The decision to attend Maranatha High School comes with the understanding that tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating a student at MHS. Donations to the Annual Fund are used to close the gap between tuition income and the actual cost of running Maranatha High School.
For the 2008-09 school year, the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of educating a student is $2,070 per student.
Won't you partner with us? The partnership and support of everyone in the Maranatha community makes an enormous impact on the academic programs and co-curricular activities we are able to offer our students. You can make a significant difference in the lives of students by donating to the Annual Fund. We encourage all members of our community, including parents, grandparents, alumni, staff, neighbors and friends, to partner with Maranatha High School by making an Annual Fund gift.
All school families are expected to participate in the Annual Fund. The goal for the '08-'09 Annual Fund (July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2009) is $435,000 and 100% parent participation.
Annual Fund Giving Levels
While gifts of any size are needed and appreciated, the following is a sampling of gift options, which may be paid in installments:

The only gift that is too small is no gift at all! Thank you!
