Let's Finish What We Started.
The True Viking Campaign is a historic effort to secure our future by investing in what matters most: our students, our teachers and the campus we call home. With visionary leadership and record-breaking momentum, we’re building a St. Laurence that’s bigger, stronger, and more accessible than ever before.
$763,555 LEFT TO GO!
Thanks to the generosity of the Viking community, we’ve reached nearly 94% of our $12.5 million goal.
Every Viking has an opportunity to help us close the gap and finish strong.
Explore how your support can help transform our campus, expand student opportunity, and fuel excellence across every program.
A Letter from Campaign Leadership
When the True Viking Campaign began, a dedicated group of alumni, parents, and friends stepped forward to help build a strong foundation for the future of St. Laurence. Their generosity has helped create extraordinary momentum and advance one of the most ambitious initiatives in our school’s history.
Today, as we enter the final phase of the campaign, we have an opportunity to expand that circle of support and invite every member of the Viking community to participate.
The True Viking Campaign is ultimately about people. It is about the students who will benefit from expanded opportunities, the teachers who inspire excellence every day, the programs that strengthen the student experience and the facilities that will serve generations of Vikings to come.
Whether your gift is $25, $250 or $25,000, your participation matters. Every gift is a statement of belief in the mission of St. Laurence and the future of the students we serve.
Today, we stand within reach of completing the most ambitious campaign in St. Laurence history. We invite you to help finish what generations of Vikings have begun.
Every gift matters. Every True Viking Counts.
