2024 marks the Centennial Celebration for Helen M. Kirby Hall, home to our current Kirby Hall School. The historic red brick building “on the hill” opened in 1924 as the one of the first all-women’s dormitories for The University of Texas at Austin (UT).
It was named for Helen M. Kirby, a pioneer for women’s education and the first Dean of Women at UT.
Over the nearly 50 years since Kirby Hall School has been housed here, we have been witness to the natural wear and tear the building has endured over time. For this reason, we are delighted to announce the Helen M. Kirby Hall Centennial Capital Campaign to facilitate a subtle refresh while still staying true to the building’s unique and historic aesthetic.
With the goal of raising $100,000 by the end of this year, we hope to get started on the following updates in 2025:
- Lighting improvements
- Flooring replacements
- Enhancements to learning spaces
- Modernization to the building’s electrical infrastructure
Donor and recognition levels are designated below:
Your generous contributions will help sustain Kirby Hall into her next century while continuing to function as a busy spot for our dedicated educators and eager young learners.
