St. John the Evangelist Church – Huntsville issued the following announcement on Oct. 9.
Catholic school enrollment rebounded after a dip for the 2020-21 school year.
For the first time in the past nine years, Catholic school enrollment throughout the state increased, with 177 more students enrolled for the 2021-22 school year, totaling 6,320.
The Catholic Schools Office instituted a mandatory mask mandate for elementary schools, given that those 11 and younger are not yet eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. Other safety guidelines, including increased sanitation practices and social distancing, also have been followed since the pandemic began. Though not required by the diocese to mandate masks, all Catholic high schools required masks at the beginning of the school year.
