Annual Fund

Continuing the Prince of Peace Catholic Schools tradition of academic excellence requires the ability to attract and retain the most qualified students—regardless of their financial circumstance. With more than $300,000 needed to meet the yearly financial demand, it is imperative that we support the Prince of Peace Catholic Schools Annual Fund and the significant role it plays in the lives of our students.

The Prince of Peace Catholic Schools Annual Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Catholic education. Contributions to the fund support financial aid, competitive faculty salaries, excellence in academics, athletics, arts and student life.

Annual gifts made through The Annual Fund have a powerful impact on the experience of every student at Pope John XXIII and Shawe Memorial.
