Access to Excellence
 | "My education at St. Joan Antida prepared me academically and culturally for the real world. SJA recognizes the potential in all students; offers a warm, nurturing environment; and encourages students to take on challenges of all kinds. SJA is where my dreams became tangible possibilities in a sisterly environment and where I learned that I can contribute to society and help shape it into something better for everyone." - Catherine Dornfeld, PAVE Scholar and St. Joan Antida Alumna |
Catherine Dornfield attended St. Joan Antida High School on a PAVE scholarship, and is now a senior at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, double majoring in biological sciences and psycology. Catherine is currently applying to medical school.
“I want to express my personal gratitude for the opportunity my daughter received to achieve her high school education at St. Joan Antida High School throught the generosity of PAVE and its partners. Without this support she would not have been able to attend an outstanding school that transformed her from a young girl into a woman of character. Many thanks to you for stewarding this mission." - Mary Dornfield, mother of Catherine Dornfield |
Expansion of Quality Options
Knowing that access to educational options is meaningless without a wide array of quality educational options to choose from, PAVE has worked intensively with school leaders and their communities throughout Milwaukee to strengthen schools' ability to educate students successfully.
“ PAVE supports our students and our entire organization. From technical support for creating a governance structure to strategic planning, PAVE has assisted us in all areas that must be in place to support teaching and learning. We are most appreciative of PAVE ‘s collaboration as a true partner.” -Cynthia Marino, President, St. Joan Antida High School |
"Hmong American Peace Academy was like a picture without a frame until PAVE took the Academy under their wings. As true parents to a developing community, PAVE provided the structured support the Academy needed to move forward in making growth decisions, including board development, facility planning and establishing a strategic plan. Like a frame around a beautiful picture, PAVE has helped move our organization from good to great, making the Academy a community show piece." - Chris Her-Xiong, Principal and Executive Director, Hmong American Peace Academy, Ltd. |
