Dent School Addition Paused

The Board of Trustees, at its July 14, 2009 meeting, decided to place a "hold" on our planned addition to the School.

The economic downturn has placed enormous unforeseen obstacles to the project, changing our careful assumptions for fundraising, tuition and enrollment, and our borrowing capacity.

The need for space still exists and the addition we have planned remains our best hope to meet the needs of our educational program. Our fundraising campaign, "Making a Greater Dent," will continue to enhance our programs and grow the endowment with the expectation that we will restart the building project when the time is right.
