Bill > HRes1022

This resolution supports the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States and celebrates the 52nd annual National Catholic Schools Week, which is an event cosponsored by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The resolution highlights that Catholic schools are internationally acclaimed for academic excellence, serving approximately 1.7 million students and providing a values-added education that emphasizes moral, intellectual, physical, and social development. These schools serve a diverse student population, including significant numbers from racial minority backgrounds, Hispanic heritage, and non-Catholic families, and are often an affordable option, particularly in underserved areas. Catholic schools are recognized for fostering students dedicated to their faith, families, and communities, promoting community service, and achieving high graduation rates with a large percentage of graduates attending four-year colleges. National Catholic Schools Week, observed from January 25 to January 31, 2026, with the theme "Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community," aims to recognize the vital role these schools play in promoting academic excellence and ensuring a brighter future for the nation.
