Wonderful Provision
Rise continues to plan its fundraising and hiring goals in alignment with the major initiatives in the journey ahead.
A note on life outside the classroom
Welcome to Life at Rise. Ask any of our graduates what they remember most, and you’ll hear as much about a service Saturday at Heron’s Head, a locker-room pep talk before a playoff game, or a campfire at Henry Cowell as you will about any single class.
That’s not an accident. We build athletics, the arts, faith formation, clubs, and Experience Week into the fabric of the school year because character isn’t formed by lecture alone — it’s formed by practice, by teammates, by showing up for your neighbor and for each other.
Take a look through the pages that follow to see what that actually looks like, week to week, at Rise.
Advocate Program
The Rise Scholar Advocate Program is one of the most direct ways donors support Rise students. Advocates are paired with a student and walk alongside them relationally throughout their time at Rise and help fund their student’s education. Our hope is that by graduation, every scholar can point to five to more adults who championed them along the way – and Advocates are a core part of that group of people.
Throughout the year, Advocates connect with their students through:
Held once in the fall and once in the spring, these days bring all advocates together to connect with their student, share lunch, and see what their student is learning.
Students write letters to their advocates throughout the school year.
Advocates can visit Rise and schedule lunch with their student anytime during the school year.
Advocates are invited to choir performances, sporting events, science exhibitions, drama performances, and any other events their student takes part in.
