Exemplary Recognition Program

 

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has a commitment to excellence and continued school improvement that ensures the best learning possible for our Catholic elementary and high school students. The Exemplary Recognition Program, based on the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools,* honors schools that have demonstrated innovation and outstanding results in one of the following categories:               

  • Academic Excellence
     
  • Educating the Whole Student
     
  • Mission and Catholic Identity

No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. Luke 8: 16


Schools chosen to receive Exemplary Recognition display outstanding achievement in one of the areas above, as demonstrated by information provided in the online application and data validated by an onsite visiting team.


General Program Outline:

  • Applications for the Exemplary Recognition Program will be available to schools in November 2024.
     
  • Schools seeking Exemplary Recognition must be fully accredited.
     
  • Completed application narratives are due to the Office for Schools no later than the end of January 2025.
     
  • All application narratives will be reviewed by the Office for Schools. If a school demonstrates exemplary status in a qualifying area, it will be selected for a site visit to validate the data submitted. Site visits take place in the spring of 2025.
     
  • Award winners will be announced in June 2025.
     
  • Awards are valid for 5 years.
