the bishop dunne experience
Bishop Dunne Catholic School is committed to the formation of its students holistically, so they may develop physically, socially, and emotionally to mature into servant leaders. Falcon students are nurtured in a diverse, family environment. Upon graduation, they are prepared to lead meaningful lives that reflect integrity, respect, and faith.
A message from President Gabe Moreno '03
The Falcon Fund
The Falcon Fund is important to our Falcon community. With your financial support, we may continue all the great things God has called us to do in serving our students, their families, and our community. When you give to the Falcon Fund, Bishop Dunne's annual fund, you are ensuring we retain and acquire outstanding teachers; provide innovative programs; offer financial aid to those in need; and enhance our facility to provide a quality, safe environment for our students and faculty. Your gift directly and significantly impacts our students' ability to grow to their full potential and achieve their God-given dreams.
Your gift to the Falcon Fund ensures Bishop Dunne is able to continue offering the high quality, family-oriented Bishop Dunne experience youths have been receiving for more than 60 years. Our Advanced GIS Mapping, Robotics, and other STEM-oriented programs are top in the region. We offer extracurricular activities to develop well-rounded graduates--and all are welcome, whether they are a top athlete or new to the sport. Our arts program is thriving as evidenced by our band's invitation to perform at Carnegie Hall on March 29, 2024, considered an aspirational destination for the world’s finest artists.
Your donation makes a difference.
The Falcon Fund provides financial support in critical areas, so that we may continue to inspire future leaders to innovate and serve by delivering a world-class, faith-based education in North Texas.
Areas supported through the Falcon Fund include but are not limited to:
-
Competitive teacher salaries and benefits
-

How Bishop Dunne Provides a Quality Education to Youth
Tuition, fees, and other income do not fully cover the expense needed to provide students with a Bishop Dunne education the Falcon way. In order to fully cover operational expenses, tuition would need to be much higher, significantly affecting accessibility to many families in our community.
Thanks to the generous support of parents, alumni, and philanthropy-minded donors, Bishop Dunne is able to offer a life-changing, college preparatory experience for students that goes far beyond a standard education.
About 69% of Bishop Dunne’s operating budget is covered by tuition, fees, and other income. The remainder is covered by you, our community, who believes a faith-based, college preparatory education in a family environment makes a difference in youths’ lives.
Give now and help us raise the next generation of godly leaders!
