Continuing -R- Tradition Annual Fund Campaign

The 2011-2012 Annual Fund, Continuing -R- Tradition, has an established goal of $420,000 to help fund projects which are necessary to the mission of Roncalli High School. These projects will enhance the educational experience of current and future students for generations to come.

Facility ImprovementsOver the past 15 years, Roncalli has made many improvements to the physical structure of the school, as well as building several new additions to the school and campus. This year, Roncalli will continue with that tradition of improving the facilities that our students use on a daily basis. Renovations to the block house are greatly needed for space, safety and health concerns. Also, a new wrestling area, weight room and athletic training area will be added to the existing auxiliary gymnasium/locker room area.

Teacher TrainingTeacher training and continuing education are vital to our academic programs. The Annual Fund will add $5,000 to fund teacher pilgrimages to walk in the footsteps of our namesake Pope John XXIII.

Financial AidIn addition, with an increase in the number of students attending Roncalli High School, there is an increase in the need for financial assistance to offset the cost of tuition for RHS families in need of aid. The Annual Fund this year will raise $185,000 towards the overall $800,000 that will be disbursed to families requiring financial assistance. Other fundraisers throughout the school year, Walkathon and Rebelation, will also contribute to tuition assistance.

EndowmentFuture needs of Roncalli High School can be supported financially through the school’s endowment. Adding funds each school year will grow the endowment so that the interest gained can be used to provide tuition assistance. Also, Roncalli families are working at Lucas Oil Stadium and Victory Field in the concession stands. The money that Roncalli earns from these events will be invested in the school’s Financial Aid Endowment. This year’s Annual Fund will match that money by adding an additional $30,000 to the Financial Aid Endowment.
