Announcing the Innovation Lab Challenge!

We are excited to announce the Innovation Lab Challenge. This ambitious building project will make a lasting impact on our students and bolster our award-winning STREAM program! With the support of Tricia Tilford and Matt Janchar, (parents of MAA students ’17 and ’20) we are renovating the Immaculate Conception Building’s second floor and constructing a new middle school science lab.


Tricia and Matt have made a generous donation of $50,000 and tabled a challenge to us all: if the MAA community can raise another $50,000, they will donate an additional $50,000 toward the project, totaling $150,000. This will be the largest donation MAA has ever received for a project. 


For Tricia and Matt, MAA has been a supportive partner in educating their two sons, providing a strong academic, spiritual, and moral foundation. “Our children have been blessed to be a part of the MAA community and receive such a wonderful foundational education that we wanted to give back to the school.” We are grateful to Tricia and Matt for their commitment to MAA and all of our community members for joining in on the challenge. Learn more and help us reach our goal!
