Critical Assets
ca m p a i g n
Our sincere thanks! On December 31, 2011, The Seven Hills School successfully completed The Critical Assets Campaign for endowment. This was the culmination of four years of effort, spearheaded by the Board of Trustees and supported by the efforts of dozens of volunteers. In the aggregate, The Critical Assets Campaign has added more than $17.6 million to the school’s endowment, an achievement that has had a powerful impact on our ability to sustain the excellence of this school. Head of School Chris Garten announced the successful completion of the campaign at a recent Board meeting. “We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all the members of this community who worked together to bring this to fruition. In this time of economic uncertainty, the full-blooded support of this entire community means more than I can adequately express. In my 34 years in independent schools, I am hard pressed to think of many other fund-raising efforts that have had such a significant impact on any
17.6 million raised $
institution at such a critical time. On behalf of our faculty and staff and the children of this community, I want to thank all who have helped make this possible. Special thanks to our last two Board Chairs- Jim Schiff, whose visionary leadership inspired this ambitious effort, focused, so appropriately, on building the school’s endowment, and Jane Garvey, who has led an army of committed volunteers across the finish line.”
