A resolution supporting the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States and celebrating the 50th annual National Catholic Schools Week.

This resolution (SRES 539) is a symbolic Senate gesture supporting National Catholic Schools Week, celebrating its 50th anniversary. It recognizes Catholic schools' educational contributions - highlighting their role serving 1.7 million students, diverse demographics, and strong academic outcomes like a 98.9% graduation rate - without creating new laws or funding. The resolution formally applauds the National Catholic Educational Association and U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for organizing the week (January 28-February 3, 2024), themed "United in Faith and Community." It does not affect policy or funding but affirms the schools' community impact.
