Parish Fund
Parish Fund is the School’s largest annual fundraising effort. It assists in advancing the mission of the School and creating unique opportunities for our students. Annual participation, which is vital to our sustainability, provides direct funding for educational initiatives that tuition alone does not cover. Every gift directly benefits every Parish student, every day.
Gifts from all members of the Parish community provide the School with unrestricted resources to support all operational areas, including academics, arts, faculty and technology. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift online today.
