Your support is immeasurable. The impact of philanthropic gifts goes beyond the classroom and far beyond the high school experience. When a student receives a much needed scholarship, a new musical instrument, art supplies they could not otherwise afford or an experience to meet and study with an accomplished artist, their trajectory into the future shifts. Their sights are set just a little higher and their ambition to succeed is boosted.
