Mr. William E. Brannick, Superintendent of Secondary Schools and Schools of Special Education for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, shared the record-breaking cumulative scholarship total earned by the Archdiocesan Class of 2025.

This year’s graduating seniors amassed a record-breaking $628,776,126 to further their educational journey at colleges and universities across the country.

Mr. Brannick made the announcement in a short Reel that was posted on Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools (AOPS) Facebook and on Instagram accounts.  

In addition, almost 300 members of this year’s graduating class will play in college athletic programs next year.

Archbishop Nelson J. Pérez recently shared an end of year message to all Archdiocesan school families, faculty, staff and administrators, and especially to the Class of 2025. In it he said, “You have worked hard and achieved so much in the classroom, on the playing fields, through extracurricular activities, and in your service to your communities.” He continued, “I am deeply grateful to the dedicated parents, teachers, staff, and administrators in our parish and regional elementary schools, high schools, and schools of special education for guiding our young people throughout their educational journey.”

Here is the direct link to the Archbishop’s full message.
