St. Benedict Elementary Named to Catholic Education Honor Roll
Local school, St. Benedict Elementary, acknowledged as Catholic Education Honor Roll School by the Cardinal Newman Society
Natick, MA- Today, St. Benedict Elementary was recognized as a Catholic Education Honor Roll School. The national Honor Roll program is directed by the Cardinal Newman Society and first began in 2004. While the national Honor Roll program has recognized over 300 high-performing Catholic high schools nationwide, St. Benedict Elementary is among one of the very first elementary schools in the country to have received recognition.
St. Benedict Elementary engaged in a thorough internal and external review of comprehensive program offerings before being awarded this status. The school has received specific recognition for the strong integration of Catholic identity throughout its efforts, including the integrity of its mission, the strength of its community and its rich spiritual life. The Honor Roll also recognized the school’s efforts at integral formation of the minds, bodies, and spirits of students as well as its comprehensive academic program, which seeks to instill a Christian vision of the world and human wisdom and culture.
Dr. Denise Donohue, coordinator of the Honor Roll, stated, “We are very pleased to have St. Benedict Elementary join in the nationally recognized ranks of excellence; this is a select group. The school has well demonstrated they are successful in meeting the key principles that guide Catholic education.”
