Go Irish! Knoxville Catholic HS makes the cut!

Today, September 20, 2012, the winners of the 2012-2013 Catholic High School Honor Roll competition were announced by The Cardinal Newman Society. Since 2004, the Honor Roll has recognized excellence in Catholic identity, academics and civic education at Catholic high schools across the United States.

The top 50 schools are recognized for overall excellence, and other schools receive honors for special recognition in particular categories. This year seven schools were recognized for excellence in Catholic identity, six schools for academics, five schools for civic education, and five schools for two of the three categories.

And Knoxville Catholic High School made the Top 50 honor roll.  In addition, Notre Dame High School in Chattanooga was selected, making TWO high schools in the Diocese of Knoxville!

GO IRISH!
