Announcement

Recent statements in the press led some to conclude that public and private schools are in an adversarial relationship. As Catholics, we are proud to live in a country where public and private schools can stand shoulder to shoulder and parents can choose the best educational program for their children. Nonetheless, in coming to the defense of one of his school parents, a Catholic school administrator mistakenly presumed that Governor Gary Herbert had attacked Catholic education. In fact, the governor’s statements did not undermine private education. We regret the misunderstanding on the part of our colleague and any harm it may have caused. — Sister Catherine Kamphaus, CSC, Superintendent of Catholic Schools, Diocese of Salt Lake City
