Each year, I am reminded again and again how fortunate all of us at BC High are to have a strong foundation upon which we rely. This bedrock is formed by many things – our faith, our vibrant academic program in the 500+ year-old Jesuit tradition, and our shared vision for our boys to become contemplatives in action.
But as we share this annual report with you, what inspires me most is the commitment of so many of our alumni, parents, friends, families, and faculty and staff whose gifts make our school stronger. It has been thrilling to celebrate with you the transformational gifts made by the Patrick F. Cadigan Family Foundation to build a new Wellness Complex, John V. Murphy ’67, P’98 to build the new Murphy Family Stadium, and Michael D. White ’70 to invest in leadership, financial aid, and the House System. The collective momentum of these gifts sets BC High on a path towards excellence. But, it is the support from our entire community of donors that shows the power of many individuals coming together for a common goal – that is, to provide the very best Jesuit, Catholic formation for a generation of promising young men from Boston and beyond.
In a time when the world continues to feel uncertain, you have made the decision to support our students and our community in ways that go beyond financial contributions. Thank you for your gifts, your loyalty, and your commitment to our shared mission.
With heartfelt thanks,
We give to BC High because BC High has provided our family and countless others with extraordinary opportunities for our sons to grow and excel as students, athletes, and young men. We are fortunate to be a part of the very special BC High community, and our financial support is one way, and an important way, that we can give back."

BC High gratefully recognizes our donors who generously gave $10,000 or more in outright gifts of cash, securities, and property in the past year. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to our mission.
I prioritize giving back to BC High because of the investment BC High made in me during my time as a student. Through my experiences in the classroom, in extracurriculars, such as the Chamber Choir and the Black & Latino Student Union, and through general day to day interactions with my fellow classmates and teachers, who are now mentors, I can confidently say that I am better person: personally, academically, professionally, and spiritually and for that, I will be forever grateful. Essentially, through BC High’s emphasis of cura personalis, or care of the whole person, I have been equipped with necessary tools and knowledge in a holistic sense, which has helped me tremendously in various aspects of my life ever since my days on Morrisey Boulevard. As such, I feel as though it is important to give back to the institution with the intention of helping other young men in their journeys through their most important formative years."

I make a monthly donation to BC High because I am committed to giving back to the place that showed me what it means to be a Man for Others. BC High’s promise to forming young men of integrity grounded in Catholic, Jesuit values and traditions is what makes BC High such a special community. AMDG is a motto that is lived each day by the faculty and staff and one that I strive to uphold. I am proud to be part of the BC High network and in continuing the school’s mission."

As a 4th generation BC High family, we’ve been blessed to experience first hand the key role the school makes in melding men for others. We give so the school can perform that crucial work for deserving boys and families of various economic means and thereby burnishing school’s lofty legacy to even greater heights. AMDG"
