St. Martin’s Episcopal School serves nearly 600 students in preschool through eighth grade on its Brookhaven campus. Tragedy struck on July 4, 2017, when an arsonist destroyed the home of St. Martin’s Early Childhood (EC) program. After careful planning, the school decided to turn the event into an opportunity to shape St. Martin’s future for the better through the Together We Rise campaign. The $5.5 million campaign includes constructing a larger building with additional EC classrooms and a STEAM village with a science lab, tinker space, art room, and outdoor classroom. St. Martin’s has raised 50% of the campaign goal, and the school’s leadership is now turning to the greater community for philanthropic support.
