St. James Cathedral Parish is a contributing member of the Rainbow Schools Coalition, a program whereby several parishes without schools contribute to the support of the four Catholic Elementary Schools in the central area of the city. Our participation not only makes it possible for Catholic education to continue in this area, it also allows children from our parish to attend one of the schools at parishioner tuition rates. The Cathedral parish contributes some $350,000 annually to the Rainbow Schools. ************** ST. GEORGE PARISH SCHOOL is a Catholic school for students in pre-school through eighth grade, and since 1921 St. George has been providing excellent education to families in and around the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.
