Our Graduates
The Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston Catholic Schools congratulates our Class of 2025 graduates! The 177 graduates across our six high schools were awarded more than $20 million in scholarship awards. Our schools boast a 100% graduation rate. Approximately 95% of our graduating seniors will further their academic careers at 120-plus colleges and universities, while others will enter post-secondary trade paths, technical programs, the US military, or workforce.
We also extend congratulations to our students who earned academic and athletic honors and scholarships, including our National Merit Semi-Finalists, and our two WVU Bucklew Scholars – Sophia Frame from Charleston Catholic High School and Luke Tiu from Central Catholic High School. Tiu was also named a WVU Foundation Scholar, which is the highest academic scholarship awarded at the university.
Our students embraced learning with faith-filled enthusiasm and excelled in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and service. May they cherish the memories, embrace the opportunities ahead, continue to learn and grow, and, most importantly, always remember the Catholic values instilled in them during their time in Catholic school.
