Meet Our Donors

James Tenski

For many years, as the end of the year approached, James Tenski had a simple tradition. He would stop by the school office and ask if there was a student who needed help with tuition. Each year, he quietly offered to pay half of a student’s tuition so they could continue receiving a Catholic education.

Those annual visits were the only gifts Jim made to the school during his lifetime, but they reflected his deep belief in the value of Catholic education and his desire to help others.

When Jim unexpectedly passed away in May 2025, we were profoundly grateful to learn that he had included our school in his estate plans with a gift of more than $500,000. His extraordinary legacy gift will support students and strengthen the mission of our school for generations to come.

Jim also remembered several other Catholic organizations in his estate, extending his generosity far beyond his lifetime. His story is a powerful reminder that thoughtful planning can create a lasting impact and help ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the gift of Catholic education.
