Philippine Duchesne, you were a pioneer woman, called to join a pioneer endeavor to explore, to begin, to expand the educational frontiers of the new world.
To my Pioneer Family,
At Duchesne High School, we believe in the power of tradition, faith, and community. These values have sustained our mission for more than a century, and they continue to inspire generations of Pioneers today.
Last year, we introduced the Class Challenge as part of our annual Pioneer Fund campaign. The response was incredible – alumni from across the decades stepped up to give back, celebrate their class pride, and make a difference in the lives of our students. This year, we’re raising the stakes. We’re asking each class to double their number of donors and double their impact.
Whether you are a long-time supporter or have never given before, now is the time. A gift of just $50 – the cost of a week of morning coffees or one dinner out – can help provide retreat experiences, tuition assistance, and resources that support our faculty and staff. Every dollar makes a difference. Every donor matters.
We also encourage you to consider a recurring monthly gift, which provides dependable support we can count on all year long. It’s easy, automatic, and helps us plan more effectively for the needs of our students and teachers.
Your gift to the Pioneer Fund is more than a donation – it's a commitment to Catholic education, to our dedicated faculty, and to the bright futures being shaped every day in our classrooms and hallways.
As St. Rose Philippine Duchesne once said, "We cultivate a very small field for Christ, but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements, but a heart that holds back nothing for self."
Your generosity is that selfless heart in action. Please prayerfully consider making a gift to the Pioneer Fund today. If you have any questions, you’re always welcome to reach out to me directly, or contact Becky Williamson, our Director of Advancement, at 636.757.6931.
Together, we can make a lasting difference for Duchesne.
Respectfully,
Paul Boschert ’77, President
