Be the Good - Support the Lancer Annual Fund
For 66 years, the greatest measure of a Salpointe Catholic education remains the successes of our Lancer students. Salpointe’s rich legacy and bright future are grounded in our sacred mission, dedicated faculty and staff, 16,000+ alumni worldwide and 1,130 current students eager to reach their full potential.

Salpointe was founded in the spirit of visionary philanthropy and Catholic, Carmelite values. Providing an unparalleled holistic, college-prep education requires that the Salpointe community remain inspired, involved and invested for the good of the Lancers. Your support makes it possible for students to learn from dedicated faculty in small classes, experience innovative curriculum, form a deep understanding of their faith, and graduate prepared for college, the workforce and life.

The Lancer Annual Fund is Salpointe Catholic High School’s fundraising priority. Salpointe relies on annual, tax-deductible donations to help supplement the school’s budget for initiatives that tuition does not fully cover. Tuition meets 80% of the school’s annual operating budget, while gifts to the Lancer Annual Fund assist with the remaining 20%. Your participation in the Lancer Annual Fund demonstrates your belief in the mission of Salpointe.

Whether you support student spiritual formation, technology and innovation, financial aid or direct your dollars to where they are needed most--your gift matters, regardless of the amount, from $5 to $500!

We invite you to read the Lancer Annual Fund brochure to learn more about how your gift to the Lancer Annual Fund impacts the lives of students. Make your gift online at www.salpointe.org/Lancer-Annual-Fund, mail a check or call (520) 547-5878 to make a donation over the phone.

Please keep an eye out! You should have also received an invitation by mail to participate in the Lancer Annual Fund. To those who have already made a gift, THANK YOU!

Invest in the good of the Lancers! Please make your gift to the Lancer Annual Fund by December 31.

More than 1.6 million juniors competed for the National Merit Program by taking the PSAT last fall. Those that reached the level of Semifinalist represent less than 1% of U.S. high school seniors. In Arizona, the PSAT cutoff score to become a semi-finalist last year was 219. To move to the finalist round, students must have an outstanding academic record and earn high scores on the SAT Reasoning Test. We are very proud of our Lancer scholars!
