FIFTEEN-YEAR ADVANCEMENT PLAN
A Fifteen-Year Advancement Plan was adopted in 2002 by Happy Hill Farm's Board of Directors to increase the student body from the approximately 100 residential beds to 225. Currently under construction is a new Academic Complex. The new school will contain 60,000 square feet of classrooms, laboratory, library - - everything required to provide a quality learning environment for up to 225 students. There is also a new medical clinic nearing completion. A new visitor's center; on the edge of a nearly completed three-acre memorial garden, will provide a place to handle the hundreds of visitors currently coming to the campus each year. Finally, the site work has been completed for three new homes for children, giving living space for 24 more boys and girls. With more than 1,000 applicants turned away each year, the unfolding of the Fifteen-Year Advancement Plan is both exciting and challenging. Exciting -- because of the opportunity to help more children. Challenging -- since most of the students coming to the Farm are indigent, with little or no funding for their education and care. Hence, the Farm's need for ongoing fundraising, and ultimately, a significant endowment.
