The revitalization of St. Ann School is part of Cardinal Seán O’Malley’s vision to save our Catholic school system. His vision is to rebuild them, restructure governance, enhance academics and programs, and secure better professional development and compensation for Catholic school teachers.

Our curriculum has been enhanced by Merrimack College, we have created a lay board of area business and education professionals, and our enrollment has increased 76%! We still, however, desire to renovate our 125-year old school building and need your help to make this vision happen. Your gift will truly change the lives of our students and ensure that our school can continue to educate Cape Ann’s youth. We are proud to state that 98% of our graduates, graduate from high school and 90% go on to colleges and universities. Thank you!
