Antonian Named in Top Fifty Catholic Schools in the United States

Antonian College Preparatory High School Named One of Top 50 Catholic High Schools in the United States in 2004 and Category leader in catholic Identity in 2005.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (Oct. 20, 2004) - The Catholic High School Honor Roll today announced the selection of the best 50 secondary schools in America. The first annual Honor Roll, which will serve as an invaluable resource for students, parents and benefactors, recognizes the nation's top 50 high schools based on their demonstrated commitment to academic excellence, Catholic identity, and civic education. To see a complete list of the schools, please go to the Catholic High School Honor Roll Web site at www.chshonor.org.

Antonian College Preparatory High School in San Antonio was named to the Honor Roll. Archbishop Patrick F. Flores said, "I am pleased that Antonian College Preparatory High School has been recognized by the Catholic High School Honor Roll. It is a well-deserved honor and I congratulate all of the administrators, faculty, staff and students. " Advisory board member Gerard Bradley, Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame, said the Honor Roll will serve as a benchmark for all who are seeking an education informed by faith. "It draws attention to schools that are contributing in extraordinary ways to the moral and intellectual formation of young people," he said.

The primary goal of the Honor Roll is to encourage schools to educate their students as effectively as possible, in a way that integrates Catholic faith and prepares students for active engagement with the world. In addition to the Top 50 list, the Honor Roll also published the top 20 finalists in three categories that are important to overall excellence: Academics, Catholic Identity, and Civic Education. Antonian was named top school in Civic Education and Action Category.
