Senior Gift
The first Senior Gift Campaign was in 1982 and achieved an impressive 61% participation. Since then classes have challenged themselves to out perform their predecessors.
The current record is held by the Class of 2014, who blew away all records with 98.1% participation. As a result, the class is currently the proud holder of the coveted President's Cup, which is given to the class with the highest senior gift participation.
