2025–2026 Annual Appeal

Thank You for Your Generous Support!

Thank you for supporting Everest Academy’s 2025–2026 Annual Appeal. Your generosity and continued commitment make a meaningful difference for our students and our school community.

Looking Ahead

Please come back to support our 2026–2027 Annual Appeal, beginning Ash Wednesday and continuing through Easter Saturday!

Building God’s Kingdom Through Faith, Excellence, and Service

We are blessed to have a thriving community where our students learn, grow, and flourish in an environment deeply centered on Christ’s love. Each day, through prayer, sacraments, and academic excellence, we equip our children to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world.

Providing a high-quality Catholic education rooted in both strong academics and faith formation requires substantial resources. While tuition covers a portion of these costs, it leaves a gap of $2,871 per student. To continue offering exceptional programs that allow our students to grow in grace, we rely on the generosity of our Everest families, friends, and community through our Annual Appeal.

This year, our Annual Appeal will align with the Lenten season, officially running from Ash Wednesday through Good Friday. As we prepare for this sacred time, we invite you to prayerfully consider making a gift—whether now or during Lent—as a reflection of faith, sacrifice, and support for our mission.

Why Your Support Matters

Reflecting on the words of St. Peter, we are reminded of our mission at Everest Academy: to nurture our children in both faith and knowledge, helping them grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. This growth is not just an individual journey but a collective effort in building God’s Kingdom here on earth.

Your donation directly supports:
  • Teacher Retention & Development: More than half of every dollar raised goes directly toward paying the salaries of our dedicated teachers. Despite the potential for higher wages in public schools, our faculty have chosen to commit their talents to forming our students in a Christ-centered environment. Your generosity helps us retain and support these exceptional educators.
  • Scholarships & Tuition Assistance: Over 10% of every donation helps fund scholarships and tuition assistance programs, ensuring that an exceptional Catholic education remains accessible to all families, including those facing financial challenges. By contributing, you help ensure that no child is denied the opportunity to grow in faith and knowledge at Everest Academy.

What is the Everest Academy Annual Appeal?

The Everest Academy Annual Appeal aims to provide support for our school's mission to foster intellectual growth, human formation, spiritual development, and apostolic outreach.
