The Sacred Heart Endowment

Through the generosity and vision of a Newton Country Day School family, a new endowment was created in the Spring of 2023 to honor the legacy and leadership of Sister Barbara Rogers. The Sacred Heart Endowment supports, in perpetuity, tuition assistance for generations of young women who seek a Sacred Heart education. Each year, a percentage of the Endowment’s investment income will be used to fund tuition for Sacred Heart Scholars, furthering the School’s commitment to Goal IV — the building of community as a Christian value.

The endowment was established with an initial gift of $1.5M and a challenge for our community: to match this gift and raise an additional $1.5M by Sister Rogers’ birthday, May 30, 2024. The Newton Country Day community, including alumnae, parents, parents of alumnae, family, and friends came together to collectively achieve this challenge match goal, and the original donors generously contributed an additional $1.5M, bringing the full impact of the Sacred Heart Endowment to $4.7M in support of tuition assistance. This is the largest endowment fund at Newton Country Day and will make possible a Sacred Heart education to promising, talented, curious, and courageous young women and their families for generations far into the future.

Thank you to all in our community who doubled their financial impact this year by generously supporting the Sacred Heart Endowment!
