Thriving Local Community

GHR Foundation’s founders relished the experience their children had attending Catholic schools and understood that the strength of any community is reflected in the educational opportunities its young people can access and pursue.

Today, GHR is advancing this legacy in support of strong Catholic schools where every student can thrive.
