Reunion Giving: Join the Tradition

Whether it’s been five or fifty years since you graduated, this May marks a special occasion for your class. Reunions are an opportunity to reflect on the impact George School had on your life and the lives of your classmates.

In honor of your reunion, please consider making a gift to support the people, places, and programs that make George School special. Reunion giving is a tradition that links Georgians of every generation. Your generosity honors the past and supports the future.

Together, we light the way for students on their journey to “let their lives speak.”
