Senior Legacy Gift

Class of 2026 Senior Parent and Grandparent Campaign

Following a long-standing tradition, parents and grandparents can create a legacy for the 2026 Senior class and show gratitude to the School by making a collective gift.

Spectator enhancements at Knowles Field

This year, the Class of 2026 is supporting enhancements to the spectator experience around Knowles Field. Opportunities for community gathering and student support have grown significantly in recent years as the School has invested in the Gil Minor '59 Community Pavilion and field lighting. Attendance at events in this area of campus continues to increase, and the School has identified a thoughtful plan to further enhance the experience for supporters of the Saints.

We encourage you to contribute as generously as you can. In appreciation for your support, the Class of 2026 will be recognized within this enhanced space through commemorative bricks bearing students’ names.

Knowles Field Enhancements

Creating a Viewing Knoll

To better utilize the space between the Community Pavilion and the grandstands, the School has proposed the creation of a new viewing knoll that will enhance sight-lines and comfort for spectators at athletic events. The knoll will rise to approximately 3.6 feet at its peak and provide full-field views, mirroring the popular grassy slopes around the Community Pavilion. The area will be landscaped with shade trees to create a comfortable gathering space during warmer months.

Renovated Grandstand and Press Box

The existing grandstand and press box are nearing the end of their useful life and are ready for a much-needed transformation. The School has developed a plan to reimagine the current structure to better serve both spectators and students. We are particularly excited to provide our outstanding Sports Information broadcasters with a modern press box designed to support live streaming and game-day broadcasting. During the 2025–2026 school year, more than 40 students will participate in this program.
 
While plans are still being finalized, we have included renderings below that reflect our vision for the updated grandstand and press box.
