The Class of 1972 Memorial Scholarship Fund

Central Catholic High School, Presentation of Mary Academy, & Saint Mary High School

Established in memory of deceased classmates by members of the Class of 1972, this fund provides tuition assistance to student(s) of Central Catholic who demonstrate financial need and academic promise as determined by the Administrator.

Once fully endowed at $25,000, the Class of 1972 Memorial Scholarship Fund will forever honor and remember the deceased members of our class.

May perpetual light shine upon our deceased 1972 Central Catholic, St. Mary, and Presentation of Mary classmates, whose names appear below. This Scholarship will make it possible for a deserving young boy or girl to attend Central Catholic.

Judy (Cox '72SM) Marley and husband, Steve, kicked-off the fund with a start-up gift.

A heartfelt thank you to rising senior Grace '23 (pictured), who shared her experiences at Central Catholic during the Golden Diploma Luncheon. The Class Scholarship Fund will make it possible for students like Grace to attend CCHS.
