PARENT ANNUAL GIVING

De Smet Jesuit asks each family to prayerfully consider filling the tuition gap, which is the difference between the cost to educate a student and the actual tuition charged. For this school year, that amount is $3,400 per student.

Funds raised beyond tuition provide game-changing programs and facility improvements. These gifts directly impact the areas of greatest need, which include

  • Classroom upgrades
  • Facility improvements
  • Advanced technology
  • Faith formation
  • The Arts
  • Athletics

Please help us reach 100% parent participation this school year.
