The Campaign for the Prep, and resulting enhancements, enabled St. Joseph Prep to lower its average class size, simplify scheduling, expand curriculum and Fine Arts programs, and provide an all-around improved learning environment. By renovating a historic but long-unused five-story building and linking it to the existing school, the Prep discovered ways to fuse the old with the new, maintaining meaningful features of the original structure while creating a modern place for learning. These state-of-the-art improvements help the Prep live its mission every day as the school develops leaders of intellectual distinction, men of faith and integrity, men who are open to personal growth, and committed to social justice and community service. CCS was proud to partner with the leadership and community of St. Joseph’s Prep for this exciting and historic achievement. The Campaign for the Prep achieved its $30 million goal and the effort stands as the largest, most successful campaign in the school’s history.
