Roman was the only Archdiocesan school to have a Rabbi on the faculty teaching an elective course.

Why does Customers Bank make it a priority to give back and give back to education? Customers Bank makes it a priority to give back and to invest in education across the communities we serve, because we believe that education is essential in helping children and youth grow. Our investment helps enrich their lives and prepares them for a successful future. Why do you and Customers Bank choose to support Roman? Roman Catholic High School’s curriculum emphasizes leaderships, academics, and sports. It teaches discipline and values, such as diversity and integrity, important in helping many low-income students thrive. What are the benefits of participating in the EITC/OSTC tax credit program? The Pennsylvania EITC/OSTC program provides an incredible opportunity for schools and corporations to partner in helping create a stronger workforce through support for education. Editor’s Note: Roman Catholic is grateful for the partnership with Customers Bank and for advocates like Varsovia Fernandez who work to ensure that their firms give back. With Customers Bank’s participation in the EITC/OSTC program, young men are receiving a Roman education that otherwise could not afford it.
