Endowment Surpasses 2020 Goal of $5 Million!<br />

Seven Hills reached a significant milestone this August when our endowment surpassed $5 million—a goal set in 2014 as part of the<br />

school’s previous strategic plan, Approach 2020. Through an endowment initiative to honor retiring Head of School Bill Miller, continued<br />

generosity through the auction, and careful stewardship and investments, we have doubled our endowment in less than five years.<br />

A strong endowment enhances all aspects of the student experience by giving Seven Hills the financial flexibility to dream big and seize<br />

new and emerging opportunities. Practically, the power of our endowment provides annual revenue which otherwise would come from<br />

tuition increases. In fact, the endowment draw from earnings provided more than $220,000 in additional revenue last year.<br />

A heartfelt thank you to those listed below for helping us surpass our endowment goal by making an endowment gift in 2018-19.<br />

Together with supporters from years past, you have created an enduring legacy for the students of Seven Hills.<br />
