Rising Stars of Central Catholic High School
October 7th, 2022
Recently we got the opportunity to talk with many of our CSF Scholars from Central Catholic High School! Many of them had incredible things to say about how receiving a Catholic Education has helped changed their lives for the better. You can read more about how YOU helped make these wonderful changes a reality!
"A Catholic Education has changed my community because I am surrounded by many different people who are all united and one. I have the opportunity to learn about the Catholic religion and become a part of it. My community has become more widespread, diverse, and welcoming. I no longer have felt alone since I’ve started receiving a Catholic Education because the support is great. There are always people willing to help and be there for you." - Rachel A.
"The Catholic Schools Foundation has shaped my future in a way I could never have imagined. To my family and I, education is one of the most important parts of our success. CSF has made it possible for me to attend one of the best schools in the state. I believe that the effect Central Catholic will have on me as a student and as a person will lead to a successful career and adulthood and for this I am eternally grateful." - Melaney D.
"This school is going to change my life forever. It’s going to take my education to higher levels. It will help me with choosing my college and getting into any one I want. This scholarship means so much to my family and I. It helps us with our tuition immensely and for that I thank you." - Delaney R.
