About WCEA and WASC

Central Catholic learned of its accreditation recommendation this summer. WCEA (Western Catholic Education Association) and its co-accrediting partner WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) agreed to our six-year term with a three-year revisit. We thank all of our parents and families for participating in this work, especially those of you who volunteered for intensive group discussions and hospitality.
