From our humble beginnings in 1899 as the Deaconess Home School on Hanover Street, we have flourished into a vibrant institution with a rich history, expanding enrollment, and an ever-growing range of activities and opportunities.
Introducing the Swan Challenge 125:
In honor of this milestone, our theme for the anniversary is “Swan Sisters - Fit & Alive for 125”.
This theme is a call to action for all Swans to embrace a lifestyle of physical and mental fitness.
As part of our celebrations, we invite all Swans worldwide to join the Swan Challenge 125:

- Make a Contribution: We encourage each Swan to commit to a minimum contribution of $125US for the year. Contributions can be made as a lump sum or through monthly installments. For example, you might choose to donate $12.50 per month for 10 months, totaling $125US by October 18, 2024.
- Friendly Competition: Chapters will set monetary targets and compete to see who can raise the most. The winning Chapter will be announced at the Banquet or another celebratory event!
