• Our graduates are outperforming their peers at our
country’s leading independent schools on 90% of all categories, while matching them on the other 10%. • Our 6th graders have an average reading level of a 9th grader. • Our boys’ achievement scores in all grades consistently exceed their ability/reasoning scores in all subject areas by an average of 12-20%.
• Because we’ve brought to PDS some of the best consultants and minds on teaching, learning, boys and the 21st century. • Because we’ve got five reading specialists. • Because we have SmartBoards in all our classrooms and 3 technology coaches to work with teachers. • Because we’ve hired teachers with advanced degrees. • Because we have great resources in the science lab.
Our boys are meeting and exceeding their predicted potential, and they are outperforming their peers in the toughest comparison group in the country.
• Because we fund teacher requests for the best instructional resources, textbooks and the like. I could go on. The point is this. Our output is as good as our input. If
They are also thriving after they graduate from PDS. They are earning a disproportionate number of academic honors and recognition at MUS and St. George’s. Almost 50% of our graduates earned a place on the MUS Honor Roll last year. They are continuing to excel as scholars and leaders. Why do our boys do so well at PDS? Why do they overachieve? Why do they excel in their future schools?

Recently, Mark Fruitt, our Upper School Head, came to me with a request to send several of our Upper School teachers to a national math conference.

As we consider professional development requests for this year, requests for curricular resources, requests for music equipment, requests for athletic equipment, and the like, it is the annual fund that makes the difference between yes and no. It makes a huge difference to the boys of PDS. For the many of you who made gifts to PDS last year, please allow this report and recognition to convey our gratitude. I hope your investments in PDS bring you as much fulfillment as do the ones that Sarah and I make. If you have not invested in PDS lately or before, I invite your support. Your gifts make a great school even better. They will make this city better. They will make the next generation better. What a joy it is to be a part of this warm, loving and fun community. One of our boys said earlier this fall that PDS is better than Disneyworld and the beach. I agree. We are all so blessed to be a part of the PDS community, and on behalf of 617 boys, I thank you for your investments that open their doors, enhance their learning, and offer them the priceless values of a PDS education.
