Our 8th-grade students are taking March Madness to the next level!
As part of a cross-curricular project, they are researching Catholic universities competing in the NCAA Basketball tournament and discovering what makes each one unique. Students are diving into:
Campus locations (and how far they are from Elk County!)
Available religious and theology-based degree programs
School mascots and traditions
Campus Ministry opportunities
Mass times and faith life on campus
Each university’s mission and values
This engaging project is helping our students see how faith and education come together beyond high school—while still having a little tournament fun along the way!
Elk County Catholic School System, an educational ministry of the Diocese of Erie, rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is committed to the highest standards of academic excellence. With God as our constant source of inspiration, our mission is to develop the whole student in mind, body, spirit, while nurturing the values of knowledge, peace, and holiness.
