HOPE (Help Offer Private Education) started over 30 years ago is our annual fundraiser dinner and auction where we come together as a community and celebrate, enjoy each other's company, and raise money for our children and our schools the last Saturday of April.

Students entertain the guests with music as they arrive and a singing performance during the dinner. Senior students assist with highlighting Live Auction items and emceeing the event.

Offering silent & live auctions, HOPE raises over $125,000 each year to support operations and ensure a Catholic education is accessible to all.

The funds we receive from HOPE benefit the following:

• Enhances facilities, academic and enrichment programs
• Tuition assistance
• Safety and Technology
• Professional Development for our faculty and staff
