40th Anniversary

Celebrating 40 Years of Catholic Education at St. Catherine of Siena School

On September 2, 1985, St. Catherine of Siena Catholic School opened its doors to the very first class of “Stars.” What began as a bold vision of our parish and Vallejo community has grown into four decades of faith-filled education, family traditions, and academic excellence.

This year, we celebrate 40 years of shining bright—not only as a school but as a community rooted in the mission of St. Catherine: to set the world ablaze with the love of Christ through learning, service, and leadership.

A Year of Celebration

Throughout the 2025–2026 school year, our Events Calendar will be filled with opportunities for alumni, families, parishioners, and friends to gather and honor this milestone. Planned highlights include:

  • Kickoff Celebration & School Birthday – Marking our official anniversary in September.
  • Alumni Spotlights & Assemblies – Featuring graduates from across the decades who continue to inspire.
  • 40th Anniversary Spiritwear Coming Soon– A keepsake for students and families to wear proudly.
  • Community Events & Fundraisers – Looking ahead to the next 40 years with a vision for our school’s future.
  • Special Parish & School Masses – Giving thanks for the gift of Catholic education and our community.
  • Family-Friendly Events – From Fall Fest & Breakfast with Santa, to Off the Quad, Multicultural Sunday, and various other gatherings celebrating together.

More ideas, details and dates will be shared here as our planning committee events are finalized—check back often!
