Several Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School students were
selected to attend prestigious summer leadership conferences around the state
and around the country. Due to social distancing guidelines in response to
Covid-19, many summer programs were postponed, moved to a virtual venue, or
canceled. Nevertheless, we are proud to recognize the outstanding students who were
chosen to represent Montgomery Catholic.
