Belief, recorded permanently.
You establish the record
Founding names are written once. Your place in the Registry of Founders is permanent and never reassigned.
You fund the school directly
Charter initiation contributions move into school-community support and the platform that keeps each House standing.
You make the House possible
A House opens because enough alumni chose to believe before there was proof. That is the whole mechanism.
You leave a door open
Every founding place claimed makes the next graduate's return easier, warmer, and already prepared.
