Illuminating Excellence: The Campaign for Boston College High School

Since its founding in 1863, Boston College High School has formed young men of conscience, competence, and compassion, grounded in the Jesuit tradition and called to lead lives of purpose. Building on this enduring legacy, BC High proudly launched Illuminating Excellence, a historic capital campaign that will strengthen every dimension of the student experience. Through transformative investments in human excellence, expanded access and affordability through scholarships, and landmark enhancements to our physical campus, this campaign will ensure that a BC High education remains both exceptional and attainable for generations to come.

 

The Illuminating Excellence campaign celebrates the compassion, spirit, and generosity of the entire BC High community. Every gift to the campaign honors our Jesuit, Catholic values by changing the trajectory of young men's lives for the better.”
—Grace Cotter Regan P’12, President

Boston College High School invites you to partner with us in the Illuminating Excellence campaign through an online gift, a planned or estate gift, or a personal conversation with our Advancement team. Centered on expanding access and affordability, strengthening our campus, and forming young men for others, the campaign offers meaningful opportunities to align your philanthropy with the areas and affinities you care about most.

Campaign Initiatives

Inspiring human excellence

BC High has a proud tradition of transforming promising boys into capable, caring men. To sustain our leadership in educating the whole person, we must evolve our program of student formation to reflect the world where our graduates will lead and serve.

Improving access and affordability

Our alumni often describe how they were transformed by the commitment of an adult who believed in their potential. Those transformational opportunities are a direct result of the generosity of devoted alumni and friends who make the dream of a BC High education achievable.

Investing in our campus

Educating the whole student requires engaging their heads, hands, and hearts; strengthening their minds, bodies, and intellect; and offering physical resources that help them flourish individually and as part of a community or team.
