I have worked for the Catholic Church in Catholic education for 37 years. I became excited as we began to plan this evening. I am looking forward to the New Millennium and a New Vision for the Diocese in education. There are 8,217 Catholic schools in the United States. The total enrollment of students in the Catholic schools is 2,648,844.Christ The King Cathedral School and St. Joseph in Slaton are a small part of this number, but an important part.
Catholic schools teach a diverse group of students.
I attend four Superintendent meetings a year in Austin. I served on the Texas Catholic Conference Accreditation Commission for one and half years. I can say with pride that both Diocesan schools are fully accredited. Value and moral education is more necessary today than ever. An education rich in Christian values is the foundation of all Catholic schools.
