2009-2010 Annual Report - St. Mary's Central High School

St. Mary’s Central High School
What is the Circle of Saints?
The Circle of Saints is St. Mary’s Central High School’s annual giving program. We charge approximately half
of what it actually costs to educate a student through tuition because we want to remain affordable to everyone.
The Circle of Saints is the primary way St. Mary’s Central High School makes up for the gap between tuition
and the actual cost of educating a student.
How is the money raised through the Circle of Saints used?
The funds raised through the Circle of Saints has three primary purposes: to provide our students with the
resources they need, such as textbooks and new technology; to pay our dedicated teachers a decent living wage;
and to pay for the needs of the building and grounds.
