Quincy Catholic Elementary Schools is a consortium formed in April 2008 to work cooperatively and collectively on marketing and development efforts for the city’s four Catholic elementary schools. Coordinated by Paul Rittof, director of marketing and development, volunteer committees meet regularly to plan, develop, and implement initiatives to increase the awareness and improve the viability of Quincy’s four Catholic elementary schools. The four Quincy Catholic elementary schools strive to provide students an excellent education in a caring and nurturing faith-based environment that promotes students’ intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual growth and development.
