St. Andrew’s Regional High School Grand Opening

On May 27th, 2022, St. Andrew’s Regional High School hosted its Donor Appreciation and Grand Opening event. It was wonderful to open the doors and welcome so many of our supporters and community members to the school. The highlights of this event included tours of the new Fine Arts Wing, speeches by Bishop Gary Gordon and Principal Glen Palahicky, and special performances by the incredibly talented St. Andrew’s Regional High School band and award-winning choir. Delicious food and building tours were enjoyed by all. The building of this new space was made possible by the generous donations of many patrons who are recognized on a new Donor Wall in the foyer.

The next stage in the Building on Success Campaign is to raise funds to provide a top-notch athletics field to support the skill development, physical literacy, and dreams and ambitions of students in athletics. We are incredibly grateful for the support that our donors and community provide our schools.
