Shanahan Legacy Society
The task of ensuring Shanahan's future rests with those who invest in the school with a vision for tomorrow. Planned giving is a way to leave a lasting legacy of support for the school. There are many vehicles to make a planned gift, all of which provide their own opportunities and advantages for you and Shanahan.
“Deciding to become a member of The Shanahan Legacy Society was an easy decision for me. As a graduate and now as a teacher at Shanahan, I have had the opportunity to see the necessity of teaching the values and character that are an integral part of a Catholic school education. If I can provide that opportunity to only one child whose family otherwise would not have had the resources, I will have made an investment in the future of our Church and the world.”
Kathleen Capriotti '75, P '06
Leaving a Lasting Legacy

The simple act of completing a form that informs Bishop Shanahan High School of a planned gift to BSHS qualifies you as a distinguished member of this group. It ensures your continuing support of Bishop Shanahan, its mission and its programs, in perpetuity.
