Top Catholic High Schools 2008!


For the fifth year, The Catholic High School Honor Roll, an independent project of the Acton Institute, an international research and educational organization, recently announced its best 50 secondary schools.

This year nearly 300 of the approximately 1,300 Catholic high schools completed the three detailed surveys that measure a school's adherence to the Church's educational mission. Each school also receives an evaluation to see how it compares to other schools nationwide.

The best schools demonstrate a balanced excellence, which includes an active Catholic culture, sound college preparation and integration of Church teaching in all departments. These schools also display sound moral, catechetical and civic formation that prepares students for vocations in the world as political, religious, scientific, and business leaders .Here is a list of the top fifty schools. Other category leaders in academics, Catholic identity, and civic education are were also named.

The news of Catholic High Schools being chosen for this honor is circulating through local and national media. Here is one story from the Indianpolis Star on the success of St. Theodore Guerin High School in Nobelsville, Indiana.
