Storm Proof: Good Shepherd Getting New Multi-Purpose Gym
Good Shepherd Episcopal School’s $11 million Fit For Our Future fundraising campaign, which kicked off in August 2023, hit the 70 percent mark, clearing way for a December groundbreaking.
The campus will add a 14,983-square-foot multi-use space for physical education classes, sporting events, and school community gatherings.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have the support of donors who believe in the transformative power of education and who are willing to invest in the future of our school,” campaign co-chair Calvert Collins-Bratton said. “Our entire school community has contributed to the collective effort to build a stronger, more vibrant campus for our students.”
The project also will include an upgraded space for the school’s signature Classroom of the Earth (COE) program, and the new gymnasium will serve as a Category 5 storm shelter.
Head of school Julie McLeod praised the work and vision of trustees and other campus leaders.
“We are thrilled to honor and celebrate the widespread community support for this project and the impact it will have on our campus and on our students,” she said.
