Welcome to Our
Supportive Community

For over a century, we have sent our graduates into the world to make a positive contribution.  Our culture is one of giving back generously and finding purpose and impact - and teaching our students to do the same. 

This extends to our families, who from the very beginning have shaped the school through their generosity and involvement. Every family’s support, through community engagement and thoughtful philanthropy, helps keep our mission thriving for today’s students and for generations to come.  

I look forward to partnering with you to continue this longstanding tradition and to make our special school the very best it can be for our community!
 
Warmly,
