In recent years, tax cap legislation and dramatic increases in our student population have led New Trier, like many other public schools around the country, to reach out for private support to enrich its educational program.  Through a partnership with New Trier alumni, friends and our District neighbors, the New Trier Educational Foundation seeks to expand its funding of programs that are beyond the reach of the District 203 budget.  By supplementing public funds with private philanthropy we will ensure that New Trier continues to set the standard of quality for public secondary school education.
