St. James Regional proudly shares that we have 5 students who qualified for consideration for the prestigious Neumann Scholarship, which is a 4-year, full tuition scholarship to the Archdiocesan high school of the scholar's choice! John, Steven, Sophia, Mina, and Gabe are among the very highest achieving and academically talented students in Delaware County. We are so proud to call them Bulldogs! The Neumann Scholarship is sponsored by the Connelly Foundation and named after St. John Neumann, fourth bishop of Philadelphia and founder of our parochial school system. Since 1995, the top students from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia's 112 elementary schools have been invited to compete for this scholarship. We wish them the best of luck as they move on to the next round of scholarship consideration. #faithexcellenceservice #thereisnoplaceliketome
