Cincinnati – From April 22 – 24, six area all-girls Catholic high schools – Mercy McAuley, Mount Notre Dame, Notre Dame Academy, Saint Ursula Academy, Seton, and Ursuline Academy – are teaming up for the 5th annual city-wide campaign called Girls’ Schools Unite. The fundraising campaign seeks to raise awareness and financial support for all-girls Catholic education in Greater Cincinnati. The campaign calls on alumnae from each school to make a gift to their high school alma mater; all donations will support the schools’ annual funds, which provide financial assistance, scholarships and campus improvements for current and future students. The high school with the highest percentage of alumnae participation will be “crowned” the winner on April 26, 2024.

Since the campaign’s first year in 2020, the high schools together have raised

$1,646,768 in support of all-girls Catholic education in Greater Cincinnati.

Alumnae can make a gift online at the website of their alma mater anytime from April 22 – 24, or they may mail a check dated between April 22 – 24 to their school. The schools’ websites are:

• Mercy McAuley – mercymcauley.org
• Mount Notre Dame – mndhs.org
• Notre Dame Academy – ndapandas.org
• Saint Ursula Academy – saintursula.org
• Seton – setoncincinnati.org
