Campaign Updates INVEST IN OUR VISION
“The Science Center will bring this community closer. We get the chance to watch our campus evolve, to be a part of this new era for Waterford, and to really appreciate the change in the science program from great to even greater” — Lily M. Photo of Waterford Science Center Ground Breaking, April 8, 2022. Photo by Andrew Patteson. On April 8th we proudly celebrated the groundbreaking of our new, state-of-the-art Science Center and the launch of the public phase of Waterford Rises. It was a special occasion as we gathered the whole school and our community for a truly historic Waterford moment. In the run-up to the groundbreaking and celebration, several members of our community joined the campaign with truly
significant gifts. With this support, we enter the public phase having raised an incredible $25.5M of our $27M campaign target. We are so grateful to every family and individual for their investment in the vision for Waterford’s future, and we are now asking for everyone in the community to join this effort to help us reach and exceed our goal. Every dollar raised in the public phase helps us meet our vision of providing a world class liberal arts education for our current students and all who follow.
