The Joy Of Attending A Catholic School

Decent Essays
Attending a catholic school for nine years has taught me alot. I honestly feel that catholic school makes me want to become a challenging person because the teachers push you to do good and if you are not doing very good they push you to do better. I love that all of the staff in the catholic school encourages us and makes us feel like we are important and that we will succeed. Kids from public schools may think that catholic schools are so strict, or they just dislike catholic schools but honestly, in my opinion, catholic schools are great schools. Most of the teachers in St. Margaret Catholic School made me realize that school is very important because without an education then I will be lost in this world, I will not succeed.

    In an article titled, “Five Essential Marks of Catholic Schools,” Archbishop J. Michael Miller quotes Michael J. Guerra, former president of the National Catholic Educational Association, who once remarked, "The first and most important task for Catholic schools is to maintain and continually strengthen their Catholic identity" (2006). In an attempt to analyze the state of faith leadership in my school, Omaha Mercy High School, I interviewed three non-religion teachers: Heather Newville (science), Josh Riesberg (history), and Paul Tschudin (technology). As an English teacher, I chose to interview faculty members outside of my department in order to see the spiritual dimension of our school through the eyes of those whose experiences and opinions…

    “A good school provides a rounded education for the whole person. And a good catholic school, over and above this, should help all its students to become saints.” This powerful quote by Pope Benedict XVI really made me reflect on the countless people that throughout my years at St.Didacus have wanted exactly this for me. Not only demonstrated in the school , but the parish community as well. We hear the word “community” so much from preschool to 8th grade, however, not until now do I feel the power of the word.…

    Provisional Title “In God We Trust: Freedom Religion in Public Schools” This title was chosen to examine and understand the extent in which teachers and students can express their beliefs, and the extent to which schools allow religion to be tolerated. I chose the title “In God We Trust” because it is the official motto of the United States, yet it directly correlate’s with the controversy of separation of church and state. As an American citizen we have the right to freedom of religion, but the constitution is vague in what extent freedom of religion is acceptable.…

    When I was little I remember going to Catholic Church and not liking it. I felt like I never understood what the message was. When I went to the Catholic Church again I still didn’t understand what the message was. It seemed like I was lost from the moment I walked in. I couldn’t pay attention to the mass because there was so much around me like the statues, pictures and the smell was different.…

    At 38 degrees latitude north and 92 longitude west, lies the rural farming town of California, Missouri. This town is rich in cornfields, small businesses, and many churches of all denominations. From the quiet fields, to the busy town square this city is home to 4,341 people. What I believe makes California stand out from the other towns is that it has the “oldest continuously operating fair west of the Mississippi” (Kunze). But the thing that impacts me most about this town is the California High School, it’s staff, and the students.…

    There’s many reasons why people join a religion. Some are seeking for forgiveness, others want to find themselves, others because they think it’s the right thing to do, and there’s people like me, who follow a religion because of family.

    The job of a principal in any academic setting is a monumental task as students, curriculum, parents, teachers, faculty, legal issues, etc., all vie for guidance and attention. But I believe that the job of a Catholic school leader entails far more because I believe the profession of Catholic school leader is a vocation rooted in Christ. My role as a Catholic school principal is one of managerial leader, educational leader and most importantly as spiritual leader. It is my job to nurture a faith community that is built with relational trust and where my school can be transformed into a sacred place (Sergiovanni, 2015, p.12).…
