Description

The Mary Louis Academy was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph (Brentwood, NY) in 1936, during the The Great Depression. When the prevailing spirit was one of pessimism, building a school was a statement of belief in the future, and in the contributions of Catholic education to that future. We are a community that celebrates cultural diversity and continues the Catholic tradition of service while following the core values of the Sisters of St. Joseph - unity, reconciliation and all-inclusive love. In their honor, TMLA offers the CSJ Scholar Incentive Service Award.

The CSJ Scholar Incentive Service Award is a four-year scholarship awarded to several incoming students who exemplify this commitment to service in their parish and/or community.
