Your contributions have allowed us to continue our mission of providing a quality , academically challenging education to our students in the Ursuline tradition .
Because of you , we inspire students to achieve their greatest potential in a Christ-centered atmosphere . We equip our teachers with professional development opportunities that transfer to classroom instruction that creatively and positively impacts teaching and learning for our students .
This year , you accepted our invitation to support the school and helped us raise more than :
$ 350,478 for the Annual Fund Your gifts were impactful , helping us close the $ 1,500 gap between tuition and the actual cost to educate each student . Funds raised help offset the expense of faculty professional development , classroom assistants , educational materials , and much more .
