Our Continuing Journey The education our children are receiving today has been made possible by Mulgrave’s founding families. We stand on their shoulders. While we celebrate our successes, there is so much more for us to do to continue Mulgrave’s journey: Raise our sights with the new vision. Build on our existing strengths. Address our challenges.
This project is our opportunity to benefit our own children and “pay it forward” to future generations.

No one else is going to make this happen.
Success of the Capital Campaign rests with us.
