May 7, 2021 is the 5th annual Day of Giving at PDS!

The Day of Giving is a 24-hour fundraising event that brings alumni, parents, parents of alumni, faculty and friends together in support of our school. As students are celebrating Blue and White Day, the entire community can demonstrate their own Panther Pride with a gift to the Annual Fund.

Help us reach our goal of 446 gifts to unlock a $50,000 gift from Curtis McGraw Webster '75. 

This year’s Commencement will mark 446 days from March 23, 2020, when our school life changed dramatically, to the end of this school year - a defining chapter at PDS. Faced with the challenges presented by the pandemic, faculty, staff, and administrators remained committed to ensuring an enriching learning environment where our students can grow as critical thinkers, compassionate community members and thoughtful leaders. 

On May 7th, we honor each day that our community has come together to ensure a safe and successful school year. Every member of our community has contributed to making this year possible.

Did you know this week is National Teacher Appreciation Week? Say thank you to a teacher that has had an impact on you or your child by making your gift in his or her honor. If a gift is made in honor of a current faculty or staff member, we will deliver a special PDS themed cookie to them with a note indicating that you honored them with a gift.
