2006 Honor Roll To Be Released in Mid-September
September 6, 2006

Look for the Top 50 Honor Roll list along with the category leader lists – for academic excellence, Catholic identity, and civic education – to be released in mid-September.

More schools applied for this year’s Honor Roll than in the previous two years, which will certainly increase the intensity of the competition. Also, our recently redesigned webpage now features a virtual newsroom that tracks news stories about Honor Roll schools.

As always, it is our pleasure to honor the good work of Catholic high schools across the country. We would like to thank the numerous administrators, teachers, and other staff who completed surveys for this year’s Honor Roll. The winner of the $1,000 prize – for a randomly chosen school that submitted all three surveys online – is Marian High School of Mishawaka, IN. Congratulations!
