For over 30 years, the St. Mary's community has shown remarkable generosity and support.

Our wonderful campus and the enriching programs we offer today are a testament to the philanthropic spirit of the families who came before us. Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Design The Future project is now complete!

Annual contributions to the St. Mary’s Fund are essential to advancing our strategic plan and strengthening the programs that make our school truly exceptional. For those interested in making an even greater impact, we offer opportunities to support special initiatives, such as the Scholar Program and Design The Future Campaign. 

 

Community plays an integral role in providing this phenomenal educational experience.

Our parents, grandparents, alumni and community’s investment is key to the long-term success of our school and outstanding programs. 

You can make a positive and meaningful difference in your child’s education and in the life of our school community by partnering with us in two meaningful ways – Engagement & Philanthropy.

Engagement

  • Every St. Mary's Parent is part of the Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF). We value building community through volunteering and planning meaningful events and activities on and off campus.

  • There are many opportunities to volunteer. All strengths, time and talents are welcome! Volunteer opportunities are communicated through the Falcon Connect Parent Portal.

  • Support our two fundraising events – Golf Classic & Gala

 

Philanthropy

  • The St. Mary’s Fund – Your gift fuels innovation - allowing us to keep St. Mary's moving forward. 

  • The St. Mary's Scholar Program - Our mission for this program is to provide access to our unique learning environment for students who may not otherwise be able to attend our school. 

  • Design the Future capital campaign - There is still a chance to be part of this impactful initiative. We will close this campaign at the end of 2025.
