The 9th Annual ACCESS Academies Scholarship Dinner provides high school tuition dollars for middle school graduates from Most Holy Trinity School & Academy, St.… Cecilia School & Academy, and St. Louis the King School at the Cathedral, and for juniors and seniors attending private, college-prep high schools from De La Salle Middle School, Loyola Academy, and Marian Middle School.
Donations raised during the dinner will also support the new ACCESS Academy at St. Louis Catholic Academy (opening for the 2017-18 school year) and lay the groundwork for a new ACCESS Academy at Sister Thea Bowman Catholic School in East St. Louis!
