The Power of PARK

THE PARK SCHOOL STRATEGIC PLAN: 2022-2027

In the spring of 2022, Park’s Board of Trustees adopted a comprehensive 5-year Strategic Plan that calls for an integrated strengthening of each of the six areas of the school: Philosophy, People, Program, Plant, Pipeline, and Promotion.

The successful completion of the Plan will result in a vibrant, impactful and sustainable Park School. Success will be measured through the following goals:

• Increase enrollment to 340 students
• Continue to place 100% of its graduates into best-fit colleges and universities through the most personalized college counseling program in Western New York
• Attract and retain a well-qualified, diverse faculty dedicated to Park’s mission and traditions
• Increase faculty salaries by 5% each year
• Increase endowment to $10 million
• Increase ancillary revenue streams by $100,000 annually
• Enhance and renovate academic, arts, and athletic spaces

THE POWER OF PARK: COMPREHENSIVE INVESTMENT CAMPAIGN

To achieve these goals, the school needs to grow its endowment – in order to increase scholarship funds and faculty compensation. At the same time, it also needs to invest in its facilities – in order to provide premier academic, artistic, and athletic programming.

Over the next 5 years, 2023–2028, Park seeks to raise $10+ million for the following purposes:

• Increase the Endowment
• Create a visual and performing arts center
• Create a distinct Middle School space by converting the black box theater to four new classrooms
• Renovate the interior of the Library Learning Center
• Convert Karrer Field to a turf field lined for soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey
• Create a more inviting Harlem Road entrance and upgrade exterior and interior of Rich Activity Center
• Renovate the façade of Stone Hall
• Expand and renovate tennis courts to become tournament ready
• Increase campus security by installing automatic locking doors on all buildings
