This resolution celebrates the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States by recognizing their academic excellence, diverse student population, and commitment to values-based education during the 51st annual National Catholic Schools Week (January 26-February 1, 2025). The resolution highlights that Catholic schools serve approximately 1.7 million students with a 10-to-1 student-teacher ratio, boast a 98.9% high school graduation rate, and include students from various backgrounds (29.4% racial minorities, 18.8% Hispanic heritage, and 20.8% from non-Catholic families). The Senate supports the National Catholic Educational Association's theme "Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community" and applauds these schools for providing an affordable, intellectually stimulating environment that emphasizes moral development, community service, and faith. The resolution specifically commends Catholic schools for their dedication to academic excellence and their role in promoting a stronger future for the United States by developing students who are committed to their faith, values, families, and communities.
