Save the Date: May 15th, 2026
Join us at the Post Oak Hotel on May 15th, 2026, to honor The Caroline School’s 25th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of Caroline’s passing. Your support will give special kids like Caroline who have complex disabilities that other schools can't accommodate the chance to learn in an environment that's made just for them. Teachers at The Caroline School see the students' beyond their disabilities - they see their curiosity, their intellect, their silliness. Our goal through this gala is to raise $1,000,000 for the Caroline School Operating Endowment, which helps subsidize tuition for families that cannot afford to pay full tuition, cover unexpected ongoing expenses, and fund improvements and expansion, such as our current goals of adding a fourth classroom and a multi-use activity area.
