The St. Vincent-St. Mary High School Foundation Family & Memorial Scholarship application for returning students for the 2025-2026 school year is now available on the STVM website. Family & Memorial Scholarships are provided through the generosity of our donors and the STVM HS Foundation and are a valuable source of tuition assistance. Students should apply for any State of Ohio scholarships for which they are eligible (EdChoice-traditional and Expansion, JPSN, or Autism) and the FACTS application to be eligible to receive a Family & Memorial Scholarship. Students who are currently receiving a Family & Memorial Scholarship must reapply every year. The deadline for applications is today!  Click here to go to the Financial and Scholarship Info section at STVM.com for instructions on completing the Family & Memorial Scholarship application and the required FACTS Financial Aid application. 

The STVM Used Uniform Sale, hosted by the STVM Parents' Club, is a great way to get quality uniforms for a fraction of the price. The next sale has been postponed until spring/summer, details TBA. 

In the meantime, we still need your help to stock the sale! We are currently accepting donations of gently used, non-stained items, including polos, belts, skirts, STVM sports apparel, and spirit wear. Please note: we are only accepting women’s pants at this time as we have a large supply of men’s pants.

Donations can be dropped off at the school office during regular school hours. Your contributions help make the sale a success and benefit the entire school community.

Thank you for supporting this important initiative! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Tracy Fox at tlfox99@yahoo.com.

The Irish Family extends our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes to math teacher  Mr. Jim Mellody.  Jim has accepted a teaching position at Chesterton Academy for the 2025-2026 school year. While we will be sad to see him go at the end of this school year, we wish him much success in his new position. STVM is thankful to Jim for sharing his love of math through his five years as a teacher, his service as moderator of Mu Alpha Theta, and his reliable supply of math jokes! Please keep Mr. Mellody and his family in your prayers as he embarks on this new and exciting chapter of his career. 

This Ohio Scholarship Tax-Credit Program lets you “Turn taxes into Tuition” by directing your tax dollars to our St. Vincent-St. Mary High School students.  The money will be used for tuition assistance for those students with the greatest need. This will help STVM meet its fundraising goals and keep tuition affordable. You don't have to have a child attending STVM to be eligible. All Ohio taxpayers can participate. 

How does it work? Make a donation to Angel Scholarship Fund, for which you may receive a 100% Ohio income tax credit of up to $750 ($1,500 if married filing jointly) against your 2024 state tax liability. These funds will be used to provide tuition assistance for Catholic school students, and you can direct the funds specifically to STVM. In other words, the state of Ohio allows you to "spend" some of the state income taxes (that you must pay anyway) to provide tuition assistance for STVM students. The Angel Scholarship Fund is a win-win-win for taxpayer donors, scholarship recipients, and our Catholic schools.
