GALA ON GRAND
Join us for an unforgettable evening to celebrate education, opportunity, and the future of our community at our 2025 Gala on Grand on Saturday, April 12th.
St. Mary’s South Side Catholic is more than a school—it’s a beacon of hope in an under-invested community, where education is the key to economic justice and a brighter future. We are committed to addressing the root causes of poverty by providing exceptional college-prep education, developing trade skills, and collaborating with partners who share our vision of a more equitable society.
On the South Side, many families face systemic challenges, but we believe that education can break down these barriers. Our students don’t just learn; they are empowered to lead, to build their futures, and to transform their communities.
THE BEST STUDENT IS NOT ONLY SOMOENE WHO MAY BE POOR, HUNGRY, AND DETERMINED IN ATTITUDE, BUT ALSO SOMEONE WHO IS INTELLECTUALLY HONEST AND APPRECIATES THE CAPACITY TO LEARN MORE... THESE ARE THE YOUNG MEN AT THE NEW ST. MARY'S SOUTH SIDE CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL.
