Capital Campaign for Kiski - Phase II Update
The School was proud to publicly announce that we are slightly over $2 million and more than 50 percent of the way toward our Second Phase goal of $3.5 million in new capital funding. The beginning and quiet phase of the campaign was very successful and now the School will be talking with and soliciting a new round of donors so that we can meet and exceed the goal allowing us to build the new Swank Student Center for Kiski.

The new Swank Student Center will enhance the campus environment by centralizing and expanding facilities to support student activities, academic services, community gathering and other important offerings. Located in the heart of campus, the Center will allow students from every grade to interact and socialize together, bringing a new dimension to the Kiski experience. Relocating and enlarging the bookstore and snack bar, both presently housed on the north edge of campus, will make these resources readily available to students, teachers, parents and other visitors. A state-of-the-art media center, several student meeting rooms and advisory offices will facilitate greater educational opportunity through hands-on learning and group study sessions. Most importantly, moving the College Counseling Office into the Student Center will enable our guidance staff to interact daily with each boy, while providing an appropriate location for college representatives to meet with our students. The Swank Student Center will quickly become the hub of student life and extracurricular learning on campus.
In addition to the $3.5 million that will be raised for the new Swank Student Center, Kiski is also actively raising new funding to support scholarships, athletics, the arts, technology, and the endowment.
