2026-2027 Annual Fund

St. George School Annual Fund: Belong. Believe. Build.

At St. George, we do more than educate; we nurture hearts, inspire minds, and build a vibrant community rooted in faith. Whether you are a current parent, a grandparent, an alumnus, parishioner, or a friend, your support of the Annual Fund is the heartbeat of our school’s daily life, directly transforming the educational experience for every single student.

While we are committed to keeping a St. George education affordable, tuition only covers 75% of our actual operating costs. The Annual Fund bridges this vital gap. Your gift, no matter the size, ensures we can maintain our rich traditions while boldly investing in our future.

When you give to the Annual Fund, your generosity empowers St. George to nourish Belonging, Believing and Building:

🎨Enrichment Programs

Through these experiences, every child is encouraged to explore their gifts, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
