The Department of Catholic Schools (DCS) provides support to over 15,000 students and 1,300 teachers, principals and school staff who are on their faith and education journey. Our purpose is to promote and serve our Community of Catholic Schools and the Portland Archdiocese by communicating, assessing and reporting on matters of faith, Catholic Identity, policy and academic achievement between the Archdiocese, DCS and the schools. Catholic schools in Oregon, in collaboration with parents, parish leadership, and the faith community, teach and model Gospel values and the faith of the Catholic Church thereby forming witnesses of Jesus Christ though comprehensive religious, academic, co-curricular and service programs.
