WHERE WE BELONG
Dear Castilleja Community, Each year we explore a guiding theme to frame many of our conversations about who we are and who we hope to become. This year’s theme, Belonging, is one that resonates around the Circle as we weigh the difference between feeling like we fit in and knowing that we truly belong. As a school founded on a vision of equity in education, we also understand that compassionate leaders cultivate belonging across a diverse community. As you read through these pages, I hope you see yourself in the stories and that you always feel a sense of belonging at Castilleja. Whether you are coming to campus every day, have recently returned for a reunion year, or are remembering the Circle from afar, you are part of Castilleja’s diverse and rich history and future. You understand the importance and meaning of our lasting traditions, and you may appreciate how our innovative programs invite new voices and perspectives into our classrooms. This steady evolution helps all of us become a more inclusive and insightful community of lifelong learners. Among these articles and profiles, I want to call your attention to a summary of Castilleja’s new strategic plan. I am so excited to share these goals with you. They will serve as our community’s guideposts for the next five years as we all work to create the brightest possible future for Castilleja. I feel so lucky to be part of a school community that places so much value on philanthropy. Your gifts make it possible for Castilleja to grow along with our students and with the world around us. Thank you for the many ways in which you support Castilleja. With gratitude,
Nanci Z. Kauffman Castilleja Head of School

Innovation at Castilleja TRANSFORMING GOOD IDEAS INTO MEANINGFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCES
New Voices in 8th Grade English Megan Hutchin has spent the last three summers reading novels, memoirs, poems, and essays from diverse authors to include in her 8th grade English curriculum. “I want to incorporate a range of perspectives in the literature, creating opportunities for students to see themselves in the stories and have windows into lives other than their own.”
Engineering Opportunities Sixth grade science teacher Sarah BarnumHA and math teacher Nick Jerrold brought their students outside to work in small groups to build coffee tables and cubbies that will be used around campus. Ms. Barnum explains, “We want them to experience building with tools and feel proud of their spatial skills and problem-solving.” In the Upper School, Castilleja expands STEM offerings with a new Engineering II course. Julian Cortella expects to see his students gain confidence in applying the skills they learned in Engineering I. “At the same time, I hope they realize that as they work, it’s okay to make mistakes. Sometimes that’s where the greatest learning takes place.”

At Castilleja, everyone can be an innovator. Good ideas are generated in the quiet of one’s own mind and in the sustained conversation of our learning community. For our faculty, the journey from concept to implementation is always guided by current research on how girls learn best and what is most relevant to complex interdisciplinary problem-solving.
Exploring Senegal Junior Global Investigator Trips allow students to gain a more personal understanding of the complexities of globalization while building friendships. Our new trip to Senegal asks students to explore the intersection of globalization, traditional values, and urban culture. French teacher and Trip Lead Caroline Brachet explains, “Dakar is at a crossroads, facing shifts around the roles of technology, foreign influence, and migration within an emerging economy. These are questions our students care about.”
Foundational Computer Science (CS) Castilleja 9th graders now take a one-semester introductory computer science course as a graduation requirement. “All students need to understand our digital world to become informed citizens,” explains Department Head Ann Greyson. “Data tells us that girls, more than boys, might avoid studying CS and assume it isn’t of value to them. Building foundational knowledge in 9th grade will also help students appreciate connections and integrate their programming skills in other courses.”
A Thematic Approach to Art History The new Advanced Topics Art History course taught by Helen ShanksHA is organized around guiding themes, encouraging students to explore great artists through different lenses. Ms. Shanks includes a broad array of materials, including podcasts, video clips, and contemporary reviews. “I want them to understand how art can explain the world around them and their inner world as well.” Annual Report 2018 - 2019 | 3
FACULTY PROFILE
Building Bridges A PEEK INSIDE THE CLASSROOM OF ENGLISH TEACHER AND CREATOR OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN WRITERS ELECTIVE, VALERIE ROSSHA
As students arrive in Dr. Ross’ African American Women Writers class, they write their names and different page numbers on the whiteboard and then take their seats. The room falls quiet when a student sitting at the front of the room begins speaking, “Let’s start the free-write. Here’s your prompt: When are women’s appearances used to give or take power from them?” “Did you think of that, or did Dr. Ross?” another student asks. “I did,” she answers. “It’s good,” someone else adds. As their pencils touch paper, the students nod their heads first in agreement, and then in time to the background music the discussion leader has selected. A few minutes later, she signals the end of the freewrite, glances at the whiteboard, and starts calling on her peers to explore the passages they selected from Zora Neale Hurston’s short story, “Isis,” about a day in the life of a highly imaginative and vivacious African American girl. Dr. Ross stands at the board taking notes, asking a clarifying question now and then, but the students carry the conversation. This is by design. Dr. Ross spent months, even years, thinking about this class, and all of that reflection convinced her that it would need to be student owned and student led. When she talks about her reasoning, she explains, “I’m trying to be a bridge builder. Mutual alliance takes humility and respect. I don’t have all of the answers. The course is about what my students think. It’s about empowerment.” The class discussion proves this to be true. The
4 | Castilleja School
students move through the story with curiosity and courage, making connections, and gaining ground on questions that might not have answers. One student remarks about the passage she chose, “The White people in the story seem interested in Isis, maybe in her energy or her light. I couldn’t figure out what they wanted from her exactly...” The conversation slows noticeably. Other students agree this was confusing. Dr. Ross suggests, “This is a motif we will see throughout the semester, a critique of the way White culture appropriates African American culture. This passage gives us an opportunity to think about our own roles as readers in this class. Instead of appropriating, we are celebrating this literary tradition and treating it with respect by studying it in historical context.” Bridge building. Mutual alliance. Empowerment. These are long-standing goals for Dr. Ross. As an undergraduate, she heard the legendary African American activist and poet Audre Lorde give a speech, and she explains, “It was a life-changing moment; she opened my eyes to the way that African American women’s voices were not being represented in the feminist movement.” Dr. Ross immediately enrolled in a series of “unlearning racism” workshops and began taking every class on African American literature she could find. When she moved on to graduate school and her college teaching career, she saw a clear trajectory for her work: “I came to see my education and my teaching as a way to bring awareness to both feminist and social justice issues in my classes.”
This year marks Dr. Ross’ thirtieth year in the classroom and her thirteenth at Castilleja. “Every year at Castilleja has inspired and challenged me in new ways,” she explains. One of those inspiring challenges came when she was invited to create this elective. She knew she would need to work hard to prepare. She had originally designed and taught an early version of this class at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1990, but the conversation around racial identity and social justice changed radically in the intervening years. Dr. Ross embarked on updating and reframing her approach to the topic in the spring and summer of 2018. Her process included discussions with Stacey Kerstman, Castilleja’s Dean of Equity and Inclusion; meeting with Alison Park, an educational social justice curriculum consultant; participating in a King Institute seminar on courageous conversations, diversity in the classrooms, and compassionate listening; and reading a wide array of fiction and non-fiction. She taught the first two sections of this semester in the fall of 2018, and her students didn’t want it to end. In January, leaders of the Diversity Club approached Dr. Ross to see whether she would be willing to host a series of brown bag lunch “teach-ins” open to all Upper School students to continue discussing poems and essays by African American women. She comments, “The student response to the teach-ins was overwhelmingly positive. There is something about this course that can help make the often baffling pieces of the puzzle of American society begin to fit together. African American Women Writers tell the stories that have been erased by the racism and sexism of our country’s history, so it’s only through their voices that
we can truly understand ourselves and the challenges facing our country today.” This fall Dr. Ross is teaching two more sections. If the class discussion of Zora Neale Hurston’s story is any indication, these students will also have more to say after the semester ends. While they pack their books to move to their next class, someone asks, “Who’s leading discussion next time?” A student checks a list and calls out a name. “Oh, she’s going to do a good job,” another student says. “We’re all going to do a good job,” someone else adds. Bridge building. Mutual alliance. Empowerment. It’s Dr. Ross’ turn to smile and nod her head in agreement.

DONOR VOICES
A Community of Giving Everyone in our community makes a difference through their giving. Employees, current and past parents, and alumnae have empowered Castilleja today and into the future.
Belonging AN EMPLOYEE PERSPECTIVE “Employee giving is always directed toward the Student Activities Fund, which helps with expenses that students may encounter outside of tuition. In the library, it might allow a student to get ingredients to participate in the Edible Book Festival or receive a signed book from a visiting writer. I am proud to be part of an institution that ensures all students have access to the same opportunities, down to these small details. When I give to Castilleja, I know I’m contributing to a sense of belonging. In the library, we benefit from gifts to Castilleja everyday. The generosity of our broader community allows me to say yes to new additions to our collection, creative partnerships, cutting-edge resources, and innovative opportunities. I am so grateful to be trusted as a steward to pursue exciting programming
that makes our library a model for independent schools around the country.” — Jole SeroffHA Director of Library and Information Services
Supporting Women PARENTS’ PERSPECTIVE “We have always invested in foundations, policies, and initiatives that support girls and women. Women make up half of the global population and deserve the opportunity to become equal contributors. Over time, we have come to see that education creates the mindset for lasting change. When you have a platform like Castilleja with a mission to create women leaders who engage in the community, you know that you can really make a difference with your support.” — Noriko and Norman Chen P’21

ALUMNAE PERSPECTIVES
Gratitude
My Turn
“My first step toward my MD-PhD was the fetal pig dissection in 8th grade science with Ms. BarkerHA. I still remember every detail; I even wrote about it in my medical school applications. Castilleja helped me transform from a shy 6th grader to an emboldened scientist. It was such a happy time in my life, and I stay connected in a concrete way through donating annually. Giving back is my way of practicing gratitude, helping me reflect and honor all of the people who supported me and shaped who I am today.”
“My parents were happy to support our schools while we attended, but they firmly believed it was our responsibility once we graduated. I’ve always been proud to support the place where I lived (in the dorm!) and learned so much, so I have made giving to Castilleja a priority every year since 1980. As a long-time supporter, I hope to serve as a role model for younger alumnae by giving for over 30 years and by designating Castilleja through planned giving in my estate. I am proud to be part of supporting Castilleja’s past, present, and future.”
— Ericka von Kaeppler ’09
— Elizabeth “Libby” Hulsey ’80
Confidence and Connection “My teachers at Castilleja encouraged me to make brave choices and understand that anything is possible. The friends I made at Castilleja are still my best friends; our bonds have carried through a lifetime of different choices and careers and children. I give to Castilleja now, because I want to support that confidence and connection. I want to support the faculty and students who are there now; the school isn’t anything without them, and I want to ensure that Castilleja continues to be to other people what it was to me.” — Cathy Friedman ’78 P’11 P’20

LOYALS
A LIFETIME OF SUPPORT
Loyals CASTILLEJA CELEBRATES THE LASTING CONTRIBUTIONS OF ANN AND JOHN DOERR P’09 Each year at our Loyals event we recognize people who have become lifetime stewards of the school by supporting the campus and the programming in countless quiet and lasting ways. In March of 2019, in the home of Anjali and Sundar Pichai, Ann and John Doerr were honored as Loyals for their vision to launch the Global Investigator Trips and their inspiration to remember Doug Bourn in naming the Bourn Idea Lab.

PILLARS FOR THE FUTURE
Castilleja’s Strategic Plan 2019-2024 WHAT’S POSSIBLE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF WOMEN LEADERS? We often ask our students to contemplate a brave question: What’s possible for you at Castilleja? This bold strategic plan is our opportunity to ask a similar question of ourselves: What’s possible for Castilleja and the next generation of women leaders? There has never been a more exciting moment to educate girls, and this plan charts a path for our future while telling an important story about our community of students, employees, alumnae, and current and past families. These four pillars are the foundation of Castilleja, supporting our mission. Within each pillar, we have defined goals based on who we are now and who we hope to become.

Emblems bright of hope and cheer... The Class of 2026 is comprised of 60 girls with 54 different names. They speak seven different languages at home and come from 43 schools. Now, they are Castilleja. FROM THEIR ADMISSION APPLICATIONS:
I wonder... How would it feel to be someone else? Why do my hands get pruney when I have a long shower? What was on the last 18 minutes of the Nixon tapes, and where are they? What is my cat thinking? What would the U.S. be like with a female president? When will I get another dog? Will I do something fun tomorrow? How did the universe begin and will it go on forever? When will everybody be happy with just what they have?

assistance that helped keep our daughter at the place that came to be her educational home and changed her life forever.” — CASTILLEJA PARENT
18 | Castilleja School
VIEW360 — AN EVENING TO THRIVE View360—a thought-provoking and inspiring symposium—raises funds for Castilleja’s tuition assistance program, making it possible for a qualified student to attend, regardless of her family’s financial circumstances. Since it began 12 years ago, View360 has raised $9.8M, comprising almost 30% of our annual tuition assistance budget. This year’s View360, hosted at Oracle headquarters, brought together an exceptional group of speakers. In keeping with the school’s theme for the year, Thrive, the Castilleja community helped raise over $1.3 million to support tuition assistance.

SENIOR GIFT
THE CLASS OF 2019 Recent graduates returned to the Circle for the Opening Day Tie Ceremony — and a visit to one of their class gifts, a water filling station in the gym.
Now & Later
THE CLASS OF 2019 LEAVES A LASTING LEGACY As a group, the Class of 2019 debated about their legacy. Did they want to make an immediate impact on daily life around the Circle, or did they want to leave a gift that would shape the school for years to come? Of course, there were strong opinions—supported by well-organized, relevant evidence—on both sides. Deciding how to give can involve give and take. The Senior Gift offers seniors an opportunity to think about their role in Castilleja’s future before they graduate. Over the years, this tradition has created a fun sense of possibility for seniors while they explore proposals and make choices together. The process began early for the Class of 2019, with a committee to help guide conversations and gather ideas. This year, Molly Glickman, Annika Khouri, Rebecca Mak, Naira Mirza, Chloe Nicolaou, Samantha Noeth Lewis, Lilah Penner-Brown, and Claire Pisani led the way reviewing suggestions from various community members. Alumnae investment has been key to the success of this program in recent years. Since 2016, Courtney Carter Charney ’97 and Kimberley Morris Rosen ’98 have offered support, advice, 40 | Castilleja School
and matching funds that model the importance of continuing to connect with and invest in the Castilleja community. As has been the case since this tradition began, the Class of 2019 reached 100% participation, raising $3,000. With a successful fundraising campaign complete, the question still loomed. Now or later? “In the end,” explains Senior Gift Committee Chair Rebecca Mak, “we were able to divide the funds across short-term and long-term purposes. It felt really good to be able to look at the final amount of money we had raised and make choices to address two important goals that we all supported.” Seniors used a portion of their funds to create a water bottle filling station in the lobby of the Joan Z. Lonergan Center that is already in use, reducing the need for single-use water bottles on campus. The other portion of their gift has been set aside to support bills that pass through CastiCongress, a sophomore project that involves drafting legislation and presenting possible policy changes to the school administration. The Class of 2019 remembered this as a powerful learning experience, and with this gift they will support future student-driven initiatives.

IT’S A MYSTERY
Niav Layton
Last Spring, a mystery alumna in the class of ’53 proposed a plan to help inspire every graduating senior to show her own appreciation to Castilleja. In honor of the Class of 2019, she donated $20,190 to be used for two purposes: to match the giving from the senior class and support Tuition Assistance. Because of her generosity more girls will have access to a Castilleja education. Maybe she will do it again for another class...

Margarita Espinosa Society The Margarita Espinosa Society was founded in October 2010 to honor members of the Castilleja community who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to the school by making gifts for 20 or more consecutive years. The consistent support of these donors has enabled Castilleja to remain at the forefront of women’s education, and their generosity and continued support of the school is deeply appreciated.
