ARCHDIOCESE OF MOBILE COVID-19 ANNOUNCEMENTS PAGE  
All official announcements about the Coronavirus (whether school or parish related) will appear on the Archdiocesan website below:
Stay informed by checking this site and your Montgomery Catholic family email account frequently for current information and news.
Update: All Campuses Closed Through April 19
We will continue to provide distance learning although our school buildings will remain closed through at least Sunday, April 19. Any consideration of reopening the Catholic schools will depend upon advice of civil authorities.

We are appreciative of the patience and cooperation of all of our families and students, and we are proud of the hard work our teachers have put in to facilitate distance learning. Please be sure to check your Montgomery Catholic Family Email account, PowerSchool, and Planbook often for assignments and announcements from your students' teachers and updates from administrators.

Teachers are available to respond to you or your child’s inquiries Monday through Friday from 8 AM until 3 PM.

Administrators, Central Office Staff, and members of the Business Office are keeping a somewhat normal schedule; however, offices will not be open to the public. You can reach us by phone or email, and we will get to you as quickly as possible. Please call ahead if you need to drop something off at one of our campuses.

Academics+ Opportunity Scholarship Fund
Opening the doors to Catholic Education begins with you!

On January 1, 2020, Academics+ became the official Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) for the Archdiocese of Mobile Catholic schools. Named to reflect that our schools offer education plus faith, this new SGO strives to open the door to Catholic education for families who reside in failing school districts and for those whose family income falls within state determined guidelines.

Academics+ is a parent-driven model. Parents complete an online application and mail in supporting documents to apply. Scholarships are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis with priority given to students zoned to attend a “failing” public school.

Academics+ is leading the way statewide to provide low-income children the educational opportunities to be successful and to have a productive future. If you pay personal or business income taxes to the State of Alabama, you can donate up to 50% of your income tax liability to fund scholarships for children who wish to attend a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Mobile

If you are a new family interested in applying for Academics+, please
click here to complete the interest form  to be notified via email regarding the new applicant opening.

Learn more about Academics+ at  www.APOSF.org  or talk to your professional tax advisor about how your tax dollars can open the door to a Catholic Education.
