Great job, Knights!

Giving Knights

Your loyalty to SMR supports a legacy for alumni, a well-rounded high school experience for our students, SMR traditions, lifelong relationships and building of community and family.

Giving Tuesday is a BIG DAY for SMR Knights! It's a day when the SMR community rallies together on the Global Day of Giving.

Since 2016, Knights united together on Giving Tuesday and since then we have raised over $170,000 for our students, faculty and facilities.
