Catholic Schools Week.

The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2012 is "Catholic Schools: Faith. Academics. Service." The theme focuses on three priorities that Catholic schools establish that make them stand out from other educational institutions. Dozens of events have been planned by schools throughout the Archdiocese of Washington to celebrate Catholic Schools Week, January 29 -- February 6, 2012. This annual celebration highlights the contributions of Catholic schools through Masses, open houses and activities for students, families, parishioners and the community at large. The Archdiocese of Washington is home to 98 archdiocesan and independent Catholic schools, educating nearly 28,000 students in Washington, DC and Calvert, Charles, Montgomery, Prince George's and St. Mary's counties in Maryland.
