List of 6 items.

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is the most important philanthropic priority of our school, and it offers donors the flexibility to direct their gifts to the budgeted need they choose to support. This means that your generosity assists Pegasus in developing the great programs, great people, and great places that are most important to your family.

The Annual Fund kicks off each year at Back to School Night, and we request that every Pegasus family make a tax-deductible contribution.
Annual Gala

In the Spring, volunteers from The Pegasus School community host a fabulous fundraising Gala, with the support of The Advancement Office. All school families are encouraged to participate, be it through helping secure sponsorships or auction donations, as well as attending the event.
Capital Campaign
To realize the goals identified in our Strategic Plan, the Board of Trustees initiated the Roots to Grow, Wings to Soar capital campaign.
- The installation of a state-of-the-art Science and Technology Center was completed in August, 2020.
- The plans for Phase II include invigorating the campus and community with a new Library.
Capital campaign gifts are significantly larger than annual fund contributions and therefore may be paid over a multi-year period.
Legacy of Excellence

Our Legacy of Excellence endowment means that this vibrant academic community is grounded in a solid foundation. Although endowment principal is untouched, a percentage of its investment return supports three of our critical funds: Vision, FIT and Bright Stars.
