         <description><![CDATA[<div>Something remarkable began in the early 1900s, Catholic nuns and priests continued aiding in the creation/formation of Catholic schools throughout America. However, the main reason for the sudden increase in Catholic schools during this time was due to the immigration of Catholics in the later 19th century. Many of those immigrants wanted to continue to help their children receive correct Catholic Education in the USA so they went on to pay Catholic Sisters to teach in these schools. By 1920, over 6,551 Catholic elementary schools were in existence in America. In those schools, they enrolled 1.8 million students taught by 42,000 teachers. This number continued to increase rapidly to meet the all-time amount of students in the 1960s. <br>In July 1904, the formation of the Catholic Educational Association was born. The stakeholders, in this case, were Catholic Education Organizations: Education Conference of Catholic Seminary Facilities formed in 1898, the Parish School Conference which was formed in 1902, and the Association of Catholic Colleges which was formed in 1899. This had a great impact on Catholic Education because it created one large united Catholic Education Association that would work together, along with the National Catholic Welfare Council created in 1919, to coordinate all Catholic activity in general, which also had a focus on Catholic Education. The bishops were the ones who would oversee these meetings to make sure things were running efficiently and according to the Catholic Faith. After this collaboration, in 1927 the name of the organization slightly changed. The National Catholic Education Association was created and still exists today. This led to more leadership structural formation where leaders wanted to change their location to serve the best interest of the students in the Catholic Education system. In 1929, they moved their headquarters to Washington D.C. to be close to all the other major Education associations in the United States. The NCEA formed partnerships and collaborated with several public and private education agencies and the federal government to ensure that Catholic Education would be top-notch and relate to the general American Education system. This would make sure Catholic schools were running efficiently and following the expectations of American private schools while collaborating with public schools as well. This had also been a push from society to ensure Catholic schools were not only applying faith principles to their education but also serving their students' education and academics the way the public schools at the time were. <br>Sources:<br>Annemarie.

         <title>1925 Compulsory Education Act</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In 1922, the Masonic Lodge of Oregon created a movement for ALL school-age children to attend a public school. The support, some from Walter M. Pierce and the Ku Klux Clans, the Compulsory Education Law passed. The main purpose of it was to eliminate Catholic schools in Oregon, but also affected some military and other private schools there. It was challenged in 1925 at the Supreme Court level in Pierce v. Society of Sisters, but it was struck down. The law was officially known as the Oregon School Law.&nbsp;<br>Requirements of the law:</div><ul><li>All children 8-16 attend school</li><li>All must only attend PUBLIC school</li></ul><div>On account of this law, private/parochial schools were shut down by the state. <br>Backlash and outrange ensued by Catholics at local and national levels. They began to fight for the right to send their kids to Catholic schools. In 1925, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Law was unconstitutional. The ruling has been referred to as the "Magna Carta of the parochial school system." The court said in the ruling that children are not "mere creatures of the state" and said that private schools have as much of a right to exist in the USA as public schools do. <br>In 1929, Pope Pius XI talked frequently about this case and mentioned it often in his encyclical: Divini Illius Magistri on Catholic Education.<br>The stakeholders in this event were all Catholic Schools in the state of Oregon especially but beyond as well. They would fear this law would spread from state to state and shut down schools. It also affected parents and students of Catholic schools in Oregon and their teachers. It greatly impacted Catholic Education because it led to the Compulsory Education Act which said that parochial schools have a great right to exist in America. Leadership in Catholic Education became stronger on account of this case because it made leaders fight for the right to educate students in Catholic schools. It made a stronger Catholic school system and community. It also made the mission of Catholic Education stronger because it showed the importance of a Catholic Education and Pope Pius XI even referenced the importance of this case in his writings about the importance and mission of Catholic Education. It really made some people see the importance and mission of Catholic Education. Society influenced this case by parents of private school students fighting back and influencing leaders to change and overturn this law. As one can see by the above drawing, some people in society, still did not want this law to be overturned which is why it is so important, even today, to continue to talk about how important and key Catholic Education/schools are today in the United States. <br>Wikimedia Foundation.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Students were able to be in-person or to a degree which was critical to the students' learning, "By the beginning of the 2020-21 school year, according to Ms. Porter-Magee, 92 percent of Catholic schools nationwide were open to “some kind of in-person learning, compared to only 43 percent of public schools and 34 percent of charter schools. Ms. Porter-Magee said. Emerging post-shutdown studies, she said, support the proposition that the more time students have been able to experience in-person instruction, the better they have performed both academically and in terms of social-emotional learning."</div><div>Catholic schools are out performing public schools which aloud for more in-person experience with faith and encounters with the faith.<br>The leaders of the school are stepping up and taking this seriously, "Lincoln Snyder, the president of the N.C.E.A., called the results a proud moment for Catholic education. “One of the reasons Catholic schools performed so well is that our teachers showed up for the kids,” he said. “In every state, we were among the first to transition to distance learning, and after that brief time, also among the first to return students to a safe in-person environment. That’s why I call our educators heroes.”</div><div>This impacts the mission of Catholic Education by allowing for good examples of how the Church comes together in times of need and where the kindness comes through to the community and helping each other out.</div><div>Source:<br>https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2022/10/25/catholic-schools-naep-244026</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>In 1877 Mother Alfred saw the need after the tornado through Rochester to build Mayo Clinic and also founded Academy of Our Lady of Lourdes. Mother Alfred has contributed to many Catholic schools over the US. This connection and building the school impacted the lives that have come and passed and stayed in Rochester MN for medical reasons due to Mayo Clinic. The impact on Catholic Education has been built up and has giving many opportunities for students and staff to encounter the faith and share it with the community. The Catholic education has grown with the sisters of Assisi as they still are often coming and going from the schools. Academy of Our Lady of Lourdes has now transformed to Lourdes High School, but also the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi have contributed to 5 other schools over the years. Over time, a board of trusties, Catholic communities and parishes have come together to create Rochester Catholic Schools, five buildings one mission. That mission is to bring the gift of God's peace into the schools through faith, academics and community as the students grow. The impact of the sisters and Mother Alfred has truly impacted the community to give and receive to the Catholic education of these students. Due to the community involvement and parishes, the schools work closely to bring Christ's light wherever they go.</div><div>Sources:<br>https://www.rcsmn.org/about/rcs-history</div><div>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/55319085/mary_alfred-maria_catherine-moes</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>1790: St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Stands up for Catholic education</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One of the most important people in Catholic education in St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. She was “a revered pioneer from the early 1800s”. She also is “a native of New York who worked in Maryland with the support of Bishop John Carroll (the nation’s first and only bishop 1790-1800) to found a teaching order of sisters and establish schools in several Eastern cities.”&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>St. Elizabeth began founding teaching orders in the era of no tolerance for Catholics. “In 1790, when the 13 colonies became the 13 states, Catholics numbered only 35,000 in a population of 4 million; and by 1820 the number of American Catholics was still no more than 200,000.” Her goal was to improve the amount of members of the Catholic community.</div><div><br></div><div>“Seton is a heroine of Catholic education, but she labored in the vineyard during a simpler era of anti-Catholic discrimination, when Catholics were few on the ground. Two decades after her death came the dawn of a new era, in which our Protestant brethren would have to count their papist neighbors in millions rather than thousands.” Even after she had passed, her determination was proven a success. The number of Catholics more than doubled since she began her determination.</div><div><br></div><div>Today we need to think about and thank early members that made our Catholic education a success. St. Elizabeth was just one of many members that fought for our faith.</div><div><br>Banos, E. (2022, October 18). <em>Catholic education in America: Struggle and success</em>.
