The opening of new Upper School Building was a historic milestone in Dana Hall's rich history.
Funding the Future
The renovation and reimagination of one of the most iconic learning spaces on campus is a funding priority of the Fearless Futures: The Campaign for Dana Hall. The Upper School Building is critical to ensuring our vibrant, project-based curriculum is fully realized in every class and studio. More than $31.7 million has been donated to date—a record for a Dana Hall project.
Take a Stand for Dana Hall and Have a Seat!
With a pledge of $2,500, you will be able to personalize a seat in the new and expanded Waldo Auditorium. Use the seat plaque to honor your daughter or daughters, or a favorite Dana classmate, teacher or administrator.
By expressing your support for the future of Dana Hall, you can "have a seat" in one of the School’s signature gathering spots. The $2,500 pledge is payable over several years.
