MB Financial Supports Catalyst!

The Catalyst Circle Rock school community was privileged to host a team from MB Financial on-campus Wednesday for their “MB on the Block” community outreach day! Fourteen volunteers from MB read with 1st Grade scholars (pictured below), as well as working on a labeling project for the CCR library! Catalyst is extremely grateful for the support of MB!

Catalyst begins the 2015-2016 School Year!

First Day of First Grade 2

Like this scholar above, nearly 1,600 Kindergarten through 12th Grade scholars began the 2015-2016 school year at Catalyst Maria and Catalyst Circle Rock on Monday!


Both campuses held assemblies and Open House events to welcome scholars and their families back to campus in preparation for making the 2015-2016 school year the best yet! 


We look forward to an incredible year in which our schools will live the Catalyst mission of "Teaching minds and touching hearts" in the Austin and Chicago Lawn communities!
