The Vision for the Future 2021
Continuing To Build Leaders For The Next 100 Years

THANK YOU!

With your help we accomplished much during this challenging 2020-2021 school year. We were able to: 

  • Provide our students daily in-person instruction which actively engaged them in learning and supported their family life.
  • Continue building a more diverse and inclusive community within our student body, faculty and staff.
  • Significantly upgrade the school’s IT infrastructure and offer our students, faculty and staff the most up-to-date resources and technology.
  • Provide a St. Charles education to all interested young men and their families. Last year alone, thanks in great part to the school’s endowment funds, St. Charles was able to provide our families more than $1.4 million in financial aid and $450,000 more in academic and merit-based scholarships.
  • Reach the initial benchmarks of the campaign goal of $20 Million for The Vision for the Future: Building Leaders for the Next 100 Years. 

The Journey Continues

  • The St. Charles Endowment Fund grew to a value of $25 million.
  • Support was secured to enhance and beautify Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto.
  • Support was secured to begin the construction of the new Frank E. Murphy ’54 Convocation Center.

Join Us In The Next Step

St. Charles understands the importance of preparing current and future generations of Carolians to successfully compete in an ever-globalized 21st century world. Students learning styles and the manner in which they receive and process information is changing. To provide current and future students a world-class education and a learning experience that aligns with the mission of the school, efforts must be made to:

  • Continue to provide and retain the finest teachers and staff.

  • Continue to offer access to the most up-to-date technology tools and resources.

  • Continue to build flexible learning spaces that provide the development of the mind, body and spirit of all St. Charles students. 

The Learning Resource Center

The Learning Resource Center will be a multi-floor modern facility that will provide technology and media resources with:

  • Flexible room design for student/teacher collaboration.
  • Dedicated space for S.T.E.M activities.
  • All spaces designed to provide technology access to students, faculty and the community.
