    Non-Discrimination policy

    Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Portland do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and/or ethnic origin, age, sex or disability in administration of their educational policies, scholarship pro-grams, and athletic and other school administered programs. Attendance at a Catholic school is a privilege, not a right.

    While Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Portland do not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them.
