An Evening in Black & White: Celebrating Excellence with Elegance. Join us for Portledge School's Annual Gala!

EXPLORE Development

Hello Portledge Community,

This year, we proudly celebrate Portledge School’s 60th anniversary—a remarkable milestone in our shared history. To honor this special occasion, we are going all out with an extraordinary Gala celebration.

Mark your calendars! The 2025 Gala will take place on Thursday, May 8, at the Muttontown Country Club. Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, exciting auction items, and a few special surprises. It’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect with old friends, build new relationships, and celebrate the vibrant Portledge community that holds such a special place in all our hearts.

As proud Portledge parents, we have chosen this school for countless reasons, but above all, it is the incredible faculty and tight-knit community that make Portledge truly exceptional.

A celebration of this magnitude requires teamwork, and there are plenty of ways to get involved. Whether it’s attending, donating items, sponsoring the event, or supporting through ads, your involvement will help make this Gala a truly memorable and impactful evening.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and enthusiasm as we come together to celebrate 60 years of Portledge School. I can’t wait to see this incredible community join forces to create an unforgettable event!

Warm regards,
Mona Sanveren
Cole ‘26
