The good news here is that the honor roller seems to be approaching 8th grade now. Only a year or two more of complaints about St. Mary’s before she switches to complaining about Bishop Ireton!

I heard the give sportsball NIL deals now.

Is this the same St. Mary's that doesn't publish the honor role?

And nit everything needs to be published. The HSs don’t publish everything either.

My DC are older but there were a number of academic and service awards. Most did not have $ but I believe the highest GPA (or equivalent) came with one. That one or another may have been a KOC award.

My kids went to St. Ann and one got the athletic award. The other got drama. The teachers decided, but they didn't offer $$. There was a modest monetary award for students who did a lot of service. It was donated by a member of the parish in memory of her husband.

I love the PTO donation idea for diocesan schools!

We’re at a different parish school, but our PTO gives out two $1000 awards to eighth graders attending diocesan schools, chosen based on essays that they submit for review by a PTO committee.

It’s not a huge scholarship, given the tuition, but I think it’s a nice gesture.

If you make the honor roll, you are given a tuition reimbursement for all years you went to St. Mary’s. But, since they don’t publish the honor roll, you’ll never know.

Where did you hear this?

Why would a school give scholarships to students who are graduating? I would think that money would be given to current students.

I'm only familiar with the Diocesan High School awards that are usually based on HSPT scores. The individual high schools will have them outlined on their admissions pages of the website.
