THE NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL BUILDING WILL PROVIDE US WITH:
Welcome to 2026! Together, we begin the year one step closer to bringing our new Middle School building to life. This will be a space designed not simply to house students, but to expand what is possible for their learning, leadership, and growth at St Anne’s.
Thank you for serving as trusted advisors and early champions of the Worthy of Wonder Capital Campaign. Your leadership, wisdom, and belief in the mission of St. Anne’s have helped lay a strong foundation for this historic moment in our school’s life.
To date, we have secured $8.7 million from 43 donors, including a $2 million commitment from the school. As we continue the leadership phase of what will be the largest capital campaign in St Anne’s history, we are boldly inviting additional support to help realize this vision for our students and faculty.
We look forward to sharing quarterly updates as momentum builds and plans continue to take shape. Thank you for walking this path with us Your partnership and insight are deeply valued, and I welcome your continued guidance as we move forward together in faith and purpose.

CONSTRUCTION UPDATES
As part of our continued progress, the school’s administration and Buildings and Grounds Committee have selected a construction partner to guide us through the remaining design phase of the new Middle School building. Following a competitive Request for Proposals process with several qualified construction firms, the school conducted interviews and carefully evaluated each submission before selecting a project partner.
Engaging a construction partner at this stage allows us to refine project costs, strengthen planning, and move thoughtfully toward construction while remaining responsible stewards of the school’s resources. We look forward to keeping you informed as this exciting work continues to advance.
