Nouvel Receives National Honors
Saginaw's Nouvel Catholic Central has been recognized as one of the top 50 Catholic high schools in the nation
The honor comes from the Catholic High School Honor Roll, which measures academic excellence, Catholic identity and civic education.
It's a thrill for the people at Nouvel. The school and the Saginaw Diocese made the announcement at a news conference earlier this morning, and then they told the students.
The 440 or so students gathered for an assembly to get the news. Three other Catholic schools in the state also received this honor.
It's something Nouvel applied for last year, but did not receive. The second time was the charm.
In all, 300 of the 1,300 Catholic high schools in the country applied for the designation.
The honor comes at a great time for Catholic schools in the Saginaw Diocese because enrollment has dropped in recent years.

Famous quotes containing the words receives, national and/or honors:
“One receives as reward for much ennui, despondency, boredom—such as a solitude without friends, books, duties, passions must bring with it—those quarter-hours of profoundest contemplation within oneself and nature. He who completely entrenches himself against boredom also entrenches himself against himself: he will never get to drink the strongest refreshing draught from his own innermost fountain.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“...America has enjoyed the doubtful blessing of a single-track mind. We are able to accommodate, at a time, only one national hero; and we demand that that hero shall be uniform and invincible. As a literate people we are preoccupied, neither with the race nor the individual, but with the type. Yesterday, we romanticized the “tough guy;” today, we are romanticizing the underprivileged, tough or tender; tomorrow, we shall begin to romanticize the pure primitive.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
