Havergal College & The Havergal College Foundation Impact Report 2020-21

I would like to begin with a big thank you for the enthusiastic welcome I’ve been extended here at Havergal. The strong sense of community and spirit at the school has been evident since day 1 and it has been a very rewarding first semester and an encouraging start to the new school year. It has brought me joy to watch our students interact with one another, in person on campus, and it is so wonderful to see them using the bright spaces in our newly built Junior and Upper School wings. The Upper School students have grown especially fond of spending time in the Learning Commons with the Old Girls BioWall, which is a beautiful and sustainable feature with the added benefit of serving as a natural air-filtration system, in addition to providing a connection with nature. I know that our community watched with much anticipation as the incredible new spaces came to life. These state-of-the-art facilities were made possible by the generosity and support of those who have contributed to Havergal’s fundraising and philanthropic efforts over the past several years. The success of the Limitless Campaign has allowed us to create contemporary and inspiring spaces for all of our future leaders to grow and thrive.

The resounding success of the campaign along with other fundraising initiatives at the school enable us to execute on the goals in our Strategic Direction. Our ongoing vision is to inspire young learners, and create opportunities for them to develop agency and cultivate world- views that empower them to become global change-makers. By investing in our community and leveraging the talent and passion of our people, we will shape future-ready leaders. Our generous donors and their philanthropic support help to make all of this possible. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on philanthropy—a virtue that we wish to model for our students as they transition out into the world as confident, globally minded citizens. I look forward to connecting with more members of the Havergal community and wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to you for your ongoing support and belief in our mission. The future only gets brighter from here.
