Athletics

From one of the most competitive athletic conferences in the US to club sports, Govs students experience the joy of being on a team and trying something new. Your gift helps ensure that our student-athletes have the facilities and resources they need to compete and see just how far they can go.

Support of our arts programming helps strengthen our commitment to artistic excellence, where students can test the limits of their creativity and flourish as young artists.

Your support means that every student can thrive in a rich learning environment where they form life-long friendships and grow as empowered leaders to pursue their passions and fulfill their ambitions.
