Bishop Canevin Scholars Program Prepares Students to be Doctors of Tomorrow
Bishop Canevin High School has been awarded a $10,000 grant from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield to support the school’s St. Ignatius Scholars Program, an innovative program designed to better prepare leaders for tomorrow. Through the grant, Bishop Canevin High School will provide scholars students with experience outside of the classroom through speakers and site visits – with a specific emphasis on health care and medicine.
According to Principal Kenneth Sinagra, Bishop Canevin launched this program to “enhance our present values and mission of inspiring students to lead lives anchored in faith, enhanced through learning and enriched through service to others.”
St. Ignatius Scholars at Bishop Canevin are challenged to pursue an academically rigorous program offering regular enrichment opportunities in various professions. The inaugural class of St. Ignatius scholars includes 26 sophomores and 11 freshmen. These scholars form a unique learning community who partake in a curriculum centered on excellence, high intellectual and academic study, the development of effective communications skills, a moral discernment reflecting Catholic values and a transforming commitment to social justice.
“Assisting students in furthering their education is important to Highmark,” said Mary Anne Papale, director of community affairs at Highmark. “Our support of the St. Ignatius Scholars Program helps provide an outlet, as well as an interactive experience, for students who are interested in learning more about specific topics, such as health care.”
