Not too late to support Lenten Appeal
To help finish the school year on solid financial footing, we started a Lenten Appeal for our Annual Fund. We've heard from many, many alumni and it's not to late to participate!
The Annual Fund provides essential funds to fill the gap between revenues from tuition and the actual expense of educating our students. All donors making a gift of $132 or more will receive a copy of the history of St. Mary's High School in our book "A Pirates' Treasure." The books will be back from the publisher this week!You can donate online by clicking here or mail a check in to the school at 2501 E. Yampa St, Colorado Springs, CO 80909.
We greatly need the support of the entire community!

Principal Search Extended
Despite the best laid plans, we hit a snag in selecting our new principal and we were not able to announce the new principal at our Annual Gala as intended. We are extending the search to find the right leader for our school, but it will probably be after school gets out before we can announce our new principal (please let me know if you know any good candidates).
