GIVING DAY

Tuesday, November 12
Be a Hero

Support the Heroes of PDS!

Our teachers and coaches may not leap tall buildings, but they have the superpower of making every boy feel capable, confident, and valued. Your support helps unleash their full potential.

Give to the Annual Fund and be the wind beneath our heroes’ capes.

Tuition dollars cover just under 90% of the true cost of educating a PDS boy.

Volunteers Needed

We can't wait for our second Giving Day! We need lots of volunteers to help us make some noise during drop-off! We also need volunteers to help us as we thank our wonderful donors. You may sign up for as many slots as you would like. If you cannot make the full hour, that's totally fine—stop by as you are able!

Join Us: Make a Difference.

Today’s boys are tomorrow’s ground-breakers. One day, it will be up to them to make the world better. We’ll do our best to help them be prepared. That’s why it’s critical to build a foundation of problem-finding, mind-changing, idea-making, and good-doing that they can carry for their entire lives.
PDS is a special and unique school, and a PDS boy is far from ordinary. Your investment in the PDS Annual Fund helps the school remain at the forefront of education.
