3. Distinguished by Excellence
Church documents, history, and practices, supported by Canon Law, establish that first and foremost a Catholic school
is characterized by excellence. Consistent with the defining characteristics, Catholic schools should implement on-going
processes and structures and gather evidence to ensure excellence in every aspect of its programs, life, and activities
(Ozar, 2012, p. 2).
