The Catholic Education Office is called to be a faith community committed to the educational mission of the church in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. We offer leadership and service in the ministry of total Catholic education. In collaboration with others engaged in this mission, we articulate a shared vision of Catholic education and teach the message of Jesus Christ as we follow his call to "Go make disciples of all nations."
Trinity Catholic High School chemistry students finished 5th in the annual Battle of the Burets Chemistry contest held at Florissant Valley Community College. Senior Alana Schlemmer and sophomore Rachel Hunt defeated teams from Kirkwood High School and Westminster Christian Academy, and sophomores Mike Berliner and Rachel Toczylowski finished ahead of teams from Maplewood/Richmond Heights High School and Freeburg High School.

Catholic elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis won 76% (17 our of 23) of the top junior level prizes at the recent St. Louis History Day competition, and will advance to the state level contest on April 10 at the University of Missouri-Columbia. National History Day (NHD) is open to middle school and secondary students in public, private, parochial and home schools. Four parish elementary schools in this archdiocese—Holy Infant, Our Lady, St. Margaret of Scotland and St. Raphael the Archangel—routinely compete for the top prizes in the junior division, and routinely win most of them.
