High-schoolers take pride in actively promoting their schools to prospective students

Notre Dame junior Abigail Vernon has some sage advice for prospective high school students.

“Keep an open mind. Just because your friends/family go to a certain school does not mean that you have to go there as well,” the Lawrenceville high school student said.

Even after the open houses, this showcase can provide essential information to families considering enrolling their child in a Catholic high school in the Diocese of Trenton. Included in this publication is a look at academic and sports programs, tuition, spiritual life opportunities, SAT scores and more as well as a list of all Catholic schools in the Diocese.
Listing of Catholic colleges

Following is a listing of Catholic colleges, universities in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest regions:
TCA student awarded Catholic University of America scholarship named for Bishop O'Connell

For Trenton Catholic Academy senior Angie Labissiere, attending The Catholic University of America, Washington, and receiving the Most Reverend David M. O’Connell Service Scholarship is a dream come true.

“I truly feel privileged to be chosen as the winner of the Bishop O’Connell Service Scholarship. Being able to attend college is a dream that I’ve always longed for,” the Hamilton school student said.

“The fact that this scholarship is solely based on service means so much to me because service is a major part of my life. I owe all my blessings to the different service projects I have been a part of; they all played a huge part in breaking me out of my comfort zone and shaping me into the person I am today.”
Faithful co-eds seek campus ministries for fellowship, support

Whether it is a shared faith, a sense of fellowship and support, or a refuge from the challenges associated with coursework and potentially negative influences, young men and women attending colleges across the Diocese of Trenton turn to campus ministries to keep the faith during their collegiate pursuits.

Column: College applications - the gift of perspective

It’s the time of year when high school seniors run to their respective mail boxes (or more likely, email inboxes!) after school each day to see if the long-awaited “fat envelope” from their dream college has arrived. Some refer to this as a time of stress, but in my experience, many seniors approach this time with a great sense of excitement. With each new letter or email delivery comes something that could potentially determine the course of the rest of one’s life. A rejection letter closes a door. A hope that had been entertained must be let go. An acceptance letter opens the door to possibilities only previously dreamed of.
