Thank You from the Chairs

Thank you for being a part of our future. Our donors help to open doors and create opportunities for students who are prepared to meet today’s challenges and go on to become the world’s next generation of visionary leaders. In appreciation of your commitment to Havergal students and ongoing dedication to the school, we are pleased to share with you the Annual Report for the 2018–19 academic year. As you know, a Havergal education extends well beyond the classroom. Our Limitless Campaign continues to make great strides, having now surpassed the $13 million mark as it gains momentum. The result of this landmark initiative will allow our students to be part of an immersive educational environment that provides the inspiration to find their voices, to learn with and from each other and to develop lifelong bonds with peers, faculty, coaches and mentors. These experiences—along with access to a rigorous curriculum, numerous experiential learning and research opportunities, as well as engaging co-curricular activities—ensure that our students are prepared for the future. They develop the confidence to discover and establish their careers and passions as they find ways to make an impact in their communities. Today more than ever the world is in need of leadership. A Havergal education prepares students to anticipate and respond to challenges known and unknown, be representatives of change, bridge disciplines and divides, and develop solutions to complex problems— solutions that will benefit those on our campus, in our communities and around the world.

Your generous contributions are inextricably linked not only to the success of our students, but also to the lives they will go on to transform.

As you will see in the enclosed report, we have plenty to be proud about. We hope you enjoy reading the many successes of our 125th year. With your continued support, there will be many more to come.

Thank you for making an incredible impact.
