Giving to Tepeyac
Our Lady of Tepeyac High School is grateful for all of the ways that you, our friends and family contribute your time, talent and resources to our efforts each year. As a mission based school, fundraising and volunteerism is essential to our ability to function on a daily basis as well as our long term viability as an educational institution.
We are thankful for all of the ways that our donors give. We do not expect you to contribute each time we ask - please choose the manner of giving that is best for you. Every single dollar and every hour spent helps our girls and our school to move forward.
When you invest in a Tepeyac girl, the dividends are immeasurable.
