In an August 12, 2020 communication to all DeMatha families, Fr. James, DeMatha President, announced that, out of an abundance of caution for the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and families, DeMatha will engage in virtual learning for all students.
This decision will be reviewed toward the end of the first marking period, October 23, 2020. Further details will be sent to all DeMatha Families in the near future.
