Thank you for a Great School Year!

This past school year, our 50th, was filled with many outstanding accomplishments and successes.  We had a record enrollment of 547 students in grades Pre-K through 8, students again demonstrated academic excellence by placing in the top 15% nationally, students and teachers donated over 5,000 hours in community service, and they donated over $15,000 in food, shoes, coats, schools supplies and other items to the local community.  St. Charles Borromeo School is more than a school, it is a caring. loving school family.  Thank you all for helping us be such a great school!

New to the Community?

Are you new to Tacoma and seeking a terrific school for your children?  Our parish school has a 50-year tradition of excellence in Catholic education.  Our graduates are very well prepared for high school and beyond with a solid foundation in the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic, but also the foundation to be caring, responsible, and respectful adults.  Test scores place us in the top 15% nationally but the greater accomplishment is that we graduate really good kids.  For more information on our school, take some time to look at our website or stop by the school office when we re-open in August.
