What Chaminade High School does

Chaminade High School is a private Catholic Marianist college preparatory institution serving young men in grades 9-12 at its single campus in Mineola, Long Island, New York. Founded in 1930 and operated by the Marianist Province of Meribah, the school delivers a four-year college preparatory program integrating rigorous academics (including dozens of AP courses), 19 interscholastic athletic teams, more than 60 co-curricular activities, and faith formation grounded in 12 annual schoolwide Masses and on-campus retreat programming. Core academic infrastructure includes iPad technology deployed in every classroom, the Noro Portal learning management platform, and the Dolan Family Science, Technology, and Research Center.

The school's revenue model rests on two pillars: recurring tuition from enrolled families and a substantial fundraising apparatus led by the Torch Fund annual giving program (which has generated over $123 million since 1987), the Golf Classic (drawing 600+ community members), and capital campaigns such as Access for All. Financial aid distributed annually exceeds $3 million as of 2025-26 following a $1 million increase. Non-tuition revenue is supplemented by ancillary programs including summer camps, a Chaminade store, and the Chaminade Leadership Summit (launched 2025).

Chaminade's customer segment is narrowly defined—Catholic and other families seeking a single-sex, faith-driven college preparatory education—and is concentrated geographically across Long Island and the New York metropolitan area. The institution positions itself on 100% college placement, 90% extracurricular participation, and a multi-generational alumni network ("Chaminade Family") that functions as both reputational asset and fundraising pipeline. The 2024-2026 period has been marked by significant governance modernization, including the appointment of the first lay principal, the creation of CFO and Chief Academic Officer roles, and the launch of structured alumni engagement infrastructure ahead of the school's 2030 centennial.
