Lick-Wilmerding High School
Let's go ALL IN for our legacy, our students, and our faculty! The LWHS Tiger Fund is the cornerstone of philanthropy at our school, bridging the gap between tuition and the true cost of an LWHS education. Every alumni gift, no matter the size, has the power to develop the head, heart, and hands of EVERY student. Your gift funds all of this and more:
- Programs that ignite passions—whether in athletics, the arts, or academics
- Great facilities that support learning and curiosity
- Robust flex tuition program of $7.6M to serve students from all walks of life
Tiger Fund gifts are 100% tax-deductible and can be made by clicking the button below.
If you would like to pledge now and pay later in the year, please fill out this form or contact advancement@lwhs.org. Thank you!

Minimal Decencies
Created by longtime English faculty member, Eleanor Burke, who taught at LWHS from 1978-1995, this guide has served as an important writing tool for many LWHS students and alumni. For those who did not have the pleasure of having Ms. Burke as an English teacher, we hope this is one small way to commemorate her legacy among the LWHS community.
