Six Local All-Girls, Catholic High Schools Join Together for
4th Annual Girls’ Schools Unite Campaign

Cincinnati – From May 1 – May 3, six area all-girls Catholic high schools – Mercy McAuley, Mount Notre Dame, Notre Dame Academy, Saint Ursula Academy, Seton, and Ursuline Academy – are teaming up for the 4th annual city-wide campaign called Girls’ Schools Unite. New this year is the addition of Notre Dame Academy in Northern Kentucky. The fundraising campaign seeks to raise awareness and financial support for all-girls Catholic education in Greater Cincinnati. The campaign calls on alumnae from each school to make a gift to their high school alma mater; all donations will support the schools’ annual funds, which provide financial assistance, scholarships and campus improvements for current and future students. The high school with the highest percentage of alumnae participation will be “crowned” the winner on May 5, 2023. 

Since the campaign’s first year in 2020, the high schools together have raised $1,167,976. This year, the schools are building on their past successes and extending into Northern Kentucky with the addition of Notre Dame Academy – all with the goal of raising funds in support of all-girls Catholic education in Greater Cincinnati. 

Alumnae can make a gift online at the website of their alma mater anytime from May 1 – May 3, or they may mail a check dated between May 1 – 3 to their school. The schools’ websites are:
