Gifts to the Annual Fund are crucial to the financial health of the school today and help us as we build a strong foundation for the next 50 years!
At Vanguard, people matter, A large portion of the costs go to maintaining an outstanding faculty! Programs, Curriculum, technology, and facilities will change, but the people remain the greatest investment in our efforts to create a life-changing education. Tuition only covers a portion of our school's operating costs and through your annual participation, you provide essential academic opportunities for all Vikings. In short: their future success depends on your support today. Learn More Here.
Your gift, no matter the size, helps us fulfill our mission!
