DUBOIS – The Diocese of Erie has requested that each school within the Diocese create a plan of action for the reopening of schools for the 2020-21 school year.
Gretchen Caruso, president of the DCC School System, stated: “The Erie Diocese recognizes that each school is unique and plans need to reflect local needs.
“The Health and Safety Plan will be created specifically for DuBois Central Catholic. The plan must keep Gov. [Tom] Wolf’s color-coded reopening plan in mind, so school districts in red phase counties must continue remote instruction, for instance.
“The plan will have to be approved by the DCC Executive Board, then submitted to the Diocese of Erie for approval, and then finally by the local school board.”
According to the Diocese, the final plan must be posted on the school’s Web site before reopening can occur.
DCC has completed its Return to Sports Plan, which was approved by the DCC School Board on June 25 and the Director of Athletics for the Diocese of Erie Doug Chuzie.
The plan meets the PIAA and governor’s directives and will be added to the DuBois Central Catholic Web site, www.duboiscatholic.com, under the ‘Athletics’ tab on July 1.
After much discussion, it has been decided that the 2020 DCC spring musical production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella will be postponed until the spring of 2021.

Please bring your tickets to the main office of the middle-high school, anytime between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday – Thursday. You will either receive a refund check or a credit slip for your tickets.
