Frequently asked questions answered for those looking for a unique, faith-filled experience
Why a Catholic School? Catholic high schools are unique
faith-centered communities that inte-grate thinking and believing in ways that encourage intellectual growth and nurture faith and inspiration. They cre-ate a supportive and challenging climate which affirms the dignity of all persons within the school community.
Which school is right for us? God made each one of us unique
with special gifts and needs. High school is a new destination along the journey of faith and education. As one begins the task of choosing a Catholic high school, one will discover that each has its own qualities.
When should we start looking?
• Sixth grade is the time for families to start considering which high school would be most appropriate for the stu-dent. At this grade level, the approach should be low key and not pressured. Each student has different needs and every high school should be considered for its various strengths.
• Seventh grade students should begin thinking about the environment and the activities that are important to them. Students should be open minded and consider all options.
• Eighth grade students will experi-ence many opportunities to finalize the decision on which high school will best meet their needs. Check with the high schools for specific deadlines and proce-dures for admission.
How do we decide on which school?
• Step 1 – Prioritize. List everything that is expected during the high school experience. Evaluate this list and ar-range it in order of importance.
• Step 2 – Visits. Take advantage of freshman-for-a-day programs, open houses, high school information nights, and other special events offered at the high school.
Considerations It is important to evaluate each
high school in light of the student’s needs. Since many students are inter-ested in Catholic education, it is neces-sary to meet all deadlines set by the individual high schools.
Admissions procedures have been established for each school. An outline
of the procedures is available at the individual high schools.
Checking them outOpen house days allow students
and parents to visit and tour the schools, meet faculty, ask questions and gather information.
Special event attendance at fine art shows, music performances, plays, worship opportunities, fundraisers and
Thinking of Catholic high school?
Staff and Wire Reports
For more than 20 years, the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) has recog-
nized exceptional individuals for their support of education and youth in the United States, and of Catholic education in particular.
NCEA’s St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Award and the NCEA President’s Award were created to honor those individuals whose personal or professional philan-thropy or volunteer service has im-pacted U.S. education and our country’s youth in general or Catholic education in particular.
The NCEA will honor individuals and organizations with the NCEA Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Award on Oct. 5 in Washington, D.C. The Seton Award celebrates the honorees’ lifelong devo-tion to Catholic education.
“Outstanding support and service to Catholic education in communities throughout the country is alive and well,” said NCEA president Brother Rob-ert Bimonte. The honorees “are among the champions serving our nation’s youth and proclaiming the good news of Catholic education. This 25th Anniver-sary of the Seton Awards is a land-
National honorees showcase commitment to Catholic education National Catholic Education Association award winners exemplify support and innovation
mark event for our members as NCEA continues to recognize distinguished individuals and organizations within our Catholic communities who emulate Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s dedication to Catholic education.”

We also participate in Pyxis Program and A Mentoring Program.

WHO BETTER TO TEACH THEM?
A child’s faith life is built and nurtured by their parents. Our doctrine holds that the family household is the DOMESTIC CHURCH and that PARENTS are the first catechists of their children.
Parents can turn to The Monitor to refresh their own faith education, stay up to date with news and issues in the Church and find resources to help them teach their children and apply what is learned to real life. Having The Monitor in the family home is a consistent, visible and accessible way for your family to cultivate a sense of Catholic identity.
