CONGRATULATIONS TO MS. RACHEL GEMO, RECIPIENT OF THE NCEA 2020 LEAD. LEARN. PROCLAIM AWARD! The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) annually recognizes leadership and excellence in Catholic education through its Lead. Learn. Proclaim. Award. Our very own Ms. Gemo received it this year for her dedication, support and commitment to excellence in Catholic education. Ms. Gemo was selected from more than 150,000 teachers and administrators, as well as diocesan leaders and organizations dedicated to the nation’s Catholic schools. The LLP Award honors those whose ministry is Catholic school education and who have demonstrated a strong Catholic educational philosophy as well as exceptional efforts, devotion and achievements. “Just as the Catholic Church is the people and not the buildings, so are Catholic schools not just buildings, but communities of educators and students bound by faith,” said Kathy Mears, NCEA Interim President/CEO. “The LLP Award is to recognize those individuals and organizations whose dedication, faith, knowledge and skills fulfill the mission of Catholic education.” Today, thanks to Ms. Gemo’s leadership with the support of committed educators and staff, school families, parishioners, and alumni, St. Benedict continues to be a vibrant, inclusive Catholic school where students receive a personalized Catholic education to develop their God-given gifts.
