The Annual Appeal refers to gifts made on a yearly basis. The money raised helps defray current-year operating expenses and supports the people and programs that make JACS so unique - talented teachers, smaller class sizes, excellent resources and exceptional offerings from arts and athletics to mathematics, science and religion. Because these special assets  have a major impact on the budget, we must turn to parents, grandparents, past parents, alumni and friends for financial support.  Know that there are others who have gone before you who continue to support JACS out of gratitude for the opportunities a JACS education has provided.

When parents send their children to Joplin Area Catholic Schools they become part of a team whose sole purpose is the education of students. This educational endeavor not only involves the  parents, faculty, administration and staff of JACS, but also the alumni, past parents, grandparents and friends who assist with their time, treasure and talent in keeping JACS financially stable.
