CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL HONOR ROLL
Gateway Academy has been selected to the Catholic High School Honor Roll (www.chshonor.org) for four consecutive years.  The Catholic High School Honor Roll is offered by the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty to recognize the top 50 Catholic High Schools in the nation. Through this award the Acton Institute honors Catholic high schools that excel in areas of academics, Catholic identity, and civic education. In their words, this award “honors schools that both embrace a vibrant Catholic identity and instill an appreciation of the social, political, and economic dimensions of the world that students will have to engage.”

The reception of this award for the fourth year is a testament to the teachers and staff of Gateway Academy and its family community. We are justly proud of this accomplishment and look forward to continuing and furthering our tradition of excellence.


NATIONAL MERIT® SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The National Merit® Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in 1955. High school students enter the National Merit Program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT®)–a test which serves as an initial screen of approximately 1.4 million entrants each year–and by meeting published program entry/participation requirements. Gateway Academy has 3 national merit scholars in their academic history.

ARCHBISHOP JOHN L. MAY AWARD   
(Information received from www.stlmissions.org)
The Archbishop John L. May Service Awards are presented each year to one senior from each of the 29 Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis.  The awards, named after the late Archbishop May and recognizing his dedication to service, honor the students’ outstanding commitment to serving others.  The awards were founded in 1994 by Monsignor Ted Wojcicki, the former Associate Superintendent of Secondary Education for the Catholic Education Office, and current President of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary.  "I have great admiration for the young people in our schools who imitate the selfless life of Jesus in this spirit of service,” Monsignor Wojcicki said.  “I applaud our students for learning at a young age that 'it is in giving that we receive'.  These young people who are so generous with their time and talents strengthen my hope in the future." Recipients of the Archbishop May Service Awards consider service a part of their everyday lives.  Many students are involved in their school, parish, and community, dedicating countless hours to serving others and giving back.
