Forming Hands-On Servant Leaders Campaign
In the spirit of brotherhood and purpose.
175 Years of Excellence. One Bold Vision for the Future.
In 2031, Seton Hall Prep will celebrate 175 years of providing a value-based Catholic education while setting the national standard for academic, athletic, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Our legacy of excellence has positioned us to embark on an ambitious initiative:
The Forming Hands-On Servant Leaders Capital Campaign.
This $50 million campaign will preserve and advance the Prep mission while ensuring future generations of Pirates continue to grow as leaders rooted in service, faith, and integrity.

A Vibrant Future for the Prep Community
There has always been a special vibrancy to life at Seton Hall Prep. This campaign will ensure that spirit continues to thrive for generations to come.
We invite our alumni, parents, and friends to join us in strengthening the Prep experience and shaping the future of Pirate students.
Together, we will continue forming hands-on servant leaders who will make a difference in the world.
Construction Is Underway
Construction has already started at The Prep.
As part of the Forming Hands-On Servant Leaders Campaign, work is currently underway on two key campus improvements: two new digital classrooms and a grand entrance to the gymnasium. These enhancements represent the first visible steps in transforming our campus to better support the academic, athletic, and community life of Seton Hall Prep.
The new digital classrooms will provide modern learning environments designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and hands-on learning. Meanwhile, the grand entrance to the gymnasium will create a welcoming and functional space that reflects the pride and spirit of The Prep community.
Follow the progress through our construction photo gallery, which documents the exciting transformation taking place on campus.
