Letter from the President
Dear Alumna,
Catholic High kicked off the month of November with an extremely successful Gala! I thank everyone who sponsored the event, donated, and attended, to make the night one to remember. Catholic High's great success continued on National #GivingTuesday. Thanks to your generous donations, we raised over $7,000 to purchase new instruments and equipment for our Visual and Performing Arts students!
Earlier today, I also had the great pleasure of announcing that Catholic High has been voted Best Private High School for Girls for the second consecutive year by Baltimore Style Magazine! I encourage you to share the good news to your social circles about our amazing school!
Lux Tua Luceat,
