At St. Mary's, we educate for wisdom and virtue and form the whole child-mind, heart, and soul- through a rich classical Catholic education.

While tuition covers core operational expenses, it represents only a portion of the total cost to educate each child.  Your generous donation to the Blue & Gold Fund provides the flexible, immediate resources needed to support our teachers, elevate academic and spiritual programming, and enrich daily campus life.

• Maintain our excellent faculty and staff

• Supports rigorous academics and spiritual formation

• Extra-curricular programming

• Financial Assistance for families in need

WHY YOUR GIFT MATTERS

St. Mary's needs your support to form disciples for a world that is increasingly in need of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.  Your gift to the Blue and Gold Fund directly powers two vital pillars of our school:

1. Student Virtue- Your gift impacts classrooms with Great Books, science lab with equipment, fine art & musical supplies, and updates learning tools during the year in which your gift is given.  Ensuring accessibility to a Catholic education falls under this pillar as well.
2. Excellent Faculty- Your support provides specialized training in classical pedagogy, curriculum design, and spiritual formation.  You provide teachers with the exact materials and resources they need to foster wonder and critical thinking in their students.

• Goal: 100% Community Participation
• Campaign Dates: October 16-December 31 
• Participation Level: Gifts of Every Size--whether $20, $200, or $20,000--make a direct and meaningful impact.

Why isn't tuition enough to cover all expenses?

To keep a St. Mary’s education as affordable as possible for families, tuition is deliberately set below the full cost of educating a student. The Blue & Gold Fund bridges this gap without forcing dramatic increases in tuition rates.

If I already support the Fall Fest or Gala, why should I give to the Blue & Gold Fund?

Events like the Fall Fest and Gala are essential for bringing our school family together and building community. The Blue & Gold Fund, however, serves as our primary annual philanthropic resource, directly sustaining daily academic and operational excellence.

Can I restrict my gift to a specific project?

Unrestricted gifts to the Blue & Gold Fund give school leadership the flexibility to address the most urgent needs across campus. However, if you have a specific passion or question about giving opportunities, please contact our Mission Advancement Office.
