Congratulations to Kennedy Larson, one of our rising juniors, on her outstanding achievement! Representing Miss Teen Grundy County, Kennedy advanced to the semifinals of the Miss Teen Illinois competition. Next, she will take the stage as Miss Teen Illinois International at the end of July with the platform "Real Voices, Real Friendships," as she wants to create a space where people feel comfortable speaking up and creating meaningful face-to-face connections.

Kennedy has been mentored by Lisa (O'Brien) Dean (SFA '87) who has built a successful consulting firm dedicated to empowering young girls and women to grow in confidence, leadership, and character while becoming the best version of themselves.

We are proud of Kennedy's accomplishments and look forward to cheering her on as she represents Illinois this summer!

Join us as we continue building on the momentum of this year’s successful Annual Appeal, supporting school operations and tuition assistance for JCA students. At Joliet Catholic Academy, we are committed to providing an affordable and accessible Catholic college preparatory education to every student who seeks it. Because tuition covers only a portion of the actual cost of education, and generous financial aid is provided to families with demonstrated need, JCA depends on the support of our alumni, parents, friends, and benefactors to help bridge the gap.

Every gift to our Angels and Hilltoppers is an investment in the future of the Church and the world; a meaningful expression of hope in our students and their ability to make a lasting impact.

This year’s of Online Giving is focused on one thing: participation at every level. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the JCA community, this year’s Annual Appeal has already raised more than $400,000 from 483 donors representing 79 graduating classes. Now, we’re challenging alumni classes to double their participation and make an even greater impact.

Our goal is simple: increase class participation. No gift is too small — every donation strengthens the Angel and Hilltopper tradition and demonstrates the power of our community united in support of JCA’s mission.
Your generosity helps provide opportunities for current and future students to excel in academics, athletics, faith, and service.

We’ll be sharing updates on donor matches, alumni class challenges, and additional ways to participate in the coming weeks as we unite on June 9 to make a lasting impact for Joliet Catholic Academy.
Interested in serving as a class captain, organizing a donor match, or helping increase participation for your graduating class? Contact JCA Director of Institutional Advancement Ryan Quigley ’03 at [email protected] or 815-741-0563.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to Joliet Catholic Academy. Together, we can make an even greater difference!

Come join the Joliet Catholic Academy Family!
