Why Give
The new Upper School building promises both the collaborative and private spaces teachers, students, and parents require to think, plan, learn, debate, study, and dig deeper into the subjects that shape their education and lives. Designed in the style of Colcock Hall at the Medical University of South Carolina, the original home of Porter Military Academy, the new Upper School will honor Porter-Gaud’s strong academic roots and continue to elevate rigor and excellence for generations to come.

"The new Upper School is more than just a "New Age" learning center, it is a symbol of Porter-Gaud's continuing commitment to excellence in education. The building is designed for efficiency, collaboration, and inspiration and will give our faculty, administration, and students facilities which match their needs. This project is not an elective; it is an essential if we are to continue to keep our place as the educational leader locally, regionally, and in the Southeast."
