Last week, we had a wonderful time visiting The DePaul Catholic School and seeing firsthand the incredible work taking place within its classrooms and community.

It was a joy to witness the faith, dedication, and enthusiasm that make DePaul such a special place.

We are grateful for the opportunity to strengthen our partnership and look forward to continued collaboration with The DePaul Catholic School and the Independence Mission Schools network as we work together to support Catholic education and help students thrive.

Our IMS offices and schools are closed for our Independence Day break from July 1st-3rd. We hope you are enjoying the start to your summer!

🎓 396 scholars graduated this month across our 14 schools!

In the fall, they'll continue their journeys at 70 unique high schools throughout the Greater Philadelphia Area, earning more than $8.8 million in scholarships and $8.6 million in financial aid.

These incredible achievements are possible because of a community that believes in the power of a faith-filled education. As our fiscal year ends on June 30, there's still time to help the next class dream boldly and build bright futures.
