Parent Annual Fund Campaign October 2-9

Current Parent Participation: 77%

Still time to make a gift or pledge! 

Why Your Support Matters

At University Liggett School, tuition provides the foundation of a Liggett education, but it is the Annual Fund that fuels the everyday excellence and extraordinary opportunities our students experience.

When parents unite through the Annual Fund, we strengthen academics, support dedicated faculty, enrich athletics and the arts, and provide the extras that make our school community vibrant and strong.

Every gift, no matter the size, is a statement of support for our students and a reflection of our shared commitment as parents. Help us reach 100% parent participation. Together, Knights Unite to ensure every child can shine, grow, and thrive at Liggett.

Enhancing Educational Programs

The Annual Fund allows us to go beyond the basics, providing resources for innovative programs, advanced technology, and diverse extracurricular activities that enrich our students' learning experiences.

Supporting Faculty Excellence

Your contributions help us attract and retain exceptional faculty by providing competitive salaries, professional development opportunities, and the tools they need to inspire and challenge our students.

Maintaining and Improving Facilities

To offer the best learning environment, we need to continually invest in our facilities. The Annual Fund supports maintenance and upgrades to classrooms, laboratories, athletic fields, and other vital areas of our campus.

Fostering a Strong Community

Your gift demonstrates your belief in our mission and fosters a sense of shared responsibility and pride among all members of the University Liggett School community. When we come together, our collective contributions make a significant impact.

During our Parent Annual Fund Campaign, October 2–9, we invite you to stand with us. When Knights Unite, every gift strengthens teaching, enriches programs, and ensures our children thrive at Liggett.
