Support TA
Annual Fund
The TA Annual Fund is the school's top fundraising priority. The Board of Trustees works closely with the Administration to determine what our priority projects are and to maximize the value of every dollar raised to benefit our students' academic success and well- being.
With your help, we will continue the tremendous momentum that is positioning TA among the South's premier private college preparatory schools.
Thank you for being a part of the legacy that is TA's signature strength. Your support is deeply appreciated.
