Since its founding, St.
Mary’s Academy has been blessed with remarkable support from those
who are committed to the school’s mission. As has been the tradition
since our earliest days, St. Mary’s Academy today relies on
philanthropic gifts of all sizes. Support from alumnae, parents,
friends, corporations and foundations allow St. Mary’s Academy to
maintain the high-quality education for which we are known.
Your philanthropic partnership makes it possible for St. Mary’s Academy to educate and enrich the lives of more than 640 young women each year. We are profoundly grateful for each and every gift because
each is an endorsement of the talented young women who attend St. Mary’s
Academy and helps to ensure they will reach their highest potential.
