Our Dallas area Catholic Schools stand tall among other educational experiences across the nation and are poised to reach greater heights.
Still Focused on Learning. Our school leaders, teachers and staff members have been proactive and resilient through many pandemic-related challenges. With about 95% of students in person and 5% online alongside their classmates throughout the 2020-2021 school year, learning and growing continues to be the focus.
School Health & Safety. While new protocols to maintain health in our school and parish communities has been required, we have been able to do what few organizations have over the past year. For example, we became the only school system in the state approved to provide vaccines.
Celebrating our Teachers. In a remarkable year, it means a great deal to earn the HALO Educator of the Year Award. Please join us in congratulating this year’s winners:
- Mrs. Kim A. Nguyen, Saint Joseph Catholic School, Richardson
- Mrs. Estela Valdez, Saint Cecilia
- Mr. Michael Alfers, Bishop Dunne
Congratulations also to the honorable mentions:
- Ms. Kirstian Hillier, Saint Monica
- Mr. Mike Rock, John Paul II
We are proud of our educators and now that it is summer, we hope they will soon be enjoying a very restful, wonderful break.
In the meantime, The HALO Initiative is working hard to find more new families who are ready to join out school communities and support for these efforts. If you would like to learn more about how you can help, please reach out to gayla@haloinitiative.org
