STUDENTS EARN NATIONAL AND STATE WOMEN IN TECH AWARDS
My amazing teachers, Mr. Bergman and Mr. Renton, helped me discover my passion for computer science and taught me more than I could have imagined. I now feel EMPOWERED to embrace my strengths and am confident that I can make a difference in the world! – Sara Burns Gibson '21
ONE WORD: Empowered
Our faculty are passionate and lead students in interactive and discussion-based lessons, so students don't just absorb ideas, they question them, discern and define them in their own terms, and apply them to their lives. Curiosity is nurtured as an essential tool in building knowledge and understanding. Support from generous donors like you gives our Cyclones the ability to find new passions that they never knew they possessed.
I see the impact of my 12 years at Porter-Gaud every day in my life. My former classmates share each other's happy moments, difficulties, successes, and new births. We are united as brothers because of the bonds we forged during our time at PG, in the classroom, and on the playing field. At Porter-Gaud you don't just make friends, you build a FAMILY! – Tejbir Dhindsa '08
ONE WORD: Family

Your gift ensures a standard of excellence for Porter-Gaud, which is widely regarded as one of the top independent schools in the Southeast.
When I was in second grade and going through my battle with cancer, I saw how at Porter-Gaud I was surrounded by good, caring, and nice people. Kids younger and older than me were supportive not only when I was sick but still even now that I am healthy! – Gideon Sniderman '28
