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.
