145 years of Educating Her
Think back to your first week at OLP.
1960sThe Sisters moved through the halls in full habit.
1980sYour biggest worry was passing skirt-length inspection.
1990sYou hunted for your locker, pretending you knew the way.
TodayYour daughter, your niece, your neighbor is finding hers.
Wherever you started, you probably remember the moment it changed. A teacher who stopped you after class and said, “You should try out for that.” A Sister who noticed you were quieter than usual and asked why. A girl at the lunch table who became the friend you still call.
Somewhere along the way, OLP stopped being a school you went to and became a place that knew you.
That moment is happening right now, to a girl sitting in your seat.
- She’s a freshman who hasn’t found her voice yet.
- She’s a junior deciding whether she’s brave enough to raise her hand for something big.
- She’s a senior about to open her college acceptance letters, because 100% of OLP seniors are accepted to college.
What she doesn’t know is that the families, alumnae, and friends who came before her helped make sure she could be here. For 145 years, that has been the quiet promise of OLP: every generation holds the door open for the next.
Tuition educates her.
Philanthropy empowers her.
Every gift, at any level, keeps the door open for the next girl who walks in.
Make Your GiftChoose the fund closest to your heart
Your gift can meet OLP’s greatest needs or go exactly where it means the most to you.
Carondelet Annual FundMeets the school’s greatest needs each year: tuition assistance, classroom resources, and the professional development that keeps our faculty the kind of teachers you still remember.
Tuition AssistanceMakes an OLP education possible for girls whose families need a hand.
OLP Angel FundSteps in quietly when a student’s family faces an unexpected hardship.
OLP Endowment FundStrengthens OLP’s foundation for the next 145 years.
Alumnae Endowed Scholarship FundAlumnae helping the girls who come after them.
An endowed gift is invested rather than spent, so it keeps giving year after year. A gift you make today can help a girl in the Class of 2030, a girl in the Class of 2060, and girls whose mothers haven’t been born yet. You don’t have to know her name. You already know her story, because it was yours once.
