highest quality education possible. Your generous investment in the Annual Fund enables the School to close the approximately 10% gap in the operating expenses that tuition does not cover.

Thanks to the generous support of 1,621 alumni, parents, and friends, the 2008 Annual Fund reached record highs in surpassing its goal of $1.3 million by reaching $1,312,056 in unrestricted contributions. These gifts, combined with donations collected through events such as the Guild of St. Irene Christmas Auction and the St. Sebastian's Golf Outing along with endowment gifts, bring our total for the Annual Fund year to $2,040,472! The goal for the 2009 Annual Fund year has been set at $1,350,000 in unrestricted gifts. Make an online gift !
