History

Since opening its doors in the fall of 1992 with a preschool program, Saint William of York Catholic School has grown each year and currently educates students through the eighth grade. Our founding pastor Father Gerald Weymes and founding principal Mrs. Claire Dougherty supervised the school program to its goal with the graduation of the first eighth grade class in June 2001.

Parish Administrator Father Michael R. Duesterhaus was responsible for the construction of additional classrooms, science lab, gymnasium, and office suites. In February 2002, Saint
William of York Catholic School was accredited by the Virginia Catholic Education Association.

In July 2004, Father David P. Meng was installed as Pastor of Saint William of York Catholic Church and School.
