Under the theme “I Love My Catholic School,” students were invited to share why they love their Catholic school and/or how Catholic education has impacted their lives in the most creative way they can through an artistic project. Projects ranged from essays, poems and art pieces, to videos and photos.
Congratulations to the 2020 Winners!

Thank you to all the students who participated in this year's scholarship contest.
We received over 200 entries, and the committee was truly overwhelmed by the gifts and talents of all our students.
Stay tuned for other scholarship opportunities to come.
Our Catholic schools form a faith community that invites its members to pray and to worship. They are also places of evangelization where the Gospel message is proclaimed. Additionally, our schools provide opportunities for members to transform the world through justice and service.
