Introduction
Welcome to the newest issue of the Journal of Catholic Education. In this issue we include a set of top notch open submission essays, as well as a Focus Section, organized by Dr. Quentin Wodon, on the "value add" of Catholic schools, beyond academic achievement and faith formation. We Editors hope you are edified by this research, and encourage submission of your own research in the future.Last but far from least, we would like to acknowledge the outstanding work of our entire copy editing team, led by Kate Kennedy, and particularly Elaina DiCorpo who made extensive and essential contributions to the final production of this issue. Many thanks to all of you!
