On Tuesday, January 28, the Charles County Commissioners proclaimed the week of January 26 through February 1 as Catholic Schools Week. Catholic schools in Charles County, and across the nation, are celebrating the 40th anniversary of National Catholic Schools Week. The celebration includes the theme, “Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service.” The Archdiocese of Washington has three Catholic elementary schools in Charles County. The schools are: Archbishop Neale in La Plata, St. Mary’s in Bryantown, and St. Peter’s in Waldorf. They provide students with a quality education and represent an important and honored segment of the educational community of Charles County. The success of Catholic schools is attributable, in part, to the formation of caring communities of parents, teachers, staff, administrators, and students dedicated to academic excellence and to moral and spiritual values.
