5 Annual Report | 2023-2024 Reflecting on another remarkable year at St. Joseph’s Collegiate Institute, we remain inspired by the visionary leadership of St. John Baptist de La Salle, the patron saint of educators and founder of the Christian Brothers. His pioneering commitment to accessible, high-quality education lives on at SJCI, where we embrace innovation and continually seek new ways to engage, inspire and transform our students. Beyond the classroom, we are proud to share that The Buffalo News named SJCI the Best Private High School in Western New York—a testament to the exceptional academics, athletics, fine arts and extracurricular programs we offer to enrich the student experience: • Our student-athletes demonstrated the width and depth of our athletic excellence by winning the Monsignor Martin Supremacy Cup. • Our talented performers brought home six prestigious Shea’s High School Musical Theatre Awards, including Best Musical, affirming the virtuosity of our fine arts program. • Four out of five of our students participate in the over 50 clubs and activities offered, enriching their school experience and developing lifelong skills. None of these accomplishments would be possible without the unwavering support of our loyal alumni, benefactors and friends. The cost of providing our second-to-none education now approaches $17,000 per year, yet it is St. John Baptist de La Salle...Pray for Us! Live Jesus in our Hearts...Forever! Dear SJCI Community, James W. Grable Jr., Esq. ’89 Chairperson, Board of Trustees Christopher M. Fulco, Ed.D. President through your generosity that we are able to offer $3.5 million in financial assistance, benefiting over 80% of our almost 640 students. Because of your support, SJCI remains debt-free, and every dollar of tuition assistance reflects the generosity of our benefactors and the returns from careful stewardship of our growing endowment. This strong financial foundation empowers us to innovate, pursue excellence and live the Lasallian charism to transform our students’ lives. On behalf of SJCI, we thank you for your loyal support, which ensures the Brotherhood and spirit will thrive for generations. INTRODUCTION
