The Dunnan Endowment Fund For Financial Aid

After more than 30 years of dedicated service, Father Dunnan has announced his plans to retire in June of 2027, marking the end of a significant chapter in Saint James School's history. The Dunnan Endowment Fund for Financial Aid was established in 2022 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of his appointment as headmaster. We encourage you to honor his legacy of transformational leadership at Saint James by supporting the Dunnan Endowment Fund. 

Fully funded, the Dunnan Fund will allow Saint James to:

  • meet more of its generous financial aid budget independent of tuition.
  • provide additional protection from inflation and increase the financial stability of Saint James.
  • demonstrate to current and future supporters that Saint James is committed to enrolling students to pursue its mission of creating leaders for good in the world for generations to come.
