National Catholic Honor Roll

St. Joseph Academy named to the Catholic Education Honor Roll

St. Joseph Academy, grades TK-12, was recognized as a Catholic Education Honor Roll School. The national Honor Roll program is directed by the Cardinal Newman Society and has recognized over 300 high-performing Catholic schools nationwide since the program’s inception in 2004.
After engaging in a thorough internal and external review of the school in its entirety, the Cardinal Newman Society awarded St. Joseph Academy Honor Roll status. The school received specific recognition for its strong integration of Catholic identity throughout its various programs, its dedication to its mission, and the richness of its community and spiritual life. The Honor Roll also recognized the school’s efforts at integral formation of the minds, bodies, and spirits of its students, as well as the way its comprehensive academic program seeks to instill a Christian vision of the world and human wisdom and culture. 

“The Honor Roll is a helpful tool for families and benefactors in recognizing the quality of a Catholic school,” said Patrick J. Reilly, president of The Cardinal Newman Society. “It is external validation that a school is both focused and successful in meeting the high calling of Catholic schools to serve the well-being and salvation of students and to serve the common good.” 

Dr. Denise Donohue, coordinator of the Honor Roll, stated, “We are very pleased to have St. Joseph Academy 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.”

St. Joseph Academy Headmaster Tony Biese remarked, "It is great affirmation for St. Joseph Academy to be recognized by the Catholic Education Honor Roll. This distinction confirms our commitment to the mission of Catholic education. I applaud the leadership, administration, students, parents, teachers, and staff for their hard work in ensuring that a strong Catholic identity permeates all that we do in preparing our students to be the next generation’s leaders in society and the Church.”
