Catholic Schools in Fairfield County are led by Bishop William E. Lori along with a team of highly skilled professionals in the Office for Education, including Dr. Margaret A. Dames, Superintendent of Schools. Together, the Diocese of Bridgeport Office for Education has earned invitations from Utah to Maine and from Denver to Washington D.C. to share the best practices in curriculum development in 39 of our Catholic Schools. Results speak for themselves.   

Bishop Lori has been invited to the United States Department of Education and the White House Summit on Education to share with others what is happening in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Our academic program, faith-filled learning communities and safe and secure classroom environments help us educate the whole student and promote their successful journey to higher education and throughout their lives.
