• McFall Hall at night

    Originally named Memorial Hall upon completion in 1961, the school cafeteria was once the location for school plays, Brunch and other special events. In 15 months, it was expanded from 9,500 square feet to 15,500 square feet with expansions to the south (patio), west (Mooreland Rd.) and north (school service area). It now offers four serving areas plus an extensive salad and sandwich bar.

Investing in arts, innovation and community

Collegiate School is pleased to announce we have succesfully completed the $500,000 matching grant challenge from The Mary Morton Parsons Foundation of Richmond, Virginia.

A Community Challenge

Thanks to the generosity of many donors, Collegiate raised the necessary funds to meet and exceed the challenge grant goal enabling us to complete the McFall Hall renovation and begin the Oates Theater expansion. 

“We are so grateful to the Collegiate community for supporting these important capital projects. Thank you.”

— Kristen Williams, Chief Development Officer

OATES THEATER

The Oates Theater in the Hershey Center for the Arts is undergoing a beautiful renovation and expansion. The interior will be dramatically redesigned to better accommodate our students and faculty and updated with the latest technology in lighting and audio.

MCFALL HALL

The completion of renovations for McFall Hall, our Middle and Upper School cafeteria, offers a central anchor point for our campus, healthier eating environment and breakout spaces for student/faculty use during off hours.

STEAM

The enhancement of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) curriculum will include a dedicated innovation space, enabling our students to better explore this multifaceted area of study with focus and flexibility.
