Campaign Goal: $7 Million

Our goal is $7 million, but Marian for the Generations is about much more than our target number. It is our promise to honor the legacy of over 60 graduating classes of exceptional women, while building a future that empowers new generations of Mustangs to navigate an ever-changing world with courage and resilience. It is our pledge to offer more bright young women access to an outstanding education. Above all, it is our commitment to foster creativity and opportunity, blending tradition with innovation—for our students, our teachers, and our entire Marian community."

Four Key Priorities

With your support, we will embark on this vital journey to upgrade and improve our facilities and solidify our financial future:

STEM Center

We envision a school advancing its leadership in STEM education at the college-preparatory level. We see expanded opportunities for students to challenge themselves intellectually, engage in hands-on experiences with cutting-edge technology, explore real-world problems, and develop the critical skills needed for future careers. We see teachers gaining more time, space, and resources to innovate in curriculum development, collaborate with industry experts, and bring the latest research and advancements s into the classroom, preparing students to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

Visual Arts Center

We envision a school that cultivates creativity as a cornerstone of a holistic education. We see a vibrant visual arts program where students have the space, resources, and inspiration to explore, express, and refine their artistic talents. We see modern art studios that empower students to experiment with new media, collaborate with peers, and push the boundaries of their creativity. We see teachers equipped with state-of-the-art tools and the flexibility to innovate, guiding students to develop critical thinking, perseverance, and confidence—skills that extend far beyond the world of fine arts.

Windows & HVAC

We envision a school with modernized academic spaces that provide the ideal learning environment for every student. We see new, energy-efficient windows and advanced HVAC systems in all academic areas, ensuring consistent comfort, improved air quality, and natural light throughout the day. We see students thriving in classrooms where optimal conditions foster focus and creativity, while teachers can fully engage with their students without distractions. We see these upgrades as a vital investment in the health, well-being, and productivity of our entire Marian community, setting the stage for future success.

Endowment Growth

We envision a school with a robust endowment that secures Marian's future for generations to come. We see increased resources to maintain the affordability and accessibility of our Catholic education, ensuring all bright young women, regardless of financial means, can attend. We see the ability to attract and retain exceptional faculty, support critical tuition assistance, and invest in top-notch co-curricular programming. We see endowment growth as a safeguard against economic uncertainties, allowing Marian to continue providing a transformative education rooted in faith, character, and academic excellence for every student.
