Our future begins with a new vision for Seven Hills: to Build a school where every day gives every student a chance to Connect with someone or something that Inspires them.
Build. Connect. Inspire., the Campaign for The Seven Hills School, was taken on in order to fund the next phase of Seven Hills’ success and growth. It’s about the moments that spark learning, growth, and confidence in our children’s lives—and Build. Connect. Inspire. represents our moment as a school community. It’s the next chapter in a long history of generosity that has made possible everything we love about Seven Hills.
The multifaceted capital campaign was focused on investing in our campuses to further the comprehensive vision for the future of Seven Hills that imagined how we could use every space and every square foot of our campuses to support the widest range of learning opportunities and the strongest school community. This vision for our school, which was set forth in the 2012 Strategic Plan and strengthened by the2014 Master Site Plan created by the Board of Directors with the input of the whole community, identified the following top building priorities: an early childhood center on the Hillsdale Campus, a center for arts and leadership, and enhanced athletic facilities.
We approached this plan in three phases:
Phase One
Phase One aimed to secure resources for our most immediate needs by incorporating strategic investments in our Lower School facilities and also investing in some of our athletic facilities. Our capital fundraising efforts resulted in $8 million, which allowed us to build the Nellie Leaman Taft Early Childhood center on the Hillsdale Campus, complete renovations to Jones Hall and the new Kemper playground on the Doherty Campus, and build the Lower Fields Athletic Complex.
Phase Two
Phase Two focused on adding facilities that will help Build our community and Inspire our students to Connect with one another and the larger world. Specifically, raising $20 million to invest in the six new tennis courts built in the summer of 2018,and the construction, which is now under way on a new four-court field house and The Schiff Center auditorium facility. All buildings will open by the beginning of the 2019-20 school year. By the start of the 2019-20 school year, with the Build.Connect.Inspire. Campaign Phases One and Two completed, our investment of nearly $30 million will have yielded three new buildings, two additional athletic fields and six new tennis courts, a new playground, and numerous renovations.
Phase Three
Phase Three is being identified in our more recent strategic planning process, currently underway.
