From Our President

Dear Members of The Ursuline School Community,

As we celebrate our 125th year, we are enormously grateful for the remarkable generosity of so many of you, our Ursuline donors. Your kind support of The Ursuline School is present in each and every step we take to deliver on our shared mission of educating, inspiring, and empowering young women in the Ursuline tradition. Your faith in our mission and your steadfast belief in the limitless potential of our students lead us to amazing places as we seek new ways to help young women navigate a changing world with character and confidence. In doing so, we prepare our graduates to go forth and serve the community and the world at large in the spirit of St. Angela Merici.

Your generous contributions to the Innovation Campaign have ensured excellence in programming and operations throughout the year, impacting every student and contributing to her ultimate success. Our emphasis on the holistic development of every girl runs deep at Ursuline and is reflected in the programs that embrace the timeless Core Values of an Ursuline education. Thanks to you, our generous benefactors, each new investment in technology, professional learning, and campus improvement results in measurable student success, today, tomorrow, and beyond. Together, we are building Ursuline to new heights. We can look back at our 125 years with pride and look ahead with great confidence, enthusiasm, and hope. Know that it is by your loyalty and generosity to the Annual Fund and to the Innovation Campaign that The Ursuline School will continue to shine, allowing us to offer innovative programs, unique experiences, and world-class facilities that would not be possible through tuition revenue alone.

I am deeply grateful for all you have done and continue to do, to keep the spirit of Serviam strong. Throughout the pages of this Donor Report, we share stories about current students who have been inspired by your loving generosity. Thanks to you, these students have seen up close what giving looks like and have felt first-hand the joy it can bring. Your generosity inspires them in a variety of meaningful ways. It is further evidence that our rich Ursuline tradition of excellence is at the heart of who we are, what we do, and why we are here, for 125 years and counting.

Gratefully yours,

Dr. Colleen Melnyk P’18 President

The 125 Years of Excellence Annual Fund Campaign has touched each and every Ursuline student, creating opportunities in the arts, athletics, global education, technology, and service — all while continuing to strengthen and build upon 125 years of tradition rooted in the spirit of St. Angela. Thanks to the ongoing generosity of our benefactors, The Ursuline School‘s long-standing tradition of excellence continues. Fueled by the steadfast support of our current parents, grandparents, alumnae, parents of alumnae, trustees, faculty, staff, and friends, Ursuline is truly a family committed to delivering on its mission to educate, inspire, and empower students one donation at a time. Each and every gift, no matter how big or small, directly contributes to the ultimate success of our students. In the pages of this Donor Report, you will find stories about how your choice to give makes a difference at Ursuline in both tangible and intangible ways. Together, we rejoice in celebrating our rich history and storied past and look to elevate current students by further enhancing the Ursuline experience. In doing so, know that your generosity inspires current students to seek and find how they too can pay it forward.

Thank you for your loving support of our shared home, The Ursuline School — now 125 and counting!
