Honor Roll of Donors
“From what we get,
we can make a living;
what we give, however,
makes a life.”
Arthur Robert Ashe, Jr.
Professional Tennis Player
Lacordaire Academy wishes to extend its most heartfelt gratitude to all the parents,
alumnae/i, parents of alumnae/i, grandparents, Sisters of Saint Dominic, friends,
corporations and foundations who contributed during the fiscal year July 1, 2014 to June
30, 2015. It is through the support of these most generous donors that we are able to
sustain our mission by giving our students the highest quality education to empower and
nurture them intellectually, socially, and spiritually. Thank you!
Thank You
IN APPRECIATION OF YOU, AND ALL THAT YOU DO
Letter from the
Head of School
October, 2015
Dear Alums, Parents, Guardians, and Friends,
Thank You! This issue of the Honor Roll of Donors is dedicated to all of our wonderful benefactors who,
during 2014-2015, were essential and most appreciated for their efforts in sustaining and enhancing this
treasured Academy.
This year, we are celebrating our 96th year dedicated to Inspiring Young Minds and Educating
Tomorrow’s Leaders. This past summer throughout the Academy, we continued to focus on improvements
to curriculum, technology, and classroom support structures. Additionally, due to the harsh winter,
portions of our campus are being painted and repaired.
One area that deserves mention is that we have begun the self-study process of our Middle States ReAccreditation. During this year, with valuable feedback from all our community constituents, we will
gather normative and subjective data that will be used to formulate our Middle States goals and objectives.
These objectives will provide the foundation for our next strategic plan. This important self-study is an
important strategic process; the resulting planning documents, culminating in the fall of 2017, will provide
the focus and priorities for the Academy well beyond our 2020 centennial celebration! Quite an exciting
and important Academy endeavor!
The Academy, with your help, will continue to fulfill its mission and honor its commitment to
maintain a tradition of excellence while keeping tuition affordable for all families. Donations to the Annual
Fund support the current school year's programming and operations. As an Independent Catholic school,
the Academy is not subsidized by a church, parish, or the Archdiocese. We are fully self-supporting
through tuition, grants, individual donations, community support, and fundraisers.
In sum, with your continued assistance, we will continue to enrich our academic programs, expand our
extracurricular activities, and help bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating our
students. We remain grateful for your financial support and hope that we can count on you to help us
continue the Dominican mission—To Praise, To Preach and To Bless. Once again, on behalf of the entire
Lacordaire Academy community, I deeply appreciate your trust, generosity, concern, and support for our
school.
Best,
Brian F. Morgan
