Capital Campaign

In the Home Stretch: Our Final Project

The Forward, Always Forward Capital Campaign, which publicly began in August 2014, is quickly approaching its conclusion. With $17.4 million presently raised in cash and pledges towards the goal of $20+ million, fundraising for the final project is underway - security, parking, and campus entrance.

The entrance to our school has remained the same since we opened the Seawright Drive campus in the fall of 1963. A handsome new fence with brick columns and black aluminum railing will refine the entrance to our campus and bolster our security. The old parking lot will be demolished and a brand new one will expand our available parking from 210 to over 400 spaces. These projects will also provide much-needed curb appeal and properly reflect the image and reputation of Benedictine Military School.

The Forward, Always Forward Capital Campaign has become the largest fundraising effort in school history. It was built on a foundation of financial stability adding no long-term debt to the school.
