BOSTON -- The Catholic Schools Foundation will honor local Catholic school teachers with the Carolyn and Peter Lynch Award for their leadership throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The award will be presented during the foundation's virtual 31st Annual Inner-City Scholarship Fund Celebration on Thursday, April 15.
Many local Catholic schools have been open to in-person instruction since August, continuing to meet the needs of the thousands of low-income families that the Catholic Schools Foundation supports through scholarships and programmatic aid. This is possible because teachers continue to put their students and families first.
The Carolyn and Peter Lynch Award is bestowed annually by the Catholic Schools Foundation to individuals or organizations making a transformational difference in the lives of its more than 4,000 yearly scholarship recipients. Recent honorees include Bank of America and Richard F. Connolly Jr. of The Connolly Group at Morgan Stanley. The award is named in honor of Peter S. Lynch, the legendary investor and president emeritus of the Catholic Schools Foundation, and his late wife Carolyn.
