St Mary's Garden Gala - Celebrating 125 Years
Gala/Party for St Mary's SchoolMar 01, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 11:30 PM

Saint Mary’s School will be hosting its annual Gala on March 1, 2025 at 6:00pm on our campus, in celebration of our 125th school year! Your generous donation to our auction would be greatly appreciated. Auction donors from last year’s event made a difference in our school and we are ever grateful for their kindness and support.
Saint Mary’s Gala is a 501(c)3 entity (Tax ID #57-0426237) so your donation is tax deductible. Auction donors are recognized on our auction website sent to all school families, church parishioners, and available to 300+ attendees at our event. This is a great way to give back to children’s education all while receiving excellent marketing for your company!
Tuition covers only 80% of the cost to educate a student. Saint Mary’s depends on donations from alumni and fundraisers to cover the difference. Our major fundraisers (Annual Fund, Gala, and Golf Classic) attempt to close the gap on daily operations, fund capital projects, and provide tuition assistance to families in need. The 2025 Gala proceeds will go towards the renovation of the plaza between Mercy and Gallivan Halls including the construction of a covered walkway and other capital projects that may arise.
Saint Mary’s School is proud of its 125-year history of offering an outstanding education at an affordable price. While our students are primarily Catholic, Saint Mary’s also welcomes families of other denominations. The majority of our students are citizens of Greenville County, but other counties such as Pickens, Spartanburg, and Laurens are also represented. All ethnicities are welcomed, and we enjoy the gifts diversity brings. Saint Mary’s is blessed with an excellent faculty and staff who impart wisdom and knowledge while helping children to grow in faith and virtue. The United States Department of Education recently recognized our success by designating Saint Mary’s as a National Blue Ribbon School in 2020.
