Working Together. Serving Our School.
The Friends of Peirce Board
The Friends of Peirce Board consists of dedicated representatives, elected by our own school community. We lead with purpose and reflection, focused on making a lasting impact on our students' lives at this vital Chicago public school.
What the Board of Directors Does (Fundraising & Impact)
As a Board, we are active participants who intentionally plan, coordinate, and manage all fundraising initiatives and financial resources. This supports the core Friends of Peirce Mission of enriching the experience of every student.
Each year, the school administration shares key funding priorities with us, ensuring our collective action supports the greatest needs. Historically, our annual commitments total around $65,000, which is vital funding for everything from arts and enrichment to classroom resources.
