Support Our Scholars
Generous supporters like you help our students receive not only an excellent education and foundation, but a promising future as well!
Our current success is due to every student receiving access to counseling and student health services, college and career readiness programs, athletics and comprehensive course offerings delivered by a committed and highly skilled team of educators. These services require resources beyond our established funding. The lack of an equitable school funding formula in PA has a significant effect on the acceleration of student success and access to opportunity – both huge pieces to the puzzle of a quality education for a child. As we enter into a new frontier in education, we are making every effort to deliver the highest quality education despite this unjust funding scenario.
