75th Anniversary Celebration
In 1951, sixty children began school in a converted farmhouse. Seventy-five years later, their school stands on Gower Street — a historically African-American Catholic school that has formed generations in faith, wisdom, and joy.
This school year we celebrate: a Mass of Thanksgiving, a community celebration in the gym, the stories of the early years told again, and a 75th Anniversary Scholarship Campaign to carry the school into its next chapter.
