| Gross Catholic High School |
 Greetings!
Our development office, chaircouples, and committees are hard at work, gathering auction gifts, soliciting corporate sponsors and underwriting, and planning how best to turn the gymnasium into a ballroom.
I want to thank our chaircouples for helping us. They are current parents Dr. Bruce & Toni Lundak and current parents and alumni Phil '86 & Diane Skryja Knicky '86. We thank these parents for volunteering their time and efforts for this cause.
Our goal this year is to raise $260,000. The school could not operate without this fundraiser and we are very appreciative of all the work that goes into it. This event contributes to all the quality programs of Gross Catholic, and it is an enjoyable way for parents, alumni and friends to show their support of our students.
Gross Catholic students are absolutely the best of the best, and this evening makes it possible to provide them with the very best teachers, facilities and programs they so richly deserve.
Sincerely,
Beckie Cleveland
President |

| Educate for Adaptation & Change |
 Global Outreach Catholic Exchange Program Global Outreach is a program in which high school students from Eastern Europe come to the United States to refine their English language and servant leadership skills as well as experience a year in a Catholic high school with an active Catholic family. The GO program in Omaha currently needs host families for the 2012 - 2013 school year for GO students who will attend Gross Catholic. In the past, Gross Catholic has been able to accept two students, provided that host families are available. Host families provide a loving family for a student for the school year, but are not responsible for tuition and book expenses. For more information, click here or if you are interested in hosting a student or have questions, you can contact Chris and Craig (402-556-1554) or Sister Marie Alice Ostry (402-614-0177). |
