Our Mission

Since its beginnings in 1882, Resurrection Catholic School has seen many changes–from its start as the Academy of Guardian Angels, to Our Lady of Victories, and its merger with Sacred Heart and St. Peter–but its mission has never waivered: to provide a nurturing environment where students reach their full potential as educated, caring, responsible Christians prepared to meet the challenges of an ever-changing society. Whatever name you know it by, Resurrection Catholic School has a long legacy of nurturing the future leaders of our communities, but without support from community members like you, this legacy is at risk.

The Eagle Legacy Foundation was established to provide critical financial support for Resurrection Catholic School and continue its legacy of community-focused education. We’ve seen firsthand the impact Resurrection Catholic School has had in the lives of its students and what so many have accomplished as a result. We also know the risks our communities face if we fail to equip the current generation with the skills, character, and education needed to lead with strength and integrity. Your support is vital in protecting the legacy and future of RCS and securing the strength of the communities who depend on it. #InvestInTheNest
