Abstract: Catholic schools have a long and rich history, rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. In the 21st century, they continue to provide quality education while upholding their distinctive Catholic identity. One defining characteristic of Catholic schools is stewardship, which involves responsible management of resources, fostering the development of students, and commitment to the common good. This theological paper explores stewardship as a crucial component of Catholic school identity in the 21st century. It examines the historical development of Catholic schools, the biblical and magisterial foundations of stewardship, and the challenges and opportunities posed by technological advancements, cultural shifts, environmental issues, and financial sustainability. The paper advocates for a comprehensive approach to address these challenges, incorporating technology, promoting environmental education, ensuring economic sustainability, fostering cultural competence, and forging community partnerships.
