Thursday, May 28, 2020 A celebration to benefit Mission Grammar School

Letter from the Principal Dear Friends of Mission Grammar, I am so happy that you are joining us for our Road to College Virtual Gala! We are celebrating the future of Mission Grammar -- committed to its mission of unity in diversity, excellence in education. Since 1889, we have developed the whole student: the hearts, minds, and souls in the Catholic tradition! Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Mission Grammar School is an urban, college prep Catholic School dedicated to reaching individual excellence in a faith-based community rooted in Gospel values. As you may have heard, we are celebrating 131 Years! As we look forward to the 2020-2021 school year, we can’t wait to expand our school, complete construction projects, and welcome new families to Mission Grammar School. As we continue to grow our mission, I hope that you can continue to be part of our story to enrich the lives of our scholars who are on the road to college!

With sincere gratitude,
