Seton Catholic High School Opening to Coincide with Bicentennial

Vancouver, WA (August 12, 2009) - Vancouver, WA – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic High School, Vancouver, WA, will open its doors on September 8th to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Catholic Education in America. In 1810 Mother Seton started St. Joseph’s Academy, the nation’s first Catholic school, in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Archbishop Alex J. Brunett of the Seattle Archdiocese named the school and will visit Seton Catholic on September 27th to bestow a special blessing at the new campus.

“Welcoming Seton’s first freshman and sophomore students and the faculty is not only a milestone for the Catholic Community in Southwest Washington,” stated Principal Ed Little, “but the school is also a notable community feature. This school will add to the diversity of options and make our region a more attractive place to work and raise a family.”

Seton Catholic is a faith-based school that emphasizes a college preparatory curriculum and leverages technology as an integral part of the learning process. Students will each receive a Macintosh laptop computer loaded with e-textbooks for core courses to provide portable, easy access to their textbooks and assignments. Each classroom is equipped with document cameras and interactive white boards. For more information call Ed Little at (360) 258-1932 or visit the web site at www.SetonHigh.org.
