About the Campaign

From the Campaign Chair

Dear US Community,

When we launched Lead & Serve in October, we set out with both ambition and confidence—ambition in the scale of our goal, and confidence in the strength of this community to see it through. The updates that follow share our significant progress since the launch.

My own connection here spans decades. As a member of the Class of ’72, and as the father of three sons who each charted their own individual path through US, I’ve seen firsthand how the school shapes young men, not only in what they achieve, but in who they become. That continuity, across generations, is something I value more with each passing year.

Today, there is a distinct energy on campus. Interest in the school is strong, and the sense of purpose is unmistakable. This is a school that knows who it is and where it is going.

We have made remarkable progress together. What remains is the equally important work of finishing what we started, ensuring that the opportunities we cherish today endure for the boys who will follow.

Thank you for your commitment to this shared effort.
