GSE Celebrates Leaders in Catholic Education

The Graduate School of Education honored Catholic school leaders throughout New York City on May 15th at its 18th Annual Catholic School Executive Leadership Dinner. Both city and state representatives gathered at the Lincoln Center campus for the event, which was sponsored by GSE’s Center for Catholic School Leadership and Faith-Based Education.

“Catholic schools are the models of successful schools,” said James J. Hennessy, Ph.D., dean of GSE. “Catholic schools set the standards for what good schools look like, how good schools run, and what good schools can accomplish… [This event] is to celebrate Catholic schools and the leaders who make them such great schools.”
