California Green Ribbon Schools Award

On Earth Day, Priory was awarded a 2020 California Green Ribbon Schools honor by the U.S. Department of Education. Priory was only one of fi ve schools in the state to be identifi ed as a “Green Achievers” honoree, which is the highest level of recognition that the school can achieve. Priory is also this year’s CAPSO (California Association of Private School Organizations) honoree, which signifi es that Priory is the only private school recognized at the national level. According to Sustainability Coordinator Hovey Clark, “the award recognizes our eff orts in sustainable campus operations and green building, our commitment to health and wellness in all sectors of the school community, and the school’s educational program which balances STREAM, service learning, and stewardship.” In August, Mr. Clark will take part in a Virtual Celebration Week sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education to receive the honor for the school.

Beyond the Brick An investment in the Priory’s future.

It is a Priory tradition to create and install a commemorative brick for every senior whose family supports the Annual Fund. Installed in the Al Zappelli Alumni Courtyard as symbols of the building blocks Priory has provided to launch our graduates into a world in need of their gifts. Each brick is inscribed with the graduate’s name and class year - tangible evidence of the mark each student has made on the school and the students who will follow in their footsteps.

Beyond the bricks, the Board of Trustees establish a Class Legacy Fund endowment in honor of each graduating class. Consider joining the Trustees by honoring your graduate with a gift to Priory’s Class Legacy Fund.

The Class Legacy Fund Endowment will eventually provide the opportunity for a new generation of Panthers to reach beyond their grasp while at the same time, ensuring the long term strength and viability of the Priory.

Congratulations Class of 2020!
