Endowment
About the Endowment
The MPHS Endowment was created by a group of current and past parents and alumni to provide a permanent source of funding for the MPHS Foundation. The founders recognized that the Endowment represented a unique way to form a long-term public / private partnership with the school and continue its tradition of excellence and innovation.
75th Anniversary Legacy Campaign
In recognition of the 75th Anniversary of Myers Park High School, the Myers Park High School Foundation has launched a special initiative to strengthen the school’s future by launching a campaign to increase the endowment. Strengthening the endowment ensures reliable, long-term funding for the programs and opportunities that define a Myers Park education.
75th Anniversary Donors Circle
In addition, we are establishing the 75th Anniversary Donor Circle, an exclusive group of philanthropic leaders committed to advancing the Foundation’s endowment and sustaining the long-term vitality of Myers Park High School. Membership in this distinguished circle reflects a shared belief in the enduring importance of public education and the profound impact Myers Park continues to have on our community.
Participation in the 75th Anniversary Donor Circle begins with a minimum leadership contribution of $10,000, providing permanent funding to enhance academic excellence, expand student opportunities, and sustain critical programs that support student success for generations to come.
For more information about the Donors Circle, discuss giving options or make a multi-year pledge, please contact:
