History
B.L.U.E. began in 1991 with four dedicated Chair couples who encompassed great vision and a personal dedication to the future of Hastings Catholic Schools. Our goal has always been to provide an excellent and affordable education to children in Hastings and the surrounding areas. The Mission of the Hastings Catholic Schools is to prepare all students to become responsible citizens, life-long learners and strong Catholic witnesses who find meaningful purpose in this life and for eternity.
Tuition alone does not cover the cost per pupil – and the great success of B.L.U.E. helps keep tuition low. It has been an essential part in our ongoing commitment to our students.
For information about how you can help with B.L.U.E. 2012, please contact this year’s chairs: Marty & Janie Demuth and Bob & Carmen Sullivan.
