Redefining School Athletics and community:
INVEST IN OUR ATHLETICS PILLAR
St. Andrew’s future Athletic Complex and Student Union will be a vibrant hub where students can connect, build friendships, and create lasting memories both on and off the courts.
It’s a symbol of commitment, passion, excellence and school pride.
From creating equitable practice schedules to providing space for transformative connections, the Athletics Complex & Student Union will be the heart of our school community. This is where future champions train, leaders collaborate, and students find a place to belong. With room to study, gather for clubs, or simply unwind in a safe and welcoming environment, this space is designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit of every student.
$24M has been raised toward our $32M goal, and we invite you to join us in shaping a vibrant future for St. Andrew’s. Together, let’s “Raise the Roof” to elevate our athletes, our students, and our entire school community. Learn more about how you can be part of this legacy here.
Elevating all Four Pillars in our Athletics Complex & Student Union
At St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, our commitment to nurturing the whole student through the Four Pillars –
Scholar, Artist, Athlete, and Servant – defines our approach to education.
Our Athletics Complex and Student Union is designed to foster these ideals, supporting our students’ growth across academic, artistic, athletic, and service-oriented pursuits. This new facility will help us build leaders, inspire creativity, strengthen our sense of community, and encourage a healthy balance of body and mind.
Building Community & Strength
This transformational facility is more than a collection of gyms — it’s the heart of our campus, designed to bring students and the entire St. Andrew’s community together. The Student Union will provide a vibrant gathering space where students can study, connect, and build lifelong friendships. It will house our Spirit Shop and serve as the home for cherished traditions like Graduations, St. Andrew’s Day, and other celebrations that unite us.
For our athletics and choreography programs, imagine state-of-the-art equipment, technology-enhanced training spaces, six cross courts, a dedicated dance studio, a film room, and purpose-built areas designed to support athletes and performers as they reach their fullest potential.
This is far more than a gym — it’s where we cultivate excellence, celebrate our school spirit, and strengthen the bonds of our community. Together, we’ll have the time, space, and resources to thrive.
Every practice, gathering, and every game will now embody St. Andrew’s unwavering commitment to excellence, teamwork, and community.
Student Leadership
Leaders are honed on and off the courts. Our Student Union will be the one-stop space for students to gather for study groups, student club meetings, refuel with snacks from the Spirit Shop and connect before home games.
"Being a student-athlete at St. Andrew's is about embracing a multifaceted role, where excellence is pursued both academically and athletically. Our students are rigorously challenged, fostering their development in each of our four pillars. The upcoming sports performance center, set to replace our current weight room, exemplifies our commitment to this holistic development. This state-of-the-art facility will significantly enhance our strength and conditioning programs, offering a dynamic space that aligns with our mission to cultivate healthy, well-rounded individuals. At St. Andrew’s, we're not just building athletes; we're dedicated to developing healthy human beings in every sense of the word."
Thomas Sale, Athletic Director
The Athletics Complex & Student Union is a transformative investment in our community. This space will dramatically enhance student quality of life by offering flexible practice schedules, the ability to host tournaments, and the ability to compete with home field advantage. Beyond athletics, these facilities serve everyone's well-being and self-care, fostering community spirit and injury prevention. The union is a vibrant space for students, alumni, and parents alike, symbolizing our commitment to past, present, and future community members.
Melissa Grubb, Head of School
I am really excited about the fact that our new Athletic Complex & Student Union is not just something that only serves the athletic pillar, but serves the student body as a whole, as servants and artists and scholars.
The Rev. Whitney Kirby, Upper School Chaplain
This campaign will holistically transform this community and all of our students across the board in every pillar. We’ve been living in facilities that sometimes work and sometimes don't work for us to fully live into our mission and fully deliver our program. From kindergarten through 12th grade, this campaign is going to give us the spaces to do what we are called to do.
