Detroit C.C. Class of ‘78-’82. :)
There will be suicides in New Orleans, I didn’t see Jesuit.
My children went to Mt St Charles in RI. Too bad they didn’t give an award for excellence in hockey. All kidding aside I was very satisfied with their overall educational experience there. Well worth the money not to have them in a public school.
Surprised there aren’t any Catholic High Schools from the Toledo, Ohio area—St. John’s Jesuit. St. Ursula, Notre Dame...
Also, I went to Cathedral Prep in Elmhurst NY way back when. I think Pius IX had just convoked Vatican I... :0)
I wonder how the Cardinal Newman Society defines “civic education” and why there weren’t any schools that merited recognition in Catholic identity AND academics out of the ones that were recognized in two categories. Of the two schools with “Aquinas” in their names, one was recognized in all three categories and the other was recognized in academics. St. Thomas, pray for us!
My school Allentown Central Catholic in Allentown, Pennsylvania did not make the list....darn. I thought it was a pretty decent school.
Sure wish I lived closer to The Highlands (and that my job was closer). Dang good school. But JPII in Plano is close by and even though it didn’t make this list, I am impressed by what I’ve heard/read about the school. Now I just hope I can afford to send my kids there.
Detroit Catholic Central class of 1974 here.
But back then, it was in a more humble setting, not the multi-million dollar complex it is in now.
Lots of well-to-do alumni out there.
While its not on the list, I have always thought my Catholic high school was one of the best. They were even able to teach a few things to a very indifferent student.
Bishop England High School, Charleston, SC
Class of 1970
The rankings seem to be more associated with adherence to Catholic dogma/doctrine than academics. I noticed a dearth of Jesuit and Ursuline schools on that list - two orders that don’t always toe the line with the Mother Church. My wife is from KY, grew up in the Catholic school system in Louisville and had never heard of “Holy Angels Academy”. Yet none of the prominent Catholic girls schools (such as Sacred Heart Academy and Assumption) are on the list. Neither is St.X (boys school).
