CHARLOTTE COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL
Tennis Coach Calvin Davis visited with Stuart Sherrill ’92 and Robin Branstrom on campus in late September.
Under prudent management, these resources support dynamic programming, scholarships that ensure a diverse community of learners, and top-notch educators who remain at the forefront through robustly funded professional development. Country Day’s endowment is the largest among independent schools in North Carolina, distinguishing our leadership and culture of philanthropy.
One such example of endowment support is from the Sherrill and Branstrom families and their quest to honor long-time tennis program coach Calvin Davis and his impact at Country Day. Together with their families, Stuart Sherrill ’92, Glenn Sherrill ’89, their father and his wife Ron and Paulette Sherrill, and their mother and her husband Bill and Robin Branstrom created The Calvin Davis Endowed Scholarship Fund.
