You're invited to join us in supporting the 41st anniversary of Dowling Catholic’s largest fundraising event of the year - the Bash on Buffalo Auction! The party gets started at 6:00 pm in the Dowling Catholic gym.
NEW this year, proceeds raised support the STEM Endowment to enhance programming for all students in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM education offers a hands-on approach and prepares our students for real world scenarios by developing skills in critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, teamwork, and communication.
Dowling Catholic High School has been a vibrant part of the Des Moines community for over 100 years. Our students hail from all corners of the city and surrounding metro communities to form a wonderfully diverse student body with approximately 40% of students proceeding on to study STEM related fields after high school. Enhancements with relevant technology in our classrooms and STEM related Career Academy programming will complement our mission of creating Leaders for Life, Centered on Christ with a goal of guiding every student toward discovering their God-given talents and graduating with the confidence to lead positive change in the world.
Please join us in the Dowling Catholic high school gymnasium on Buffalo Road on Saturday, April 12th! We'll be celebrating all the wonderful things happening at Dowling Catholic with a captivating evening featuring a silent auction, live auction, raffle, food, drinks, and more!
