The School's first major capital campaign in 20 years is supporting a much needed building project to benefit all students. Spanning 36,000 square feet, the project includes the renovation of our existing cafeteria, built in 1955, into a larger kitchen, servery, and touchdown space, and the addition of a new wing to provide indoor and outdoor dining and gathering spaces, an expansive academic seminar room, and a welcoming counseling center. The new wing is scheduled to be completed in January 2025. Visit the campaign site to learn more. Thank you for your support!
