The Campaign For Excellence & Access

Thank you to our generous community. Your legacy is excellence and access.

The Campaign for Excellence & Access began as an initiative to support three pillars critical to the Western Reserve Academy student experience — its faculty, its financial aid offerings and its unparalleled campus. Over the years, the Campaign stayed true to its course but rose to heights we could not have foreseen. In October 2018, we concluded the campaign with $86.5 million raised by our generous and loyal alumni, parents and friends of the WRA community.

Never before in the school's history have we reached a fundraising goal of this magnitude. It not only exceeded our hopes but it confirmed the strength of our community's devotion and faith in our school. We stand ready to meet our next century of challenges and triumphs and look forward to welcoming the next generation of Pioneers.

Thank you to all who made this tremendous achievement possible.

The Campaign was chaired by Martin D. Franks '68 during the tenure of Head of School Christopher D. Burner and Co-Presidents of the Board of Trustees, Timothy R. Warner '69 and Andrew R. Midler '79
