The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) has awarded Sister Elizabeth Anne Swartz, Superintendent of the El Paso Catholic Schools, with its “2016 Lead. Learn. Proclaim. Award,” which highlights the outstanding work of Catholic school educators in communities across the country. Sr. Elizabeth is one of three superintendents to receive the national award this year. Catholic school leaders, teachers, principals and presidents, pastors, diocesan superintendents, school boards and home school associations are among the cast of exceptional awardees entrusted with the faith formation in our communities of Catholic school education.
The other two superintendents awarded represented the Diocese of Orange County and the Diocese of Grand Rapids.
“NCEA commends the outstanding efforts, contributions and achievements of these exceptional leaders in Catholic education,” said Dr. Thomas W. Burnford, NCEA interim president. “These leaders are recognized as ambassadors of faith formation and academic excellence and serve as inspiration for all of us working in Catholic education.”
