LEGACY OF LEARNING FUND

For 88 years, Holy Family Catholic School has served as the largest ministry in our parish community, nurturing students in Catholic values and embracing them with a sense of belonging in our vibrant, thriving community. Special student experiences and learning opportunities, both on and off campus, highlight our dynamic and participatory program, designed to expand classroom learning and support many different curriculum areas.

Your support enables us to maintain our commitment to provide our students with the Catholic traditions of faith, community, service, and excellence!

Our Legacy of Learning Fund campaign begins on Wednesday, September 10th, with Blue & Gold Free Dress for our students! This year’s campaign is a little over two weeks long, so please submit your pledges soon! Legacy of Learning is a tax-deductible school program that helps bridge the gap between tuition and operating costs, amounting to about $2,100 per student. It also helps to cover funding for:

Instructional Aides
Staff Development
Academic Decathlon
Mock Trial
Science Camp
Gardening
Student Council
Athletics
Field Trips
Science Camp
School Nurse
Counselor
Yearbook
Innovation & Design
CIMI (Catalina Island Marine Institute)

100% participation is our goal! It makes the school eligible for grants and other perks that can help fund the above programs as well as others.
