Many thanks to all of our generous and loyal alumni, parents and friends for their support. The Capital Campaign for St. Joseph's Prep focused on the long term needs of the students and the School. The major capital needs for the Prep are endowment, additional facilities and the rehabilitation of existing facilities. Education is very expensive. Parents want their children taught by quality individuals.
Service provided by individuals is quite costly.
In our society the real cost of education for each student is beyond the ability of the great majority of families. Traditionally, the tuition received from students has been significantly below the real cost to educate each student. Endowment is that body of funds which provides an income to the Prep to fund scholarships, academic needs, and extracurricular activities as well as to subsidize each student's educational costs. Since 1988, contributions to the Capital Campaign have provided the funds for the restoration of the exterior of The Church of the Gesu and the tree-lined plaza adjacent to the Church Square as well as the School's main entrance. The Student Athletic Services Building has been operational since October 1995.
