Giving to the Future.

As we reflect on the successes of the past year and look forward to the opportunities ahead, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of Marquette Academy. Your commitment to our school community plays a crucial role in shaping the educational experience of our students.

This year has been filled with significant milestones. Thanks to generous donors like you, we’ve been able to install a brand new gym floor and bleacher system at the grade school campus, gave over $301,420 in financial aid and scholarships, purchased interactive TV’s for classrooms, and acquired a new bus. These improvements are making a tangible difference in our students’ academic growth and overall experience.

However, to continue this momentum and ensure that every student receives the highest quality education possible, we need your help. Our Annual Appeal is a vital part of our fundraising efforts, enabling us to support ongoing and new initiatives that enhance our school’s programs and facilities. Your donation helps fund essential resources such as:

• Innovative Curriculum: Providing our teachers with the latest tools and materials to create engaging and effective learning experiences.
• Scholarships and Financial Aid: Ensuring that every student has the opportunity to benefit from a Catholic education, regardless of their financial situation.
• Campus Enhancements: Maintaining and upgrading our facilities to create a safe and inspiring environment for our students.

This year’s Annual Appeal’s goal is to raise $100,000. Your contribution, whether large or small, will directly impact our ability to achieve this goal and continue providing exceptional educational opportunities.

The Marquette Society is an elite group of alumni, alumni parents, grandparents and friends who, along with our Corporate Partners, provide financial support for the advancement of the mission of Marquette Academy High School. The dollars received each year are a major source of income that provides support for the operating budget.

The campaign runs from early autumn to June 30th each year.  Membership in the Society is renewed on an annual basis and new members are always welcome.
