, 2026, NCEA continues hosting the traditional Celebrate Catholic Schools Week. Schools typically observe the week with Masses, assemblies, events and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members to join the celebration around what makes Catholic schools stellar. Make DCSW and CSW your own and share your ideas with NCEA and other schools using #CSW2026 and [email protected], YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X. The theme Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community will be used through 2026.
