SCHS Foundation

History of the Foundation

Established in 1981, the St. Catherine's High School Foundation ensures the necessary financial resources to provide future generations of Angels with the same experience over 15,000 alumni have enjoyed ever since Mother Benedicta Bauer, our foundress, opened the school in 1864.

The Foundation's endowment, which features over 70 individual named funds valued in excess of $5 million, is managed by its Board of Directors, and generates interest income for the school on a reliable annual basis, funding scholarships and financial aid, staff development, and educational programs.  

Establishing a new Foundation fund, making a gift to an existing fund by including the Foundation in your will or estate plan, or designating the school as a beneficiary of an IRA are just a few ways to support the endowment and help ensure the school's continued health and vitality.

Anyone wishing to learn more about giving to the Foundation should the Development Office via email or 262-833-5511.
