Miss Hall’s School Receives Historic $5 Million Gift

4/1/19—Miss Hall’s School (MHS) recently received its largest gift to date: $5 million from Theresa S. Thompson, an alumna from the Class of 1964.

The gift is dedicated to supporting innovative teaching by building on a tradition of academic excellence that dates to the school’s founding in 1898. Ms. Thompson’s historic contribution will attract and retain MHS faculty who create and lead rigorous courses that are rich in interdisciplinary, project-based, and collaborative learning.

Ms. Thompson, who has long been a supporter of Miss Hall’s, said, “I have been so moved by the teachers, coaches, and role models who work with students each day that I wanted to make a major contribution to MHS…I am proud to be a Miss Hall’s alumna, and I believe one of the ways we can show appreciation for what the school has meant in our lives is to support its important work in meaningful, substantive ways that make a difference in the lives of future women leaders.”
