4th Annual Scholarship Breakfast Celebrates Students’ Achievement on the HSPT
All eighth-grade students that apply to Padua are required to take the High School Placement Test. Each year Padua recognizes the students that score in the top percentiles by awarding
them a renewable Placement Test scholarship ranging from $1,000–$6,000 based on their results. On December 5, 2020 we celebrated these students and welcomed their families to our 4th Annual Scholarship Breakfast. Padua seniors Austin Pacula, Olivia Gutowski, and Olivia Stefka spoke to the students and families about their experiences at Padua and how Padua has prepared them for college and beyond. Congratulations on your amazing achievement on the High School Placement Test!
