Dear Central High community,
We are delighted to report that this Giving Tuesday, with your support and the generous $50,000 match from Mr. David Kahn (220), we collectively raised over $220,000 to support students and the Lancer community!
Every dollar, every hour, and every act of support is an investment in the future of Central High School.
Thank you for your thoughtful donation.
Your contribution — along with your commitment to give to your class gift campaigns — helps fund critical areas such as scholarships, experiential programs, student activities, and contributes to the expansion of the campus footprint to shape the future of dear High.
David’s gift is an integral part of the Leading the Way Capital Campaign. The campaign aims to support the school’s critical infrastructure, enhance educational programs, and provide students with the tools and resources they need to succeed in today’s world.
We all know how much dear High has shaped us, from the lifelong friendships to the lessons provided by formidable educators, that have stayed with us long after graduation.
Giving back isn’t just about financial support; it’s about ensuring that Lancer students get to have the same opportunities to grow, learn, and succeed.
Thank you for allowing AACHS to provide life-changing educational experiences.
Together, we continue to preserve the traditions that define dear High while building a foundation for students to dream big and achieve even more.
Whether you have volunteered your time, participated in school or alumni events, or simply stayed connected, we can’t thank you enough for giving back and sharing your time, talent, and energy with the next generation of Lancer students.
Celebrate Central. Cherish Central. Choose Central
