A very generous donor has enabled several students to attend JCHS the past few years. Below is a direct quote from a student who wrote this thank you note to the donor...

Holy Cross Catholic Church in Vero Beach was a generous donor to the Annual Giving Campaign. The church has several students who proudly attend JCHS.

"Ever since I was little, my parents and I have prayed for me to be able to go to John Carroll Catholic High School. We have had financial problems, and my grandma has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.

When we heard that an anonymous donation was given to John Carroll and that they would like me to attend and go on scholarship, I was extremely happy. Now that I will be attending John Carroll, I will get a great education and will be learning about my faith, too.

While attending John Carroll I want to play softball and lacrosse and join the drama club. When I am older, I would like to pursue a career in cardiology and become a doctor. Going to this school will get me one step closer to my dreams.

Thank you and God bless"

This exact verbiage was taken from a thank you note from a mother of two boys, one of whom attends JCHS. His attendance was made possible due to the generosity of an Annual Giving Campaign donor who developed a personalized scholarship.

"Dear Benefactor,

We would like to take this opportunity to express to you our appreciation for what you have done for our son. Your most generous donation to his education at John Carroll High School is appreciated more than mere words can convey.

...By the continued work of John Carroll and its benefactors we were afforded the opportunity to teach our boys not to give up and always do their best, and they will be blessed.

...Through all the trials facing the world today, it restores my faith that there are people out there willing to help others. I pray for God's richest blessings upon you and your family. I just wanted to tell you once more how thankful we are for your support of our son..."

"The four years that our daughter Katherine was at John Carroll Catholic High School were tremendous. John Carroll offers a strong academic opportunity for its students, and Katherine had the opportunity to participate in sports and extracurricular activities that she might not have had at a much larger school. But certainly the major interest for us was the fact that John Carroll not only provided a good faith enriching experience but very much lived that experience.

The administration and the faculty demonstrated in their actions and their efforts their faith in Jesus Christ. We experienced this recognition of the importance of living and imparting our faith in the classroom, in athletics and in other activities. There was a genuine interest in Katherine not just as a student but as a child of God, even with the normal struggles of a teenager.

Our four years with Katherine at John Carroll went by very quickly. We encourage every parent to enjoy and experience with their student each opportunity at John Carroll. We remain equally excited about the continued improvement the school plans and its desire to continue to provide a quality, faith-filled education and experience".
