Goal: 1.2 Million

This year, you have a tremendous opportunity to make a lasting impact and leave a legacy for our future Saints. Annual giving through the Saints Community Fund plays a vital role in our students’ success in the classroom, through campus ministry, on the stage, and the field. This year we are combining our annual giving efforts with the needs of Phase 1 of our We Are Called Campaign.

Gifts made to ONE GIFT. ONE GOAL. fulfill both our annual giving with the Saints Community Fund and our current campaign, We Are Called. Everyone is invited to participate in the ONE GIFT. ONE GOAL. initiative by making a one-time or recurring gift or a pledge of $5,000 or more between August 1, 2024 and June 30, 2026.

The We Are Called Campaign aims to expand programming and curriculum so students can apply their strengths in an active learning environment and pursue their passions in areas like the arts. Our facility improvements will also keep more of our students home to participate in athletics and activities together as a community. 

The Campaign is divided into two Phases. 

PHASE 1
Academics: Developing Gateway-Capstone classes in Business, Engineering, and Health Sciences including a Health Sciences Lab
Arts: Enhancing the Arts with New and Remodeled Classrooms
Safety: Building a Track & Multipurpose Center 

PHASE 2
Updating our Current Baseball Facilities
Building a New Softball Field
Updating Current Concession/Bathroom Facilities
Creating a Grand Entrance for our Competition Fields

Campaign Goal:
$8.1 Million

Help us meet our goal!


PHASE 1: Expanding Academic Programs & Creating Opportunity

GOAL 1: ACADEMICS

CREATING opportunity

Create academic pathway courses to explore real-world learning  in new classroom spaces including a health science lab.

Academic Upgrades

GOAL 2: ARTS

EXPANDING the arts

Enhance our Fine & Performing Arts wing by relocating and creating additional classroom space in one wing. Our arts program allows our students to explore the beauty and goodness in our world around them.  
 

The Arts encourage and improve understanding of self, instill a greater sense of confidence, and promote positive academic and social-emotional development.
 
Students acquire problem-solving techniques, which help them to see the world in new ways and provide access to understanding God’s ultimate creation. 
 
Enhancing this space offers students the opportunity to share their gifts outside the classroom with our community.

 

Arts Expansion

GOAL 3: STUDENT SAFETY AND PARTICIPATION

KEEPING students on campus
 
Safeguard students and increase participation with the addition and upgrade of facilities.
