For more than 175 years, Ursuline has empowered young women to lead with confidence and courage. As we celebrate that legacy, we're also looking ahead to the future we're building together.
Ursuline Academy is excited to announce the 175th Campaign: Endowment & Infrastructure. This mini campaign will expand the impact of an Ursuline education for generations to come.
