Educators,

We are excited with the change in format for Teacher Excellence Day. Our Catholic School educators will all gather at one of two sites, Bishop Blanchet High School in north Seattle and Bellarmine Preparatory School in Tacoma.

We have confirmed Brother Robert Bimonte, new Executive Director of NCEA as our keynote speaker; he will present at both sites. Father Rowan will also celebrate Mass with both communities. Our theme for this year is Strengthening Our Mission.
