Mission Accomplished: Collegiate Seniors and Alumni are Making Waves
Congratulations to the Collegiate Class of 2024—ALL of whom have been accepted to a four-year college or university! They’re joining the ranks of all ten graduating classes before them that have had a 100% college acceptance rate, every class since the school’s founding in 2008!
Every year, Collegiate graduates some of the best and brightest students in Memphis, and the impact has added up. Truly, our mission to prepare young ladies and gentlemen for college success within a highly structured, nurturing, Christian environment has given our scholars tremendous opportunities. Check out a few inspiring stories from our alumni below.
