           Three Catholic school principals were among the 65 elementary and middle school principals named National Distinguished Principals by the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) and the U.S. Department of Education.
         The principals were honored during a dinner at a Georgetown restaurant in October.  The National Distinguished Principals program began in 1984 to recognize public and private school principals who make superior contributions to their schools and communities.
