“The Eucharist is my highway to heaven.” — Saint Carlo Acutis

St. Henry District High School centers this year’s mission on the remarkable life and legacy of Saint Carlo Acutis.

Donate to Our 2026-2027 Annual Appeal

A modern-day youth who blended deep Catholic faith with technology, computer programming, and everyday teenage life, Carlo showed us that holiness is not a distant ideal; it is lived in our daily routines and rooted in Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist. By declaring the Eucharist his “highway to heaven,” Carlo left behind a roadmap for our students: to pursue excellence in all things while keeping Christ at the center of their journey.

At SHDHS, we strive to form young men and women of faith, intellect, and character who live out this truth every day.

Why Your Gift Matters

Just as Saint Carlo used his talents to share the love of Christ with the world, your generosity empowers Crusaders to pursue their own “giant leaps” in academics, athletics, the arts, and spiritual life.

Your tax-deductible contribution to the 2026–2027 Annual Appeal directly supports:

Tuition Assistance & Scholarships: Ensuring that every deserving student and family can access a transformative Catholic education, regardless of financial circumstances.
Faith & Sacramental Life: Enriching retreat programs, campus ministry initiatives, and daily opportunities for prayer and Eucharistic devotion.
Academic & Technological Growth: Upgrading classroom technology, STEM programs, and facility infrastructure so our students are equipped to lead in a changing world.
Essential Operational Support: Meeting unexpected needs throughout the school year to keep our campus safe, modern, and vibrant.

Walk the Highway with Us

Every gift—no matter the size—makes a direct impact on the lives of our students and the future of our Catholic community.
Together, let us walk alongside Saint Carlo Acutis and guide our young people on their own journey of faith, purpose, and excellence.
