“We have raised our family of four children in one of the top public school districts in the state, if not the country. Though we are Catholic, our plan was to send our kids to those great public schools all the way through. Nine years ago, that plan changed at the insistence of our oldest, then an eighth grader. Out of the blue, she firmly decided that she wanted Skutt Catholic to be her high school. That decision, made by a 13-year-old, has been one of the best decisions ever made for our family, and changed the course of life for each of her siblings after her, and for our family as a whole.
That eighth grader is now a first-year medical student, with a strong educational background formed at Skutt Catholic. All these years later, her closest group of seven best friends are young women she graduated with at Skutt. Our twin girls are seniors, both thriving on their own very different paths, with their own sets of friends and completely different extracurricular interests. One has had the chance to dance on a double third-place finishing team at nationals, and the other was a state runner up last year in tennis. Both have been allowed to build resumes and academic backgrounds that are helping them immensely now that it’s time to apply for college and scholarships. Our son is a freshman, with plans to play three sports, folded into the Skutt Catholic community already.
That community is what my husband and I appreciate the most. When parents choose to send their children to a particular private high school, and make investments of their personal finances and volunteerism into that school, those investments build a strong and welcoming community and a supportive atmosphere for all the students who go there. This was an unexpected benefit that has changed our lives as well. We are definitely right in the middle of our Skutt Catholic experience at the moment, and we couldn’t be happier with the opportunities our kids have or how their education is preparing them for the future.”

“Once a SkyHawk, Always a SkyHawk.This statement isn’t cliché, it’s the truth. Skutt Catholic is truly a family, and being the youngest of four, I have been blessed to be a part of thatfamily since the beginning. When I think of the Skutt Catholic family I believe it to be rooted in faith, service, and community. The lessons I learned reached far beyond the classroom and prepared me for a life to live as a Christian leader, regardless of the circumstances that I face.
The Skyhawk Fund is a way for me to give back the blessings that I have been given and those blessings would not be possible without Skutt Catholic. I ask that you consider supporting the SkyHawk Fund and together we can soar to new heights.”

“My experience at Skutt Catholic High School was truly life-shaping. It was more than just a place of learning—it was a community where I built lifelong friendships, deepened my Catholic faith and discovered the values that continue to guide me today. The supportive environment and dedicated faculty not only helped me grow spiritually and personally, but also laid a strong foundation for my academic and professional success. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities and experiences I had, and I want others to have the same chance to thrive in a place that nurtures both heart and mind. The SkyHawk Fund helps to ensure the next generation gets the opportunity to soar as a SkyHawk!”

“If you’re asking about the value of a Skutt Catholic education, I’d tell you it’s an investment that pays dividends for a lifetime.
Skutt Catholic didn’t just give me a diploma; it prepared me for the world by instilling core values: Christ, family, and leadership. The emphasis on faith was profound and something I do not take lightly. It wasn’t just in a class, it was in the community, providing a moral compass that has guided my decisions ever since. The focus on family, both the one I was raised in and the one I found among my classmates and teachers taught me the importance of community and support. And the opportunities to lead, whether in the classroom, on the field, or in service projects, honed skills that I use daily in my career and personal life. I wouldn’t be half the woman I am today without the foundation Skutt Catholic gave. I’m beyond thankful.”

“Skutt Catholic High School will always be a meaningful part of our family’s story. As two alumni who met as friends during our time at Skutt Catholic and later built a life and family together, we are deeply grateful for the foundation it provided us. The faith, values, and sense of community we experienced there continue to shape who we are today—not just as individuals, but as a family.
We believe that the spiritual and personal growth we were blessed with at Skutt Catholic is something every student deserves. It’s our hope and prayer that Skutt Catholic continues to thrive and offer future generations the same opportunities to grow in faith, character, and connection.”
