This year’s "Celebrate the Academy" gala, themed A World of Opportunity, celebrates our award-winning school. As the only all-girls Catholic high school in the city of Cleveland, Saint Joseph Academy currently serves 685 young women and provided more than $2.4 million in tuition assistance for the 2020-2021 school year. The Academy empowers students to challenge themselves with rigorous curriculum and offers endless opportunities, including the Health Sciences Honors Program, Engineering & Design Honors Program, Global Scholars Program, a Makerspace innovation lab and more!

This special event will honor these esteemed women who made a lasting impact on Saint Joseph Academy: Patricia A. Gaul ’76 - 2022 Distinguished Alumna Award Honoree and Tari S. Rivera - 2022 Medaille Shield Award Honoree.

Our annual “Celebrate the Academy” gala represents a world of opportunity to showcase your support of Catholic education to a broad and engaged community. In 2021, through the generous support of our underwriters and sponsors, hundreds of virtual attendees and volunteers, we raised more than $237,000 in net revenue for the 75% of our students who rely on tuition assistance in order to attend Saint Joseph Academy.
