St. Stephen’s will celebrate its 75th school year throughout the 2025-26 academic year when the school will launch a bold comprehensive campaign. The campaign’s goal is to enhance all areas of living and learning, from new and improved facilities to endowments that support faculty, financial aid and scholarships, programs and curriculum. To date, the Spartan community has generously given over $47 million to the campaign to secure the future of our beloved school.

Greg and Martha Clay P ’23 and Al and Dona Clay GP ’23 are building on that momentum by pledging a $1 million matching gift. The family invites the Spartan community to join them in supporting the school. They will match any gift made to a proposed campaign priority in calendar year 2025, up to $1 million. 

Greg and Martha share, “We feel very blessed to have benefited from our experience at St. Stephen’s and from this community, and I know from my work on the Board of Trustees that many others are gaining lifelong skills and building character that will truly contribute to making the world a better place! The Clay family is proud to provide this matching gift honoring others who are giving in support of the St. Stephen’s mission.”

Greg Clay serves as the Campus Committee Chair of the Board of Trustees and has been a trusted partner and advisor for key campus projects, including the St. Stephen's Aquatic Center and the Spartan Loop roadway.
