Each year The Good Hope School hosts three major fundraising events: the Calcutta Tennis Tournament, the Gala and Auction, and the Annual Caribbean Fine Art Exhibit. We are grateful to our greater island community and its many constituencies who lend their considerable support to our school through these annual events. For more information about our tennis tournament, gala and auction, or art exhibit and sale, please contact the Development Office and speak to Director of Development Susan Kraeger or Development Coordinator Eileen Skeoch Hill ’95 at (340) 772-0022 or via email at skraeger@ghsvi.org or ehill@ghsvi.org. Annual Gala and Auction
The Good Hope School’s annual gala and auction began as The Big Auction on Sunday afternoons in the early 1980s. Today, the gala takes place on the Saturday night of Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. This themed evening includes a silent and live auction, cocktails and dinner for 200-plus guests, and dancing. A significant portion of the money Good Hope raises for scholarships for our students is raised at this event. Individuals and the St. Croix business community play an important role in the success of this event with the purchase of sponsorships, and the donation of goods and services.

Annual Caribbean Fine Art Exhibit In 1987, Good Hope parents and the St. Croix artist community began a mutually beneficial collaboration to raise money for scholarships for Good Hope students – at the same time providing a venue for our generous and talented local artists to exhibit and sell their work. This eagerly anticipated three-day exhibit and sale takes place over the Presidents Day weekend and draws hundreds of patrons to The Good Hope School’s Campus Center. Each year, one artist is chosen to submit artwork for the much coveted Caribbean Fine Art Exhibit Poster. A community-wide event on many levels, students from all the island’s schools are invited to visit the exhibit the Friday before it opens for docent tours and one-on-one time with the artists who are eager to share their talent and technique with the children.

The Good Hope Annual Calcutta Tennis Tournament The Calcutta Tennis Tournament was founded in 1992 by a group of Good Hope parents who were avid tennis enthusiasts. Traditionally held in mid-September, this tournament kicks off St. Croix’s tennis tournament season. Its unique format of mixed doubles made up of teams randomly paired makes it fun and exciting for all levels of players. The Calcutta auction allows supporters to purchase teams the night of the pairings. Held at the Buccaneer Tennis Club this tournament supports Good Hope faculty professional development.
