Walsh Jesuit High School - Capital Campaign

Capital Campaign

Walsh Jesuit High School officially launched a $10 million capital campaign on Saturday, September 24, 2006. The campaign — For the Greater Glory of God — will raise nearly $2 million toward the educational endowment and more than $8 million toward construction and renovation of the school and chapel. Some improvements include:

1. Add $1.7 million to the current endowment, meaning an additional $85,000 in financial aid would be available each year
2. Allocate $8.3 million toward physical changes, including the:

• construction of a new entry and two administrative wings, complete with a statue of St. Ignatius, skylights, and display cases
• construction of a new fine arts center, featuring expanded backstage areas, new dressing rooms, and centralized facilities for the school’s choirs and bands, all anchored by a renovated theater
• construction of a new fitness center on the mezzanine level of the Ricco Fieldhouse that would be open to all students, faculty, and staff
• renovation of the school’s commons, with updates to the kitchen, restrooms, and bookstore
• renovation and expansion of the chapel to accommodate the entire student body, while maintaining the chapel’s structural integrity
