Foundation for Future Success Campaign
We are building the foundation that will help students for generations. Your support will ensure it happens.
At PHPS, we are launching a powerful, once-in-a-generation effort: our Foundation for Future Success comprehensive campaign. Over the next five years, we are raising $15 million to strengthen every facet of our school, including paying down the cost of our new campus, completing our gym and middle school spaces, and building the endowment that will sustain us for decades to come. PHPS is the oldest private school in Dallas serving students with learning differences, and our mission is unique. We help children build the foundational skills they need to return confidently to a mainstream classroom. Every gift, regardless of size, moves us closer to our goal. We’re inviting everyone who believes in our mission to join us. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, alumnus, or just someone who cares deeply about education that makes a difference, your support truly matters.
What We Have Accomplished
Since our search for a new property began in November 2024, we have raised approximately half of our total comprehensive campaign goal. Look where we are today! We began the school year in beautiful new facilities.
Students are learning in spaces designed for their needs, with ample natural light, outdoor play and learning spaces, and spectacular classrooms outfitted with the resources that help our PHPS owls thrive.
What Is Yet To Come
Funds raised through our Foundation for Future Success campaign will achieve three goals for the school: they will pay down the cost of our recent move to and renovation of our new facilities; they will allow for the finish-out of our recently constructed gymnasium as well as expansion and furnishing of our middle school classroom spaces; and, lastly, they will help the school establish robust endowed funds and operational reserves for generational sustainability.
Pay off the cost of our campus move and renovation
After sixty-two years on Preston Road, building conditions necessitated a move to a permanent new home. Thanks to board guidance and strategic philanthropy, PHPS bought and renovated a campus that will serve students for decades to come.
Finish out the gym and middle school spaces
The next strategic step for PHPS is to finish out the gymnasium, including flooring, locker rooms, and sports equipment, and to complete the expansion of the future middle school space on the second floor of our north building. These spaces will offer students places to learn and grow together.
Build reserves for operations, maintenance, and scholarhips
To become a generationally sustainable school capable of educating students for decades to come, we're establishing a strong foundation through robust operating reserves, maintenance, and scholarship funds.
Looking Ahead
What's Next? Finishing the Gymnasium
One of our first tasks ahead is to finish the interior of the gymnasium. Amenities of the finished gym will include retractable, ceiling-mounted basketball hoops, volleyball stanchions, PHPS-branded flooring, wall-padding, bleachers, and outfitted locker rooms. We anticipate our final cost of finishing the gymnasium to be $200,000. This project will begin once sufficient donations are secured, and installation would, as much as possible, avoid interruptions to our ongoing P.E. classes. While we invite donations of any size toward funding our gymnasium, a naming opportunity is available as well. If this project aligns with your giving priorities, please reach out to PHPS' Director of Development, Chase Eddington at ceddington@phps.org or call 972-200-1574, ext. 7.
