If you have questions prior to Friday afternoon when corrective work will begin, please call Catalyst Circle Rock (773) 945-5025 or Catalyst Maria at (773) 993-1770. We apologize for issues this may cause and thank you for your partnership.
We are extremely proud of Catalyst Maria scholar Isa M., who was one of four recipients of the Outstanding Illinois Charter School Senior Award!
Isa is an incredible member of the Catalyst Maria community, and embodies the INCS award's criteria of "demonstrating outstanding academic achievement, commitment to their community, and strong leadership qualities in their school and extracurricular activities. They embody the mission of their charter school and work hard toward achieving their dream of graduating from college and being successful in a career and beyond."
Isa will be awarded a significant college scholarship and will be honored at the INCS Charter Conference on October 26, 2015!
Congratulations Isa on your award and thank you exemplifying the Catalyst mission of "Teaching minds and touching hearts"!
