Cullen Foundation is excited for the launch of the 2024 Cullen Scholars application process. 

Through our Cullen Scholars program, Cullen Foundation assists families of high-achieving students in mitigating the financial challenges of attaining a private middle school and high school education. Cullen Foundation believes that access to high quality education is critical for individual and community success. To this end, we provide an opportunity to a select group of high-performing students to attend a private school in the BISON Scholarship Fund network (K-8 schools in Erie County only) and the EdCo Network  (high schools in Erie County only). The entry point for this scholarship is grade 6 (i.e., for the 2024-25 school year).

The NDA Times is created by the middle school students of the Newspaper Club and is moderated by Mrs. Grew and Mrs. Zippier. Students aim to inform and entertain our NDA community by writing about topics and issues that matter to them! Article topics range from sports and school events to TV shows, video games, and music. The newspaper also includes original fiction, poetry, and comics written by the students. At the NDA Times, we work hard and hope our NDA community enjoys what we create!

Thank you to all that helped with NDA's Student Council Food Drive. Our goal this year was 2,500 cans as we collected 2,300 last year. We are so beyond proud to say that this year we were able to donate 3,146 cans and food items to a local food pantry. We are so proud of our students passion for giving back to the community.

Each night in the United States, an estimated 600,000 people live on the streets. This October, we want to show that even a small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors who are homeless. We are collecting socks for the Response to Love Center.
