A Message from Our Superintendent of Schools

Welcome to the Diocese of Palm Beach Office of Catholic Schools.

Our Catholic schools are a vital ministry of the Church and a tremendous blessing to the families we serve. Across the Diocese of Palm Beach, 18 vibrant schools educate more than 6,800 students, supported by over 600 dedicated teachers and staff members who faithfully carry out the mission of Catholic education each day. From Boca Raton to Vero Beach, our schools are communities where faith is lived, academic excellence is pursued, and students are formed to lead lives of service and purpose.

In partnership with parents and pastors, and under the leadership of Bishop Manuel de Jesús Rodríguez, our schools nurture students spiritually, intellectually, and socially so they may grow into young people who know Christ, love their faith, and use their gifts to serve others.

For me, this mission is deeply personal. I am a proud graduate of St. Luke Catholic School and Cardinal Newman High School, and I have had the privilege of serving in the schools of the Diocese of Palm Beach for more than twenty years as a teacher, administrator, principal, and now superintendent. Catholic education shaped my faith and nurtured my vocation, and it is an honor and blessing to serve the very school system that helped form me.

As we look to the future, I remain deeply committed to supporting our schools, strengthening our Catholic identity, and ensuring that our students continue to receive an education that forms the mind, heart, and spirit.

Under the “Find a School” tab, you will find links to each of our schools, and the two Catholic private schools operating within the diocese, for you to learn more about their unique communities and programs. I encourage you to explore and discover the many ways our schools support students and families throughout our diocese.

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in Catholic education in the Diocese of Palm Beach.

Yours in Christ,

Katie Kervi
Superintendent of Schools
Diocese of Palm Beach
