On May 11, close to 400 alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends gathered on Belmont Field to celebrate the public launch of Lives of Consequence , the Campaign for St. Mark's School. The choir kicked off the evening's program with an a capella rendition of "Age Quod Agis." Remarks by Head of School John C. Warren '74, Board President Alys Reynders Scott '85, P '21, and Campaign Chair Bill Burgess '77, P '07, P'08 ​ were followed by dancing under the big top tent.

This $115 million campaign is the School's most ambitious fundraising campaign in its history. With the partnership of St. Markers around the globe, this campaign will ensure that our commitment to preparing students for lives of leadership and service will endure for generations to come. To date, the campaign has raised more than $73 million. The STEM Center, the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning, the Global Citizenship Program, the T. Jefferson Coolidge Jr. '50 Athletic Performance and Wellness Center, and a number of other achievements were completed as part of the campaign's first phase.

The cornerstone of the next phase of the campaign is building a residence hall on Main Campus. The Annual Fund, a Faculty Excellence Fund, financial aid endowment, and an endowed chair for the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning make up the other priorities of this second phase.
