Message From The Principal:
Tuesday, July 22, 2025Welcome from the Principal
Welcome to Catholic Academy of West Buffalo!
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to our school community. With 48 years of experience in education—from Pre-Kindergarten through college—I can confidently say that Catholic Academy is a truly special place. Our students inspire me every day with their integrity, their appreciation for our diverse community, and their deep desire to learn and grow.
Rooted in strong Catholic traditions, our school is a place where faith, academic excellence, and character development come together. We provide a nurturing, challenging, and supportive environment where each child is encouraged to discover and develop their God-given potential.
If you are looking for a school where your child will be known, valued, and guided on an exceptional journey of faith and education, we invite you to become part of our Catholic Academy family. We would love to welcome you.
God bless,
Earl Schunk
Principal
