During Special Person's Day last November, Mayor Joe Hogsett of Indianapolis, the special guest of a very special student, presented a framed declaration proclaiming the day Saint Joan of Arc Catholic School Day! We were elated to learn the news and read the special proclamation that was personalized to the very mission of our parish school.

It reads, "WHEREAS, a vibrant thread in the rich tapestry of Indianapolis since 1922, St. Joan of Arc Catholic School has provided an excellent education to generations of Hoosiers; and

WHEREAS, St. Joan of Arc Catholic School has helped educate future leaders of our city by equipping students with a classic liberal arts and sciences education and affirming the dignity of all; and

WHEREAS, committed to academic excellence, St. Joan of Arc Catholic School fosters the intellectual development of faculty and students, welcoming and supporting a diverse cultural and economic population; and

WHEREAS, today, we recognize St. Joan of Arc Catholic School for their many years of service to the Indianapolis community;
