Call to Action
Naming Opportunities
The PaduaPlus+ Campaign affords donors an attractive range of prominent and meaningful opportunities to link their name, or the name of a family member or honored friend, in perpetuity with the life and work of Padua Franciscan High School. Such naming opportunities include the dedication of specific areas around our building and campus. We invite all alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, foundations and friends to partner with us by considering one of a number of permanent naming opportunities.

Classroom Renovation $442,500
Part of Padua’s mission is to provide the environment and tools needed to foster intellectual curiosity, creative thinking, problem solving and a thirst for life-long learning. To support our students’ academic experience, we must renovate all of our classrooms. This involves the addition of modern drop ceilings, new lighting, fresh paint, carpet tile flooring and whiteboards.
Girls Locker Room $57,500
With more than 500 students participating in athletics each year, renovating the locker rooms is important for both current and prospective students. Renovation of the Girls Locker Room is forthcoming.
