The Pat Holzapfel Strobel '56 Legacy Grant: In memory of Pat Holzapfel Strobel, a lifelong supporter of CKS and a 1956 graduate.

Pat wanted to pay forward the many blessings she received from the school, church, and CKS community.
Each year, this grant recognizes a family that has been an ardent, long-term supporter of CKS and whose youngest child graduated from the school. Pat understood the tremendous value of a Catholic education and made sacrifices to send her children to CKS. She wanted to celebrate the same sacrifices made and support given by another family.
