Saint Mary's High School, Manhasset

What Saint Mary's High School, Manhasset does

Saint Mary's High School, Manhasset is a private, nonprofit Catholic college-preparatory high school founded in 1949 in Manhasset, New York (Long Island). It serves approximately 334 high-school students and is jointly governed with affiliated elementary and middle schools that together enroll roughly 266 additional students, for a combined diocesan K-12 footprint. The school delivers a faith-based, college-prep curriculum and is affiliated with the Catholic Diocese, participates in the TACHS admissions system, and since 2023 has run the CEDE Program in collaboration with Catholic University of America. The Dominican Sisters of Mary joined the school community in 2021, reinforcing its religious mission identity. Technology infrastructure is composed of standard independent-school SaaS: MySchoolApp for communications, Naviance for college counseling, Google Workspace for productivity, and FACTS for tuition and student information management. No proprietary AI/ML systems or research outputs are disclosed.

The business model is tuition-led: tuition accounts for ~88% of operating costs, with domestic tuition at approximately $14,360 per student and international tuition at roughly $25,000. The remaining ~12% of operating revenue is generated from the annual fund/donations, summer camp programs (a Sports Academy operation that monetizes facilities off-season), and capital campaigns such as the 75th Anniversary Gala (2025), which raised $400K+. The institution maintains a 14,000-member alumni network that supports recurring philanthropy and referential admissions. Distribution is parish-based across Long Island and NYC (Queens), with international students representing an expanding customer segment.

Recent strategic actions center on capital reinvestment and revenue-mix diversification rather than scale expansion: the 2025 Bud Denihan Field renovation (the largest capital project in 20 years), the 75th Anniversary Gala, the CEDE academic partnership, the international student program, and the Sports Academy summer program. Customer concentration risk is low per individual family but moderate at the institutional level given tuition's ~88% share of revenue and the geographic concentration on Long Island / NYC.
