Upper School Deans Fund

As the Class of 2025 nears the end of its time at Pace, it's easy to focus on the future and the excitement that the next year holds. But before these students leave the halls behind for new beginnings, it's important to take a look back as well. Each senior has come this far with the guidance and support of Pace faculty and staff, and class deans are integral to that experience. Pace's dedicated deans provide invaluable academic and personal counsel from ninth grade through graduation, helping each student navigate their Upper School journey.

In recognition of the critical role class deans play for both students and their families, Pace is proud to introduce the Deans Fund. This fund will enhance Upper School student life and mental health programming–two areas where class deans make a direct and lasting impact. Specifically, gifts will support programs that benefit students and provide professional development opportunities for our deans, allowing them to grow in service to Pace students while also helping equip other Upper School faculty with the skills to support students effectively.

Contributions to the Deans Fund will not only recognize the tireless work of our class deans but also help shape the lives of current and future students, ensuring access to the resources and opportunities necessary to thrive both academically and personally. Families who make a gift in honor of a graduating senior, will see their student recognized as making a gift in honor of Krista Wilhelmsen, dean of the Class of 2025.

Questions about the Deans Fund may be directed to Director of Advancement Heather White. Pace is deeply grateful for the continued support of the community and invites families to join in the parting tribute by making a gift to the Deans Fund today.
