| A Note From the Headmaster
Dear Glendale Prep Community,
I was also reminded this weekend – both at the senior retreat and a faculty social – that this community is such a special place. Over the last five years, I have seen and experienced more growth than I could have ever imagined. For every concern that I have witnessed, the number of excellences I have observed are far greater. This can only happen when people care deeply for each other and genuinely desire to grow. As I leave Glendale Prep, I thank you all for your care, sincerity, and trust over these years. I am humbled by the regular outpouring of support in our community, and I am fortunate to count my time at Glendale Prep the proudest period of my life.
With bittersweet gratitude,
Brandon Crowe
Headmaster

Tax Credit
Your tax dollars allow us to offer Cross Country! Thank you!
What happens outside of the classroom is important to your student’s education. It is Glendale Prep’s mission to bring up Great Hearted scholars who learn and develop not only through academics, but also through sports, field trips, after school clubs, on-campus speakers, and other character-building programs. The funding for all of these activities is provided through our Tax Credit drive.
Please help us support these programs by giving your Tax Credit to Glendale Prep. Remember, you will receive your contribution back as a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona State taxes. If you have any questions, please contact Cathy Sparks at 623.889.0822 or go to csparks@glendaleprep.org |
