For additional and pre-empt planning, please contact the Director of Finance at 410-822-2275 Ext. 1108
Saints Peter & Paul produces the highest quality Catholic education with tuition rates that are well below the averages of other Diocesan (Baltimore, Washington, Wilmington) and Eastern Shore private schools. However, tuition only covers 81% of the cost of educating our students in grades Pre-K through 12. This means we rely on fundraising initiatives, philanthropic support, and the generous contributions of families and friends to bridge the gap.
Your support strengthens our educational programs and challenges our students toward academic excellence, diversity of experiences, and morally responsible leadership and service. It also allows us to provide professional development for our dedicated faculty, increase tuition assistance, and enhance our technology and facilities.
The Sabres Annual Fund
Your gift—no matter the size—makes an immediate and lasting impact. By contributing to the Sabres Annual Fund, you are not just making a donation; you are investing in the future of every student who walks our halls.
We are committed to fostering the growth of young minds and preparing the leaders of tomorrow. Your support helps us provide the very best in Catholic education—mind, body, and spirit.
Gifts to the Sabres Annual Fund directly support:
- Technology Enhancements – Equipping classrooms and labs with the tools students need for today’s learning environment.
- Scholarships – Making an SSPP education accessible to families who desire a faith-filled, college-preparatory education.
- Capital Improvements – Ensuring our facilities remain safe, modern, and inspiring spaces for growth.
- Professional Development – Empowering our teachers with the tools and training to continue delivering exceptional instruction.
Together, we can build upon our legacy of excellence and ensure that Saints Peter & Paul students are prepared to thrive in all aspects of life.
