Cathedral High alumni pledges $1.78 million to the boys' school
Tim Ackert, a 1962 graduate of Cathedral High School, and his wife, Norma, have pledged $1.78 million to Cathedral High School.
It is the second largest single gift made to the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso, stated a news release from the Catholic Foundation.
“I made my bequest to Cathedral High School because I very much believe in the mission of providing resources to those who have not had the opportunities that I had growing up. When we were in El Paso for my 50th high school reunion and saw the success rate of the Cathedral graduates, I was floored and decided to do what I could to help future students with needs become successful,” Tim Ackert said in the release.
