Catalyst Maria has been awarded a national Leader in Me grant to support the school's journey to become a Lighthouse school! This grant will support the Leader in Me program which honors and develops scholar, staff and school community leaders!
This achievement was the result of the efforts of the entire school community to embed the "Leader and Me" principles into their daily habits.
Catalyst Maria adds this accomplishment to receiving AdvancED accreditation and joining the Schools That Can national network in 2015! Congratulations to the Catalyst Maria team!
