Dear PCDS Community:
We are thrilled to share with you that last fiscal year we had a record-breaking year of giving at Phoenix Country Day School—both in our Annual Fund and Tax Credit fundraising initiatives. Your incredible support and dedication to our school made this achievement possible—thank you!
Because of your generous contributions, we reached new heights in our efforts to provide exceptional education and opportunities to students from Pre-k through 12th grade. Your belief in our mission and your commitment to our school community have had a profound impact on the lives of our students, faculty, and staff.
This year’s success is a testament to the incredible spirit of generosity that defines PCDS. With your support, we were able to enhance our programs, offer scholarships, and create an environment that fostered growth, learning, and innovation.
As we celebrate this record-breaking achievement, we also look forward to the continued journey ahead. Support to our Annual Fund and Tax Credit not only strengthens our educational endeavors but also strengthens our bonds as a school family.
We hope you enjoy our Annual Report on Philanthropy— a way to recognize every member of our community who made a gift to our School last fiscal year, July 1, 2022–June 30, 2023.
Go Eagles!

ENDOWMENTS IN ACTION: KATHERINE DELONGY O’CON NOR SCHOLARSHIP MEMORIAL ENDOWMENT
Through the generosity of PCDS community members, the Katherine DeLongy O’Connor Scholarship Memorial Endowment is awarded to a student receiving financial aid who has demonstrated outstanding citizenship within the School and/or community. The award is intended to be used to pay the costs of School-related activities and trips for that student so that he or she may take advantage of special opportunities.
This past summer, these funds enabled Mia Warner, class of 2025, to join her PCDS peers and teachers for a wonderful 7-day French immersion trip to Québec City and Montreal, Canada.
“ I was able to go on my first trip out of the country thanks to the generosity of the Katherine DeLongy O’Connor Scholarship Memorial Endowment. From the moment I stepped onto the plane, I knew I would love every moment of this trip. Every day came with exciting events; there was never a dull moment.
This trip introduced me to experiences I would never have had in Arizona. I was able to see my first waterfall. A few of us were brave enough to cross the bridge over the waterfall— it was exhilarating! The beautiful architecture in Québec City and Montreal, the flowers, and even the weather are memories I will cherish with my PCDS classmates.
One of my favorite parts of the trip was exploring the different shopping areas within both cities. I enjoyed being able to walk around the streets like a local. The people were extremely patient and kind with me when I tried speaking French.
Thank you for this opportunity to travel to the gorgeous cities of Québec and Montreal.”
