DePaul is one of 14 Catholic elementary schools that recently joined a new nonprofit, Independence Mission Schools (IMS), focused on providing high-quality education to students in disadvantaged communities. The grant will help DePaul accelerate student learning with technology and keep operating costs low while the school grows to 540 students.
