Dear St. Anne Friends,
Here at St. Anne, we are thankful for the blessing of families that entrust us with their most precious gifts and for a safe, loving and faith-filled environment in which we are able to help them excel both academically and in their faith. We also begin each day with a thankful heart for each of you as you steadfastly give through, time, talent and prayer to our school and to our students. The return on such an investment and example is immeasurable in assisting us to raise students at the highest level of academic excellence and moral compass as well as faith-filled students with a heart for giving for a lifetime. We are so blessed by each of you in all the ways you give to St. Anne.
Giving through monetary donation to our school provides donors with the most direct and significant way to impact key points of our mission not fully funded by our operating budget.
Your generous donations to our Annual Appeal also allow us to keep St. Anne both affordable and accessible to all families, those currently enrolled as well as those considering Catholic education. Annual Appeal dollars provide a silent scholarship for each of our students so that we may continue to offer a sliding tuition scale based on each family’s ability to pay.
Your faithfulness in giving to our school helps to ensure its sustainability and future growth. Please consider donating today.
Many Blessings to each of you,
Alison Kiker
Since 1937, St. Anne Catholic School has served the Diocese of Beaumont, the city of Beaumont, and the surrounding communities. Our school provides a superior standard of academic excellence preparing students to succeed in a rigorous secondary education and to be faithful, lifelong Catholics. Students excel in a nurturing, safe, and traditional Catholic school climate that celebrates faith, diversity, leadership, and service to others.
The SAS Annual Fund is a coordinated effort to raise unrestricted gifts in order to ensure our school’s viability and to continue reaching its full potential. Unlike tuition and other fundraisers, your Annual Fund contribution is tax deductible to the full extent of the law.
One hundred percent of the funds raised remain in our school. Unlike public schools, St. Anne operates without the financial support of any tax base or federal entity. The current annual cost to educate a child at St. Anne is $7,539, while the average tuition collected is $5,629. Therefore, we rely on the Annual Fund to keep our school operating, to keep up with the latest trends in technology, and to remain the beacon of academic, faith formation and athletic excellence in Southeast Texas.
Every member of the St. Anne Catholic School community is asked to participate in the Annual Fund. This includes faculty, staff, administration, board members, parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends of the school. Our school board as well as our faculty and staff have participated 100% in donating to this year’s Annual Appeal.

We love that St. Anne Catholic School provides our girls (Skylar 7th & Jaci 4th) a nurturing school community with great friends and teachers. We chose this school knowing that our children would be able to build a strong, religious foundation and for that we are forever thankful.
Our four children--Haylie (11), Jillian (9), Benjamin (8), and Gavin (2.5)--are/will be first generation St. Anne School students. The 2021-2022 school year has been our first year attending private Catholic school, and the experience in this short amount of time has been invaluable. The academic rigor of St. Anne School has far exceeded our expectations, but more importantly, our children are learning in an environment dedicated to demonstrating the love of Christ. It is apparent that the belief in the "dignity of the human person" is the foundation of St. Anne School, and this tone is set by the teachers and administrators who serve our children. We are so thankful that God has led us to St. Anne School!
When we moved to the area in early 2017, St. Anne Catholic School was the first on the list of schools to visit as we searched for schools. After visiting the school, we decided not to search anymore and selected St. Anne Catholic School. Now, more than 4 years later, we confidently say that we made the right choice. We are thankful for St. Anne Catholic School for the professionalism of the entire staff and administration, the strong academic and scientific foundation, and the feeling of safety and security that our children experience at the school.
Thank You St. Anne Catholic School.
Karim, Naima, Zeina (9), Hana (6), and Ali (3)
Our journey at St. Anne Catholic School began in the fall of 2005 when our oldest child, Benjamin, entered 6th grade. Two years later, Abigail followed. In 2017, Erin became a Wildcat when Wendy started teaching 5th grade. The blessings continued when Tommy joined the staff in 2021. We've made many memories over the years, and we look forward to making more!
We’re thankful for a school that nurtures our children and places an emphasis on communicating with their families. We appreciate that St. Anne cares about creating well-rounded children and the unique opportunities the school provides to accomplish that goal, like The Giving Field.

Thirty two years ago our parents made the decision to send their children to St. Anne Catholic School. This decision helped form my brothers and sister into the people we are today. When the time came to make a decision as to where to send our children, St. Anne Catholic School was a natural choice. We are proud that our children get to walk down the same halls as we did, and even have some of the same teachers! The values instilled at St. Anne Catholic School go well beyond traditional education. St. Anne Catholic School lays the foundation for children to become virtuous, moral citizens. We are thankful that we are able to send our children to a multigenerational school that one day they will be able to send their children to.
