2019 - 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of First Presbyterian Day School. What started as one building
                                           with 205 students is now a large, 240-acre campus with numerous opportunities for students to grow
                                           and develop their amazing, God-given talents. The mission of FPD remains the same - “to educate and
                                           equip students to change the world for God’s glory.”

                                           Throughout the year, we’ll celebrate with FPD trivia, alumni stories, and commemorative events.
                                           Thank you for choosing FPD for your family’s school home. We look forward to many more years of
                                           God’s blessings and faithfulness.
