2023 A Disciplined Life® Gala
Take the Leap with Perspectives
It’s official – mark your calendar for the A Disciplined Life® Gala 2023! Please join us this spring on the evening of Thursday, April 27th for a celebration of Perspectives Charter Schools, featuring our amazing students and staff.
Over 25 years ago, two public school teachers decided to take the leap and started one of the first charter schools in Illinois with the goal of educating the whole child and making social-emotional learning a core part of the curriculum. Since then, families continue to take the leap and enroll their students at Perspectives. Generous donors, like you, continue to take the leap and support our efforts. Perspectives continues to take the leap and evolves for, and with, our city’s future leaders. Today, we serve over 1,800 students across 3 campuses. This fall, we welcomed our largest-ever freshman class!
We are grateful for your ongoing support and your commitment to living A Disciplined Life with us. Once again, we ask you to take the leap with Perspectives and secure your spot below for an inspiring evening led by our students, celebrating our achievements, and highlighting our vision for the future.
If you have any questions about our gala or how you can support Perspectives, please contact Mario Gonzalez via email at mgonzalez@pcsedu.org or via phone at 773-430-2803.
