Latinos have been the principal driver of demographic growth in the United States, accounting for half of the national population growth since 2000, with Latino Catholics representing 71 percent of the country’s Catholic growth. It is imperative that our Catholic schools provide a home this growing population, and the Latino Enrollment Institute [ace.nd.edu] (LEI) at the University of Notre Dame (June 21-24, 2020) has proven to help Catholic schools across the country greatly increase Latino enrollment by an average of 30% within one year of participation in the program.

The LEI application is open until January 31st. I invite school leaders to complete the application.
