Centennial

History

A Century of Uniting Education and Action

It was a different time. A historic awakening. Nazareth was born out of a need for new voices and new ideas from those who previously had no voice. And 100 years later we still strive to answer the larger questions of how far have we come and how will we prepare individuals to improve the world around them?

A two-year celebration

To commemorate and honor this incredible milestone, we are planning collaborations, celebrations, and impact during the year before and after Sept. 24, 2024, to advance Nazareth's work to lead through empathy, equity, and innovation.

We will share opportunities to reflect on our heritage and take action as courageous changemakers who are open to possibilities and passionate about changing the world around us for the better.

Thank you to Wellington Steele and Associates plus the Leva family for their support as the presenting sponsor of the Centennial Celebration.

A community wide celebration
The Centennial has been filled with diverse events and celebrations, intended to inspire and create change-motivated collaborations that create impact.

For us, looking back is actually about looking forward. Knowing where you've been leads to understanding where you want to go. And going forward into the future is very much on our minds here at Nazareth.
