DuBois Central Catholic Reaches Historic $7.5 Million Campaign Goal

With immense gratitude and excitement, DuBois Central Catholic is proud to announce that we have officially reached our $7.5 million Comprehensive Campaign goal.
 
This remarkable milestone is a testament to the extraordinary generosity, faith, and commitment of our alumni, parents, parishioners, friends, community partners, and benefactors who believe in the mission of Catholic education. Because of your support, we are well positioned to strengthen our school for generations to come.
As we bring this campaign to a close, final gifts are still welcomed. Every additional contribution will further enhance the impact of this historic effort, allowing us to expand the projects and programs that will benefit our students, faculty, and the entire DuBois Central Catholic community.
 
In the months ahead, we look forward to bringing many of these exciting initiatives to fruition. These investments will strengthen our facilities, enrich academic and extracurricular opportunities, and ensure that DuBois Central Catholic continues to provide an exceptional faith-filled education for years to come.
 
On behalf of our Board of Directors, campaign leadership, faculty, staff, and especially our students, thank you for making this vision a reality. Together, we have accomplished something truly extraordinary, and we look forward to celebrating the lasting impact of this campaign with our entire community.
 
Thank you for believing in DuBois Central Catholic. The future is bright, and the best is yet to come.

We believe deeply in DCC's mission, and we want to continue its tradition of excellence. It is through this campaign that we can preserve the school’s storied history of faith-based teachings and academic prestige while positioning DCC for enhanced growth and longevity for years to come. We hope you will embrace this campaign as an investment in our children's future.  We invite you to please join us in "Looking to the Future" and investing in DuBois Central Catholic School.

Multi-Purpose Center
Multi-Purpose Center Proposal

We envision a brightly-lit and open multi-purpose complex that will be used for lessons and activities that don’t fit well in a traditional classroom, and yet offer inspiring learning experiences for students. The center will also be used to host school-wide and community events, as well as multi-school sports tournaments and games. Constructing a multi-purpose center both freshens and modernizes the school facilities of DuBois Central Catholic School, and aids the school in its longstanding tradition of providing excellent, faith-based academic instruction for area students.

Our first DREAM was to build a modern PK to 12 school with a unique design, a great faculty and student body. That dream has been completed. Now it is time to DREAM again. We begin "LOOKING TO THE FUTURE" to update and create. I encourage everyone to make this DREAM come true. - Monsignor Henry Krebs
