Bill > SRes33

This Resolution expresses support for Catholic schools in the United States, recognizing their academic excellence, their role in fostering moral and intellectual development, and their affordability for families, particularly in underserved areas. It highlights that Catholic schools serve a diverse student population, including significant numbers from minority backgrounds and non-Catholic families, and that their graduates demonstrate a strong commitment to faith, family, community, and service. The Resolution specifically supports the goals of National Catholic Schools Week, an annual event cosponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), which celebrates the contributions of Catholic elementary and secondary schools. It also commends the dedication of Catholic schools, students, parents, and teachers to academic excellence and their crucial role in shaping a brighter future for the nation.
