Senate Resolution No. recognizes January 26 to February 1, 2025, as Catholic Schools Week in Michigan. The resolution highlights the significant role of Catholic schools in the state, noting that they serve over 51,000 students across 214 institutions. It emphasizes the financial contributions of Catholic school parents, who pay tuition while also supporting public schools through taxes, and points out that Catholic schools save taxpayers more than $494 million in state spending. The resolution underscores the importance of Catholic schools in providing a values-based education, fostering responsible citizenship, and serving a diverse student population, including those who are economically disadvantaged.

The resolution also acknowledges the high academic standards and community service commitment of Catholic schools, which contribute positively to society. It aligns with the theme "Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community," as designated by the National Catholic Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Senate expresses its support for the continued dedication of Catholic schools to academic excellence and their vital role in shaping a brighter future for students. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the Michigan Catholic Conference to convey the Senate's esteem for Catholic education.
