EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) -- Two Evansville high schools are launching major capital campaigns to strengthen Catholic education across the city.

Mater Dei and Reitz Memorial high schools are leading the effort. They say after more than three years of planning both schools are officially launching campaigns.

Officials say the goal is to fund long-term improvements and help secure the future of Catholic secondary education in the diocese of Evansville.

"This ability to impact these kids is really an investment that we're making very productive members of our society," says Meter Dei President Deacon Dan Niemeier.

Officials say both schools are accepting donations to help support their campaigns.
