Current students enrolled in Catholic schools could very well be the last generation of students who will carry backpacks to class. Smartphones, tablets, interactive whiteboards, applications, blogs, flips and tweets are becoming integrated into our lives. 

Catholic schools continue to welcome and encourage a blended learning environment where our students learn from their teachers and peers while also learning from new sources made available through technology. It is with that in mind that we have chosen our theme and logo for all schools for the 2013-2014 school year:

The Catholic schools in the Diocese of Evansville are preparing today’s students for tomorrow’s world by offering a curriculum and instruction for 21st century learning that includes integration of the religious, spiritual, moral and ethical dimensions of learning in all subjects. While technology is fueling our future, Catholic schools will never lose site of the Church’s teaching mission that invites young people to a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

I am excited to challenge our schools and see how the communities will blend the technology available today to the classroom and to the mission of the Church.

The Memorial High Schools students in Laura Ackerman’s Digital Design class were responsible for the design of the logo. The students who created the design are Madeline Kramer, who is a senior, and juniors Ben Halter and Evan Millsaps.
