Had lunch at SR today. They are ecstatic. 30 kids between St. Christina, Queen of Martyrs, and Mount Greenwood School. With St. Linus and St. Cajetan’s they got over 50 kids within a two and a half mile circle target area. After that the kids are from all over the area. With the kids knowing the entrance requirements go beyond the test the families kind of self screened themselves so a preliminary look at the applicants looks like most of the will get acceptance letters this year. Out of the kids taking the makeup test tomorrow nine are known qualities and will get in. Football coaches not at the luncheon but the admissions guy says that this is the largest group (physical size) of kids to test there since he has been at the school. And alumni donations are up 30%.
But like everyone else let’s see how many checks come in for the first tuition payment.
I’m happy to see almost all of schools are doing well. Two - three years ago the economy was stagnant and after the market of 2008 I was worried about Catholic League Schools. Things are looking brighter now.
