The Annual Fund is a vital part of sustaining a St. Bernard’s High School education. It helps bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of educating our students, providing unrestricted support where it is needed most.

Annual Fund gifts directly enhance:

• Academic programs across all disciplines

• Athletics, arts, and extracurricular opportunities

• Faculty recruitment, professional development, and retention

• The care and maintenance of our campus and facilities

Why the Annual Fund is Essential

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, St. Bernard’s has recently established a $10.3 million endowment, carefully invested and intentionally preserved to support the school for generations.

While the endowment secures our long-term future, it is designed to be protected and used through a limited annual draw and cannot be used to fund day-to-day operations or immediate needs. 

The Annual Fund remains essential. It supports the programs, people, and experiences that define a St. Bernard’s education right now.

Together, the Annual Fund and the endowment reflect thoughtful stewardship—caring for today’s students while planning responsibly for tomorrow.

Why Your Support Makes a Difference

A strong level of participation demonstrates our community’s belief in St. Bernard’s mission and its commitment to future generations of students.

Broad support from trustees, parents, alumni, and friends strengthens our school and sends a powerful message of confidence in the incredible work of our faculty and staff. Participation—at any level—directly impacts each student’s experience.

Find the Right Gift for You

Every member of the St. Bernard’s community is encouraged to make a meaningful gift that feels comfortable for their individual circumstances. There is no gift too small to make a difference—every contribution helps advance our mission and build participation.

Leadership gifts play a critical role in helping us reach our ambitious Annual Fund goal of $150,000. We invite those who are able to consider joining this special group of key donors with a gift of $1,000 or more.

Your generosity—at any level—helps ensure the St. Bernard’s experience our students love continues today and for generations to come.
