Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors individuals and families who have chosen to include Bishop Miege in their estate plans, ensuring that future generations of students can benefit from a faith-based education.

At Bishop Miege High School, we believe that a lasting legacy is built not only through academic excellence and spiritual growth but also through the generosity of those who support our mission. Through planned giving options such as bequests, charitable gift annuities, and beneficiary designations, members of the Legacy Society make a profound impact on our school’s ability to provide scholarships, enhance programs, and maintain facilities. We invite you to join this group of benefactors who are committed to sustaining the tradition of excellence at Bishop Miege Catholic High School for years to come.

Individuals who have included Bishop Miege Catholic High School in their estate plans will become members of our Legacy Society. This includes wills, trusts, life insurance policies, real estate, annuities, and retirement plans. Members will be honored on the Legacy Wall and at the Annual Foundation Dinner.
