Saint Columbkille Partnership School is mission-driven and committed to ensuring that a high-quality Catholic education is available to all who seek it. Each year we fundraise close to $700,000 to uphold this mission. Your support is essential. 

 
Choose where you would like to direct your donation.

 

The Annual Fund at Saint Columbkille Partnership School is our top giving priority, because it directly supports our school’s greatest asset - the students. Your support allows our students to receive a transformative education. The Annual Fund makes a difference by:

  • Providing essential funding for nearly half of our students who receive financial aid, which provides transformative opportunities for students of all backgrounds
  • Keeping the cost of tuition reasonable 
  • Strengthening the curriculum, including the STEM, art and music programs
  • Maintaining a bright facility and school grounds
  • Supporting professional development for our teachers
 
The Peter McLaughlin Endowment Fund for Financial Aid was established in 2018 in honor of Peter McLaughlin, a long-time member and past chair of the STCPS Board of Trustees. This endowment mirrors Peter’s unwavering commitment to making Catholic education accessible to all.
 
The Parent/Grandparent Fund
COVID-19 has impacted our community in many ways. Unfortunately, it continues to affect the school, creating a variety of immediate updates and necessary improvements. Parents and grandparents play an integral role in supporting our school and your support is greatly appreciated.
