Superintendent Message

Catholic education in Medicine Hat and Bow Island Catholic Schools has shown steady growth in recent years. Parents from our communities continue to express their confidence in our educational programming by sending their children, in record numbers, to be taught in our schools. This is a sacred trust! In our mission to show Christ to each child, we must endeavour to pursue this goal in a collaborative manner amongst our three main partners who make up the cornerstones of our educational system. The Church, the family and the school must work and plan, hand in hand, to attain our goals.

We will be focusing, more than ever, on planning for that preferred future as a community of believers in Christ's mission.

Thank you for visiting our website, I welcome you to explore the many opportunities that await you and your children with Medicine Hat Catholic School Division.
