WAYS TO GIVE
Capital Campiagn
St. Richard Catholic School – A Legacy in Mississippi Education Campaign is a way to invest
in Catholic education at St. Richard parish for future generations. Phase I, a renovation of
the school’s lower elementary, was completed in 2010. Funds are being raised for Phase II ,
which will renovate the main entrance and the upper elementary classrooms. The future of
the parish is very closely tied to the future of the school. This investment will keep the school
strong, up-to-date and vibrant.
Annual Academic Appeal
The Annual Academic appeal supports those things in the curriculum that tuition and fundraisers can not. It is an opportunity to
invest in helping the school meeting current operating costs, and to share in the vision of the school’s future.
Donations to the academic appeal:
· Maintain affordable Catholic education
· Provide for educational and technological materials that support and enhance academic programs
· Support arts programs
· Provide faculty and staff professional development
· Hold tuition increases to a minimum
St. Richard Special Kids Program
Since 1980, St. Richard School has provided regular classroom environment and educational
curriculum for mentally, emotionally, and physically handicapped children of all denominations
and faiths from the Metro area. Students may be accepted into the Special Kids Program as
young as four years old. Academics and social skills are the focus of the K4-6th grade program.
Independent living and pre-vocational skills are added to the secondary program for students
ages 13 – 21. The program serves an average of 15 students each year and is an accredited,
non-public special education program. Investing in this program helps support the special kids
who are an important part of the St. Richard community.
