Annual Fund

Donor commits $100,000 to school

An anonymous family has committed a $75,000 challenge gift to the “Annual Principal’s Fund.”  If Mick Hundley, Development Director, can secure forty-four commitments of $2,500.00 a year for three years, the anonymous donor will contribute a total of $75,000 to the school over a three year period.  JUST RECENTLY, THE SAME ANONYMOUS FAMILY INCREASED THEIR COMMITMENT FROM $75,000 TO $100,000! Maur Hill – Mount Academy and its students wish to thank the $100,000 donor and all annual fund supporters!

Technology Updates
This past December, we received a $100,000 gift for technology updates. The updates included twenty-five instructional computers for a mobile lab with a cart, twenty new computers to update our research center, a projection screen to be used for large groups in the auditorium, eight new projectors & cabling, eight new video projectors, nine new document cameras, nine new school pads, eight new wireless electronic white boards for classrooms, and a new server to better meet our needs. These new tools and resources will benefit both our teachers and students in a major way!
