An endowment is a financial account set aside
to provide for the future of the school. The DHS Endowment Fund
currently holds $1.3 million. The principal has been invested in a
broad portfolio to maximize growth, and will never be spent. Income
from the investment is used for scholarships, tuition assistance and
professional development. Endowment fund gifts can come from a variety
of sources, including estate and planned gifts, memorials and gifts of
honor.
Memorials and Gifts of Honor
Family and friends can choose to memorialize or honor loved ones by
sending a gift to Duchesne High School, Office of Community Relations &
Development, 2550 Elm Street, St. Charles, MO 63301. Please provide
name and address of the honoree or the surviving relatives, and we will
send a formal acknowledgement of your gift.

according to pre-established criteria. Gifts to DHS may be directed to a
