The Cardinal Newman Society has issued its 2014 , recognizing 71 Schools of Excellence “marked by the integration of Catholic identity throughout all aspects of their programs and excellence in academics.� To make the list, the Society , schools must have “an institutional commitment to providing a truly integrated and faithful Catholic education across all disciplines and in all areas of student activities.�

Notably, four of the just 71 schools honored on this year’s list — less than 5 percent of the Catholic high schools in the United States — are headed by 91ºÚÁÏ alumni:

  • Marguerite (Ford ’79) Grimm is the headmaster of in Pasadena, California.
  • Luke Macik (’87) is headmaster of in South Euclid, Ohio
  • Rev. Mark Moriarty (’95) is the superintendent of in St. Paul, Minnesota, and the pastor of the parish.
  • Michael Van Hecke (’86) is the headmaster of in Ventura, California.

“The Honor Roll schools are a reminder that Catholic education is getting better every day—not only academically, but in the renewal of Catholic identity,� says Cardinal Newman Society President Patrick J. Reilly. “We are delighted to see the increased level of competition among the schools that participated in the program this year.�

Congratulations to Mrs. Grimm, Mr. Macik, Fr. Moriarty, and Mr. Van Hecke!
