Catholic Schools
​

​Deeply rooted in Catholic social justice teaching, we believe that all children have a right to an integral and quality education. This belief was also a conviction of our founder Gerry Rauenhorst and to this end we endeavor to support K-12 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis reach their fullest potential. 
Our Vision 

Our vision is for Catholic elementary schools with the highest proportion of low-income students in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis that are sustainable, academically excellent, and meet the unique needs of scholars. 


Our desired outcomes in support of this vision are that: ​

•  Schools meet high quality academic standards

•  Schools demonstrate effective school leadership
​
•  Schools have a sustainable funding model in place​

What we see as current challenges: 

Many Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis are severely under resourced setting forth a cascading impact on leadership, capacity building, fundraising, student experience and academic performance.  

How we are addressing these challenges: 

GHR has a multi-pronged approached to addressing the many challenges these Catholic elementary schools face. Through key partnerships, we are targeting the leadership support and governance guidance of principals and teachers.
