Expanding For Our Future
Father McGivney Catholic High School (FMCHS) was founded by a group of dedicated parents, grandparents, pastors and other faithful volunteers who began working on the “dream” of a school in 2005. In the fall of 2012, FMCHS opened its doors to a group of 19 students in a wing of St. John Neumann School before opening its own building three years later.
We have experienced immense growth and extraordinary success in the last ten years. This fall, we welcomed 90 new freshmen, our largest freshman class yet! The reputation of FMCHS is growing not just locally but throughout the Dioceses of Springfield and Belleville. Families from our feeder schools and beyond want their children here at FMCHS. With growth has come the need to plan for our future and expand our campus.

THE CHALLENGES
-
Enrollment: We need to grow our facilities to accommodate our growing student body so we are not forced to turn students away due to a lack of space.
Facilities: Additional classrooms and a large common area are needed for lunch, all school Mass, events, performing arts, etc., as well as additional storage in a climate controlled environment.

THE PHASES OF "BUILDING FOR OUR FUTURE"
-
Phase 1A:Additional Parking &“The Commons”
Additional Parking: A rear parking lot near athletic fields with apx. 150 additional parking spots is needed. This project is fully funded at $420K & the parking lot will be completed by November 2022.
“The Commons” would provide a new location for students’ daily lunches & for All School Mass to be held with the full student body weekly. It would provide a new space for special events, fine arts performances, & all-school activities without limiting access to the gym for PE classes, athletic practices or competitions.
-
Phase 1B:Additional Classrooms& Storage
Classrooms & Storage:
The addition of "The
Commons" would allow the Griffin’s Nest (current cafeteria) and parts
of the Theater space to be converted into classrooms to accommodate the growing student population and increased staffing needs.
Storage would be built into "The Commons" to
relieve the need for storage space.
This fall we will complete the parking lot, with additional funding, The Commons could be a reality by the end of 2023.

Phase 2:The Future ofFather McGivney

These new additions, additional classrooms and a Commons in Phase 1, will connect our current facility to future Phase 2 expansions. Phase 2 includes plans for:
- Beautiful new chapel
-Large Gymnasium

The future of Phase 2
depends on the success and completion of the Commons & new classrooms in Phase 1.
