Most people don’t realize that at any private school, tuition only covers part of the total cost of educating each student. An Annual Fund is essential to closing that gap. Each year we look to our supporters for donations that have an immediate and meaningful impact, keeping Lakehill the unique campus we know and love.
But what, exactly, does the Annual Fund, well, fund?
- The student experience—it makes possible the athletic teams, clubs, extracurricular activities, and academic teams that give students a well-rounded, complete experience.
- Faculty support—it allows the school to offer competitive salaries, benefits, and facilities, making Lakehill more able to attract and retain qualified, passionate leaders.
- Safety—it ensures students are safe from drop-off to pick-up every day, by maintaining security presence at both campuses.
- Advanced training—it gives every faculty and staff member access to the latest seminars and training materials, ensuring they can stay current in their field.
- Curriculum support—it provides the resources to research and maintain an updated curriculum, and add in new class offerings in response to student interest, as well as to stay ahead of current academic trends.
- Financial aid—it helps bring extraordinary student talent to Lakehill.
- Technology and Resources—it creates flexible and collaborative learning spaces for students and faculty to work in, including helping to provide current research and technical materials.
The Annual Fund Campaign is the most popular and important vehicle through which our supporters give to Lakehill. Your donation goes to work immediately, helping to ensure that one more Warrior achieves their ultimate goal of becoming a Lakehill graduate and attending the college of their choice.
We are proud of Lakehill’s reputation for being a “Small Place where you can do Big Things.” That applies to the Annual Fund as well. Your gift will make a Big Impact – I encourage you to look around at our students and see for yourself who the Annual Fund supports. It’s an investment in the leaders of tomorrow.
