Holy Savior Menard Teacher Salary Endowment.

A Holy Savior Menard Central High School alumnus and former teacher made a $25,000 anonymous donation several years ago to the school to establish an endowment fund set up for the sole purpose of increasing teacher salaries.The Holy Savior Menard Excellence in Teaching Endowment fund is set up to honor the current faculty with the hope of permanent future pay raises.

The sole purpose of the fund is to pay all teacher salaries at a competitive rate, which in turn would relieve the operating budget of this expense. The school could then update facilities, etc. At this point 84 percent of tuition dollars goes to salaries and benefits. By lowering that amount, we can do so much more for our students. 

To help us reach our goal for the Teacher Endowent Fund, a generous donor has agreed to match dollar for dollar all contributions to the Teacher Endowment Fund, up to $50,000. This means that any donation made will have double the impact, helping to grow the fund and ensure continued support for our teachers in the future. 

Once the total balance in the fund (including earnings) reaches our goal, the school will begin using 30 percent of the earnings to fund teacher salaries. Over the years, as the fund increases in donations and in value, the plan is to increase the amount to fund teacher salaries.

The funds will be maintained in an account separate and apart from all other HSM accounts. The funds are restricted for any purpose other than to fund teacher salaries.

To make a donation, please send your check (payable to Holy Savior Menard) to 4603 Coliseum Blvd., Alexandria, LA, 71303, or submit the form below.
