That’s a wrap on our 2021 Graduation Gala.

Our 2021 Graduation Gala was a success, raising $300,000 for our family of schools. During this virtual event, we reflected on a year of remote learning, celebrated our first graduating class of 8th grade scholars, and recognized our 115-year anniversary.

We welcomed more than 200 guests to hear from our teachers and scholars and enjoy performances by our Elementary School choir and Miguel Cervantes, star of Hamilton.  Thank you to all whose support, passion, and dedication helped us achieve these milestones. 

SAVE THE DATE! THE 2022 ANNUAL BENEFIT WILL BE HELD MAY 5, 2022.

We look forward to celebrating what is sure to be another exciting and successful year of providing the high-quality education to students and ensuring a bright future in all they pursue. Until then, we welcome you to stay connected with Christopher House and support the programs that help our families and communities thrive.
