President Bush recognizes Memphis Jubilee Schools for quality and impact

President Bush recently praised Memphis Catholic Schools leadership and local philanthropists for spreading educational excellence in the inner city through the Jubilee Schools of the Diocese of Memphis.

Ten local Jubilee Schools provide an affordable high quality private education to more than 1,400 low income students - 81% from non-Catholic families and 96% from families at or below the poverty line. These schools have a zero dropout rate and graduate 99.9% of their students. One key to their success is the comprehensive services and support provided to student’s families.
