The Knight Fund, Bishop O'Connell’s annual fund, sustains excellence by providing unrestricted funding for a host of “mission-critical” elements of our school. These include tuition assistance to one in three families and support for co-curricular programs such as Fine Arts, STEM, and global studies. See below for an infographic on other aspects of our school sustained by the Knight Fund.

Most importantly, Knight Fund gifts help bridge the critical $1,800 gap between what is charged in tuition and the actual cost of educating each student. 

With more than 1,300 parents, alumni, faculty, and friends donating each year, our school can continue its fine tradition of providing an outstanding Catholic education where honesty, compassion, and respect are integral to every student's time here.

Every gift adds up to create a Bishop O'Connell experience unlike any other.
