Doors to Discovery Campaign
Our $35 million campaign will open doors to the broadest range of possibilities today for our students to reach their fullest potential.
This mission-driven campaign will deliver on the goals and priorities of our strategic plan by investing in projects that make the greatest use of our campus, the smartest use of our resources, and target our greatest needs as a school.

Endowed Financial Aid
$9 MILLION
Opening doors to a life-changing education, fostering a diverse community
By raising our endowment for financial aid from $2 million to $11 million, we will be able to increase our socioeconomic diversity, which will strengthen our commitment to accessibility and inclusivity as well as deepen classroom discussions to strengthen the teaching and learning environment for all.
New Welcome & Discovery Center
$7 MILLION
The new home for our community
This new facility will be a place for everyone at Overlake—students, teachers, parents, prospective families, and alumni—to gather, celebrate, and discover all that Overlake has to offer outside of the classroom. A new 250-seat Discovery Hall, welcoming reception area, and administrative offices will open up doors to all kinds of new events and programs that benefit our entire community.
New Whitten Math & Sciences Center
Completed!
Unlocking the full potential of every Overlake student and teacher in math, science, computer science, and more
We are so grateful to all our donors who are investing in our future through this transformational effort. Since the building opened in Spring 2021, it has become the popular, thriving hub on campus. New classes and sections are now offered that weren't possible before, especially in the stunning Idea Lab, and the Robotics Team now has a permanent home. It is truly an incredible facility for teaching and learning.
