NCEA Congratulates the 2021 Honorees of the Lead. Learn. Proclaim. Awards
Outstanding leaders in Catholic education to be honored during the national convention, NCEA 2021.
Arlington, VA – The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) announces nine recipients of the 2021 Lead. Learn. Proclaim. Award (LLP). This award highlights the outstanding work being done in Catholic education communities across the country. This year the honored individuals are educators, principals and pastors entrusted with the faith formation of our Catholic school communities.
"Catholic schools offer an education that combines Catholic faith and teachings with academic excellence," said NCEA Interim President/CEO Kathy Mears. "We draw on the Church’s long tradition of educating the whole person: mind, body and spirit. This is done as a community pursuing faith, truth, beauty, goodness, wisdom and virtue. These leaders are the core of our Catholic school education system and serve as inspiration to all of us working within the framework of Catholic education."
