Giving

Class Gift Program

A Tradition of Gratitude, Community, and Legacy

Since 1998, Westminster families have come together to honor each graduating class through the Class Gift program. Originally established as the Sixth Form Gift, the program invites parents, grandparents, and students to support a project that reflects the class and enriches life on Williams Hill.

Over time, class gifts have strengthened student life, faculty support, financial aid, athletics, campus gathering spaces, and other important priorities. Each project becomes part of the class’ Westminster legacy and a lasting gift to the students who follow.
