The Panther is in front of the school in the northeast part of town. No panthers are indigenous to this area, but the alliteration works well.
Julie Penrose was a philanthropist who was instrumental in raising the quality of lie in the city.
From the school's webpage:"She also provided funds for several other organizations, such as St. Mary’s High School in downtown Colorado Springs. She endowed the Boys Club, continued to provide funding for the Fountain Valley School and also built Pauline Memorial Catholic School, next to Pauline Chapel, both of which were named for her granddaughter. Her largest contribution was a 3.2 million dollar grant for the building of the new Penrose Hospital.
Even though Julie Penrose was a very rich woman, she was always very thoughtful. She made it possible for many of her employees, or their children, to attend universities and helped them when times got hard."
