Welcome to the Office of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Las Cruces!

We appreciate your interest in Catholic schools where faith, knowledge and service are at the heart of our educational mission.

As a parent or guardian, determining the right choice for your child’s education is one of the most important investments you will make for your child’s future. In making a decision for Catholic education you are opting for more than a building or textbook. Students receiving the gift of a Catholic education have the opportunity to experience education in the fullest sense of the word. Catholic Schools, as a ministry of the Church, assist parents in the formation of the “whole child” spiritually, physically and academically.

The Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Las Cruces are accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA). WCEA accredits Catholic elementary and secondary schools in nine western states (26 (arch) dioceses) and the US Territory of Guam. WCEA was established in San Francisco in 1957 and has a long and successful history of assisting school improvement through the accreditation process.

We invite you to contact any of our schools for a tour or contact the Department of Catholic Schools for more information.
