The opening of The Museum School presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It is a chance for our community to provide the highest quality education to local students and prove that a concerned and dedicated citizenry can effect positive change. But we need your help. We must raise $400,000 for critical site preparation and facility costs. We are well on our way to realizing this ambitious yet attainable goal, but we need the participation of the entire community.

On Monday, Aug. 9, the halls of The Museum School filled with eager young faces and excited new staff as the first set of students began the inagural year.
The opening of the first academic year marks the culmination of a tremendous community effort to bring quality public education to local families. The success of The Museum School is a shared triumph and one in which every volunteer should take pride.
The school's staff and leadership would like to thank everyone who helped bring this ambitious goal to fruition. We look back on the past two years with great pride and forward to the school's future with much anticipation.
