Girls Schools Unite 2025
Get ready! The Girls Schools Unite competition is back May 6th-8th, 2025! It's time for our friendly St. Louis rivalry, and Villa needs you to help us WIN! Support the important work of providing an all-girls, Catholic education by donating to Villa during this three day campaign. Last year's 3rd place finish (behind St. Joe and Nerinx Hall) has only ignited our drive! This year, we're aiming for a stronger finish, and we need 14% of our incredible alumnae to step up.
Will you be part of the 14% that propels Villa to the top?
Throughout the years, we have beat the competition on the field, the court, the theater, in academics, and more! Now it is our time to show that our alumnae are stronger supporters of our school, our mission, and our students.

- Girls’ school graduates are 6 times more likely to consider majoring in math, science, and technology compared to girls who attended coeducational schools.

Bragging Rights Are at Stake!
But the real winners are the future generations of students who will benefit from your generosity.
- The winner will be the school with the highest percentage of alumnae contributions during the three days of competition.
- Each alumna will count only once toward the percentage.
- Only gifts received during this three day challenge will count towards the competition, so please donate again, even if you have already donated this school year.
