Holy Trinity High School hosts Guardians of Hope Dinner

On Friday, March 6, 2015 at 6 p.m. at Navy Pier, Holy Trinity High School will host its signature annual event, the Guardians of Hope Dinner. The Guardians of Hope Dinner is a benefit to raise vital funds for intelligent, capable, young men and women in need of tuition assistance. This year’s Guardians of Hope honoree is Mike Kelly, President of Kelly Construction & Design LTD.

Mr. Kelly became involved with Holy Trinity through the Partnership to Educate and Advance Kids. He has mentored Holy Trinity students and headed construction projects in the building, including the $1.5 million renovation of the Holy Trinity science labs and classrooms. “It is overwhelming to receive this honor,” Mr. Kelly said. “The passion within the building at Holy Trinity amazes me. It is visible in all the students who have graduated and gone on to succeed and in the teachers who recognize the potential in each student.”

More than 500 guests are expected to join Holy Trinity High School in celebrating 105 years of commitment to the Chicago community and its youth. In keeping with the Holy Cross tradition of serving those in greatest need, more than 90 percent of Holy Trinity students qualify for scholarships and financial assistance. An icon of Chicago secondary education, Holy Trinity serves students from more than 45 ZIP codes. The dedicated faculty and staff provide the individualized attention, rigorous academic curriculum, and strong moral guidance that will lead Holy Trinity into the next 100 years of excellence and integrity.
