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. Annual Appeal dollars afford us the ability to provide our students with a superior and challenging academic program and school climate that reaches far beyond textbooks and worksheets. We continuously strive to keep current with the latest technology used by both teachers and students in our instruction and application of skills. IPads, Chromebooks, Interactive Touch Screens, Lego Robotics and 3D printing are just part of our interactive classrooms.
Your generosity has paved the way for us to make necessary and exciting updates to our campus in previous years such as our Cat Cafe renovation, beautiful fencing surrounding the school property and new landscaping. This year holds many challenges for our school in creating and managing protocols that will keep our students and staff safe. Your donation to our Annual Appeal this year will assist in offsetting the cost to implement protocols that will keep our school safe and open during these unprecedented times.
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. No family pays the full cost tuition to educate a student at St. Anne. 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. In a world where we can be anything, we choose to be a St. Anne Wildcat! ! Please consider donating today.
Many blessings to each of you,
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.

When Hurricane Laura closed our school in Lake Charles, our prayers were answered when St. Anne Catholic School opened their doors to us. We were welcomed with open arms. Our girls have absolutely thrived attending this school. Every morning our children hear, “Welcome, we are so happy to see you today.” St. Anne families invited us to get to know their families. We will be forever grateful to the faculty, staff, and other families for demonstrating the love of Christ to us.

There are many reasons our family is thankful for St. Anne Catholic School. The sense of community and parent involvement creates an environment where children feel safe, nurtured, supported, and helps mold them for a successful future. Because of the smaller class sizes, students and teachers are able to develop close relationships, and focus on the whole child. The academic education and strong religious foundation they receive reinforces our family values. We could not be more pleased with our experience at SAS.

I am so thankful for the leadership of Ms. Kiker and her wonderful team of educators. I stand in awe of the amazing and awesome teachers at SAS. Even during this “not so normal” year of 2020, the bar was still set high for academic excellence and a closer relationship with God. My girls and I are blessed and favored to be a part of the SAS Family!

Like my parents and grandparents that also chose St. Anne Catholic School, we are so thankful that our children are able to build a strong moral foundation through daily exposure to our faith.

We love that SAS provides our boys a solid background of faith to grow on while also giving them a strong, loving, and protective community of teachers and friends to grow with.
