The Honoring Our History, Faith in Our Future campaign theme celebrates those who have paved the way for us today, as we now prepare for future generations of Maroons. Our tradition of excellence started with St. Joseph Academy and Dowling High School and took on new heights from Buffalo Road more than 50 years ago. This campaign will position us to continue providing the best Dowling Catholic experience for the next 50 years.
With over 50 years calling Buffalo Road home, Dowling Catholic High School is looking ahead to the next 50 years. With a strategic vision guiding us, we are ready to pursue projects that will update and expand the facilities that make our mission possible.  
 
Through the Honoring Our History, Faith in Our Future Campaign, we will:
Create student-centered spaces that celebrate our history and prepare them for the future with dedicated areas to study, meet with clubs and access support in one central hub.  
 
Enhance campus safety measures through a single, secure student entrance and storm shelter that will protect the entire DCHS community. 
 
Expand practice and competition spaces that support our philosophy of involvement, continues our storied tradition of achievement and becomes our gathering place for all-school Masses.
Please stay tuned for more information soon.
