Bill > HRes51

This Resolution expresses support for the goals of National Catholic Schools Week, an annual event established to recognize the significant contributions of Catholic elementary and secondary schools across the United States. This week is cosponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), two prominent organizations representing Catholic education and the Catholic Church in America, respectively. The Resolution also applauds the NCEA and USCCB for their chosen theme for the week, which aims to be universally celebrated. Furthermore, it supports the ongoing commitment of Catholic schools, their students, parents, and teachers to achieving academic excellence and acknowledges the crucial role they play in fostering a brighter and stronger future for the nation. The Resolution's preamble highlights that Catholic schools are internationally recognized for their academic achievements, provide a values-added education that emphasizes moral and intellectual development, serve a diverse student population, offer an affordable educational option, and produce graduates dedicated to their communities and committed to service.
