Catholic Schools Week 2023

Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.

Vote for your favorite Catholic school in Spirit Radio's Superstar Contest!

Who’s ready for Catholic Schools Week? We are! For 11 years, Spirit Catholic Radio has been shining a spotlight on Catholic high schools and elementary schools in our listening area with our Superstar Contest. Vote for your favorite, or local, Catholic Schools! Get your communities talking about the importance of Catholic education by encouraging others in your community to vote! The Superstar Contest encourages them to see what a catholic education has to offer. It's a wonderful chance for students to shine and for teachers and administrators to be thanked by their community for their dedication and passion (and win some pretty awesome prizes as well)! Again this year, voting will be open for TWO weeks, kicking off during Catholic School Week: January 30–February 10. Our voting competition begins January 30 and lasts through February 10. VOTE HERE!! On February 13, we will announce our 10 winners of the Superstar Catholic Schools Contest for 2023!
