    A Message From Campaign Leadership

    Campaign Projects

    $3,500,000 | Estimated Completion January 2026

    The construction of the new David J. Cooper Sr. Dining Hall has created much-needed space in the center of our campus, where the former Middle and Upper School Cafeteria was located. This space will serve as a hub of activity for all of our students. Dance students and cheerleaders alike will enjoy a spacious practice studio, locker room, and trophy display area within this renovated space. A 92-seat Media Room will provide all students with a comfortable and well-equipped setting for guest speakers, presentations, and film study. Encore Rehabilitation will move into a much larger facility, providing all members of the UMS-Wright family efficient, convenient, and state-of-the-art treatment and physical therapy at their fingertips.

    “Our mission as a school is to educate students to their highest potential in Mind, Body, Spirit, and Character. It's our shared responsibility, as the UMS-Wright Community, to ensure our facilities can support this noble mission, and we believe that, with your support of the Legacy of Excellence Campaign, we can accomplish this together.”

    "It's an honor to be part of such an impactful initiative in the school's history. Donors will leave a legacy that generations will remember."

    "The future of UMS-Wright has never been so exciting. There is no question that this capital campaign and its donor are going to change the future of many students today and far into the future."
