St. Charles Preparatory School - The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education
scnav2.gif
 


Welcome to the Alumni & Development Office

The Alumni & Development Office of St. Charles Preparatory School works to maintain and steward the pledge made by the school’s founder, Bishop James J. Hartley, that no qualified Catholic young man seeking a St. Charles education would be denied entrance because of a family’s economic means. The school’s earliest prospectus declared a goal of “giving students a complete, thorough, and sound classical training.” Today, those same words are found in the St. Charles student handbook.

As a friend or alumnus, you can help St. Charles with this charge in four different ways. First, you can be great ambassadors for the school by speaking highly of St. Charles to those outside of our school community. Second, you can volunteer your time and expertise with a group like the St. Charles Mothers Club or the St. Charles Alumni Association. Third, you can support St. Charles financially by helping build an endowment or providing a gift to The Campaign for St. Charles. Finally, you can offer your prayers for the students, faculty, staff, alumni and parents of St. Charles.

If we can be of help, or you wish to share your thoughts and ideas with us regarding the school, please contact our office by e-mail, by phone (614) 252-9288, or U.S. Mail at 2010 East Broad Street, Cols., OH 43209.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Winter Drama Department production:
The St. Charles Drama Department is proud
to announce it will present the Columbus and Central Ohio premiere of Elephant’s Graveyard by George Brant. The drama will be presented February 23, 24 & 25 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, February 26 at 3:00 p.m. in the Campus Theatre. Adult tickets are $10 each, and student tickets are $5 each. Reservations may be placed by calling the school's main office at 614/252-6714 between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Elephant’s Graveyard is the true tale of the tragic collision of a struggling circus and a tiny town in

1916, the play combines historical fact and legend, exploring the deep-seated American craving for spectacle, violence, and revenge.
