We are in the middle of construction of the Maggie Gilbert Aquatic Center, a two-pool, 14-lane aquatic center on Pali High's campus.   The pool will serve not just Pali High's physical education programs and athletic teams, but will be open to the community for club swimming and water polo, swim lessons for all ages, master’s swimming, recreational swim and specific aquatic program needs such as lifeguard and first aid training, adult exercise classes and summer camps.

Longtime Pali High teacher Rose Gilbert, who initiated the project in memory of her daughter, has pledged $2 million of the $4.3 million budget towards the construction of the aquatic center.  We have raised 3.1 million to date and are actively fundraising for the 1.2 million remaining.   We are anticipating the aquatic center to be open in March, 2010.  We need your financial support!  Thank you for your donation to the pool.
