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.

Learn how you can help in our construction of a 19,000 square foot, 400-seat performing arts space located on campus that includes an art gallery; a media arts center; band, chorus and dramatic arts rooms. This space will be large enough to house whole school assemblies, visiting speakers, grandparent day performances, commencement, the spring art festival, the fall play and spring musical.

  • 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
  • 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

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
