CEA has helped my boys attend and receive a Catholic education. Without the support of CEA scholarships my boys would have attended public school. I was skeptical from the beginning on sending the boys to a Catholic school, why? because I did not believe it was possible or affordable to send four boys to Catholic Schools. After meeting with the principal, she explained how it was possible and affordable! State tax credit scholarships has helped not only my boys, but many other children that deserve the ability to receive a quality education. I have four boys that graduated from St. John Vianney Catholic School in Goodyear, and went on to Bourgade Catholic High School, which three have graduated and went on to Universities and College. I have one more attending Bourgade, a senior. So without your support my boys would not have had the opportunity to receive the morals and values that a Catholic education would give.

For Student/s: What does the opportunity to receive a Catholic education mean to you?

It gives me the opportunity to develop my morals in a great atmosphere, while also receiving a great education from a preparatory grade/high school. Catholic education goes above and beyond the religion of Catholicism. It instills in us the ethics to succeed, while also providing an environment that motivates us to go above and beyond for our family. Rather it teaches us to apply our knowledge and education for the greater good of society. This opportunity has allowed my brothers and I to succeed so far today.

For the Entire Family: How would you thank those that have helped make your education possible through their state tax dollars and encourage them to continue to support Catholic education Arizona? 

MANY THANKS TO YOU ALL! Your state tax dollars gave my boys the chance to receive a quality Catholic education, which public schools have denied the presence of Jesus Christ, and the morals and values it delivers. You gave my boys hope to be the best of who they can be. My oldest boy is Luke Dreher who graduated from U of A with a Bachelor of Science and will be attending Boston University Medical School, my second boy is Isaac Dreher he is attending Estrella Mountain Community College, but in the fall will be attending ASU in the Art/Graphing program, my third is Joshua Dreher he will be attending U of A in the fall, the degree he is pursuing is a Bachelors in Physiology and Medical Science, pre-med, and my youngest (fourth) is Noah Dreher he is a senior at Bourgade Catholic School, he wants to attend a University or join the Marines. As you can see, your state tax credits gave the boys tremendous opportunities to achieve their goals with the fire of our Lord! Again THANK YOU!
