Northwest Catholic develops leaders who faithfully serve God and others. Benefactors of yesterday, today, and tomorrow strengthen the foundation laid in West Hartford over 60 years ago.
In 1961 eight Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs devoted their time and energy to educating the young minds of Northwest Catholic students. Their guidance provided the foundation for the growth and development of the student body. Givers at this level continue the tradition of our founding Dominican Sisters.
Over nearly 65 years, religious and lay presidents and principals, school administrators, and dedicated faculty have laid an example for our thousands of graduates to forge their path according to this mission.
During his time at Northwest Catholic, Rev. Bradford Colton, the first principal, was an exemplary leader, educator, and mentor to many students. He lived the mission of our school with humbling grace and dedicated his life to educating others.
As the school's first president, Rev. Henry C. Frascadore initiated the Annual Fund and pioneered the development of the Northwest Catholic Endowment Fund. As a result, the school grew tremendously, and today's students continue to enjoy the fruits of these programs.
