It is the dedication and commitment of our parent and community volunteers which strongly contributes to the success and achievement of our students, while working to strengthen our Catholic communities through a positive, educational environment.
Each year the Durham Catholic Parent Involvement Committee and the Durham Catholic District School Board come together in April to celebrate and thank our volunteers for their countless hours helping our schools, fundraising and/or sitting on Board-wide committees.
