"Their first dream is to graduate from Nativity Prep. Their next dream is to graduate from one of the high schools; private or public or parochial. And their next dream is to go on and get a college education,” said Dianne Crowley, the Nativity Prep Principal. “And from that dream of graduation they can take the rays that are coming from Nativity to any place they want in their lives."
