Higher Powered Learning grants
In its 11th year, the Higher Powered Learning grant program continues to inspire innovation in our schools. This year, individual or consortium applications, requesting up to $10,000 or $25,000 respectively, were submitted for the following system-wide strategic priorities: Social Emotional Learning, Enhanced Learning Initiatives, Innovative Resources and Advancing Catholic Education. Each grant application was carefully reviewed to determine which projects would receive a portion of the $150,000 in total funding.
On behalf of the Albany Diocesan School Board, the Catholic School Office is pleased to announce this year’s Higher Powered Learning grant winners:
St. Madeleine Sophie School: Let’s Investigate — Science
Catholic School Office on behalf of All Schools (Consortium): Higher Powered Engagement and Communications
St. Clement’s School: Engaging the Science of Reading

*-Indicates tie score, grant partially and equally funded by available remaining balance.
Each winning school received their grant check at Superintendent’s Conference Day on Sept. 5 at Corpus Christi Church in Round Lake. Due to the limited resources available for the program, some worthwhile applications were not funded. The enthusiastic and collaborative response to the call for proposals made this year’s program quite competitive once again. Congratulations and best wishes to our winners for a successful implementation of each innovative program!
