Founders’ Circle

The Founders’ Circle comprises donors who display exceptional interest in the advancement of the school by virtue of their gift of $1,000 or more. It recognizes the financial stewardship that many members of our community play in supporting the school’s operating and capital needs. Their generosity serves as inspiration and is most appreciated.

Legacy Society donors have an unwavering belief in the vision and future of Northwest Catholic. Gifts in this Society are often allocated for capital improvements or endowed scholarships. Many of these generous gifts originate from thoughtful estate planning or a special bequest.

Presidents’ Society members demonstrate exceptional generosity, faith in our vision, and a strong commitment to the mission and values of our school.

As the school’s first President, Rev. Henry C. Frascadore initiated the Annual Fund and pioneered the development of the Northwest Catholic Endowment Fund. As a result, the school grew tremendously, and today’s students continue to enjoy the fruits of these programs.

During his time at Northwest Catholic, Rev. Bradford Colton, the first principal, was an exemplary leader, educator, and mentor to many students. He lived the mission of our school with humbling grace and dedicated his life to educating others.

NWC opened its doors in 1961, thanks in part to the vision and support of Most Rev. Henry J. O’Brien, Archbishop of Hartford at the time. Gifts from the members of this society make a notable impact on the growth and progression of our school and inspire others to invest in its future.

Every fan of Northwest Catholic knows that green and white are as popular today as they were in 1961, when they made their debut as our school colors.

In 1961, eight Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs devoted their time and energy to educating the young minds of Northwest Catholic students. Their guidance provided the foundation for the growth and development of the student body.
