Senior Class Giving Campaign

Spring is here – and with it comes the “reward” for Seniors to wear their polo shirts as they prepare for Commencement next month. After observing their time here, it is hoped that they are reminded of the generosity and partnership exhibited by the alumni, faculty, staff, parents and friends in making their dreams and aspirations possible. 

This year, as our seniors count down the days to becoming official HGP Alumni, we encourage them to join together by making a gift to the school and the students who follow them.  The Senior Class Campaign is dedicated to raising enough dollars to donate a new gas grill to the Holy Ghost community – along with a plaque that recognizes the Class of 2015. 

Our goal must be met by April 30th in order for our Seniors to unveil their gift at the Senior Luau on Friday, May 1st. For students to make a gift online toward this campaign, click here or contact Alexis Gettings, Director of Annual Giving and Alumni Engagement at agettings@holyghostprep.org or by phone at 215-639-2102, ext. 204.
