Mr. Rousey proudly accepts the education award at the formal ceremony at the White House. St. Joseph ' s High School received recognition during the summer as one of 277 schools which are models for the nation. This achievement was in- tensified as SJHS was one of only 65 private schools honored. The Council of American Public Edu- cation was put in charge of the Exem- plary Private School Recognition Pro- ject. Mr. Rousey worked with the Na- tional Catholic Educational Association to fill out all the required forms. In April, after the application made it through first cuts, two representatives were sent to SJHS. They visited class- rooms and talked to several students to find out more about the school. June 19 a telegram arrived saying, Congratulations! Your school has been chosen as exemplary by our pri- vate school recognition project. Mr. Rousey felt. It is our special programs, our Catholic missions, and our fine academic students that helped u. win the award. Several months later, Mr. Rousey journeyed to Washington D.C. to proudly receive our award. December 20, the banner and the plaque were presented to the student body. Mr. Rousey was aided in this presentation, amid cheers, by the student govern- ment and Mr. Bradley, president of the school board. ' sf ' - k CEIUNU IN vmm EDUCKnON 1984-85 ]w: 12
