Thanks to your generosity, we are one step closer to establishing a Christ-centered, classical high school in Warrenton, offering parents a meaningful alternative grounded in Catholic tradition. Through your kindness, we can:<ul><li style="box-sizing:inherit">Secure a dedicated facility for classrooms, labs, and fine arts programs.</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">Attract exceptional educators who inspire and form young hearts and minds.</li><li style="box-sizing:inherit">Create a scholarship fund to ensure affordability for families who desire a Catholic education.</li></ul>As G.K.

Thank you for your prayerful support and for sharing in this mission. Together, we are building a brighter future, one rooted in Christ and the teachings of His Church.
