Last week, we had a wonderful time visiting The DePaul Catholic School and seeing firsthand the incredible work taking place within its classrooms and community.

It was a joy to witness the faith, dedication, and enthusiasm that make DePaul such a special place.

We are grateful for the opportunity to strengthen our partnership and look forward to continued collaboration with The DePaul Catholic School and the Independence Mission Schools network as we work together to support Catholic education and help students thrive.
