CO-ED MIDDLE SCHOOL Grades 6th - 8th

OVERVIEW

On July 1, 2011, in cooperation with the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Pomona Catholic School opened as a co-ed Middle School. Under the direction of the Principal and the Vice Principal, the middle school serves to support this time of rapid educational, social, and athletic development. Students are encouraged to engage in personal reflection, as well as community service and involvement all of which support their spiritual growth and identity.

Within the sphere of academics and activities, students are able to test their ongoing potential. Pomona Catholic provides a welcoming environment that nurtures and encourages the skills, knowledge and experiences that best prepare the student for the rigors of high school. Our middle school students are exposed to our college-preperatory environment that prepares them to be the high school students of Pomona Catholic School (girls) and Damien High School (boys).
