Tampa
Catholic Scholarship Winner
We
are very proud to announce that yet another MHR 8th grader has
won a scholarship to Tampa Catholic for her high score on the
entrance exam. Francesca B. earned this honor. MHR has
consistently had scholarship winners to Tampa Catholic, Bishop
McLaughlin, or the Academy of the Holy Names ever since 1999
when we began tracking.
There have been many others earning scholarships prior to
1999. |
