Annual Giving 

Rochelle Zell Jewish High School’s Annual Campaign provides an opportunity for our community of current parents, former parents, alumni, grandparents, faculty, and friends to make a valuable contribution. Annual Campaign funds provide much-needed tuition assistance, as well as direct support for the day-to-day operations of the school. The Annual Appeal is a critical component of our overall fundraising efforts. As in most private schools, tuition alone does not cover the total expense of educating students. The ongoing generosity of our supporters helps bridge the gap between tuition and the operating budget and ensures the continued excellence of our school’s students, faculty, educational program, and state-of-the-art facility.

Endowment 

This effort is to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the school and to maintain affordable tuition, enabling Rochelle Zell to remain competitive and deliver a superb college preparatory education. Please join our campaign. Together, we will ensure that our students, both current and future, can continue to enjoy an exceptional RZJHS experience.

Senior Class Israel Trip Scholarship Fund in Memory of Shelly Moss

In memory of Shelly Moss, a passionate fundraiser serving the cause of Israel, the Jewish people, and our school, RZJHS has established a scholarship fund for our annual senior class trip to Israel. Our goal is to ensure that every student who wants to participate in the trip can do so, regardless of financial circumstance.
