Student Programs

From integrating technology into our classrooms, online classes for our students, to after school activities like horseback riding, Good Shepherd has many student programming needs.

Sr. Mary Eugenia Student Needs Fund

This fund covers needs for individual children such as eyeglasses for a child whose health insurance doesn’t cover eye care or a special article of clothing. This fund is named in honor of Sr. Mary Eugenia Larkin, or “Sister Pound Cakes” as she was affectionately called, because she baked and sold pound cakes in order to finance the purchase of needed clothing and personal items for children without family or agency resources. 

Good Shepherd Courtyard Memorial Garden Fund

This fund is for the renovation of Good Shepherd Center’s student courtyard as a memorial to Sr. Mary Rosaria Baxter, a Sister devoted to Good Shepherd Center and its mission, as well as other beloved friends of our Center. We believe there can be no better tribute to those that have supported our mission than to dedicate a healing garden for our students in their memory.

Good Shepherd Wish List

Both the Center and the School maintain a Wish List for items that enhance our programs. Caring for our children requires a lot of love, money, and supplies. Click here to find out how you can support our Wish List.

Be A Cheerleader! Sponsorship

In celebration of our 40th Anniversary in our Baltimore County, Maryland location, the Center totally renovated its expansive gym with murals, a new floor, scoreboard and skylights.  The renovation included the addition of 2,000 cheering Good Shepherd Center supporters on the gym walls.  We invite you to adopt one of these “cheerleaders.”  Click here to learn more!
