This senior class is a shining example of how, even amidst unforeseen challenges, our students and community can accomplish great things together. Want a glimpse of how CSF has impacted this year's seniors? Take a look at the following quotes from Lauren & Jessica, Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the Class of 2021.

“When I look back on my past 12 years at the Catholic Schools Fairbanks, I know with confidence that this school has had a positive impact on my life. What makes CSF so special is the focus of every staff member to do everything they can for their students. I am not just another face in a school of a thousand kids...I constantly feel love and respect from all the staff and faculty at Monroe who have been role models for me to reciprocate that love.”  - Lauren White

“Monroe has given me the tools to grow myself and plant seeds in the world to make it a better place. I’ve learned how to be open to expanding my own horizons and the boundaries of the world around me thanks to my time at this school. Even though I’ve learned so much here, I don’t know exactly how I’m going to change the world. But because of Monroe, I know it’s possible.” Jessica Reed

As CSF students move beyond the walls of these schools and into the greater world, the seeds that were planted encourage them to grow, and give back. This is part of CSF’s legacy: not just being better together in the schools, but rather striving to be better together in the world.

By supporting these schools, you too are a part of this change in the world. Give, and join us in a journey that starts with young minds. While uncharted and evolving, it is a journey of potential; a journey founded on love and faith, and filled with opportunity.
