News and Information

Its Not What You Give, but Whether You Give - Annual Fund Video

The Annual Fund bridges the “operational gap” of SMSA, offsetting the necessary funds needed to operate the school outside of revenue from tuition and parish support.  The Annual Fund supports the System’s greatest needs including upgrading technology, advancing curriculum, providing the very best educators and basic needs like lighting and heating.
Please enjoy this video on the Annual Fund from our students.  It is not what you give, but whether you give that makes a difference.  Every cent counts.
Thank you for your support.
