Your support is vital in maintaining and improving the tradition of educational excellence at SBS. It takes a highly qualified faculty to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st Century. Tuition revenues and a small endowment held by the School only covers 94 – 96 percent of the cost an SBS education. Each year, SBS depends on gifts from current parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, foundations, corporations and friends for support in order to cover this shortfall.

Over the years, Second Baptist School has been blessed by the generosity of parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends. The investment has allowed the school to maintain first-class academic, fine arts, and athletic programs. However, independent private schools like SBS are either tuition-driven or endowment-driven institutions. Historically, SBS has been a tuition-driven environment, and as a result, the current endowment program stands at a lower level compared to other private schools in the country with a similar history, background, and focus. The current structure of the endowment supports one of the greatest strengths of the School – SBS teachers. In order to sustain a highly qualified faculty, the SBS community must refocus its commitment to the endowment program.
