Catholic high schools in the United States have been undergoing
three major changes: the shift to primarily lay leadership and
teachers; the transition to a more consumerist and pluralist
culture; and the increasing diversity of students attending
Catholic high schools. James Heft argues that to navigate these
changes successfully, leaders of Catholic education need to inform
lay teachers more thoroughly, conduct a more profound social
analysis of the culture, and address the real needs of students.
After presenting the history of Catholic schools in the United
States and describing the major legal decisions that have
influenced their evolution, Heft describes the distinctive and
compelling mission of a Catholic high school. Two chapters are
devoted to leadership, and other chapters to teachers, students,
alternative models of high schools, financing, and the key role of
parents, who today may be described as ''post-deferential'' to
traditional authorities, including bishops and priests.
Written by an award-winning teacher, scholar, and recognized
educational leader in Catholic education, Catholic High Schools
should be read by everyone interested in religiously- affiliated
educational institutions, particularly Catholic education.
