The annual campaign raises up to $1.5 million annually and the school completed a $10 million endowment campaign in 2021. The advancement team also includes our communications work which serves a critical need for the school community. Communications include weekly tactical parent emails, a monthly magazine, and sharing our stories on social media on a daily basis. The advancement team also manages our burgeoning alumni and alumni family program and hosts many of our major community relations events.
