Celebrate 20 Years with The Hirsch Academy

Join us as we celebrate two decades at The Hirsch Academy’s 20th Anniversary Gala! This special evening will honor the incredible community that has come together over the years to shape and inspire Hirsch into the groundbreaking, neurodiversity-affirming space it is today.

At the heart of Hirsch Academy’s success is our unwavering belief in the power of community. From the visionary educators, students, and families who have been part of our journey, to the self-advocates and allies around the country who have embraced and strengthened our mission, this gala is a tribute to the collective spirit that has made Hirsch one of the premier neurodiveristy affirming schools in the country.

The evening will highlight the innovative approaches and strategies that have been central to our philosophy—approaches that ensure every student is celebrated for who they are and empowered to embrace their strengths and differences.

Guests will enjoy a joyful evening, including inspiring stories from our students and families and opportunities to connect with fellow Hirsch alumni, families, teachers and Hirsch community. As a special treat, Decatur's own Polly Holiday will perform 80's and 90's favorites as well as original songs. Together, we will celebrate the transformative power of inclusion, diversity, and the community that has defined Hirsch Academy for 20 years.

We invite you to be part of this milestone celebration as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to a future filled with possibilities.
