At the end of the 2009-2010 school year in the Diocese of Raleigh, there were twenty-two elementary and middle schools, one high school, and nine early childhood centers. Blessed Sacrament in Burlington is the western-most and St. Egbert’s in Morehead City is the eastern-most of the schools. Catholic schools are located in seven of the eight Diocesan Deaneries, and new schools are a serious need in growing numbers of areas.
