Bishop Noll welcomes largest freshman class since 2001

HAMMOND | Bishop Noll Institute is welcoming its largest incoming freshman class since 2001.

The freshman class numbers 158, making enrollment for the 2012-13 school year at capacity.

Principal Colleen McCoy-Cejka attributes that to several factors.

With the help of the state's Choice Scholarship Program, more families are now able to choose Noll.

There have also been changes at Noll over the last three years — the addition of college credit courses, a scheduled overhaul, improved academic programs and upgraded facilities.

Noll also has 35 clubs, sports and activities for students to join.
