Enhancing Catholic School Identity Program
Enhancing Catholic School Identity is a two-year program for administrators of Catholic elementary and secondary schools to enhance their ability to foster the Catholic identity of the schools. The specific intent of this program is to focus on the development of the Catholic school administrator as the spiritual leader of the school community. For more information on this program please contact Tim Dwyer at tdwyer@ncea.org
Select Programs for Improving catholic Education (SPICE)
SPICE is a program that identifies, validates, and systematically diffuses Catholic elementary and secondary programs that work, so that other schools/dioceses can replicate or adapt them. Programs may also serve as catalysts for the creation of new models. For more information please go to /services/SPICE.asp
Technology Plans
Catholic schools have an opportunity to have significant portions of their technology purchases reduced by applying for an E-Rate discount. Prior to filing an application, it is required that a school's plan be approved by a recognized approving agency. While it is preferred that a school seeks approval through a local public school district or its diocesan office, the service is available to member schools for a modest administrative fee of $25.00. Please make checks payable to NCEA/CACE Department.
Technology plans can be submitted by two methods:
