paving the way for inspired minds, compassionate hearts, and future leaders

The journey of education is a shared one, where every act of support, big or small, makes a direct impact on our students' futures. Whether through donations, volunteering, or participating in our annual appeal, contributions are a testament to the power of collective action and faith in the potential of every child. Each path offers a unique opportunity to be a part of our mission to inspire curiosity, kindness, and dignity in a caring Christian community.

Together, we can provide opportunities so our students not only dream of making a difference, but are equipped to turn those dreams into reality.

LEGACY OF LOVE, LEARNING, AND LASTING IMPACT

St. Mary's heart of gold fund

shaping tomorrow together

The Heart of Gold Fund is St. Mary's most crucial appeal and is a combined effort of our entire community. This annual fund enables us to undertake projects that elevate our educational environment beyond what tuition alone can cover. Last year, thanks to our generous donors, we raised nearly $400,000, enabling transformative campus-wide changes and the expansion of our academic programs, including the creation of a middle school STEM Lab and improvements in wellness and academic resources.

Gifts have a profound impact and contribute to the school's ongoing transformation, supporting areas like the St. Mary's Endowment, financial aid, and wherever the need is greatest. With options to target your support to initiatives that resonate with you, donations not only enrich our school but also reflects your personal commitment to education.

This year, our focus turns to the future, guided by an intensive Campus Master Planning process. Your involvement is more than a contribution—it's a legacy. Join us as we continue to build on our tradition of excellence, ensuring that St. Mary's remains a beacon of learning, leadership, and love for generations to come.
