Debt Free: A Historic Milestone for Queen of Angels

Queen of Angels Catholic School is proud to announce a historic milestone in its 27-year history: the school is officially debt-free.
When Queen of Angels was established in 1999, the Archdiocese of Atlanta provided a loan to support the school's construction. Through years of careful financial stewardship, strong enrollment, prudent budgeting, and strategic advancement efforts, Queen of Angels has strengthened its financial position and accumulated the reserves necessary to pay off the loan in full.
The Chief Financial Officer of the Archdiocese of Atlanta first recommended retiring the debt. It was then carefully reviewed by both the Queen of Angels Finance Committee and Advisory Council. Following thoughtful discussion, there was overwhelming support to move forward with paying off the remaining balance.
This achievement creates significant opportunities for the future. With the loan retired, tuition revenue and advancement efforts can now be directed entirely toward school operations, student programs, campus improvements, and mission-driven initiatives. Additional financial benefits of becoming debt-free will further strengthen the school's long-term vitality.
More importantly, this milestone reflects the overall strength of the Queen of Angels community. Strong leadership, healthy enrollment, faculty retention, generous supporters, dedicated volunteers, and Christ-centered decision-making have all contributed to the school's success and sustainability.
At the heart of every decision is our Catholic faith. Queen of Angels exists to serve Christ and form students in faith, academic excellence, service, and leadership. Responsible stewardship of the resources entrusted to us ensures that this mission will continue to thrive for generations to come.
"Becoming debt-free is a tremendous blessing for our school," said Principal Danielle Montepare. "This milestone reflects the strength, generosity, and commitment that so many people have invested in Queen of Angels over the years. We are deeply grateful to the former principals, finance committee members, families, and benefactors, whose dedication helped make this day possible."
As Queen of Angels looks to the future, this accomplishment positions the school to continue investing in its students, faculty, programs, campus, and Catholic mission from a place of financial strength. It also provides a solid foundation for thoughtful growth and continued excellence in the years ahead.
This milestone belongs to the entire Queen of Angels community. Every gift, volunteer hour, prayer, and act of support has helped our school reach this moment. Thank you for believing in Queen of Angels and in the mission of Catholic education.
Together, with Christ, let us continue to encounter Christ, empower students, and engage community for years to come!
