In 2021, to honor our fifty-year reunion, the North Central Class of 1971 provided a class gift in support of Panther Pathways, an expanded counseling approach supporting WTS students to more successfully navigate the opportunities of life after graduation.

The $30,000 raised by our class has been instrumental in providing a dedicated space within the current renovations, where students can receive mentoring and explore college and career opportunities. The rendered area is scheduled for construction during the 2025-2026 school year.

While we are excited to see the physical space come to life, we know that ongoing changes to legislation surrounding graduation and post-secondary preparedness have made the ongoing investment in Panther Pathways even more important. Ongoing fundraising supports:

• technology that aligns student strengths and interests with postsecondary opportunities;
• dedicated staffing from counselors and work-based learning coordinators, to grade-level support teams;
• and career exploration opportunities that connect current students to alumni and professionals across various industries.

Please join us in celebrating the class of 1971 turning 71 with the continued support of our class gift to Panther Pathways. Gifts can also be made in honor or memory of someone, such as an unforgettable teacher or a treasured classmate. Tax-deductable donations can be made using the form below or by mailing check or Donor Advised Fund gifts payable to the Washington Township Schools Foundation with 1971 denoted to WTS Foundation, 8550 Woodfield Crossing Blvd., Indianapolis, IN 46240.
