Please join us as we congratulate,

Mrs. Reagan Wood

HCS Teacher of 3rd Grade,

for being the 2026 Recipient of the

Christ the Teacher Award

“Mrs. Wood was nominated by several families because she is a shining example of everything a teacher should be: a strong role model who challenges her students academically, shows generosity and enthusiasm and is filled with faith and dedicated to teaching the Catholic Faith. Mrs. Wood is Christ-like, because she understands her students’ needs and serves as a tireless leader for our school. She’s been instrumental in starting our new Virtue-based program called “Everyday Apostles”, designed to strengthen the Catholic Identity within our school.”

SGO (Scholarship Granting Organization)

SHOW THIS TO YOUR TAX PREPARER!

There is a terrific way to get a large tax break and support our parishes and school through donations to our diocesan SGO (“Scholarship Granting Organization”). The SGO of Northeast Indiana (www.sgonei.org) supports Huntington Catholic School.

Tax Credit  The state tax credit makes an SGO contribution especially attractive to donors. In addition to the potential Federal tax deduction for charitable contributions, SGO donations are eligible for a 50% State of Indiana Tax Credit.

Where your Donation Goes   Your donation to the SGO of Northeast Indiana designating Huntington Catholic School as the recipient is used to help families with financial need with their tuition costs. Please note that we receive your entire contribution. For example, if you contribute $1000 to our school, we receive $1000 to give as tuition assistance, even though you still get $500 back as a state tax credit.

This seems too good to be true. How it is possible? The State of Indiana has encoded this into law in order to encourage private investment in education.

How Do I Donate? – You can donate online at

https://app.sgonei.org/donations/new

Our school’s Principal, Derek Boone, is available to answer questions and can assist with the donation process. dboone@huntingtoncatholic.org   

Please consider making a donation which greatly benefits our school and parishes!
