Fresno Catholic Schools Embrace Summer of Learning and Service Faith and Community Joan Bouchard, Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Diocese of Fresno
Garces Memorial Fun Farmers Academy (Bakersfield)
What a busy summer it has been with student activities, travel, celebrations and preparing for the 2023 – 2024 academic year. Both St. Anthony (Atwater) and St. Helen’s (Fresno) are celebrating 70 years of educating students! Additional information on anniversary activities can be found on their school websites. Our Lady of Miracles and The Catholic School of Visalia faculty, staff, and students participated in their local Pentecost Festa’s this summer. San Joaquin Memorial (SJM) participated in service to honor Nick Kauls (19) and families suffering from tragic shootings around the world and SJM Italian students traveled to Italy to practice their Italian. Garces Memorial was recognized for being the first California school to participate in Fun Farmers Academy to promote agriculture education and awareness for K-8 students with a week-long summer camp. Last, but not least, we open the doors to our first, stand-alone junior high school in August. Holy Cross Jr. High will be the stepping- stone between the elementary and high schools in Fresno Catholic Schools. Additional information can be found on their website (Holy Cross Junior High - Fresno, CA (hcjh.org).
A directory of all our schools can be found on the Diocese of Fresno website (Parishes & Schools - Diocese of Fresno - Fresno, CA) or each individual schools’ website. It is truly a blessing to be working in Catholic Education! God Bless.
