Two Catholic high schools in Saginaw and Bay City will be getting a boost from the
Diocese of Saginaw thanks to a pledge for an investment totaling $5.7 million.
Bishop Joseph Cistone announced recently that the diocese has secured $4.1 million for infrastructure enhancements at All Saints Central High School in Bay City and Nouvel Catholic Central High School in Saginaw. In addition, Cistone announced that $1.6 million has been pledged for tuition assistance and school operations.
"Catholic schools remain our strongest means of forming, developing, and educating our Catholic youth," says Cistone. "The strength of our Catholic Church is dependent upon our ability to provide quality and affordable Catholic education in a Catholic school setting. I am committed to making certain that there will be a strong Catholic school program in our diocese for generations to come."
Upgrades at Nouvel will include state-of-the-art learning spaces as well as laboratories, renovation of current classrooms and removal of the school's temporary annex building. All Saints will get new heating and ventilation systems and a multi-phase renovation and expansion.
Both projects are designed with environmentally friendly building practices and materials, and are expected to be complete when students return to school in the fall.
There are 3,400 students enrolled in 22 Catholic schools located across the 11-county Diocese of Saginaw.
