2024 | 2025 Annual Impact Report
Dear
Community,
This year, as we celebrate 375 years of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, we are reminded of the enduring spirit that has sustained OLP since its founding—one of courage, innovation, and unifying love. For generations, the Sisters have modeled what it means to see a need and respond. Today, your generosity continues that sacred tradition.
Each year, parents, alumnae, Board, faculty, staff, and friends invest their time, talent, and treasure to ensure that every OLP girl has the opportunity to learn, grow, and lead. Your contributions extend far beyond tuition, they enrich academic, athletic, arts, and co-curricular programs; provide scholarships and financial aid; preserve our historic campus; and build longterm financial strength through our endowment.
Because of your support, the 2024–2025 school year has been one of meaningful momentum and stewardship. This Annual Report highlights several notable campus improvements and initiatives that enhance daily life for our students and strengthen the foundation of our school.
These advancements reflect your belief in the power of an OLP education and ensure that our campus remains a vibrant, inspiring environment where young women can discover their gifts and pursue their dreams.
Your collective annual support is not just powerful, it is essential. It makes an immediate and lasting difference in the lives of our students. As we honor the 375-year legacy of the Sisters and look with hope toward the future, we remain deeply grateful for the extraordinary community that sustains OLP.
Thank you for your generosity, your partnership, and your steadfast commitment to our girls. Together, we continue to build a legacy of heart, faith, courage, and excellence.
With Gratitude,
Dr. Lauren Lek, Head of
School
Academy of Our Lady of Peace
