Catholic Schools Outperform

Data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) was recently released and we are proud to share that Catholic schools came out on top. When compared to their public school counterparts across the nation, Catholic school students’ average scores remained 15 points higher than the average scores of their 8th grade peers. Although the data looked at standardized testing for grades 4 through 8, it has implications for Catholic secondary education as well.

Important Information Regarding Holy Bowl

Dear Families:

Sacramento’s family of Catholic high schools is thrilled to be back welcoming our entire community for the 51st Holy Bowl this Saturday, September 10, 2022, at Hughes Stadium. This annual event is a fine tradition of good-spirited rivalry and is a chance for us to showcase our athletic accomplishments and enormous school spirit and pride. Students who attended years of grammar school together have an opportunity to catch up and socialize, and this is an opportunity to promote Catholic education to the broader Sacramento community.
