A Generous Gift for Pinewood
Heartfelt Thanks to the Masoutis Family
We are delighted to share wonderful news with our Pinewood community!
The Masoutis family has made a significant and meaningful gift to Pinewood in support of our Going Home building campaign—a gesture of generosity that will leave a lasting mark on the life of our school for generations to come.
Through Mr. Ioannis Masoutis’ donation, two signature spaces in our Middle & High School complex will bear the names of his dear parents, the great supermarket founder Diamantis Masoutis and his wife Georgia.
The Georgia Masouti Library
Our signature circular building (Guggenheim) will be transformed into The Georgia Masouti Library, and serve as the intellectual heart of our school.
The Diamantis Masoutis Gymnasium
The Gymnasium will be named The Diamantis Masoutis Gymnasium, already a vibrant center of performance and school spirit.
The significance of this gift is reflected in its personal nature. Diamantis Masoutis, founder of Diamantis Masoutis S.A., established the company in 1976 right here in Thessaloniki and, through this generous contribution, continues to invest in his community, reflecting values of care and commitment to the city that Pinewood proudly shares.
The Georgia Masouti Library will be a place where students come together as a community of readers and thinkers. The Diamantis Masoutis Gymnasium is a place of school pride, uniting students through shared celebration. Together, these two spaces represent the very best of what a school can offer — a place to grow the mind and a place to build the spirit.
On behalf of the entire Pinewood community, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the Masoutis family for their confidence in Pinewood and for investing in spaces where curiosity, community, and competition will flourish for generations.
