Congratulations to Our Gallagher Scholars!

Six 5th grade St. Therese students received the prestigious Gallagher Scholarship!  The scholarships fund the remaining years at St. Therese, and then pay full tuition for four years of high school at a Catholic high school. 

Eligible students must apply for the scholarship and are chosen based on academic and leadership potential. We are very proud of these scholars and thank the Gallagher Family for its generosity and support of Catholic education. Read more about the Gallagher Scholarship.
