Lumen Christi Catholic School has been recognized as a Catholic Education Honor Roll School by The Cardinal Newman Society.  The Society is perhaps best known for its Newman Guide for Choosing a Catholic College. The Honor Roll is a national program recognizing schools committed to strong Catholic identity. Recognized schools commit to and model the Principles of Catholic Identity in Education. 

Lumen Christi engaged in a thorough internal and external review of its comprehensive program offerings before being awarded this status.  (See our Public Application).  Our school was recognized for its strong integration of Catholic identity throughout its efforts, including the integrity of its mission, and the strength of its community and rich spiritual life. The Honor Roll also recognized the school’s efforts at integral formation of the minds, bodies, and spirits of its students as well as its comprehensive academic program which seeks to instill a Christian vision of the world and human wisdom and culture.

“The Honor Roll is a helpful tool for families and benefactors in recognizing the quality of a Catholic school,” said Patrick J. Reilly, president of The Cardinal Newman Society. “It is external validation that a school is both focused and successful in meeting the high calling of Catholic schools to serve the well-being and salvation of students and to serve the common good.” 

Dr. Denise Donohue, coordinator of the Honor Roll, stated, “We are very pleased to have Lumen Christi join in the nationally recognized ranks of excellence; this is a select group. The school has well demonstrated they are successful in meeting the key principles that guide Catholic education.”

Lumen Christi is one of the first K-12 schools on the honor roll, which historically included only high schools.  It is the only K-12 school in Indiana on the Catholic Education Honor Roll.
