ARCHDIOCESE OF DENVER
Catholic Schools
Proverbs tells us, “Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it” (Prov. 22:6). The formative years of elementary and secondary education offers parents the best opportunity to prepare their children to answer the universal call of holiness. What better way to do this than through Catholic education. The 36 schools of the Archdiocese of Denver seek to provide rigorous academics, engaging extracurriculars, and a Catholic environment to bring students into a relationship with Jesus Christ. We form intentional disciples, young men and women who are prepared to be saints and leaders in our communities.
“The task of a teacher is not simply to impart information or to provide training in skills intended to deliver some economic benefit to society; education is not and must never be considered as purely utilitarian. It is about forming the human person, equipping him or her to live life to the full, in short it is about imparting wisdom. And true wisdom is inseparable from knowledge of the Creator, for “both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts (Wis 7:16).” - Pope Benedict 16th
In our 35 Catholic schools, we are blessed with so many teachers live by this! And today we get to honor one of them. Mercedes Baeverstad, a kindergarten teacher at St. John the Baptist Catholic School in Longmont, recently received the Excellence in Teaching History Award.
Only 13 teachers from across all of our 35 Catholic schools were honored with an "Excellence in Teaching History" or "Excellence in Planning History" award for showing excellence in planning or teaching our new archdiocesan history curriculum. These teachers were surprised by members of the Archdiocese of Denver Office of Catholic Schools, given special certiciates and received cash prizes for their work through a special grant from the Considine Foundation.
Please help us in honoring and praying for these outstanding educators, as well as ALL of the teachers in our schools! They teach in our schools out of a deep love of God and a desire to make disciples of their students. We so appreciate all of their hard work. 👏🙏 Congrats, Mercedes! ... See MoreSee Less
