Great Hearts is a non-profit, public charter school network that was born out of a desire to do better for our students, families, educators and society. For over 20 years, Great Hearts has grown to serve over 15,000 students and families with a mission to cultivate the minds and hearts of young men and women in the pursuit of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.

This year, Great Hearts will be hosting their annual Gala in September in support and benefit of our excellent teachers! We are heading west this year for our 6th annual event, which is called "How the West Was One." The events takes place Saturday, September 30th. Guests will enjoy a live country concert, dancing, and delicious food and beverage as we raise funds to benefit the Teacher Excellence Fund, which provides bonus compensation every December to reward and retain the best Great Hearts teachers across Arizona. In face, $774,373 was awarded to 735 teacher across all 23 Great Hearts Arizona academies in December 2022 from this initiative. 

This year's event is expected to sell out with over 700 attendees, including Great Hearts parents and local business and community leaders. Together, we strive to raise $1,000,000 to continue providing a life-changing education to K-12 students in Arizona and across the country. Your support allows us to provide a tuition-free, world-class education to any student, regardless of income level or socioeconomic status.
