With the support of the board of trustees and school leaders, RE has unveiled an inspiring plan that will make living more affordable for faculty, ensuring that Ransom Everglades continues to attract the best and the brightest teachers from across the nation.Inquire about supporting this fund
Our Goal
The school is dedicated to raising $30 million through the McMahon Faculty Endowment to provide annual stipends to full-time faculty members to directly subsidize the elevated cost of living.

“As teachers, we provide support and guidance for our children and their families. The fact that Ransom Everglades is now assisting its teachers with the cost of living would allow us to provide that same support and guidance to our own children and families. This is another example of how our school leadership takes action to support its faculty!” -
Maggie Berry, History & Social Sciences
“While the tangible impact of this fund that enables teachers to live in and enjoy Miami is enormous, the emotional impact of knowing that the community cares about teachers’ quality of life is just as large. The generosity behind the McMahon Faculty Endowment exemplifies the care that the school functions with; we all look after each other.” -
Marie Saint Hilaire, Mathematics & Computer Science
“This initiative would be a blessing to all of us faculty members living here in South Florida in aiding us with rising prices in our daily expenses, such as rent/mortgage, homeowner’s insurance, food, gas, utilities, as well as creating or increasing our savings accounts for an unforeseen emergency.”
