High School Program

The success of CISE extends beyond our eight elementary schools. Currently over 200 CISE elementary school graduates are attending a Catholic high school with help from a CISE grant.

Through a donor-directed high school grant program, which was established in 2000, CISE graduates receive assistance to continue their education at a Catholic high school in their area. Support for this program has increased from $75,000 in 2001 to over $800,000 in 2010. In 2010 over 200 students received high school tuition grants.

We are proud to report that 88% of our senior grant recipients go on to college or post high school education. Our students are now leading local businesses and serving our community in a variety of  professions. We are so proud of their accomplishments.
