2019–2020 ANNUAL REPORT 2020

A Year Like No Other We thrive on the energy from our students, the commitment of our donors, and the love of our community. While this year was unlike any other — hope brought us together. As we ramped up to leave for spring break, we realized we would not be coming back as a school community, and we planned to ensure that our Marian Girls and families were nurtured — nutritionally, emotionally, and academically. Our job is to ensure our students have everything they need to be active and engaged learners. That means they are healthy and safe, connected, and ready to learn. That meant providing them with everything from hot spots and computers, to healthy food, counseling and support, to virtual prayer and Chapel services. Our counselors and Graduate Support Team reached out to students so they could share their fears, maintain their motivation and excitement about applying to college, and everything in between. We met the challenges of the pandemic head- on — and are planning for the future.

I was especially excited when I saw how much more hands-on and rigorous Marian’s curriculum was. I wanted to be challenged, and I knew Marian would challenge me. Little did I realize just how challenging Marian would be! I had been homeschooled before fourth grade, and even though I’d learned advanced math, I needed a math tutor in fifth grade at Marian. By seventh grade, I was back in the game in math — my favorite subject! By the eighth grade, I was getting straight As. Not only that, I scored 100% on my advanced math exams! I’ll always be grateful to Marian for challenging me. As part of Marian’s Enrichment Program, which empowers students to explore their talents and career interests, I took cooking, yoga, dance, choir, and sewing classes. Marian helped me develop as a person, make friends, and gain self-confidence to go on to pursue my love of theater in high school. Another major benefit of being a part of the Marian family is the Marian scholarships we receive to continue our academic journey at high performing high schools. Marian also helps us learn how to successfully secure scholarships and financial aid. Marian is the reason I’ve been able to continue chasing my dreams.

Marian is a lifeline I know I can count on to this day. When we didn’t have food in the house, Marian provided whatever food we needed. When I was in eighth grade, my family lost everything in a house fire. Marian took my sisters and me to buy clothes and shoes and bought my high school uniform, as well as books and supplies for my little sisters and me. Even through tragedy, I left Marian on a high note because I knew they were watching out for my whole family.

Today, I am a senior at Nerinx Hall, where I have appeared in seven plays and musicals. Since freshman year, I’ve taken all honors classes in math and science. This year, I’m also taking honors classes in writing and U.S. literature, in addition to classes in world history and psychology. Because of the time management skills Marian taught me, I’m able to balance a rigorous course load and excel academically. Thanks to Marian, I have a clear vision for my future. Next, I plan to get my Bachelor’s in Psychology at Maryville University. After that, I plan to get my Doctorate in Clinical Child Psychology. Because of Marian, I know I can achieve my dreams. I am receiving an amazing education that allows me to be creative and continue challenging myself. One day, I plan to be a child psychologist. I am so grateful that Marian is helping me get there. — Lonjay Hemphill, Marian Class of 2017, Nerinx Hall, Class of 2021

Thank You from Our Leadership Lonjay is an incredible young woman, and we’re looking forward to watching her achieve her dream of becoming a Clinical Child Psychologist! It’s girls like Lonjay who embody the mission of Marian — breaking the cycle of poverty by enabling girls to realize their dreams. Lonjay is one of more than 279 girls who have had the opportunity to receive a life-changing education at Marian, since our founding in 1999. Lonjay inspires us to serve as a beacon of hope for girls with limited resources. We rose to the challenge of serving our community during the global pandemic with the knowledge that we would get through this together and emerge even stronger. Our Marian family is truly like no other. Thank you for being a part of the Marian family. Together, we are Transforming Lives and Building for Our Future. With our deepest gratitude,

Marian’s Enrichment Program provides students with opportunities for self-discovery, leadership development, and career exploration. These activities foster belonging and connection after students graduate Marian and enter their new high school environments. The skills they build — like leadership and time management, healthy decision-making, and forming positive relationships with others — last a lifetime and help them become even more successful throughout their high school, college, and career journeys.

3RDANNUAL Young Friends Trivia Night Saturday, November 14, 2020 • Marian Middle School “The opportunity to help provide the outstanding, alternative, and faith-based education that Marian is known for, is both empowering and rewarding. As Trivia Chair, I was able to support a school that “I was honored and delighted to be the keynote speaker for could not be more meaningful to me, while also enjoying the event Marian's Girls Night Out. I had attended this event in the past with with my family. Marian has enlightened and done more for me than a friend, however, I didn’t fully understand just how special and I could ever hope to repay.” unique this middle school was until I met with the leadership team — Tyler Dunn, Senior Credit Analyst, Stifel Bank and Trust and learned more. I absolutely LOVE Marian’s model and feel that their philosophy of education is exemplary and could very well serve as a standard to improve education for other schools. Marian not only educates these young ladies holistically with the skills needed for tomorrow’s careers, but supports and nurtures them for the rest 19TH ANNUAL of their educational journey with mentorship and coaching, on into their careers. Being well-educated will not only improve the future for each student but can be the catalyst for a brighter future for S S every generation thereafter. As is commonly stated by the graduates of Marian, ‘Once a Marian Girl, always a Marian Girl!’” — Lisa Nichols, CEO, Technology Partners APRIL 16 - 26, 2020
