EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING AT BLESSED SACRAMENT HUGUENOT
$8.25M Renovation Begins Summer ‘22
Academics | Arts | Athletics
Blessed Sacrament Huguenot is the only private, coed, Early Learners through Grade 12 Catholic school in the Greater Richmond Area. As the school grows, we remain true to our mission to provide a broad, values-based curriculum that celebrates individual talents, challenges academic intellect and prepares students for success at the university level and in life.
Phase 1 Complete with 35% Growth
An unexpected $2M gift from a BSH family in 2019 ignited the first phase of strategic growth since the school’s merger, and laid the foundation for expansion. Facility and technology upgrades, combined with increased marketing efforts resulted in enrollment growth of over 35%. With projections to pass 400 students this fall - we’re eager to embark on the next phase of growth supported by the Knight’s Charge Capital Campaign.
Announcing our
KNIGHT’S CHARGE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
We are excited to launch our Knight’s Charge Capital Campaign, in conjunction with Bishop Knestout’s Learn to Lead campaign, to complete the campus improvements that will significantly enhance how we serve the children in our care now and attract students in the future.
The most ambitious initiative undertaken by the school to date, this endeavor will transform our campus while improving our quality of education in the areas of academics, arts and athletics.
*$6.25M has already been raised for Knight’s Charge through a combination of monies from the Brower Family, the Catholic Diocese of Richmond and school operating funds.
