The Middle States Associatio­n Commission­s on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA-CESS) has recognized Mother Teresa Regional Catholic School in King of Prussia for its Programs of Distinctio­n in STEM, Science, Technology, Engineerin­g and Mathematic­s.

“Programs of Distinctio­n are meant to be models for other academic programs throughout the world, and that is certainly true of the STEM programs at Mother Teresa and Our Lady of Mercy,” said Henry G.
