SXU to host Catholic high school fair for elementary students on Thurs., April 7

One-stop shop for families seeking Catholic education

Chicago (March 21, 2011) Saint Xavier University is partnering with local Catholic high schools to host a fair for elementary school children on Thurs., April 7 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Warde Academic Center’s Butler Reception Hall at SXU's Chicago campus, 3700 W. 103rd St.

The fair is a one-stop shop for families interested in Catholic education, intended to help guide middle school students and their families through the sometimes intimidating process of choosing the right high school. Families will be informed that Catholic schools are often an affordable option for a quality college preparatory education, thanks to the availability of scholarships and financial aid.

The following schools will have representatives at the fair: Brother Rice, De la Salle, Fenwick, Josephinum, Maria, Marist, Mother McAuley, Mount Carmel, Mount Assisi, Notre Dame School for Girls, Queen of Peace, St. Ignatius, St. Laurence, St. Rita, and Trinity High School.
Parking is available free of charge at Lot #12 (across the street from the Warde Academic Center) and Lot #1 (in front of the Shannon Fitness Center). A map of SXU’s campus is available here.
