Capital Campaign

Sage Ridge Capital campaign

Alongside the Sage Ridge School Annual Fund and Annual Gala, the school’s Capital Campaign, “Achieve, Innovate and Magnify” (AIM), funds specific brick-and-mortar projects and builds the school’s endowment.

Beginning with an initial gift from the Redfield Foundation, a 40+ acre site on which Sage Ridge School was built, capital giving has been fundamental to the school’s growth. The Webster, Crossbow and E.L. Wiegand Student Activity Center buildings exist due to the generosity of numerous benefactors.

Achieve, Innovate and Magnify

The most recent capital campaign, “Achieve, Innovate and Magnify” (AIM) supports the build-out of Sage Ridge’s campus to better serve the educational and facility needs of the growing community.

The first phase of AIM, envisioned in 2016 by a group of families with a dream, was made possible in fall 2023 by generous contributions from the community. It included the opening of the Sage Ridge School E.L. Wiegand Student Activity Center.

The 24,000-square-foot Wiegand Student Center boasts the 13,000-square-foot Ernest J. Primm Gymnasium with bleacher seating capacity for 875 as well as a state-of-the-art fitness center, modern locker rooms including the Joan M. Primm Girls Locker Room, an athletic office, concession stand, concourse, trophy case area and multipurpose academic and social Cory and Deborah Clemetson Lounge and the Primm Family Lounge.

Future AIM phases include an Innovation Lab and a Performing Arts Theater.
