Capital Campaign
With the completion of Phases I and II of the Beyond Boundaries Capital Campaign, we purchased 15.5 acres of land located near the intersection of Howell Mill and Huff Roads, and are constructing one permanent classroom building, a gymnasium and a multi-purpose facility on the new campus of The Howard School. We moved into our new home in January of 2007.
To pay for the land and the initial buildings, $18,150,000 was needed. We budgeted $10,150,000 from charitable donations and $8 million from the sale of the two campuses. We sold our property on Willeo Road in 2004 and the Ponce de Leon site in 2007.
The first permanent building to be constructed is the Classroom Building. Ultimately intended as an Arts House, initially the Classroom Building will house up to 220 students. It is designed to keep the high school separate from the middle and lower schools and to accommodate growth. Adjacent to the Classroom Building is a multi-purpose facility that is used as a lunchroom and a meeting space. In addition, the campus includes a gymnasium, playgrounds for the younger children, outdoor basketball courts and playing fields for soccer and track.
Future phases will focus on the construction of three additional permanent buildings for Early Learning/Lower School, Middle School, and High School. True to Howard School's sense of community, our new campus was planned by the individuals who guide the children in their learning: our teachers. In partnership with Atlanta-based architects Niles Bolton Associates and our Board of Trustees, Howard's teachers and staff have designed structures that reflect the way we teach, with plenty of room for flexibility, freedom and creativity.

We are deeply grateful for the community's support in helping us realize our vision for the future. Local Atlanta foundations, corporations, parents, grandparents and friends went beyond the boundaries of historical giving to provide a new home for our students, faculty and staff.
