Class of 2027 Gift
The Class of 2027 Gift: A community space for Martlets now and for generations to come
What is the Class of 2027 Gift?
Each year, Fifth Form families come together to dedicate time and pool their resources to make a meaningful and transformative gift to Westminster. Students and parents in the Class of 2027 have chosen Natural Bleachers in the Hovey Field Hillside as their Class Gift. It’s a shared expression of gratitude for our students’ experience and a chance to support a project that will enrich campus life for generations to come. Together, we are creating an enduring legacy at Westminster—one our students can enjoy now and return to as proud alumni.
Why are we raising funds during the students' Fifth Form Year?
By raising funds for the Class of 2027 Gift before Commencement (May 23, 2026), construction can take place over the summer so the gift is ready when our students return in the fall as Sixth Formers, allowing them to see the project come to life, understand its impact, and help shape how the community uses the space.
Our goal is to raise at least $175,000, and for 100% of Class of 2027 families and students to participate in this exciting project!

“We support the Class of 2027 Gift out of deep gratitude for the years our son has spent growing, learning, and thriving at Westminster.
