Building Together, Soaring Beyond: The Future of Fuqua School
Message from the Head of school
Over the next year, you’ll witness the exciting transformation of our campus as construction begins on a brand-new Upper School at Fuqua School. This state-of-the-art facility will serve grades 7-12, providing enhanced learning spaces, modern safety features, administrative offices, and inviting community areas. This project is more than just meeting current needs; it’s a key milestone in our forward-looking vision for the future of Fuqua.
Our new Upper School building is part of a comprehensive strategy to equip our students for success in academics and beyond, fostering lives of purpose, character, and impact. Thoughtful planning, coupled with active engagement with our community—students, parents, faculty, and alumni—drives this initiative. This project is a critical step in securing our school’s legacy while creating an environment that inspires the next generation.
To date, we’ve secured close to $2.5 million in private donations and pledges, with plans to raise an additional $3.5 million over the next three years as part of our Building Together, Soaring Beyond Capital Campaign. But to reach this goal, we need everyone in our extended Fuqua Family to join us. Your participation is essential to providing our students with the most enriching and supportive educational environment possible.
Occasionally, we are given the chance to make a lasting impact. This is one of those rare opportunities—a chance to turn bricks, metal, and concrete into a place where students will be empowered to soar toward their future. This building represents a legacy for generations to come, and that opportunity is now!
