The Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board oversees Catholic education in Windsor and the surrounding County of Essex, in Ontario, Canada. It provides administration to a total of 50 schools which provide classes from kindergarten to grade 12, where Catholic teachings permeate all areas of the curriculum.

The Board's budget, spending and activities are directed by Trustees who are elected for three-year terms, coincident with municipal elections in Ontario. Five trustees are elected to represent sections of Windsor, and four represent areas of the County. A Student Trustee is also selected to represent the student body, and the clergy is also represented through a Pastoral Advisor to the Board.

In the 2005-2006 school year, the WECDSB administered 41 elementary schools and 9 secondary schools. The secondary schools are:

• Assumption Catholic High School in Windsor
