Catalyst Maria High School Olympians won two gold medals, a silver medal and a bronze medal at today's Special Olympics at Eckersall Stadium!! Congratulations to CM scholars, Ms. McCarthy, and their teachers/coaches!
This week is national Teacher Appreciation Week! We are so grateful for all Catalyst staff (who are all teachers in some way!) and the impact they make on hundreds of lives every day at Catalyst Howland, Catalyst Circle Rock and Catalyst Maria!
Of the 1,700 students who applied for Chicago Scholars across Chicago (with the mandated 3.0/18 on the PLAN/ACT to apply), Catalyst Maria had TWELEVE scholars accepted into the program (only 100 were selected city-wide!)! This is as close as it gets to being guaranteed a full-ride scholarship- AMAZING work scholars (pictured below)!
Catalyst partner Maria Kaupus Center and Catalyst-Maria were honored to host Justice Jesse Ruiz and Alderman-elect David Moore on campus. The visit highlighted the partnership between the two organizations and the great things happening at MKC! Check out an image from the visit below, which links to the MKC website!
