Erie Catholic School System

Our Catholic schools thrive because of the faith, dedication, and sacrifice of our teachers. They nurture not only minds but also hearts, guiding students in both academic excellence and spiritual formation.

Yet today, many of our teachers face a difficult choice: to continue serving in Catholic education or to seek financial stability elsewhere. To ensure we retain these extraordinary educators, we are launching a Teacher Retention Campaign focused on increasing teacher salaries and strengthening support for those who give so much to our children.

We invite you to prayerfully consider a gift in support of this campaign. Your generosity will directly:

• Provide salary increases that honor the commitment of our teachers.
• Help us retain experienced educators, ensuring continuity and stability for our students.
• Sustain the Catholic mission of education, where faith and academic excellence coexist.

Every contribution—large or small—makes a meaningful difference in the lives of our teachers and students.

Thank you for standing with us in support of those who serve daily as role models of faith, knowledge, and love. Together, we can secure the future of Catholic education for generations to come.

P.S. If you would like to get more involved, meet our new president Mr. Washko, or take a tour of one of our school campuses, please contact Kelly McCarthy, Advancement Manager at kmccarthy@eriecatholic.org.
