A Campaign for Raider Excellenceraider_excellence_header.png

Our Vision

Today, we continue our proud legacy of ensuring Raider Excellence– excellence for the whole student – mind, body and soul. We want our students to develop strong minds through our distinctive academic programs, the soul through our dedication to Catholic values, and the body through our strong athletic tradition.

We want our Raiders to be champions in every aspect of their lives. With pride in our past and an eye to the future, we plan to build on our history through the Campaign for Raider Excellence! It is time to enhance our students’ experience and bolster enrollment by making critical improvements to our facilities, while continuing our commitment to vital tuition assistance and merit scholarships for students.

This is no small feat, but with your help, we can embrace the possibilities and ensure Raider excellence in both:

  • The spaces that impact all our students during and after the school day.
  • Supporting the financial needs of the students and their families who seek a CDH education.

 

Our Plan

Work to Be Done

  

Completed
We are still in need of vital tuition assistance and scholarships for our students, as well as upgrades to the following campus areas that are nearing the end of their functional life:
  • Joe Mauer Field House: replace floor and bleachers
  • Pat Dalton Fitness Center: update equipment
  • Wingerd Field: replace turf
  • Shrode Baseball Field and the Softball Field: new seating, batting cages, and dugouts
   Due to the generosity of our early donors, we have already raised 6.1 million of our $11 million goal and have completed the following improvements in September 2024:
  • Health and Wellness Facilities
  • Black Box Theater
  • Main Restrooms

 

Your Investment

To achieve our campaign goals, Cretin-Derham Hall is inviting our entire community to make a gift to our Campaign for Raider Excellence. Your investment will impact current and future students as well as make our school competitive with peer institutions. Naming opportunities are available.

We invite you to prayerfully consider making a meaningful pledge, a gift that is above your current support of Cretin-Derham Hall.
