FINAL report

Dear Friends & Supporters,
The many names that appear in this report reflect a tradition of giving dating back to the founding of Mother McAuley (then
Saint Xavier Academy) in 1846. They represent a culture of philanthropy that has been expanding for more than 170 years
and illustrate the tremendous impact of our alumnae and friends. This legacy, which we celebrate each day within our walls,
shines best through the remarkable achievements of our young women.
We are blessed by the boundless generosity and commitment of donors who help our students flourish academically,
spiritually and emotionally. We watch as our young women bring to school their energy, diversity, creativity, kindness and
curiosity. They are enthusiastically engaged in learning and joyful of heart as they make friends and sisters for life. They push
and challenge each other, never settling and always driven to bring forth to the world women who are learners, leaders and
future-ready.
I’m pleased to share that the last fiscal year was one of integral growth on many fronts.
Our Future Ready campaign allowed us to complete necessary upgrades to our C-wing classrooms so we may
better support our students, both now and in the future.
We continued to attract and retain the best educators and administrators who are dedicated to our mission and
our vision of a school filled with dreamers and innovators.
Alumnae engagement and support grew through events like our Banner Year Reunion, Fore the Macs: Playing it
Forward Golf Outing, Career Day and our new MAC-Tails happy hours.
Our scholarships continued to increase in number and amount, a critical component in ensuring the dream of a
McAuley education becomes a reality for families who otherwise find a Catholic education beyond their reach.
We celebrated curriculum advancements through new partnerships with Project Lead the Way and Amazon Future
Engineers and fostered students’ leadership and soft skills through our Advice Beyond the Classroom program.
As you can see, we are thriving! You’ll read about each of these and so much more on the pages that follow.
Whether your gift helps us to construct or renovate buildings, enhance our endowment, provide for scholarships, enrich
our academic and athletic offerings, or increase student opportunities, we are grateful for your generous endorsement
of what we do.
In Mercy,
Carey Temple Harrington
