Legacy Society

A Lasting Commitment to Excellence

Our high school years hold a special place in our hearts. As graduates of Music & Art, Performing Arts, or LaGuardia, we were privileged to be taught by wonderful instructors in a unique setting. Our academic education and arts training were challenging and inspirational. What we gained will never be forgotten. Alumni & Friends (A&F) was founded to keep this spirit alive.

The A&F Legacy Society provides a way for our community of graduates and family and friends to support LaGuardia students and the future of LaGuardia’s arts education through gift and estate planning.

We are inviting you to extend your commitment to the continued success of LaGuardia High School and play a significant role in preserving excellence in arts education in the years to come.

Consider these opportunities when making your commitment:

  • Wills and Bequests
  • Individual Retirement Plans
  • Stocks or Life Insurance
  • Real Estate
  • Charitable Trusts
  • Gifts of tangible personal property

Potential advantages to you:

  • Reduction of transfer taxes on amount ultimately payable to your decedents
