Monsanto Fund Gift
Monsanto Fund Gift to Support Cardinal Ritter Prep Science Program
The Monsanto Fund recently awarded Cardinal Ritter College Prep a $24,825 grant to improve the high school’s science program. The grant will supply technical equipment, materials, books, professional development and furniture for Cardinal Ritter Prep’s science program.
“Science is always changing; there are new advances and discoveries daily,” said Cardinal Ritter Prep President Leon C. Henderson. “The Cardinal Ritter Prep science program must remain current in order to give our students opportunities for advancement in science-related degrees and careers. Monsanto is a leader in the science industry and we are so grateful for their continuing support.”
This most recent grant from Monsanto Fund continues a tradition of supporting Cardinal Ritter Prep. In 2000, Monsanto Fund provided $500,000 to Ritter’s capital campaign, which funded the building of a new school in the Grand Center area. Monsanto Fund also has sponsored Ritter’s annual Founder’s Day Dinner for the past two years.
St. Louis-based Monsanto Company develops insect and herbicide-resistant crops and other agricultural products.
Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School has educated students from the entire St. Louis region for more than 25 years and opened a new, state-of-the-art school in Grand Center in 2003.
