U R B A N , T H E F I R S T I N D E P E N D E N T C O - E D H I G H S C H O O L I N S A N F R A N C I S C O . They founded
the school on the principles of student-centered learning, using the city as a resource to extend learning beyond the
classroom, and preparing students to become critical thinkers with a passion for learning throughout their lives.
Considered progressive and forward-looking at the time, Urbans program is now nationally renowned, and widely
emulated in schools throughout the country. Today, Urban is stronger than ever, leading the way in educational excellence,
innovation and pedagogy, while adhering to its original core values and mission. Urban continues to be at the forefront
in ensuring an inclusive, welcoming and accessible community, offering a rich and comprehensive academic curriculum,
seamlessly integrating the use of digital tools, and providing a dynamic co-curricular program with outstanding offerings
in music, theater, visual arts and athletics.
As you will see in this 2013-14 Annual Report, Urban continued its work in fulfilling our Vision 2017 strategic plan
goals (for more updates, please see page 10). We supported our extraordinary teachers through enriching professional
development experiences. To advance our Education for the 21st Century initiatives, we expanded our global education
program with a new partnership and exchange program in Lille, France. We also introduced new STEAM (science,
technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) curricula, including an Advanced Computer Science course and makers
elective, Technology Lab, in which students built computers and designed and constructed devices using our 3D printer
to solve problems they identified at school.
This is truly an exciting time for Urban as we prepare to break ground this spring on Phase 1 of the North Campus
expansion, our new Academic and Athletics Center. For more details on this transformational project, please see page 7.
As of December 1, we have raised $16.7 million toward this $28 million project, thanks to the incredible generosity of our
community during our leadership fundraising phase. This spring we look forward to inviting all members of our community
to participate in this singular project.
The many successes we achieved this year would not be possible without the incredible group of volunteers who give so
much of their time and talent to the school. In particular, we would like to thank our Parent Board Co-Presidents Wendy
Webster and Yvonne Keene, Capital Campaign Chair Terry Gamble Boyer, Alumni Council President Tara Wilson (95)
and Auction Chair Julie Drummond. Special thanks are also extended to our Annual Fund Co-Chairs Barbara Gregoratos
(74) and Teresa Keller, whose leadership helped the campaign surpass $1 million for the first time in the schools history.
We are tremendously grateful to all of our donors who supported the Annual Fund, Auction, Endowment, Class Funds
and North Campus expansion. Your involvement and investment in the school strengthen the foundation of Urban, ensure
that the school continues to thrive, and make a visible and meaningful difference for all of our students, faculty and
programs. Thank you so very much.

TRE A SURER
Ann Wu
FOUR YEARS AGO, AS WE SAT IN ST. AGNES GYM, MY SON WAS BURSTING WITH THE
EXCITEMENT AND ENTHUSIASM THAT ACCOMPANY NEW BEGINNINGS WHEN WE
ANTICIPATE GREAT THINGS. He was ready to begin his Urban journey. I, on the other hand,
was daunted by the adventures-in-parenting that lay in wait for me. There was no Owners
Manual for high school kids; no Quick Guide to Parenting through the teenage years; no neatly
packaged, appropriate responses to the vitality of adolescence. On that New Freshman
Welcome Day, I could not yet know that I had joined a vibrant community of remarkably
talented, accomplished and informed parents with more than enough collective experience,
good humor and wisdom to see me through these transformative years. If I knew then what
I know now, I too would have embraced the anticipation of great things to come.
There are myriad attributes that make Urban the remarkable institution that it is. One that I have
found particularly compelling among Urban parents is the belief that parents can, and should,
inspire our teens and lead by example. If we hope to raise our children to be engaged adults, we
need to get involved. If we encourage a passion for life-long learning, we need to seek out and
embrace new experiences. If we want our teens nurtured in healthy networks, we must become
builders of inclusive communities. To that end, The Urban Parents Association is designed to
provide opportunities for parents to share time, energy and creative resources in support of the
schools mission and core values in ways that connect us with our students, their daytime world
of teachers, administrators and activities, and with each other.
Urban enjoys the support of many, many volunteers who work on the year-opening All-School
Picnic, through the Auction in the spring, to the Senior Grad Night Party in June and everything in between. Thanks to the efforts of more than 60 volunteers in leadership positions on the
Parent Board, we were able to provide a broad diversity of activities this year. Record numbers
took advantage of perennial favorites such as Urban 101 for Parents and the Spring Panel of
Graduating Seniors. Urban parents are a vital part of school life and I am deeply grateful to all
volunteers for your generosity and commitment.
Improved communications and streamlining of Parent Board functions were the Executive
Committees priorities this year. As Co-Presidents, Yvonne Keene and I focused our efforts on
launching UrbanConnect and redesigning our welcome and outreach approach for new freshman
families. UrbanConnect is a series of three events (one each term) designed to inform parents
about what goes on at Urban, and why. At each meeting, Head of School Mark Salkind provides
a State of Urban address, and parents are introduced to administrators and teachers who
provide an inside look into their area of expertise and how it affects student life.
Looking ahead, we have an exceptionally strong leadership team in place next year and the
Parent Board is in a good position to continue its outstanding service to Urban parents. You
can anticipate great things!

ALMA ROBINSON &

TOYE MOSES
TRUE BLUE SOCIETY 15-YEAR CIRCLE
ALMA ROBINSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE NON-PROFIT CALIFORNIA LAWYERS FOR THE ARTS, AND TOYE
MOSES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SOUTHEAST COMMUNITY FACILITY COMMISSION (A CITY AGENCY), WERE
URBAN PARENTS FROM 1998 THROUGH 2002. THEIR SONS AKINTOYE GRADUATED FROM URBAN IN 2000 AND
WILLIE IN 2002. ALMA ALSO SERVED ON URBANS BOARD OF TRUSTEES FROM 1999 THROUGH 2005.
DURING AKINTOYES SENIOR YEAR, ALMA HELPED TO CREATE THE SENIOR CLASS ENDOWMENT FUND, WHICH
STILL CONTINUES AND HAS CONTRIBUTED MORE THAN $800,000 OVER THE YEARS TO HELP BUILD URBANS
ENDOWMENT TO ITS CURRENT LEVEL OF $7.8 MILLION.
IN THEIR WORDS:
Our son, Akintoye, came home from a boarding school in Massachusetts to start his junior year at Urban in 1998, as his brother, Willie, was
starting as a freshman. Our experience as high school parents previously involved traveling to New England for parents weekends for several
years, as our daughters, Isabelle and Toyin, had also attended boarding schools in New England. So we were delighted when our two sons were
accepted at Urban.
By Akins senior year and Willies sophomore year, they were both starting on the varsity basketball team together a true highlight for our
family! Instead of traveling across the country, it was great to travel across town to see their games and root for the Blues!
We continue to contribute to Urbans Annual Fund because our sons benefited so much from their experience there. Learning how you learn
and how to evaluate and challenge yourself are great attributes of the Urban educational experience. And through service learning, students at
Urban receive what may be the biggest gift of all, when they realize that they can contribute to community, that they have value and are worthy.
We see the through-line in our sons growth and experiences after Urban.
Akins first service learning project was at De Avila School in the Haight, where he tutored Calvin, a 10-year old boy with severe emotional
disabilities who could not read. By the end of the school year, Calvin was reading. After graduating with a degree in photography at NYU,
Akin was hired as a photography teacher at an international school in So Paulo. He eventually earned a Masters in Special Education through
the New York City Teaching Fellows Program and did additional post-graduate studies at the Gallatin School at NYU. After serving as middle
school dean at the Arts and Letters School, a public school serving an underprivileged community in Brooklyn, NY, and teaching English at
a charter school in Stockholm, Sweden, Akin has returned to Brazil and is now teaching English at the American School in Rio de Janeiro.
The roots of Willies career, too, began at Urban when he volunteered with a UCSF medical research project to help set up an educational
website for teens living with HIV/AIDS. After graduating with a degree in psychology at Duke University and a year teaching middle school
English and economics in the Dominican Republic, he attended UCSF for medical school and is in the research portion of his seven-year
general surgery residency program at UCSF. He is currently working at the UCSF Mission Bay campus with a research team that is designing
artificial kidneys and he eventually plans to continue his training with a fellowship in pediatric surgery.
Discovering your passion at Urban is not just a slogan; it really happens, and we cant thank the entire Urban community enough for
all the encouragement and support.
Urban is closer than ever to realizing our mission-driven aspirations of expanding and completing our campus with the
necessary facilities that match the quality of our outstanding program. We are pleased to share that as of December 1,
we have now raised a total of $16.7 million for Phase 1 of the North Campus expansion: a new Academic and Athletics
Center. Our goal is to break ground on the new facility in May 2015, and to open the building for the 2016-17 school year.
Meeting this goal will depend on raising all the funds needed for the project, as well as securing necessary city approvals.
Highlights of the Academic and Athletics Center include:
ACADEMICS
Seven new classrooms
Additional faculty and staff offices
ATHLETICS
Tournament-sized gym with seating
for the entire school community
Athletic offices and locker rooms
COMMUNITY
Flexible student spaces
Kitchen with on-site food service
Rooftop green area
Increased parking
This project will be transformational for Urban. The additional space will enable the school to address our most pressing programmatic needs
in academics and athletics. The new facilities will also significantly improve Urbans environment for teaching and learning, while providing
more space for students, teachers and parents to gather and interact, formally and informally, in ways that build a stronger school community.
In a later Phase 2, we will convert the current St. Agnes gym into a Performing Arts Center for our drama and music programs.
We are profoundly grateful to everyone who has supported our North Campus expansion to date, and look forward to inviting our entire
community to participate this spring.

THE ANNUAL FUND
AT W O R K
T H E 2 0 1 3 - 1 4 A N N U A L F U N D raised a record $1 million for the first time in
the schools history, thanks to the incredible outpouring of support from our community.
The Annual Fund is critical in balancing the schools budget and benefiting all aspects of
the school: academics, co-curricular activities, accessibility and most importantly, our
teachers and students. In addition, gifts to the Annual Fund make a visible difference toward
accomplishing and completing our ambitious strategic plan goals in Vision 2017: Creating a
Sustainable Future. Following are a few highlights of how the Annual Fund directly supports
Urbans mission and aspirations:
ACCESSIBILIT Y: Urbans Vision 2017 strategic plan calls for increased accessibility, and in 2013-14
the school expanded its financial aid to more than $2.6 million to benefit 28 percent of Urbans talented
and deserving students. The Admissions Department continued its outreach to more parochial and public
schools, and organizations that support high-potential students from underserved backgrounds, such as
A Better Chance, Aim High, Breakthrough Collaborative, Making Waves and Summer Bridge. We are
pleased to share that the freshman class represents more than 35 different middle schools.
DIVERSIT Y AND INCLUSION: Strengthening and sustaining Urbans diverse, inclusive and
welcoming community is central to Vision 2017. As part of our ongoing Inquiry for Equity work, 30 faculty,
administrators and coaches met regularly across the year to reflect on teaching practices and work on
improving the schools ability to teach to a wide range of learners. The January Professional Day, Finding
our Place in the Conversation, provided options for all faculty, staff and administration to learn more
about the Identity and Ethnic Studies freshman curriculum, the Service Learning program, or participate
in a facilitated workshop on helping traditionally underrepresented students thrive at Urban.
EDUCATION IN THE 21 ST CENTURY: Urban continues to be at the forefront of educational excellence, and to prepare students to thrive in our increasingly complex and interconnected society. This year
we expanded our science offerings by introducing an Entomology class and re-launched Astronomy. We
also started an advanced Computer Science class, modeled after college-level courses at UC Berkeley and
MIT, and a Maker Course E-period elective where students experimented with our new 3-D printer. For
the second year, a summer online Functions pre-calculus course was offered, allowing students greater
flexibility in their schedules during the school year. We also finalized the list of courses for the Bay Area
BlendEd Consortium, comprising five regional independent schools, which launches in Fall 2014.
ATHLETICS: Our athletics program had another incredible year, with 60+ percent of our students
participating in at least one team during the year. Girls Varsity Soccer won the BCL West League
Championship, and Girls JV had its second undefeated season in a row. The Boys Fencing team won its
first-ever citywide AAA league title and added our first fencing banner on the gym wall. Boys Lacrosse
had the most wins since it began three years ago. Boys Basketball had a fantastic season, coming second
in the league. Girls Softball qualified for the NCS Tourney, and the Boys and Girls Cross Country and
Track teams continued their excellence and qualified for both the NCS and CIF state finals. Golf had a
strong season, with a team member qualifying for the individual NCS tournament, and Boys Tennis was
a top 4 seed entering the league playoffs. This was the first year the Swim team competed at the league
level since it was formed in 2012-13 and they had a strong start. Go Blues!

FACILITIES: A key goal of Vision 2017 is to provide students and faculty with the best possible
facilities to support a well-rounded, whole-student educational experience. We are closer than ever
to realizing our dream of a new Academic and Athletics Center, with plans to break ground on the
new facilities in Spring 2015. For a complete update on the North Campus expansion, please see
page 7.
FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILIT Y: Vision 2017 calls for Urbans continued, prudent focus on
managing expenses and growing revenue. We are pleased to share that our generous community
collectively contributed more than $1.2 million to the operating budget via the Annual Fund and
Auction, a significant amount for a school of our size and history. Additionally, Urban has continued
to grow its endowment, which is now valued at $7.8 million, through individual and family donations
and the Class Endowment Fund program to preserve the Urban experience for years to come.
WORKING AT URBAN: Urbans commitment to attracting and retaining faculty and staff to
translate the mission of the school into every practice has been a focal point of Vision 2017. This
year faculty participated in myriad programs that influenced and informed their teaching, disciplines
and pedagogy, including Harvards Project Zero on curricular design, Joe Goode Performance
Groups Finding the Bones movement workshop in San Francisco, the National Science Teachers
Conference in Portland, OR, and the National Endowment for Humanities The Roots of Arab
Spring at UC Davis, a tuition-free, highly selective conference. Urban also launched its Summer
Sabbatical Program, a component of Vision 2017, and was able to send a faculty member to East Asia.
Over the summer, the entire History department worked together on an extensive collaborative
curriculum development project to revise the core American History sequence.
PARTICIPATION: We are so grateful for the participation of our entire Urban community in
supporting the Annual Fund, including current and alumni families and trustees, alums, grandparents,
faculty and staff, as well as friends of the school. We are especially honored that 100 percent of
the faculty gave to the effort. Additionally, current parent participation reached 93 percent, and
overall alumni participation was an inspiring 11 percent, both among the highest of our peer Bay
Area independent high schools.
Thank you one and all for leading the way for our students, teachers and programs!

CLASS ENDOWMENT FUNDS

Senior class endowment giving was started by parents in the Class of 2000 as a way to give back to Urban and leave a meaningful legacy.
In 2009, this effort was expanded to include students, grandparents and friends. The Class of 2014 continued this tradition and we are
thrilled to share that 100 percent of the seniors participated with five-year pledges!
Gifts to Class Endowment Funds are unrestricted and allow the school to allocate funds to the most pressing needs and the greatest
opportunities at any particular time.
Many thanks to the following donors for their thoughtful gifts to their Class Endowment Funds during the 2013-14 year.

2013-14 was an exciting time for Urbans Alumni Association. LeRoy Votto continued
as our Alumni Ambassador and his authentic enthusiasm and joy for connecting alums to
the Urban of today bring wonderful energy to the program.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO JOINED US!
All-Alumni Reunion Weekend

We were delighted to welcome back
more than 100 alums to our fifth annual

2003 in October.

Our second-annual Holiday Happy Hour
was well-attended at a fun bar in the Mission,

Portland, OR Reunion
LeRoy traveled to Portland, Oregon and
hosted our first-ever Portland reunion for
a group of alums over the summer.
Alumni Panels
A group of alums who played in Urbans jazz
bands came back in September to speak to
students about their musical studies and
pursuits post-high school, and a wonderful
panel of alums met with seniors in May to
share their advice on how to navigate college
and thrive both personally and academically.
Recent Grad Reunion

Our Recent Grad Reunion in January was
popular, and alums enjoyed seeing their
friends and faculty.
Downtown Happy Hour

In June, we had a successful downtown happy
hour at The Press Club in San Francisco,
giving alums the opportunity to network
and connect with each other.
And special thanks to the many alums

who also visited Urban, tutored students,
interviewed prospective applicants,
coached, interned and attended arts and
sporting events! We are so grateful for
your enthusiasm and involvement!
ENDOWMENT AND
PLANNED GIVING
ENDOWMENT GIVING
BUILDING A STRONG ENDOWMENT
is the best way to ensure that todays

students, as well as future generations,
benefit from Urbans extraordinary teachers,
outstanding programs and diverse community.
The principal from Urbans endowment is never
spent, but the interest earned on the funds
provides a permanent source of income for
the operating budget of the school. Donors
who generously supported Urbans endowment
this year are listed here.

URBAN: WE GOT
A uc ti on 2 0 14
Our community totally relived the 80s at Urbans We Got The Beat Auction on March 29, 2014 at Bimbos 365 Club in North Beach. It was
apparent that it was a good decade for many, as attendees arrived decked out in their acid wash jeans, shoulder pads, black concert t-shirts and
wigs of all variety. Dancing to David Bowie cover band, the Jean Genies, made for an authentic time warp experience. A colorful candy bar with
sweet classics like Pop Rocks and jawbreakers added to the fun. It was a fantastic party and a wonderful gathering of our community in support
of Urbans financial aid program. This years Fund-A-Need was in support of Urbans Visual and Performing Arts Departments and raised over
$93,000! Through the generosity of our underwriters, donors and auction bidders, this years event and Online Auction raised an incredible
$260,000.
The success of Urbans We Got The Beat Auction would not have been possible without the support of our community, and we extend our deepest appreciation to everyone who participated in this years event as a volunteer, donor, underwriter or bidder. A special thanks to our incredible
auction planning committee led by Auction Chair Julie Drummond for the second year in a row! Julies heroic efforts, ever-present leadership
and generous attitude made for a spectacular event for our entire community. We also extend a debt of gratitude to the many parent and student volunteers who enthusiastically dedicated their time and talent to producing this wonderful event.

THE 23 R D ANNUAL
GRANDPARENTS &
SPECIAL FRIENDS DAY
On November 8, 2013, 150 grandparents, aunts, uncles, godparents and
special friends came together for the 23rd Annual Grandparents and Special
Friends Day.
Before attending classes with their student, visitors enjoyed coffee and conversation with Head of School
Mark Salkind (70), who discussed Urbans many exciting programs and offerings, as well as our plans for the
future. The event also included a special preview of the fall musical and theater production Into the Woods in
the Gumption Theater. The special day culminated with a lovely luncheon in the St. Agnes Gym.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF

Commencement for the Class of 2014 took place on Saturday, June 7 in Stern
Grove with friends and family. Musicians and singers performed for their class
and the audience, and the ceremony included inspiring and heart-felt speeches
by English faculty Tilda Kapuya and seniors Miller Klitsner, Seth Rosner and
Katie Wilson. Excerpts are included below.
TILDA KAPUYA
And as you leave the safety of whats familiar to you (Urban, your home, the Bay Area, perhaps this country), know that you just may spend a lifetime asking
yourself some of the same questionsand you may end up with a different answer each time. SoEmbrace paradoxes. Allow yourself the right (at any age!)
not to have answers about some things for a while, to sit in your confusion. And do continue asking yourself: What perplexes me? What am I curious about?
Because you will change somebodys life with your words, your questions. Thank you for changing mine for the better, Class of 2014. From the bottom of this
changed heart: thank you and congratulations!
MILLER KLITSNER (14)
And we need to remember, because though we are becoming different people, we all seem to sustain a constant qualityAnd that quality helps us identify
ourselves. Its a little core of uniqueness that is almost constant throughout our lives, whether we see it or notI feel like I have an identity now, that I have gotten
close to the core of what I am. I know I will probably change over the next few years, and the years after that. But I hope all of you get a chance to find that core,
to be familiar with yourself before you change again.
SETH ROSNER (14)
One of my favorite things about Urban is that I can get up here and spew a series of one-liners, yet you all still listen to and respect me when I get serious. At
Urban I didnt have to choose between class clown and dedicated student. I could be both. Ive witnessed a level of respect here that I have not felt anywhere
elserespect for our quirks, our oddities, our talents and our insecurities. That is why I love Urban. I was able to grow in an environment that supported me no
matter what stupid mistakes I made because they trusted that I would recognize where I went wrong and learn from my choices. I felt completely comfortable
being myself everyday. A community this supportive is rare to come by.
KATIE WILSON (14)
If Urban has taught me anything, its been how to articulate my thoughts, my inclinations and my confusions. Until recently, until the threat of physically leaving
this place became too palpable, I had thought it was just the writing and academic discussion that fed these abilities. But now Im leaving and Im realizing that
what makes Urban Urban for me actually isnt the academia or the intellectualismUrbans influence has been more subtle and deep than that. The words, more
than anything, in a space so verbose, have pervaded my consciousness. Words that are used casually, but carry the weight of so much more: self-recognition,
regard for others and strength of community.

WAYS OF
GIVING
ALL GIFTS ARE VITAL TO THE SUPPORT OF THE URBAN SCHOOL OF SAN FRANCISCOS
ANNUAL, CAPITAL AND ENDOWMENT NEEDS. BELOW YOU WILL FIND INFORMATION ON
OUR GIVING PROGRAMS AND SOME OF THE METHODS BY WHICH YOU CAN MAKE A GIFT.
CASH OR CREDIT CARD

Current gifts are always appreciated and are
tax deductible to the fullest extent as permitted
by law. Urban accepts American Express,
MasterCard and Visa.
ONLINE GIVING
Giving is easy and secure on our website at
www.urbanschool.org/give.
MATCHING GIFTS
Many companies will match or multiply their
employees donations to Urban. To see if
your company qualifies, contact the Human
Resources Department, Community Relations
Department or company foundation.
SECURITIES
If you hold securities that would incur a tax on
capital gains if sold, your outright gift to Urban
could mean significant savings. You obtain a
tax deduction for the full market value of the
gift, and you may avoid a tax on the increase
in value.
MEMORIAL AND HONOR GIFTS
Urban gratefully recognizes gifts made in
memory or in honor of friends, family or
faculty members, or to acknowledge a birthday,
graduation or other significant event.
SHOP FOR URBAN

Several companies, such as Amazon, eScrip
and Target, have established affinity programs
with Urban, giving Urban a percentage of your
purchases at no cost to you. To learn more, please
visit our website at www.urbanschool.org/shop.
Charitable Remainder Trust

This trust provides either a fixed or variable
income for you and your family. Part of the
trust qualifies for an income tax deduction and
at the death of the last beneficiary, the assets
of the trust are distributed to Urban.
PLANNED GIVING OPPORTUNITIES &

URBAN LEGACY SOCIETY
Charitable Lead Trust

This trust allows you to pass on assets to family
members with significant estate and gift tax
savings while allowing Urban to benefit from
the income for the duration of the trust.
Urbans Planned Giving Program provides a

variety of ways to make a deferred or planned
gift that does not deplete lifetime assets and, in
some cases, can furnish additional income and
significant tax deductions. Planned Giving offers
donors a variety of vehicles to make meaningful
gifts to Urbans endowment, as listed below.
The Urban Legacy Society recognizes and honors
those thoughtful donors who have included the
school in their estate plans.
Bequests
A gift provided in your will may be a
percentage of your estate, the residual of
the estate, a certain item or a specific dollar
amount. Estate taxes may be reduced by a
bequest to Urban.
Gifts of Real Estate

A gift of real estate provides considerable tax
benefits. You also have the option of retaining
the right to occupy the property for life or
even to receive the income it generates.
Gifts of Life Insurance or Pension Benefits
A gift of life insurance allows you to
contribute a previously acquired policy that
may no longer be needed for its initial purpose
and realize tax benefits. Urban may also be
named as a beneficiary of a life insurance
policy, company pension or profit-sharing plan,
or of a private fund such as an IRA, Keogh or
tax-sheltered annuity.
We appreciate your interest in and support of The Urban School of San Francisco. Your attorney or financial planner can provide additional information
on how these ways of giving apply to your specific situation. If you are interested in learning more about these gift opportunities for you and Urban,
please contact the Development Office at 415 626 2919.
RETIREMENT
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to Suzanne Forrest, Assistant Head for Academics,
on her retirement. Suzanne began working at Urban in 1995 as Urbans
first dedicated academic administrator, and for the next 19 years devoted
her career to building Urbans academic program and curriculum, and
mentoring and training our outstanding faculty. She also taught French
and French literature at Urban.
Suzannes work has touched all areas of teaching and learning at Urban, but
if I had to pick one facet to single out, it would be her success in building a
culture of great teaching at the school. Suzanne thank you for all you have
given to this school, and all that you have helped to create and to envision.
As you take your leave, I hope you can stand back and take a moment to
reflect on the entirety of our academic program teachers, curriculum and
a culture of great teaching. I hope you like what you see and are proud of it.
I know I am.
