THE PLANNING
The planning for Marian for the Generations involved the determined efforts of the Board of Directors, the campaign Ambassador and Building Committees, and Marian’s Leadership Team over the past several years. It involved over 400 passionate alumnae, alumnae parents, and current parents who participated in an online survey and a series of assessment interviews.
THE VISION
Flowing out of our strategic plan, Marian for the Generations is a transformative initiative aimed at modernizing our school facilities and growing our endowment. The cornerstone of this campaign includes a comprehensive renovation of the 200 Hall to create a state-of-the-art STEM Center and the transformation of our A-Wing into a home for the visual arts. Additional improvements include new windows and HVAC systems in all classrooms.
These improvements will provide a healthy and safe learning environment that integrates science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM). By offering cutting-edge facilities and dedicated creative spaces, this campaign reflects our commitment to preparing students for the future while nurturing their creativity, critical thinking, and innovation. This holistic approach ensures every student has the tools and opportunities to thrive academically, artistically, and personally, shaping them into well-rounded leaders for generations to come.
