FROm THE HEAd OF sCHOOL

Dear Families, Alumni, Grandparents, and Friends,

Last year was one of the best years of my tenure at Rowland Hall. What is interesting is that many people indicated to me that they thought it was going to be a hard year because many senior faculty and staff have retired over the past few years. They predicted that the new people would need extra time and training to learn our school culture.

I won’t deny that having some terrific people leave was hard. They did a great job, and I miss them. Change is always hard, however change can also be exciting. Every new person we hired was our first-choice candidate, and each came to Rowland Hall energized about the opportunities here. They love our culture and the sense of community. Many of them have said they have not experienced this same level of camaraderie and team spirit at any former workplace. They also came with new ideas and energy and asked probing questions. They challenged some of my

assumptions. Sometimes when you are immersed in a school like Rowland Hall, which is complex and operates so well, it can be difficult to see the forest for the trees. Well, they see the forest, and we are already a better school because of their input.

The timing and synergy when several extraordinarily talented new people join an extremely skilled group of teachers and staff has benefitted our conversations about the Strategic Plan and pushed us to take advantage of all the latest research to inform our educational approach. The key is that both our veteran teachers and our new arrivals are all open to learning from each other.

We are, of course, maintaining all that Rowland Hall does so well while at the same time having a keen eye to areas we can improve. We have added some interesting new science classes in the Upper School — medical physiology and aviation science, just to name a couple — while our Lower School science instruction has become even stronger. Most schools don’t even have a science specialist at the elementary level, and ours is exploring fresh ideas while keeping our curriculum in line with the best of the Next Generation Science Standards.

Teachers are participating in collaborative curriculum development at a level we have never achieved previously. We have an outstanding faculty, and they can teach each other a great deal. We had more faculty and administrators visiting each other’s classes this year than in the last three years combined. These visits stimulated productive educational conversations that resulted in differentiated instructional ideas being shared and renewed growth on the part of all involved. This summer, more of our teachers participated in professional development than ever before. We had outside experts come to Rowland Hall to talk about effective teacher collaboration and

improving math instruction. We hosted a Critical Friends consultant on campus. Teams worked on developing curriculum for all four divisions, and the teachers in attendance will now share this innovative approach to collaboration with their colleagues. Our teachers also attended a conference in St. Louis, The Summit for Transformative Learning, where Director of Curriculum and Instruction Wendell Thomas, a new addition to the team this past year, was one of the speakers.

The majority of this professional development activity happened thanks to the generosity of donors who contributed the needed $60,000 dollars through individual gifts and participation in the auction to help the faculty and staff be better educators.

It is an exciting time to be at Rowland Hall. While retaining the qualities that make this school special, we are examining new ideas, incorporating the latest research, and doing it in a thoughtful and measured manner. We are not just jumping on the latest fads. We are still requiring students to learn material that will enable them to be knowledgeable about the subjects they are studying while, at the same time, helping them think critically and use information effectively. Most importantly, we are finding ways to be the best educators we can be for each individual student.

Thank you for an amazing year. Here’s to making 2015-2016 as exciting and stimulating for your children and our entire community.

Sincerely,

ACHiEVEmENTs OF THE CLAss OF 2015

Graduates of the Class of 2015 have matriculated to 43 different colleges and universities across the United States and abroad. The 136 colleges and universities to which they were admitted offered merit scholarships to 73 percent of the class. Twenty-two members of the class have attended Rowland Hall for 12 years or more. We call them “lifers.”

This class includes one of the 141 recipients of the highly prestigious 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholarship. It also includes a student who earned “perfect” scores on the SAT, ACT, SAT Subject Tests, and all AP exams taken. Our seniors excelled as debaters, earning distinctions from the National Forensic League and qualifying for multiple national championship tournaments. They led an unprecedented two teams to the 2015 Tournament of Champions Sweet 16, and two students went undefeated to win the first-ever Utah Tournament of Excellence.

In athletics, the Class of 2015 competed at a high level throughout their Upper School careers. They won seven state titles and 25 region titles. They also placed in the top five in The Deseret News 2A All-Sports awards for each of their four years. Nine All-Region athletes and eight All-State athletes, a State Female Swimmer of the Year, and a Senior All-Star are members of the Class of 2015. Additionally, nine students were recognized as Academic All-Region or Academic All-State athletes.

One of our seniors won the North American Big Mountain Freestyle Championship three years in a row; another broke the 2A state record for the 800m race as a junior and then again as a senior.

Others starred in soccer-themed commercials and films, served as an assistant coach to our Middle School athletes, and represented Rowland Hall at the UHSAA Dare to Lead Conference.

This senior class also includes many talented artists who entertained us with drama, dance, and musical performances. They formed vocal groups and recorded CDs. One sang the national anthem at a University of Utah volleyball game, and one is a four-year member of the Utah Youth Symphony. Two seniors helped lead our jazz band to a first-place finish in the Peaks Jazz Festival this February. Many of our dancers performed with local companies, ranging from Virginia Tanner Dance to Ballet West, and the Utah Dance Education Organization honored one of our dancers for her original choreography.

During their high school years, these students earned national accolades for their contributions to the Upper School literary magazine, Tesserae. Last September, the magazine won a gold medal from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for the second consecutive year. One of our graduates also took first place in Utah’s Junior Creative Poetry Contest.

Our seniors shared their artistic talents with the community, playing cello in the lobby of Primary Children’s Hospital and teaching classes at Bad Dog Arts. One member of the class produced and promoted an art installation to raise awareness for reducing the use of plastic. They volunteered countless hours at local organizations, taking care of shelter animals, fixing bicycles, and working for the Special Olympics. The seniors extended their reach to a camp for homeless youth in Los Angeles and to rural clinics in El Salvador, and they taught children

throughout Utah how to read, play piano, and ski freestyle. This group of students worked to organize blood drives, classify cancer cells, and save the environment. Their efforts truly were boundless.

This class also completed internships, contributing to the fields of science, media, and graphic design. They worked on DNA sequencing and studied the molecular structure of proteins at the University of Utah. One shadowed a corporate attorney at eBay, and another worked on multimedia projects at MRM McCann. They were part-time employees at businesses such as Nordstrom and rock climbing gyms. One member of the class, with two alumni partners, started a company that designs, builds, and sells custom skis.

Our seniors somehow found the time to pursue other interests, whether training and showing horses, sewing their own clothes, or becoming certified in Indian Ashtanga Yoga. One breeds poison dart frogs. Another is a show supervisor for MakeMind Entertainment. Yet another is a certified scuba diver with a substantial portfolio of underwater photography.

They traveled widely, representing Rowland Hall at diversity conferences in Oregon and participating in Mandarin Chinese immersion programs in Vermont. They excelled locally, with one student competing with undergraduates throughout the nation to win the Research Association Presentation Award from the University of Utah.

This class is diverse, talented, and hard working. Though this article cannot possibly encompass all their achievements and experiences, we hope it gives you a sense of why the faculty and staff are so proud of the Class of 2015.

FROm THE CHAiR OF THE BOARd OF TRUsTEEs

On May 30, I had the pleasure of addressing Rowland Hall’s 2015 graduating class at the school’s commencement ceremony. The event was a wonderful celebration of student accomplishment, though I reminded the graduates that many members of our community played a role in their success: friends and siblings, parents and grandparents, staff, coaches, and teachers have supported them in many different ways.

One of the more remarkable statistics associated with this gifted class is that 40 percent of the graduates attended Rowland Hall for a decade or longer. The parents of this group, many of whom I know very well, will mention the serious financial commitment such loyalty represents. More importantly, they will speak to the incredible value Rowland Hall offers. They have kept their children at this fine institution for so long because they feel they are getting an excellent return on their investment.

Of course, we all understand value differently. For some, the fact that Rowland Hall is the one Utah school

playing on a national stage is important. We are the only INDEX school in Utah, one of 50 from around the country that includes places such as Sidwell Friends, Princeton Day, and the Blake School. We are the only Malone Scholars School in Utah; only 50 U.S. schools are selected on the basis of academic caliber, quality of teaching, a strong AP program, and a commitment to diversity. Additionally, we have numerous individual programs—like debate and Rowmark, to name two—that appear near the top of national rankings.

While these accolades represent how national organizations perceive Rowland Hall’s excellence, we can also unearth value through quantitative measures. The school is run incredibly efficiently and is focused on what matters—establishing an outstanding teaching and learning environment. In our national peer group, our teacher pay is right in the middle of the pack even though 75 percent of those peers charge a higher tuition. Our plant expense as a total percentage of our operating budget is the lowest of our peer group, while our instructional expense is near the top. Our average class sizes (14 students per section in the Upper School, for example) are among the lowest in the state, ensuring students get individual attention. Such figures are one reason our recent parent survey indicated that the school met or exceeded expectations for 95 percent of respondents, a remarkable figure.

For many parents, the school’s commitment to excellence combined with a focus on ethical character development is enough to ensure that they will stay part of our community until each of their children graduates. I know my two kids felt nurtured in a safe, encouraging environment that allowed them to develop the many different facets of their personalities. It did not surprise me to learn that in the INDEX survey of our graduating seniors, the personal connection they had with their teachers sets the curve for that measure among our national peers: we are at the top of the scale.

The dedication our teachers have to their craft and supporting our children is unrivaled. I experienced that firsthand in June when I spent a week with a dozen Rowland Hall faculty members in a critical thinking workshop. While school was out of session for the year, and most children and their families were on vacation, these gifted faculty from all four divisions of the school were perfecting their craft. In this powerful seminar they drew on each other’s talents guided by an outside expert whose visit was supported by professional development funds from our successful auction. Even though our teachers were not compensated for this training, they were passionate about discovering new ways of experimenting in the classroom to improve the learning environment for our children.

That is the sort of return on investment that is hard to find anywhere.

2014 - 2015 FiNANCE REPORT

Dear School Friends,

During the year, our focus was on maintaining a sound financial position, strengthening our controls and processes, and maintaining a close eye on making sure tuition dollars are used wisely and effectively to meet the goals of the Strategic Plan. The year was solid and filled with many events, but I want to focus on two.

First, we are excited Gwen Fonarow is joining us as the new CFO, effective May 2015. She brings a depth of experience and fresh perspective to help us concentrate on truly making the business office an integral partner of the school.

Second, we remain focused on delivering to the Strategic Plan. Our business model will continue to emphasize funding a top-quality college preparatory education while maintaining the financial strength of the institution. While current operations are paramount, we also remain dedicated to our longerterm task of creating 21st-century facilities and enhancing our financial strength and flexibility through endowment growth. Our success depends on continued strong enrollment. To that end, we will more clearly and aggressively define and communicate the value of a Rowland Hall education to our students, parents, alumni, and the community at large.

The finance committee of your Board of Trustees will keep this mission statement front and center as we do our part to help this wonderful institution continue to prosper.

WELCOmE OUR NEW CFO GWEN FONAROW

We are pleased to welcome Gwen Fonarow to the position of chief financial officer. Gwen has extensive experience in financial management in both the public and private sector, and has held a number of senior leadership positions throughout her career. She comes to us from the CFO post at Creminelli Fine Meats. Prior to that, she held the CFO position at Valley Behavioral Health, and she worked for eight years as senior director of finance for Method Products in San Francisco. Gwen is a strategic thinker with a keen eye for evaluating operations as well as a passion for human resources. Former colleagues have called her a wizard with financial data and say she brings out the best in people. Gwen moved to Salt Lake City three years ago with her husband, Tyler, who is our Middle School principal. She and Tyler have two daughters at Rowland Hall, Tessa in third grade and Josie in first grade.

sALUTE TO dEPARTiNG TRUsTEEs

Every year the Board of Trustees and school community thanks and bids farewell to several dedicated volunteers who have worked hard for many years on behalf of the school. This year we would like to give special thanks to three trustees who have been exceptional in their service.

Amy Baker served on many committees during her two terms on the Board, including education, development, and leadership as well as the committee helping build the Steiner Campus. She chaired the 2014 Golf Tournament and helped secure many valuable, one-of-a-kind items for the past three school auctions. Amy is a great supporter of the school and worked hard and successfully to recruit new families from Park City.

Melissa Orford served as the Home and School Association representative for the Lincoln Campus for the past three years. She was an active contributor to the education committee and an important voice for a wide range of parent views and concerns. Melissa served as the auction coordinator for the past two auctions, working hard to make it a successful fundraising event for the school. She also played an active role on the Rowmark committee and the strategic planning committee.

Ira Rubinfeld served nine years on the Board. He was the legal chair for two years, the Annual Fund chair for two years, and most recently, he served as the education chair for two years. Ira worked on both the Steiner Campus construction committee and the steering committee for the Steiner Campus, and played a vital role in the first phase of construction for the future campus.

Thank you, again, to our outgoing trustees for their hard work and dedication. All our students and faculty benefited from your strong efforts.

WELCOmE NEW AdmiNisTRATORs

Jij de Jesus, Lower School Principal

Jij (pronounced “Jay”) comes to Rowland Hall from Town School for Boys in San Francisco, where he held a number of leadership positions, most notably as director of the Exploration of New Ideas program (STEM and innovation) and fourth grade teacher. He also oversaw a faculty evaluation research and revision project, serving as a teacher-leader on the committee on teaching and learning, and as the leader of the school’s Green Team. Jij began his career in experiential education by leading wilderness trips. He has a B.A. from Northwestern University in environmental science and an M.Ed. in private school leadership from the University of Hawaii.

Jij impressed those he met at Rowland Hall with his depth of knowledge, ability to connect with others, and intelligence, humility, and vision. Jij said he “fell in love” with the school on his first visit. He continued, “Knowing that I would be looking for a leadership position at the beginning of this school year, I approached the process not as a job search, but as a community search. In Rowland Hall, I found the perfect community for me, a school characterized by support, kindness, and a dedication to continuous and joyful learning.”

Dave Samson, Upper School Assistant Principal

Dave comes to us after 11 years at Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, where he served as the house head director (a position equivalent to the assistant principal of the Upper School) and as the school counselor. He holds a B.A. from Connecticut College and an M.A. in counseling from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The committee reviewed over 40 résumés, interviewed seven semifinalists by phone, and hosted four finalists on campus. Those who met with Dave describe him as open, easy-going, experienced, a good listener with a great sense of humor, thoughtful, and compassionate. His current head of school gave him a sparkling recommendation, describing Dave as “a key member of the leadership team” at Germantown Academy.

We look forward to welcoming Dave and his wife Kate. At press time we learned that Kate is the new Middle School Emotional Support Counselor replacing Amanda Wissler (See page 19). They have a 16-month-old daughter, Beatrice.

Coral Azarian, Director of Financial Aid and Associate Director of College Counseling

Coral Azarian joined the Rowland Hall community as director of financial aid and associate director of college counseling on July 1. In 2011, Coral served as the Rowland Hall development associate for one year while she prepared for graduate school. In her cover letter she shared her thoughts about her time at Rowland Hall: “I knew that I had found a wonderful school that was not only characterized by the intelligent and caring students who attended, but also by the faculty and staff whose true focus was on the holistic development of each and every child.”

Coral comes to Rowland Hall with expertise in advising and counseling in the areas of college admissions, student leadership, and the transition to college. She has served as an admissions counselor at Providence College in Rhode Island and Stonehill College in Massachusetts, and most recently as the coordinator for student leadership, involvement, and orientation at Westminster College—an area of work that fits with her master of education in educational leadership and policy from the University of Utah.

According to Richard Badenhausen, chair of Rowland Hall’s Board of Trustees and director of the Honors Program at Westminster College, Coral is “a great fit for our community because she has experienced success at previous institutions that value academic excellence in an environment of support and encouragement. Rowland Hall’s special culture is its most valuable asset, and Coral understands and appreciates how to help our students thrive within this setting.”

School Nurse Chaleh Thirkill

We are pleased to introduce our new school nurse, Chaleh Thirkill. She is a graduate of Westminster College, where she earned a bachelor of science in nursing along with a minor in Spanish. Chaleh has worked in pediatric health care for 16 years, most recently, at Primary Children’s Medical Center as a registered nurse. She has also worked at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and Randall Children’s Clinic in Portland, Oregon. Along with working in pediatrics, Chaleh is also a certified diabetes educator. We look forward to having Chaleh take care of Rowland Hall’s children and adults, alike.

CHANGiNG POsiTiONs

Michelle Rasich Assumes Directorship of College Counseling

Following Bruce Hunter’s departure for a new position in Florida, we are thrilled to announce that Rowland Hall will not miss a beat as former Associate Director of College Counseling and Finanical Aid, Michelle Rasich, assumes the directorship. Michelle is entering her sixth year at Rowland Hall, having arrived here in 2010 following nine years at Juan Diego Catholic High School in Draper, Utah, where she was the junior class counselor, testing coordinator, and the AP coordinator. Prior to joining Juan Diego in 2001, she worked in Claremont, California as the associate dean of students at Scripps College, and as the assistant dean of students/dean of residential life at Harvey Mudd College.

Michelle received her Bachelor’s Degree from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, and graduated from the University of Utah College of Law. She is a member of the National Association for College Admission Counseling, the Rocky Mountain Association for College Admission Counseling, and the Association of College Counselors in Independent Schools. She currently serves as the Immediate Past President of the Rocky Mountain Association for College Admission Counseling. In this role, Michelle was a member of a lobbying team that traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with members of Congress and advocate for access and equity in higher education. Nationally, within college counseling professional organizations, Michelle is a leader and instructor on the topic of counselor letters of recommendation.

Middle School Academic Dean, Annie Barton

For the past two years, Annie Barton, Rowland Hall Class of 2004, has served as our primary supervisor of academic support in the Middle School. Starting July 1, her new title became Middle School academic dean. With Mary Jo Marker’s return to full-time teaching in 2013 (she was the MS dean of students from 2009-2013), Principal Tyler Fonarow was able to combine the duties and responsibilities of the former MS dean of students role and the position of academic support counselor into the new position. While Annie’s primary role is supporting all students with their academic progress, she will take on the additional responsibility of oversight of the development of the Middle School academic program. Tyler will remain the supervisor of faculty and point person on all disciplinary matters, and Annie will be the primary contact for students and families with questions about our curriculum and instruction.

Annie’s undergraduate degree is in classical studies from Bates College and her Master of Education degree is from the University of Colorado. Upon graduation, Annie joined Teach for America and taught middle school English in Denver. She was most recently an assistant principal of a charter school in Denver.

Director of Ethical Education, Ryan Hoglund

Building on Rowland Hall’s history of dedication to ethical learning and the programs fostered by Liz Paige, former director of service learning, Ryan Hoglund became the school’s first director of ethical education as of July 1. According to the hiring committee, “Ryan brings a vision and determination to the position that is both thoughtful and passionate. His commitment to involve students, faculty, and staff in all four divisions is impressive and based in experience.”

Ryan has been a positive influence as assistant principal in the Upper School for 15 years, and he served for many of those years on the school’s diversity and ethics committees. During Ryan’s decade-and-a-half at Rowland Hall, he has also served as the academic support counselor. He began his career here as the director of debate and as a teacher of political science, health, and world religions. Ryan was already one to whom teachers came for advice as they examined incorporating ethics and service into their classrooms and looked for ways to tackle diversity or sustainability. Ryan’s volunteer work for causes of inclusion in the larger Salt Lake City community will also benefit the school in his new role.

Ryan’s new charter is to enhance our ethical education program, which includes ethics, community engagement, diversity, sustainability, and global understanding. Ryan is married to alumnae Libby Mitchell ‘92. Their daughter, Meg, is in first grade at Rowland Hall.

TWO ALUms jOiN TEAm RH

Laura Kiechle took over the duties of administrative assistant in the Beginning School toward the end of the 2014-2015 school year. Laura is an alum of the Class of 2005, and is eager to rejoin the Rowland Hall community. She received her bachelor of arts from Sarah Lawrence College in New York, majoring in literature and Spanish. Most recently she established a successful career in the world of fashion styling in Los Angeles. Laura returned to SLC seeking a new career direction and in that process rediscovered the rewards of working with young children while substituting here. Laura has experience in customer service and creating successful organizational systems in several past employment settings.

Gita Varner, graduate of the Class of 2005, returned this summer to Rowland Hall in the role of database and office manager for the Advancement Office. After earning her degree at Gustavus Adolphus College in religion, Gita worked as a warehouse manager and as a fundraiser and database manager for a community choral group in Minnesota for the past five years. Gita is glad to be back at home and working for her alma mater. From her high school days, Coach Kathy Howa remembers Gita this way: “She worked for us in the athletic department, and we referred to her as Radar O’Reilly from the TV show M*A*S*H. She knew what needed to be done before we ever needed it done. Gita has an amazing work ethic and was the last one to leave at night, making sure nothing was left undone.” Welcome, Gita!

FONd FAREWELL TO RETiRiNG ANd REsiGNiNG FRiENds

Deborah Mohrman retired this June after 15 years at Rowland Hall. Her contributions to the school were both tangible and immeasurable. She hired talented new people to join our already outstanding faculty and staff, creating a learning environment that brought students literally running and bouncing into class every morning. She enriched our Lower School curriculum, significantly enhancing the math program and increasing students’ standardized test scores across the board. She approached her job with passion and commitment, ensuring that each child received a well-rounded education, focusing not just on their academic experience but social and developmental progress as well. Deborah made all of us— students, parents, faculty, and staff—feel part of an exceptional community.

“In my 13 years as a classroom teacher and 28 years as an administrator I have learned a great deal from the many children and colleagues I have encountered along the way,” Deborah wrote in her retirement letter. “I have loved being part of this community and have been very fortunate to work with highly committed and passionate colleagues.”

Deborah dedicated 41 years of her life to education as a teacher and administrator at five different schools. She first joined Rowland Hall in 2000 as the Lower School assistant principal and then became the principal in the fall of 2002, just before our Beginning School and Lower School moved to the McCarthey Campus.

Head of School Alan Sparrow characterized Deborah’s leadership and vision as “distinguished,” adding, “I know I speak for everyone at Rowland Hall when I say, ‘We will miss her dearly.’”

Deborah Mohrman with students

As many of you know, after 17 years at Rowland Hall as director of college counseling, Bruce Hunter departed to assume the role of interim director of college counseling at Ransom Everglades School in Florida.

Rowland Hall is deeply appreciative of Bruce’s significant professional and personal contributions. He passionately and artfully helped students navigate the challenges of finding the next “landing place” in their educational journeys. The world of college counseling has changed dramatically over the past two decades as competition has increased, and the pressures on high school seniors have mounted in the face of ever more daunting odds. Through it all, Bruce lived our shared mission to seek the best match for our seniors—a college at which they will feel challenged and affirmed. We wish him all the best in his new endeavors.

After 20 years as our business manager and CFO, Kevin Hanson left Rowland Hall to embark on a new journey, accepting the position of CFO at the Children’s School in Atlanta, Georgia. He accomplished a great deal during his tenure at Rowland Hall, significantly improving the school’s financial position and overseeing the budgeting process that took the school from an average faculty salary of 80 percent to 100 percent of the Salt Lake City pay scale. Kevin was responsible in large part for securing the $20 million bond that enabled us to complete the McCarthey Campus, early and under budget. Most recently, he handled the financial oversight of the building of the new soccer fields. Everyone will miss Kevin’s stable and calm demeanor, and his solid work ethic. His friendship, wit, and improbable sense of humor are irreplaceable. We wish him the very best in Atlanta.

Nurse Shirley Stevens retired last spring after serving as our school nurse for 21 years. Shirley gave daily, compassionate care to students, teachers, staff, and parents. She also oversaw our emergency preparation plans, was a strong advocate for school nursing, and served as president in the Utah School Nurse’s Association. Shirley dedicated her personal time advocating for best school nursing practices at the Utah Legislature. Nurse Shirley touched the lives of students, families, and colleagues in many positive ways. It is with gratitude and appreciation we thank her for all she’s done for the Rowland Hall community.

Middle School Counselor Amanda Wissler has decided to return to her roots in the clinical setting and began working for the University of Utah this summer. Amanda joined Rowland Hall 12 years ago and was an anchor in the Rowland Hall Middle School community for students, parents, faculty, staff, and administrators. She spent much of her professional career with us, ensuring that our students navigate their middle school years with perspective for themselves and empathy for others on their way to being socially and emotionally prepared for high school. During her time at Rowland Hall, Amanda advocated for and developed a robust health curriculum as well as a meaningful advisory program (within a variety of schedule iterations—no small feat!); established a parent education series that helped families partner at home regarding issues such as social media, drugs and alcohol, and bullying; and most recently, Amanda guided our student council in their leadership of this year’s Say Less 2B More campaign. On top of all that are the positive differences Amanda made for our individual students. Her work with students, whether simple check-ins or major moments of crisis management, will not soon be forgotten by these students or our school.

Marilyn Osborne retired in May 2015 after teaching at Rowland Hall for 26 of the 33 years she has been an educator. She taught kindergarten, first, and fourth grades on the Avenues Campus, and second and fourth grades on the McCarthey Campus. In addition, Marilyn served on numerous school committees and mentored many new teachers. A master teacher who possessed a keen insight for the ways children learn, both life lessons and academics, Marilyn’s desire to be an advocate for children drove her teaching and her relationships with them. Marilyn always brought enthusiasm, humor, expertise, wisdom, and passion to her teaching and her work with colleagues. We thank Marilyn for all she has done for Rowland Hall and for the many students, families, and colleagues whose lives she has touched. Marilyn will be greatly missed.

Amy Homer came to work for Rowland Hall as the director of transportation and assistant to Director of Operations Ann Burnett eight years ago. We will miss Amy’s efficient organizational skills and strength in dealing with the many transportation-related issues.

Josh Leger will move within the operations department to become the new director of transportation as well as Director of Operations Ann Burnett’s administrative assistant. Josh has worked extensively within the department on both campuses over the past eight years. Last year he was trained as a driver, obtaining his commercial drivers license, and he finished the year off helping out on one of the routes. He has done a bit of everything very successfully within the department and we are very excited that he accepted the challenge of putting on yet another hat.

Lisa Williams has been a devoted and much-loved Beginning School teacher since 2002. Lisa captured the hearts of children and parents while working first as an assistant teacher and then as the co-lead teacher of our Enrichment Program. She supported students, parents, and colleagues with her genuine caring and nurturing spirit. We will miss her contagious smile and great sense of humor. Lisa plans to continue as a substitute teacher with us, so this is not a last goodbye, but more of a “see you around.”

Aaron Hinton departed Rowland Hall to attend law school. When he came to Rowland Hall eight years ago, Aaron immediately became a valuable part of the eighth grade team. He coordinated and integrated a meaningful service-learning component to his curriculum with Defeat the Street for Homeless Youth in conjunction with the Utah Youth Resource Center. Students spent time researching this relevant social issue, volunteered with the center, created advocacy initiatives, and spent a night on the back lawn to gain an appreciation for sleeping outdoors in the urban environment. Aaron also dedicated his time and energy to develop the programming for the eighth grade Washington, D.C., trip. He integrated the experience into his American studies curriculum and helped coordinate the culminating photo exhibit at the 15th Street Gallery. Aaron coached the Upper School boys’ basketball team for eight years, and he led the program as head coach for the last three. We wish Aaron the very best as he embarks on a new career.

We bid farewell to Steve Mond, Upper School math teacher. After six years, he decided to pursue new adventures. While at Rowland Hall, Steve taught a variety of courses, including the ninth and tenth grade honors courses, and personal finance. Steve developed the first Rowland Hall AP Economics class two years ago. We will all fondly remember his incredible Quiz Bowl tournament for the Upper School Battle of the Classes, another activity he introduced to the school, as well as his star turn as the Grinch this past holiday season.

Rebecca Gibson, the Beginning School administrative assistant, left this June to pursue a graduate degree. Rebecca was a dedicated assistant with a warm, caring, and positive energy. She participated fully in the life of the Beginning School and generously volunteered to support the auction, the Dinner and Dialogue events, and Home and School teacher appreciation dinners.

In addition to this special award, Isabel was one of 36 students to receive a one-time, $1,000 scholarship, and all of the scholars were honored at a ceremony in the Utah State Capitol rotunda.

The Comcast Leaders and Achievers Scholarship Program was launched nationally in 2001, and Comcast has awarded nearly $22.8 million in scholarships to help nearly 23,000 high school students in the country pursue their higher education goals.

According to Merlin Jensen, area vice president of operations for Comcast, “These students are our future leaders, and we are excited to award them scholarships.”

Ling Ritter

CONGRATULATiONs, PREsidENTiAL sCHOLAR

Rowland Hall senior Natalya “Ling” Ritter was named a 2015 U.S. Presidential Scholar, one of 141 American high school seniors who have demonstrated “outstanding academic achievement, artistic excellence, leadership, citizenship, service, and contribution to school and community.” The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars, appointed by President Obama, selects one young man and one young woman from each state each year. The scholars were honored for their accomplishments in Washington D.C., in June.

“What an honor it was to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ling’s parents and grandparents and watch her take her place among the other 141 Presidential Scholars. Our entire Rowland Hall community would have been as proud as I was,” Upper School French teacher Doug Wortham said. Mr. Wortham is the faculty member who nominated Ling for the recognition and attended the celebration of the scholars in June.

Of the three million students expected to graduate from high school this year, more than 4,300 candidates qualified for the 2015 awards determined by outstanding performance on the College Board SAT and ACT exams, and through nominations made by chief state school officers or the

COLLEGEs

University of Alabama

National YoungArts Foundation’s nationwide YoungArts™ competition.

“Presidential Scholars demonstrate the accomplishments that can be made when students challenge themselves, set the highest standards, and commit themselves to excellence,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. “These scholars are poised to make their mark on our nation in every field imaginable: the arts and humanities, science and technology, law and medicine, business and finance, education and government—to name a few. Their academic and artistic achievements reflect a sense of purpose that we should seek to instill in all students to prepare them for college, careers, civic responsibilities, and the challenges of today’s job market.”

TEACHERs HONOREd AT 2015 GRAdUATiON CEREmONiEs

Congratulations to the following teachers who received awards this June for outstanding service to their profession and to the school.

The Sumner Family Faculty Awards are given each year to outstanding faculty members in each division who have demonstrated a love for teaching and excellence in their fields. It is an award given by a family who has shown an unparalleled commitment to the school for three generations. The award symbolizes the Sumner family’s high regard for the faculty. Congratulations to the 2014-2015 recipients of the Sumner Family Faculty Awards:

Beginning School: Cindy Feinman, Kindergarten Teacher

Lower School: Beverly Facklam, Second Grade Teacher

Middle School: Ted Zeitler, Seventh Grade English Teacher

Upper School: Mike Shackelford, Rowland Hall Debate Coach

The Cary Jones Faculty Mentor Award was established through an anonymous gift to the school in honor of Mr. Jones’ dedication to the faculty when he was a trustee and chair of the board. This year Rowland Hall proudly honors Margaret Chapman, kindergarten lead teacher, with the Cary Jones Faculty Mentor Award for demonstrating excellence in the classroom and service to the entire Rowland Hall community.

BELATEd CONGRATs TO sPANisH TEACHER ABBY BACON

Congratulations to Lower School Spanish teacher Abby Bacon on receiving the Pat Buckner Award from the Utah Foreign Language Association last April. As the honoree, Señora Abby received a $1,000 award to help defray the expenses of traveling to Spain to further her expertise in the language and culture she teaches to Rowland Hall students.

In her proposal for the award, Abby wrote: “I am a Spanish teacher at Rowland Hall Lower School, where I teach a FLES (foreign language in the elementary schools) curriculum. The program that we offer in the Lower School provides a meaningful and valuable entry point into the journey of language learning for elementary students. Our program is standards-based and proficiency oriented. Because my students see me twice weekly for 45 minutes each session, it is all the more important to their class experience that I incorporate authentic materials (realia) and create opportunities for them to practice their skills with speakers outside of my classroom’s walls.

“While in Madrid, I will not only experience the culture of Spain, but I will also meet and collaborate with a local teacher—Esther Hill, who teaches fifth grade English to Spanish elementary students at Colegio Público las Veredas— with the goal of developing curriculum, designing real-world tasks, and gathering authentic resources for my students. Ms. Hill and I have been coordinating a pen pal project in which our students write letters to each other and explore each other’s cultures, interests, and languages.”

We look forward to hearing more from Abby about her experience in Spain and future collaborative efforts.

Estamos muy orgullosos de ti, Señora Abby!

Abby Bacon

ADVANCEMENT

Dear Donors and Friends,

Rowland Hall is built on a long-standing history of philanthropy, and we are fortunate that so many families make exceptional education a priority in their homes and in their giving. The Rowland Hall community responded enthusiastically this year when asked for support. The Annual Fund saw the highest rate of parent participation in over a decade, a great indicator of belief in the school.

This year’s auction, Le Cirque Gala, was the most successful one we have had in years, not to mention a fabulous party! In December, Rowmark supporters came together on the slopes for the first-ever Rowmark Invitational and Gala, which helped raise vital scholarship funds for Rowmark Ski Academy. Our community of alumni showed their support by contributing to the Alumni Scholarship Fund, and we are thrilled to be able to award the first-ever Alumni Scholarship for the 2015-2016 school year.

The excellence of the Rowland Hall experience is a result of the generous support we receive from our community. We can’t thank you enough!

ANNUAL FUNd BY THE NUmBERs

ANNUAL FUNd: YOU did iT!

Thanks to the generosity of the Rowland Hall community, the 2014-2015 Annual Fund was exceedingly successful, raising $848,022. Not only did the school have a banner year with the total amount raised, but also for the first time since 1999 we reached 80 percent parent participation. Together, those numbers paint a striking picture of exactly how invested our donors are in helping the school achieve its mission to provide an extraordinary education for all our students. Collectively, the ever-devoted Rowland Hall community raised funds to support faculty and staff professional development, enhance math and science programming, and advance technology initiatives, the arts, financial aid, and Rowmark, just to name a few.

The Annual Fund and a matching grant from the R. Harold Burton Foundation have made it possible to upgrade the Larimer Center’s sound and lighting systems. The installation of the state-ofthe-art sound system and the new infrastructure for the theatrical lighting system should be complete and ready as we begin this school year. This project is an example of how the school uses unrestricted Annual Fund gifts while also leveraging community support to offset costs of critical projects that benefit our student body and the community partners who rent our facilities.

Our sincere appreciation goes out to each and every one of Rowland Hall’s donors—parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends—for your unwavering support.

Special Thanks to Annual Fund Chairs

A huge thank you goes to Anna and Reed Topham for their tireless dedication as last year’s Annual Fund chairs. They worked hard to educate our community on the importance of contributing to the Annual Fund and were invaluable to the fund’s incredible success. We are thrilled that they have agreed to chair the Annual Fund again this year.

Faculty and Staff

Yet again, our amazing faculty and staff hit the 100 percent participation mark for the Annual Fund. Thank you for your support!

Board

With much gratitude we recognize the generosity of our Board of Trustees who work diligently to ensure that Rowland Hall remains one of the best independent schools in the country. Not only do they give countless hours of their time and expertise, every year they achieve 100 percent participation for the Annual Fund.

Thanks, Liaisons

Chairs Anna and Reed Topham and all of us at Rowland Hall wish to thank the great crew of enthusiastic parent liaisons.

WELCOmE AssOCiATE diRECTOR OF ANNUAL GiViNG

Larissa Trout joined the Rowland Hall development team last fall as associate director of annual giving after serving as the development director at Spy Hop for six years. She has a passion for the arts; innovative, high-quality educational experiences; and creating opportunities for all young people to succeed in today’s ever-changing world. Larissa earned her B.F.A. in modern dance in 2002 from the University of Utah. Her early career as a dancer led her to work for many nonprofits where she found her passion for fundraising to support an array of organizations. Under Larissa’s direction last year, the Annual Fund exceeded its goal, and parent participation was higher than it had been in many years. We are fortunate to have Larissa on the advancement team.

A NOTE ABOUT THE HALLmARKER sOCiETY GiViNG

We are deeply thankful for all the families and individuals who make Rowland Hall a priority in their annual contributions and make leadership gifts to the school at the Hallmarker Society levels. Your generosity truly helps make Rowland Hall extraordinary. For the first time since 1990 we will increase each Hallmarker giving level by $500, effective the 2015-2016 school year. This change in our leadership giving levels more closely reflects the philanthropic needs of the school. We sincerely hope our Hallmarker donors will continue to support Rowland Hall as generously in the coming year.

2014-2015 ROWmARK sCHOLARsHiP FUNd

Rowmark Ski Academy was founded in 1982 to offer a rigorous, year-round racing program coupled with an extraordinary academic high school experience for exceptional ski athletes. Each year Rowmark raises money for the Olle Larsson Scholarship Fund to help studentathletes pay their academy tuition. To help with that effort, a group of dedicated families came together this December to plan and host the first-ever Rowmark Invitational and Gala. It was a fabulous day of ski racing, dining, toasting to the success of the program, and of course, fundraising!

Thank you to everyone who attended the event and supported the Olle Larsson Scholarship Fund throughout the year. A record $95,477 was raised! Your support helps maintain the program’s stature as the best ski racing program in the country.

WHAT’s HAPPENiNG WiTH THE RiCHARd R. sTEiNER CAmPUs?

Since purchasing the Mount Olivet property adjacent to the McCarthey Campus in 2010, Rowland Hall has had a vision of uniting the entire school on one 23-acre campus.

This vision came to life with the completion of the first phase of the Richard R. Steiner Campus in March 2014. Our community now has two state-of-the-art synthetic turf playing fields plus stadium seating and landscaping on the site that will one day be the home of the Rowland Hall Middle and Upper schools. Our athletes are excelling on the new fields, with the girls’ varsity soccer team winning both region and state championships. We continue to hear how impressive the new fields are as well as excited questions about the future of the new campus.

So what’s next? This fall we will engage in a feasibility study to determine our community’s level of readiness for the next fundraising efforts. As plans and timelines become clear, we will keep you informed about the exciting future of a new Rowland Hall campus.

We are grateful for the generosity of all of those who have already committed to this landmark project. If you are interested in playing a part, please contact Director of Institutional Advancement Robyn Payne, 801.924.2961.

BUILDING THE FUTURE

The Campaign for Rowland Hall

ROWLANd HALL’s ENdOWmENT

The Rowland Hall endowment supports two crucially important school goals: increasing student body diversity through financial aid and scholarships, and enhancing faculty development through salaries and training.

A student body that is racially, ethnically, religiously, and socio-economically diverse greatly enhances our school community. The school also benefits from the diverse array of talents these students share. To expand the diversity of the student body, we must increase the availability of scholarships and need-based financial assistance.

In addition to a diverse student body, an innovative and talented faculty drives the school’s educational and extracurricular program. Rowland Hall takes great pride in its ability to attract and retain exceptional educators and we are committed to fairly compensating our faculty. This endowment also ensures that our teachers stay on top of new information, new concepts, and new technologies, and are exposed to the best minds in education.

If you are interested in starting a scholarship, please contact Robyn Payne, robynpayne@rowlandhall.org for more details.

UPdATE ON BARRETT TEACHiNG ANd LEARNiNG FELLOWsHiP

Shortly before Associate Head of School Julie Barrett retired last spring, a group of former and current Board leaders established, through their generous donations, the Julie Ashton Barrett Teaching and Learning Fellow Endowment. The fellowship is intended to underwrite an annual visit by a master teacher, and this year we were able to invite Beth Van Meeteren, Ph.D., to share her expertise in early childhood learning with our Beginning School teachers.

Dr. Van Meeteren is a uniquely talented early childhood professor with a strong background in literacy instruction as well as early childhood STEM education. She provided a day of in-service training on August 22, 2014, with hands-on explorations for teachers that enabled them to explore physics concepts and gain insights into how young children construct knowledge.

Engineering habits of mind are quite accessible to young children, and with Dr. Van Meeteren’s guidance teachers successfully learned new ways to implement science, math, and engineering activities. Wendell Thomas, our director of curriculum and instruction, joined the faculty for part of the day, and he quickly recognized that many of the concepts Dr. Van Meeteren presented were applicable to a school-wide science curriculum and were consistent with the national Next Generation of Science Standards.

Dr. Van Meeteren, who is the director for the Center for Early Education in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics at the University of Northern Iowa, started her presentation with a quick overview of the newly adopted RH Strategic Plan Goals. After a day with us, she concluded that being the leaders in teaching and learning in the Intermountain West was an achievable goal for our school, and she was eager to continue to collaborate with us in the future.

In addition to the early childhood STEM consultant’s visit, the Julie Ashton Barrett Fellowship also provided funding for the Critical Friends® workshop in which many of our faculty participated this summer. According to the program’s literature, “A Critical Friends Group community is a particular variety of professional learning community consisting of five to 12 members who commit to improving their teaching practice through collaborative learning and structured interactions.”

During her 32-year Rowland Hall career, Julie Barrett championed professional development for our teachers and raised millions to enhance of our students’ learning experience.

If you would like to donate to the Julie Ashton Barrett Teaching and Learning Fellowship, you can do so online at www.rowlandhall.org/giving.

Many individuals within the Rowland Hall community, whether they are associated with the school as alumni, current parents, grandparents, or friends, have made their mark as successful entrepreneurs. To celebrate and share in these individuals’ knowledge and accomplishments, Rowland Hall has created an organization of business professionals and companies, the Rowland Hall Entrepreneur’s Circle. One of our parents, Mike Levinthal, shared this idea with us after he participated in a similar effort with Stanford University.

iTs THREEFOLd missiON

Networking: The Entrepreneur’s Circle provides an avenue for entrepreneurial-minded people to connect with each other to discuss business ventures, brainstorm ideas, and deepen their ties within the entrepreneurial business community.

Opportunities: Circle members are committed to providing current students and alumni, as appropriate, opportunities for professional development, internships, idea sharing, and jobs. Lee Thomsen, Upper School principal, worked with numerous Circle members as the school launched “Beyond the Classroom,” to expand students’ understanding of professional job opportunities.

Giving Back: Entrepreneurs typically recognize that along the path of their success, a number of people played a role and offered help. Circle members believe in giving back to Rowland Hall, the school and community that offered them so much. In order to join the Circle, individuals/families must pledge a future gift to the school of a minimum of $50,000. All gifts will support the school’s endowment. Their gift is dependent upon the success of their entrepreneurial venture.

LE CiRqUE GALA BROUGHT FRiENds ANd FUNds TOGETHER

The 2015 Rowland Hall auction, Le Cirque Gala, was an enormous success. For the past 35 years, the biennial event has provided crucial financial support to the school. This year, attendees and additional supporters donated over $340,000 to support faculty and staff professional development, to build the Richard R. Steiner Campus, and to financial aid.

Thank you to Jennifer Price-Wallin and Tony Wallin for their wonderful leadership as they co-chaired the event. It wouldn’t have been possible without the countless volunteers who helped make it a success. Thank you to our solicitations co-chairs, Carter Lowrance and Robin Rollins, and to the entire executive and solicitations committees, parent volunteers, faculty volunteers, the operations and technology departments, and everyone who made the evening run smoothly.

Congratulations to all!

Each year, Rowland Hall’s Alumni Association celebrates graduating seniors by officially welcoming them to the organization at the annual Alumni Association Senior Breakfast. The Class of 2015 was honored last spring at the Little America Hotel with the thoughts and insights of guest speaker Andrea Hoffman, ’05, who told the graduates about the personal and professional benefits to being an active alum. Andrea encouraged members of this class to stay in touch with each other, teachers, and coaches; attend events and reunions; and come back for visits.

“The network of special relationships formed at Rowland Hall is something you can carry with you for the rest of your life,” Andrea said.

We thank Andrea for joining us and sharing her advice.

The Alumni Association is proud and excited to welcome the 67 graduates of the Class of 2015 to its ranks, and we wish them all the best in college and beyond.

It is truly a year to celebrate because you made it possible for Rowland Hall to award its Alumni Scholarship for the very first time! We are thrilled that the inaugural Alumni Scholarships have been given to Sam and Grace Smith, twins who will start seventh grade this fall. Their father is alumnus and Rowland Hall faculty member Ben Smith, ’89, who is married to alumna Lindsey Oswald Smith, ’92. We are so excited to have the next generation of the Smith family join the school community as Alumni Scholars!

Everyone who has made a gift to the Alumni Scholarship Fund since it was established in 2010 has made this scholarship award possible, and we thank you—our alumni—and the other friends of the school for your generosity. Together, in the relatively short period of five years, we have been able to create a legacy that provides the gift of a Rowland Hall education. Sam and Grace are the first of what we hope will be a growing number of Alumni Scholars over the years.

Thank you to all our donors, and we hope you will share in our excitement, and continue to give, as we celebrate this milestone and look to the future to continue this legacy.
