Laker Fund
Thanks to the generosity of caring alumni, parents, board members, grandparents and friends, we are able to provide our boys with a transformative educational experience. The Laker Fund provides us with the flexibility to meet our most pressing financial needs and seize unique and important opportunities.
Your gift to the Laker Fund ensures that our students are engaged in real-world, experiential learning, that their opportunities are boundless and that they leave Boys’ Latin prepared to make their mark on the world. And your contributions help to close the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of a Boys’ Latin education - nearly 20% per student. To all our donors, thank you.

In a time of continued uncertainty, we remain humbled and grateful for the support of the Laker community.

JACK H. WILLIAMS SOCIETY
Cumulative gifts of $25,000 or more to The Laker Fund entitle one membership in the Jack H. Williams Society. Jack Williams, a 1938 Boys’ Latin alumnus, led the effort to find the property to build Boys’ Latin School on the grounds where it is located today. A practicing attorney, Jack left his law firm in 1962 to become Boys’ Latin’s second headmaster on Lake Avenue. Donors who consistently and generously give to Boys’ Latin, as Jack Williams did, become members of this society named in his honor.
