Dear Crusader Families, Alumni, and Friends,

As we approach the final stretch of the 2024-25 St. Henry District High School Annual Appeal – God In All Things, we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of so many in our community. Because of you, we are closer than ever to meeting our goal—but we’re not there yet. We are just $10,000 short, and we need your help to close the gap by June 30, 2025.

At SHDHS, we are unwavering in our mission to provide a Christ-centered education that inspires students to live lives of faith, service, and leadership. Guided by our core values—Cru-Faith, Cru-Respect, and Cru-Grit—our students, faculty, and staff work every day to make our school community something truly special.

This year, your support has helped us:

• Replace four HVAC units at a cost of over $60,000
• Add four new teaching positions to support increased enrollment.
• Hire a full-time School Resource Officer.
• Install Interactive Smart Televisions in every classroom.
• Prepare for our first Friday Night Lights varsity football game in 2025

But there's still more to do. We need to:

• Expand stadium seating to accommodate our growing fan base
• Update our main lobby and refresh classrooms.
• Continue offering vital tuition assistance.
• Establish a much-needed emergency fund for unexpected costs.

Please prayerfully consider making a gift today. Whether you join us as a Benedictine member, 1933 Society, Legacy, Red & White, or as a cherished Donor, every contribution matters. Check out the new donor recognition levels featured in our Crusader Connection Winter Edition on Page 6.

You can make your gift online at shdhs.org/annualappeal or by mailing a check. Every dollar brings us closer to our goal and directly benefits our students, teachers, and school facilities.

Thank you for being part of the Crusader family. With your continued support and God’s guidance, we know all things are possible. Let’s finish strong—together. 

“God In All Things.”
 —Matthew 28:16-20
