“Building on Faith, Family, and Tradition” – Phase II

In 2018, Pensacola Catholic High School introduced the “Building on Faith, Family, and Tradition” capital campaign in order to provide funding for the numerous major campus improvements identified in the Master Growth Plan. COVID hit us in 2020 and we put the campaign on hold, but now it is time for us to begin Phase II or ‘CC23’ as we might refer to this rejuvenated effort. Thanks to the generous support of many donors in Phase I, we have already made incredible progress toward the list of items that were in the Master Growth Plan. We have recently updated the Master Growth Plan to add some additional needs that have come to light in the past several years and to reprioritize our projects. You can see the full list of projects from both phases below.

We cannot complete these projects without the help and generosity of the entire Catholic High Family. With your donation, we invite you to become a part of the Catholic High legacy by partnering with us in completing these remaining projects. Every donation has a significant impact and helps us to reach our goal. We ask you to prayerfully consider a sacrificial gift that can be paid over a 5-year pledge period.

All donors to the campaign will be recognized in our Annual Report during the next five years as pledges are being paid unless donors wish to remain anonymous. Gifts made in the first phase of the campaign will be added to any new gifts to determine recognition levels.  Be a ‘Pillar of Catholic High’ by donating a minimum of $100/month or $6,000 over the 5-year pledge period to have your name included on a ‘Pillars Plaque’ at the giving levels below. Reference our Gift Calculator linked here to see other periodic gift options that accumulate to provide significant impact to our goal.
