Capital Campaign
The gym is the home court for our teams, the setting for everyday physical education classes, and the venue for community celebrations. Our lobby is the first space students, families, faculty, and visitors enter each day.
With your help, this campaign will revitalize these spaces into vibrant, state-of-the-art areas that foster school pride, growth, and belonging, reflecting the warmth and excellence of our students, school, and community.
