MESSAGE FROMBISHOP KEVIN FARRELL  \nDear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,  \nEvery day I hear heartwarming stories about the many achievements and worthyendeavors our young adults have experienced throughout their Catholic high schooleducation.The stories may be about a group of students-a school's class or teamor club perhaps,but more often than not,the stories tell about personal milestones ofone kind or another and of how the school shaped the outcome.  \nCatholic schools play a critical and irreplaceable role in the teaching mission ofthe Church.Today,it is more important than ever that we continue to provide anacademically rigorous education,rooted in the Gospel,and rich in the cherishedtraditions and liturgical practices of our faith.To this end,I was delighted to bringto you in September 2013 the strategic plan for our Catholic elementary schoolsin the Diocese of Dallas in a report entitled Reach for the Future:A Blueprint forExcellence.Now,after completing the study of our three Diocesan high schools一Bishop Dunne,Bishop Lynch,and John Paul I-the work of the strategic planningcommittee,A Mission of Excellence for Catholic Schools,has come to a close,and  \nwith this end-result I am very pleased to presentthe Committee's report,Our Students,OurFuture:A Roadmap for Excellence.  \nOur Students,Our Future is meant to be acompanion piece to Reach for the Future,and soI recommend that you read them in tandem.Aswith the elementary school report,you will seethat the Committee's strategic recommendationswith regard to Diocesan high schools are alsobold yet practical.They,too,are designed toensure academically excellent schools that areoperationally vibrant both now and into the future.  \nThese strategic recommendations are a productof the Committee's continuing process ofcandid assessment,thoughtful research,andextensive discussion among high school leaders,professional educators and staff,and otherindividuals and groups who have a stake in thesuccess of our Catholic schools.  \nl am extremely grateful to the Committeemembers for their time and devotionthroughout this four-year process.I plan topersonally oversee the implementation of allrecommendations to ensure that we havethe most dynamic Catholic schools possible,available to all who desire a Catholic schooleducation.  \nThe future of the Church is in the hands oftoday's youth.Our Catholic high schools offerone of the most effective and sometimes the finalopportunity for our young men and women toexperience the integral formation of the humanperson-a place where faith,culture,and lifeare brought into harmony.We pray that God willcontinue to bless their work.  \nFaithfu!ly in Christ,  \nMost Reverend Kevin J.Farrell,D.D.Bishop of DallasDecember 2014
