Patriot Days 2026 begins on March 17 and is a school-wide celebration that culminates with our Patriot Fun Run and Color Run. As York Prepโs primary fundraiser of the year, students collect pledges from family and friends to support our school and its programs. Last year, York Prep raised over $178,000.00 in pledges! This year, York Prep will be raising funds to make safety upgrades to the entrance of the Student Union building.
Watch THIS VIDEO to learn why Patriot Days matters, what it has supported in the past, and how your participation makes a meaningful impact on students across our school.
A special thank you to our partners My Shower Door, Founders Credit Union, and Plato's Closet of Rock Hill for making this event possible!
