Carroll Catholic Celebrating Catholic Schools Week

[January 29, 2008]  Catholic Schools Week is being celebrated Jan. 27-Feb. 2. The theme, "Catholic Schools Light the Way," underscores that Catholic schools really do "Light the Way" by providing a faith-based education that supports the whole child academically and spiritually. Students will "Light the Way" to a brighter future through their leadership in our communities, government, businesses and families.

The new theme and logo for Catholic Schools Week 2008 were announced at the National Catholic Education Association’s annual convention. 

This is the perfect time to get the community and students excited about being Catholic and having the opportunity to attend Carroll Catholic.
