校长 Circle

As I begin my fifth year as 校长 at Bishop Ireton, I am so proud of this school community 和 all that has been accomplished during ever changing times. Bishop Ireton has grown in campus facilities, enhanced its rigorous academic programs through instruction 和 curriculum, grew our outst和ing array of extra-curricular 和 service opportunities, 和 developed tremendous programming for 特殊服务 和 additional resources to support our students’ learning needs. We not only kept our doors open throughout the p和emic, we also found new ways to reach our students, implement technology 和 safety enhancements, 和 ensure the best in academic learning 和 extracurricular engagement.

We are thriving with the largest enrollment in school history, welcoming 920 students this fall, 和 we are excited to share the Cardinal spirit with those who visit campus each day. 在教室里, our faculty continues to provide our students with a holistic 和 rigorous Catholic education. 同时, our administration 和 staff are supporting the academic, socio-emotional, spiritual 和 diverse needs of our students. Our challenging college preparatory curriculum continues to exceed state st和ards, 和 we are focused on instilling core values 和 dedication to service that will make our students the leaders of tomorrow 和 productive citizens.

Bishop Ireton High School relies on tuition 和 the generous philanthropic support of the community to balance the annual operating budget, fund capital 和 special projects, 和 bolster tuition assistance for those with financial need. The 年度基金 is the school’s primary source of money beyond tuition 和 fees, 和 it provides a direct avenue to impactful giving. With tuition only covering 80% of the actual cost to educate a Bishop Ireton student, the 年度基金 helps underwrite the difference (approximately $2,225 per student) between tuition revenue 和 the full cost of providing a superior academic experience. The generosity of our community is more important than ever as we provide support for our growing faculty 和 staff, 和 to assist families in need.

今年, I ask that you consider supporting our 年度基金 through the Head of School Circle, which recognizes generous donors at the $5,000级及以上. As a member of the 校长 Circle, you will be recognized through our Advancement publications 和 will receive invitations to special events during the year. I look forward to providing you with insight 和 updates from the 校长 Office. Please know that your decision to be a major donor makes a huge difference in the lives of our students as we continue our mission to Advance Always 和 Live Jesus.

I am most grateful for your participation in our efforts, as I see daily the goodness that comes from each day at Bishop Ireton. Our Cardinals are the ultimate beneficiaries of your generosity 和 philanthropic leadership, 和 I know that I speak for them in sharing gratitude for all that you do to help keep Bishop Ireton High School vibrant 和 thriving.
