Diocesan Mask Guidelines - Starting 9/10/21
Adam J. Dufault, Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Columbus, has provided these new guidelines and protocols regarding the diocese's mask policy:
"To utilize the modified quarantine protocols that will lessen quarantine numbers and to bring our schools into voluntary alignment with the new orders from the City of Columbus, the Catholic high schools in Franklin County – Bishop Hartley, Bishop Ready, Bishop Watterson, St. Francis DeSales, and St. Charles – will be requiring the wearing of face masks when indoors for all individuals in the school, vaccinated and unvaccinated, beginning on Monday, September 13. This temporary addition to our Covid protocols will be re-evaluated weekly based on a number of factors..." including transmission rate, hospitalizations and the overall trend of illness and quarantine in the schools. Thank you for understanding." -To read the entire letter, please click HERE.
This exciting initiative looks to the future of our diocese in light of the unique needs of people today, the needs of the culture around us, and the desire to form and activate Catholics to fulfill their baptismal call to become missionary disciples of our Lord and His Church to those in their everyday lives.

“To this day, my core group of friends remains those from St. Charles and whenever we get together we share and laugh about memories from our time there.
Specific things I recall are beating our league rival in soccer, praying before every class, learning from Sister Margaret the format for writing a paper (which I still use to this day), taking exams in the multi-purpose room, developing the study and time-management skills that I have applied in college and the rest of my life."
--Jay Knox, Class of 2006
"Our family strongly supports quality Catholic education. We believe in setting high expectations for our children so they are empowered to achieve great things.
St Charles provides our sons with a supportive environment that encourages hard work and perseverance. We have seen first-hand the growth and development of our three sons from young boys to men who are strong in their faith, active in the community and prepared for college. Our sons have benefited from the brotherhood of St Charles. It is entwined into the fabric and culture of the school and all of its families.
Most importantly, we have developed friendships that will last a lifetime.”
--Christopher and Karen Eramo
“My four years at St. Charles have provided me with a solid foundation built upon principles of faith, brotherhood, academic excellence and discipline.
I am confident that I am leaving St. Charles with the skills and experience needed to be a leader of consequence wherever life takes me.”
