Reflections on My New Beginnings at Fountain Valley School

Dear Friends,

As an adolescent, one of my favorite authors was Willa Cather, and I was in awe of her beautiful writing and descriptions of life on the Western frontier. It is no wonder that when I took a left off Grinnell Street and pulled between the opening gates for my interview, I was immediately won over before even stepping out of the car. The open grasses leading up to the snow-capped mountains filled me with a sense of hope, freedom and peace.

I believe it is these characteristics of Fountain Valley School that make it so unique and enable our students to learn and live in an environment that fosters what the western sky and prairie conjures. To offer a transformative curriculum from teachers who are passionate about their subjects and push their students to think, create, write and solve problems in a setting that inspires and balances the soul is a true gift to those fortunate adolescents who enroll. I can’t help but wonder if all those before me felt that same magic from this school on the prairie.

I am honored and thrilled to have the opportunity to serve as the ninth head at a school with a rich history and foundation that is also on the move and ready to live up to its mission and potential. I feel I have the good fortune to build upon the efforts of all of those before me in order to guide FVS to new heights and aspirations. In my short time here, I have cherished hearing the stories of our current and past students, and I am eager to continue to learn from all of you as I deepen my understanding of Fountain Valley.

In August, I met with Steve Cochran from the class of 1960 and James Orban from the class of 1959. Steve welcomed me by

sharing with me highlights from “Sir I Was Wondering: My Life in the Prep School World” by Lewis Perry Jr. Lewis Perry certainly had a heartwarming impact on Steve, and the excerpt that truly resonated with me and my philosophy was:

“I believe in the great principles of redemption—of treating people as if they were already worthy of admiration and reward— before they have had a chance to demonstrate that they are not. I think almost all people respond to confidence and trust. My experience has been that if you are honest with students and make yourself vulnerable to genuinely trying to see things from their perspective—remembering how it once was with you—they will, with very few exceptions, never let you down.”

It is a timeless statement about the respect needed to be successful while working with adolescents, and I could not agree more with Mr. Perry. This is just one example of timelessness I have discovered while reading the rich history of Fountain Valley School. While I am frequently struck by how much things have changed, so much remains the same in regard to the power of a studentcentered approach to decision-making and leadership. I also feel that Mr. Perry’s emphasis on confidence and trust is still crucial to a successful educational institution today, and I am humbled by the confidence and trust that the community has shown me in the opening days of our school year.

At one point in “My Antonia,” Willa Cather’s main character comes to accept the power of the land and his place there and reflects: “That is happiness, to be dissolved into something complete and great.” Those words reflect the magnitude of the emotions I am feeling as I begin this important journey. I am full of happiness and feel that it is my great fortune to be at Fountain Valley School. I look forward to meeting all of you and to sharing in your enthusiasm for this powerful little school on the prairie. My husband, Geoff, and our three children share in my excitement for this new adventure in our lives.

History in the Making: FVS Heads of School

Fountain Valley School

From Francis Froelicher to Megan Harlan, Fountain Valley School’s 92-year history can be chronicled through its heads of school.

FVS’ heads of school were front and center when Boies Penrose Hall was built, when the School went coed and when the campus quarantined during a global pandemic. They have celebrated sports championships and college admittance letters with students and parents. They’ve trekked to the mountain campus and rode across the Prairie. And along the way, they’ve helped thousands of graduates embody the FVS values of courage, curiosity, compassion, self-reliance and open-mindedness.

In 2022, FVS made history yet again, welcoming its ninth head of school and the first woman to hold the position. In recognition of this milestone, we consulted Bulletin archives, current faculty and staff, and David G. Lavender’s book “They Wrote Their Own Histories: Fountain Valley School’s First 70 Years” to create a narrative of FVS as illustrated by its heads of school.

Francis M. Froelicher 1930-50

In1929, Elizabeth Sage Hare sent a letter to her friend, Francis Froelicher, in Baltimore. “Do, do come to us,” she wrote. “We’ll put something over here that will be really fine, and you shall have a free hand.”

“Something over here” was Hare’s vision for a progressive boarding school in her adopted home of Colorado Springs. And Froelicher was her choice for the School’s first headmaster.

Francis Mitchell Froelicher was born in Baltimore in 1892, the son of Swiss emigrants who were devoted to both education and the Quaker faith. He graduated summa cum laude from Haverford College in Pennsylvania, where he was captain of the football and track teams and president of the student body and glee club.

After receiving a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University, Froelicher became a leader in the progressive education movement, which emphasized individualized instruction, experimentation in the classroom, and friendly relationships between students and teachers. Froelicher met Hare while he was provost of a progressive school in Connecticut, and her son lived with him and his family during the 1920s.

Froelicher was intrigued by Hare’s request to start a progressive school, but skeptical about moving out West. And yet, when he and his wife, Elizabeth, visited Colorado Springs in September 1929, he fell in love with the area—particularly the mountains. In fact, he eventually climbed each of the state’s 14,000-foot peaks.

Two months after his initial visit to Colorado, Froelicher was appointed Fountain Valley School of Colorado’s first headmaster at a princely (for that time) salary of $12,000 a year.

Froelicher immediately began creating the school Hare envisioned. He hired six teachers from the East Coast who

were dedicated to progressive education. He developed a strong academic program complemented by robust extracurricular activities like music, drama and athletics. His Great Dane, Duke, even served as inspiration for the FVS mascot.

Froelicher traveled extensively to recruit the 57 boys who made up the first FVS class of 1930. But the Great Depression soon decreased class sizes and caused financial hardships for the School. Froelicher countered by creating the first FVS student scholarships, and by the beginning of World War II, enrollment was up to more than 90 students a year.

America’s entry into the war had significant impacts on FVS, and Froelicher was forced to pivot. With support staff hard to find, students began doing chores around campus. Seniors took accelerated classes in preparation for being drafted or entering officer training programs. And as teachers signed up for military service, Froelicher competed with other schools to find replacements.

Post-war, FVS flourished. The School’s first day students were admitted, and the FVS Annual Fund was established.

On Dec. 18, 1950, Froelicher submitted his resignation. He and his wife moved back to Baltimore, where he worked as a consultant in the public school system. He died of cancer in 1960, at age 68.

At the memorial service, C. Dwight Perry, who served as acting headmaster after Froelicher left, called Froelicher an “educational pioneer” who was gentle, sensitive, generous and understanding, loved books, mountains, music and poetry, and “gave short shirt to superficial thinking and to social sham.”

6 Fountain Valley School

Henry B. Poor 1951-58

HenryBenjamin Poor quickly became the Board of Trustees’ choice for Fountain Valley School’s second headmaster. They admired his work as assistant to the headmaster of Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts, which specialized in education of the “whole boy.”

Poor was born in Passaic, New Jersey, in 1917. After two years of public high school, he transferred to Deerfield, graduating in 1935. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Amherst College in Massachusetts and then returned to Deerfield, where he worked as a math teacher and coach before being named assistant to the headmaster, Frank Boyden.

Unlike FVS, Deerfield was not a progressive school. Students followed a strict schedule, wore coats and ties to class, and had formal relationships with their teachers. Because Poor’s FVS recruitment and interview were cursory, he had no idea how much FVS differed from Deerfield. But he was eager to leave the East Coast, so he accepted the FVS headmaster job without visiting the campus.

Poor, his wife, Tink, and their four children moved into the Hacienda in the summer of 1951. Poor started implementing more formal relationships between the boys and their teachers, strict on-time attendance at meals and all-school meetings, and dorm duty every weeknight and weekend for teachers.

Poor also oversaw construction of a new gymnasium, helped create more scholarships to boost student diversity, substantially increased enrollment and advocated for higher faculty salaries. In addition, he was skilled at alumni and community relations. He was involved in a variety of Colorado Springs organizations and helped form the Association of Colorado Independent Schools.

Poor believed religion should be an important part of FVS education. He hosted Sunday chapel services in the Hacienda

and required all students to attend church services of their choice every week in Colorado Springs. He also oversaw the beginning of the construction of the FVS chapel.

Most importantly, Poor helped prioritize preservation of FVS’ land and water holdings. During his tenure, FVS consolidated school lands, purchased shares in the Fountain Mutual Irrigation Company, drilled more wells on campus and created a reservoir to store the water.

Poor left campus during the spring break of 1958, moved back East and took a job as executive secretary of the Amherst College Committee on Endowment. He later served as headmaster of Montclair Academy, a day school in New Jersey. Poor died in 2009, at age 91, in Philadelphia.

7Bulletin 2022

Lewis W. Perry Jr. 1958-78

Ifthere were a royal family of boarding school educators, the Perrys would certainly qualify.

Lewis Perry Sr. was headmaster of Phillips Exeter Academy for more than 30 years. Lewis Jr. attended Milton Academy and Exeter, graduated from Harvard University with a bachelor’s degree in English, and earned a master’s degree from Oxford University in 1938. He then began a long teaching career at Lawrenceville Academy in New Jersey.

Like his father, Lewis Perry Jr.’s goal was to be a headmaster. But it wasn’t until he was 45 years old that he got his opportunity.

Perry was named Fountain Valley School’s third headmaster in the spring of 1958. He served for 20 years, presiding over the school as it morphed during the rebellious 1960s from a New Englandstyle male, all-white prep school to a coed, more diverse institution that manifested the character and spirit of the American West.

Perry embraced Francis Froelicher’s progressive, collegial vision for FVS, but he felt the School also needed to grow. During his tenure, he increased the number of students, teachers and administrators, and substantially upgraded academic admissions criteria. He oversaw construction of a new swimming pool, library, administration building, infirmary and state-of-the-art classroom building, which he insisted be named the Froelicher Academic Building. He also helped develop the mountain campus (now named the Class of ‘69 Mountain Campus).

In addition, Perry instituted long-range fundraising goals and was the first headmaster to balance the School’s budget—an accomplishment he repeated every year of his tenure.

Perry’s initiatives were quickly recognized. In 1962, Time magazine named FVS one of the top three boarding schools in the West. But soon afterward, FVS was affected by the rebellion and turmoil sweeping through American colleges and prep schools. Perry and the faculty and staff grappled with how to handle a new generation of students with a new set of values.

Perry was also committed to diversifying the student body. FVS’ first minority student, Duane Yellowtail, a Crow from Montana, enrolled in 1967. The first African American student, Eric Barry, enrolled in 1968. By 1969, FVS had students from 32 states and nine countries.

Perry was also pivotal in making FVS coeducational. He feared enrollment and academic integrity would decline if girls weren’t admitted. At Perry’s urging, in 1969, the Board of Trustees approved the formation of a faculty committee to study coed schools. Six years later, 16 female boarders and 19 female day students began classes. Three new female teachers also joined the faculty. In 1976, 77 girls enrolled, making FVS a truly coeducational school.

Perry only presided over three coed classes. He retired in June 1978, having served the 20 years as headmaster that he had planned when he first took the job.

Perry and his wife, Mary, lived in Colorado Springs after he retired. He died in 2010, at the age of 97.

8 Fountain Valley School

Timothy Knox 1978-87

LewisPerry announced his retirement a year and a half in advance, giving the Board of Trustees plenty of time to find a successor. After an interview process that also involved faculty, the Board opted for Timothy Knox.

Knox was born in New Hampshire and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 1961. He received a master’s degree from Columbia University two years later, and then taught at Carnegie Tech and the Merchant Marine Academy. After that, he taught at The Dalton School in New York before becoming assistant headmaster of Saddle River Country Day School in New Jersey. He held that job for two years before being hired as Fountain Valley School’s fourth headmaster in January 1978.

Knox said one of the reasons the Board hired him was to provide more supervision, discipline and professionalism for the faculty, which had been devising and implementing their own curricula without input from department chairs.

Even before Knox, his wife, Liz, and their two sons settled into the Hacienda, he began a campaign to increase academic rigor and tighten discipline throughout the School. Some students

protested Knox’s implementation of structured weekend programs and Saturday classes—but Knox thought too much free time was creating problems. There was more cooperation during Knox’s second year, and students and faculty eventually became supportive of his goals.

The last four years of Knox’s tenure brought impressive improvements in college placements and academic qualifications of new students. There was also more emphasis on special programs like Interim, sports and riding. And there was more use of the mountain campus for student activities.

But Knox was spending about 40 percent of his time traveling to meet with donors around the country. He began feeling out of touch with the campus and grew weary. As a result, he took a six-month sabbatical during the 1985-86 academic year. Assistant Headmaster Eric Waples took over as acting head, and was popular with the faculty and administration.

Knox returned to FVS at the beginning of 1986, and oversaw the School’s reaccreditation that spring. He spent much of his remaining time that year working on the School’s capital campaign that was adopted early in his tenure. The five-year fundraising goal was $8.7 million; the final total was $7.6 million—the most the School had ever raised. Some consider this capital campaign the greatest legacy of the Knox administration.

After leaving FVS, Knox had a lengthy stint as headmaster of Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire. He retired in 2003, and he and Liz currently divide their time between their homes in New Hampshire and Wales.

Eric S. Waples 1987-95

Afterurging from faculty colleagues, Eric Snowden Waples applied for the headmaster job. He was named Fountain Valley School’s fifth headmaster on Feb. 7, 1987.

Waples was born in 1944 in Lafayette, Indiana. After earning a BA in history from Dartmouth College, he began his teaching career at The Loomis School in Windsor, Connecticut.

In 1972, he was awarded a master of arts in teaching in history from Colorado College, and that fall, he became a member of FVS’ history faculty. In 1980, Waples was named FVS’ academic dean, and in 1983, he was promoted to assistant headmaster.

Waples and his wife, Carolyn, raised their two children at FVS, and were integral parts of the Colorado Springs community. Compassionate and sensitive, Waples was wildly popular among the faculty. As headmaster, he was determined to restore a sense of community to the School after Knox’s tenure. This included creating “big sibling” and peer counseling programs to help integrate new students.

During Waples’ tenure, FVS renovated the Tuft Visual Arts Center, renovated and expanded the physical plant, and built the Frautschi Campus Center and a new science building. But admissions numbers dropped, although the academic quality of the new students remained relatively high.

Teachers had large workloads and were underpaid, which Waples tried to solve by advocating for bigger salaries. There were also concerns about ethnic and gender diversity among students, faculty and the administration. Waples worked hard to improve this, starting an English as a Second Language program and prioritizing the recruitment of students of color.

Throughout his tenure, Board of Trustees members wanted Waples to spend more time visiting alumni and parents and working on fundraising, but Waples was a teacher at heart who was loath to leave campus. He announced his resignation in April 1994, effective June 1995. After Waples left FVS, he became head of the upper school history department at the Potomac School in McLean, Virginia.

The 1995 Bulletin remembers Waples as modeling “good teaching and good scholarship, encouraging us to take intellectual risks, to love learning for learning’s sake, and to infuse that love in our students” during his 23-year tenure at FVS.

John E. Creeden 1995-2007

About60 people nationwide applied for the headmaster job that Waples vacated. The Board of Trustees was looking for someone with creative ideas who could give FVS a fresh start, and despite his lack of boarding school experience, John E. (Jack) Creeden fit that vision.

Creeden was born in Boston in 1952. After earning a BA from the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts, and an MA and a PhD in educational administration from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UWM), he was named assistant dean of UWM’s College of Letters and Science.

In 1986, Creeden was hired as assistant provost for student affairs at Rutgers University in New Jersey. In 1993, he was promoted to associate provost for faculty personnel & planning. His wife, Carole Martin, PhD, taught in Rutgers’ psychology department during this time.

Despite his background in higher education, Creeden believed the most formative years for students were before they entered college. “We lay the foundation at the secondary level for acquiring the skills that are essential for success in college and later life,” he wrote in the 1995 Bulletin

Creeden was committed to making FVS the preeminent boarding school in the West, and he tackled this with an institutional mindset. Five years after he was hired, he developed FVS 2000: A Strategic Plan, which ushered in a period of great change and improvement.

FVS 2000 had three goals: a more selective student body, a more rigorous curriculum within the Western tradition, and excellence in the residential life program.

To achieve the first goal, Creeden and the Board of Trustees implemented a five-year plan to reduce class size and boost admission standards.

To meet the second goal, Creeden formed a committee of faculty, students and trustees to critically review academic programs,

assessment techniques, use of technology, advanced placement offerings and the most innovative teaching methodologies. He also advocated for a comprehensive study of the American West, with the Western Immersion Program as the cornerstone of the revised curriculum.

For the third goal, Creeden called for increased and better training for faculty in the residence life program, along with more varied weekend activities. He also made plans to construct a new residence hall complex (Figge House, Ballantine House and Sinclaire House), renovate the Boies Penrose and Sage residence halls, and build new faculty residences (including Naumburg House) and the Howe headmaster’s residence.

Of course, to achieve all of this would take a substantial amount of money. The capital initiatives for enhancing campus life were estimated at $15.4 million. Other capital initiatives, including a sports facility annex, tennis court construction, riding program improvements, renovation of the mountain campus and refurbishment of campus infrastructure, totaled $5.6 million.

There were also $2 million in endowments proposed for student financial aid and scholarships, and an $8 million endowment for faculty.

By 1998, FVS’ overall endowment was more than $20 million—the largest ever. The Board also authorized the School to issue $9 million in tax-exempt bonds under a new state of Colorado program.

But despite this success, Creeden wasn’t finished. He launched the FVS@75 initiative, and by 2003, the School had completed its largest capital campaign in history, raising $24 million. He also launched a new marketing campaign to strengthen student recruitment efforts nationwide.

While the Board of Trustees offered Creeden a five-year contract extension in 2006, he decided it was time to move on. He submitted his resignation, effective June 30, 2007.

After leaving FVS, Creeden was named headmaster of Providence Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2011, he became president of School Year Abroad, and in 2016, he was chosen as the head of school at Chadwick School near Los Angeles. In 2020, Creeden was named head of Whitby School in Greenwich, Connecticut.

11Bulletin 2022

Craig W. Larimer 2007-13

In1963, 12-year-old Craig Larimer and his father drove from their home in the Broadmoor neighborhood of Colorado Springs to the Fountain Valley campus. Larimer’s father was eager for his son to attend FVS, and had set up an admissions interview with Headmaster Lew Perry.

Larimer remembers being impressed that an adult was interested in hearing his opinions. And those opinions (not to mention his appearance) must have impressed Perry. His interview notes read: “Good looking boy. Short haircut. Glasses. Looks like a good boy.”

Larimer became a member of the FVS class of 1969. He excelled during his five years at the School, making the dean’s list and serving as varsity co-captain of the soccer team, a member of the debate and investment clubs, and the Day Boy representative on the student council.

Larimer’s years at Fountain Valley also influenced his career vision. He decided he didn’t want to be a doctor like his father and grandfather. Instead, he earned a BA in international relations from Pomona College in California, with the goal of becoming a foreign service officer. He followed that up with an MA in international relations from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and then became an economist and policy official for the U.S. Treasury Department.

In 1980, the Treasury Department sent Larimer to London as a financial attaché, where he helped facilitate the release of the Americans held during the Iran hostage crisis. But when his Treasury bosses wanted him to return home, Larimer balked. He had met his future wife, Irene, in England, and had finally achieved his dream of working abroad.

Larimer left the Treasury Department to become a banker, traveling extensively in Europe and the Middle East. Fifteen years later, he, Irene, and their four children moved back to the States, and he reconnected with FVS. He became a class agent and president of the alumni association.

In 1999, Larimer was elected to the FVS Board of Trustees, and was named president of the Board in 2003. When Jack Creeden submitted his resignation in 2006, the Board didn’t have to look far for their new headmaster. Not only was Larimer the first alumnus to serve as FVS headmaster, but he was also the first headmaster with a business background.

Larimer quickly introduced a five-year strategic plan that called for a strong financial foundation for the School. He approached FVS as a business that needed a mission statement and a plan of how it fit into the boarding school marketplace. His goal was to build on Creeden’s accomplishments rather than make radical change.

During his tenure, Larimer was instrumental in renovating and expanding the Lewis Perry Jr. Chapel; constructing more faculty housing; and building the Hanna Family Equestrian Center, the Welcome Center and a 400-meter track. He also implemented campus sustainability measures, including creating a holistic landmanagement program and installing or restoring solar panels on campus buildings.

Larimer’s academic advancements included introducing new Mandarin, robotics, AP computer science and economic classes, along with Global Scholar, Round Square, Transitions and Onward programs. The School’s instrumental music program was expanded, and the Dominique Dunne Film Competition was revived. Larimer also helped reestablish the boys’ golf and ice hockey programs, and established the girls’ lacrosse and mountain biking teams.

Impressively, Larimer was able to do this in the midst of a global recession. He not only achieved the highest annual fund-giving total in FVS history, but also helped raise $10.2 million in capital gifts.

Larimer left FVS at the end of the 2013 school year and retired in Colorado Springs.

From 2014 to 2020, he volunteered as a trustee for the Palmer Land Conservancy, a nonprofit organization that helps preserve open lands in southeastern Colorado.

12 Fountain Valley School

William V. Webb 2013-22

Followingthe announcement of Craig Larimer’s resignation, FVS conducted an extensive search for what it was now calling the head of school. Nearly 100 candidates around the world were screened, and the Board of Trustees unanimously chose William V. Webb.

Webb graduated from Groton School in Massachusetts in 1993, and then earned a BA in English from the University of Vermont. He began his boarding school career at The Gunnery in Connecticut as a teacher and assistant dean of students.

After returning to the University of Vermont as a development officer, Webb earned a master’s degree in independent school organization and leadership from Columbia University in 2004. Following a short stint as assistant dean of students and English teacher at Athens Academy in Georgia, Webb returned to Groton in 2005 as the associate director of development and director of alumni affairs, and later as associate director of admission and assistant varsity lacrosse coach.

In 2011, Webb and his wife, Sarah, moved to Oklahoma City after he was hired as assistant head of school for external affairs at Heritage Hall School. A year later, their daughter, Maggie, was born, and a year after that, the young family arrived at FVS.

Although Webb hadn’t previously been a head of school, he had earned a reputation as a brilliant fundraiser and a leader in external affairs at his previous schools. The FVS Board felt the School was ready to grow, and tasked Webb with coming up with the next “big idea” to accomplish that.

FVS was still carrying debt from capital projects dating as many as 20 years before. It was also operating without a master plan for building construction and placement. Webb and the administrative team developed an ambitious, 20-year campus and ranch master plan, including input from engineers and land and water-use experts.

The first stage of Webb’s master plan encompassed updating the campus infrastructure, including electricity, water pressure and traffic routes. This stage also included a new facilities and transportation building, an athletic center and more faculty housing.

The second stage included a plan to make the center of campus pedestrian-only, and construction of a new performing arts center. The third stage included construction of a new academics building.

Webb was clear that he didn’t want to begin any construction until FVS had the necessary financing in hand. During his tenure, he spearheaded the largest capital campaign in FVS history, raising over $25 million. He also helped the School raise more than $50 million in contributions. All of this allowed phase one of the master plan to be completed by 2018.

Webb also prioritized developing an FVS brand and culture. He wanted academics that were process-driven (focusing on the joy of learning and teaching) rather than product-driven (focusing on “teaching to the test”).

Webb was also concerned about FVS departments operating in silos, so he oversaw a communications audit of the entire School. The result was Team Fountain Valley, Webb’s vision for a cohesive School focused on the core values of courage, curiosity, compassion, self-reliance and open-mindedness.

Webb’s communications and fundraising skills were put to the test in early 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit FVS. His Team Fountain Valley infrastructure helped create a cohesive administration that could make hard decisions about school closures and quarantines and communicate them quickly and accurately. And the School’s strong financial base encouraged donations, meaning that unlike some other boarding schools, FVS was able to weather COVID-related tuition losses.

In October 2021, shortly after FVS resumed regular, post-COVID operations, Webb announced that he had been hired as the next head of school for Salisbury School in Connecticut, effective July 1, 2022. He said the decision to leave FVS was difficult, but he and his wife yearned to return to their East Coast roots.

An FVS Search Committee conducted a global search for Webb’s replacement. In March 2022, the board unanimously chose Megan Harlan as FVS’ ninth head of school and the first female head of school.

What is your fondest memory of your time at FVS?

Timothy Knox

I have many memories of students at FVS—their accomplishments and their friendship. When I began remembering individuals, I realized that I simply could not mention everyone I would like to. So, with an affectionate hello to all of my graduates, here are a few (non-student) highlights from my nine FVS years:

• Successfully staging the 50th anniversary celebration for 450 alumni and friends, with the generous assistance of Sam Goldwyn (and much work from my wife, Liz, among others)

• FVS winning the playoff game of the Colorado high school hockey tournament, with a shutout for Mark Morrison ’84 in goal (and then the fun of declaring a headmaster’s holiday in the Air Force Academy stadium)

• Planning and building the experimental passive solar dorms (named for Dwight Perry)

• Reading the stor y of India Wood’s ’84 discovery of a Jurassic mammal in People magazine

I also have some fond personal memories: going on a pack trip led by Deck Cheney; taking students on ski trips; having World Cup soccer teams practice on our field; living in the Hacienda with its beautiful courtyard; and transforming a water tank into the “Tower Suites” (so named by Fisher Howe, who loved staying there!).

Eric Waples

Although my fondest memories from FVS all involve individual relationships with students and faculty, one especially memorable occasion was Headmaster Lewis Perry’s retirement party.

Lew received effusive accolades from several generations of faculty and students who proceeded to the podium. As a fairly new faculty member, the eye opener for me was the nature of the comments. None of them focused on Lew’s accomplishments developing programs, adding buildings or raising endowment. Instead, each speaker universally praised Lew’s kindness, empathy, sensitivity, humility, good humor and attentiveness to him or her as an individual.

The memory of that evening and the resultant message of what is most important in life was never far from my thoughts during the remainder of my career at Fountain Valley.

Fountain Valley School14

Craig Larimer

Morning is magical at Fountain Valley School. Sunrise over the prairie illuminates the campus, promising a new day. Summer there is delightful, but even in its morning glory the campus is missing something … students, the lifeblood of the School.

My best memories are connected to students in the morning. Sleepy eyes approaching and within the dining hall at breakfast; bright faces laughing on the way to class; eager ones meeting prospective families as they arrive on Visitors’ Day; exuberant members of the senior class as we pin corsages at breakfast on Commencement morning—the promise of a new Spring.

Will Webb

I have been fortunate to experience many, many indelible moments and memories during our nine-year tenure on the Prairie. One that always brings a smile to my face is from a shindig with the seniors of the Class of 2016 in the depths of winter.

The snow was blowing sideways and accumulating quickly, but Howe Residence was warm and filled with the energy of foosball, Catch Phrase, Jenga and a particularly contentious game of Uno around the dining table. Amidst the onslaught of a coordinated senior attack that left my hands overfilled with cards was a focused and impassioned discussion about the desire for a snow day. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, I and the administrative team had decided to announce a holiday for the next day at 9 p.m. via email.

As that time drew nearer, the discussion grew more intense, and right at 8:59 p.m., Bobby York ’16 stood up, slapped her hands with great fervor on the table, and in exasperation said: “MR. WEBB, IF EVER THERE WERE A TIME TO MAKE THE HARD, RIGHT DECISION OVER THE EASY WRONG, IT IS NOW!”

I have so many fond memories of FVS. Nothing is more exciting than to lead the procession up from the Frautschi Center on Commencement morning. The tent is filled with smiling faces waiting to celebrate the graduates.

There is also no more genuine Colorado experience than to be on the side of a mountain writing and sketching with the sophomore class, Rob Gustke, Rob Gilbert and Dave Reynolds on the Western Immersion Program (WIP). And spending Sunday at Breckenridge on a ski trip sponsored by Andy and Lynn Handford and 20 students made for a perfect day!

I could not hold it together any longer and just burst out laughing, as did the rest of the seniors after an awkward pause. And then their phones started dinging with the arrival of the email announcing a Head of School Holiday for the next day. As they saw the subject and then read the email, laughter erupted, with a healthy dose of well-deserved ribbing directed at me.

questions NINE for the

NINTH HEAD OF SCHOOL

On July 1, Megan Harlan became Fountain Valley’s newest head of school, following a comprehensive international search.

Harlan has an extensive background in education as a student, teacher and administrator. After graduating from Westminster School in Connecticut, she majored in American literature at Middlebury College in Vermont and then earned an MS in counseling from Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

Harlan’s early learning opportunities also went beyond the classroom. She was a National Outdoor Leadership School scholar in Kenya and worked as a certified wilderness firefighter, a sheep farmer in Australia and New Zealand, and a backcountry ranger for the National Forest Service in Montana.

QA &

Harlan’s career in education began at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in Pennsylvania, where she taught workshops on watersheds, wetlands and water quality to local middle and high school students. She has also served as a board member for the Children’s Learning Center in Concord, New Hampshire, as codirector for the Blackberry River Retreat for College Counselors, as a Massachusetts state board member for the ACT, and as a guidance counselor and director of college counseling at public and independent boarding and day schools. Prior to joining FVS, Harlan served as the assistant head of school at Groton School in Massachusetts.

Harlan’s husband, Geoff, has also had a long career in education, most recently at Lawrence Academy in Massachusetts. The Harlans are parents to three grown children: Merritt, Jack and Grace; and three Labradors: Biscuit, Moose and Jilleroo.

You’ve worked in public schools, day schools and boarding schools. How do you think that variety has prepared you to become the Fountain Valley head of school?

I think I’ve taken something from every school I’ve been at, and I am so grateful for all of the opportunities I’ve had.

Public school teaches you to handle a great variety of students, and I learned a lot in that situation. A day school is very much a family setting and teaches you to navigate the close proximity of parents. And my favorite by far has been boarding schools.

I love boarding schools because you have the opportunity to educate the whole student. One sees a student in every realm, from the time they wake up in the morning, to watching them attend their classes and activities, to helping them study. You’re simply immersed in their lives, and I find it such a rich and rewarding experience.

I believe that at this time in our world, boarding schools offer an incredible advantage for students to learn how to live and engage with others who are completely different from them. Fountain Valley represents 28 states and 24 countries, so that’s a truly inclusive education where students learn how to debate different ideas and experience cultural differences firsthand.

17
In recognition of her new role as Fountain Valley’s ninth Head of School, Harlan shared her responses to the following nine questions for the Bulletin.
Q1

The Head of School Search Committee cited your well-rounded background outside of education as a strong fit for FVS. What led you to experience so many adventures, and how do

you think that background will influence your work at FVS?

I attribute my adventuresome spirit to my parents. They always encouraged me to try different things, supported me and never told me, “No, you can’t do that.” I think about that a lot in terms of gender—it was never, “Girls do this; boys do that.” It was always, “Follow your passions.”

Being outside has always been a part of my essence. I think that led me to spend a year in Australia and New Zealand working on sheep stations—I’ve always loved the physical aspect of being on the land. I also led trips hiking and canoeing for five summers at an all-girls camp, and that’s how we spent our time with our three kids on our vacations.

I was voted in my high school “most likely to return to teach,” and I think I always knew I’d end up in education. But I wanted to try some other things first.

What attracted you to Fountain Valley School?

I think my outdoor experiences are what drew me to Fountain Valley School. The moment you head down the driveway, you feel like you’re a part of the outdoors, part of an incredible environment. To me, Fountain Valley is combining both things I love— school and nature—into one setting.

Fountain Valley has a wonderful foundation and is also a school that is willing to move and grow. It’s so exciting to come in as head of school into a community that embraces that. Some schools are steeped in tradition and not able to see what they could be. It seems to me that at Fountain Valley, the mindset is, “What can we do with this setting; where can we move in the world of education?” That is incredibly exciting to me.

Q4

What’s your philosophy as head of school? How do you envision working with the various FVS community members?

I would say that my philosophy is grounded in community. First and foremost, I care about people. It’s my job to care for the students, and it’s also my job to care for the faculty and staff. It’s such a privilege to have the opportunity to lead others.

I’ve always loved school. Even when I was a student, I was thinking about school—in fact, I was probably a pain to the people running the school. What I most admired about the faculty at my high school is they allowed me to have a voice as a student; they allowed me to help change the activities program and some of the athletic programs; they allowed me to be involved. So, I think that has guided my philosophy in believing in the student voice. As I became an administrator, that translated into believing in the faculty voice. Without faculty and students, we don’t exist. My job as an administrator is to pave that path, so the faculty can do their best work in teaching and the students can do their best work in learning.

What are your top priorities as head of school this year and in the near future?

This year, it’s to know and understand the School. All schools are unique and have their own dynamics. So, to me, that means exploring the School from the eyes of the trustees, the alumni, the faculty and staff, and the students. It’s probably easy to come in and say, “Oh, we have to change this, this and this,” but understanding the School’s historical perspective is really crucial to my success going forward.

After that, I think it would be wonderful to work for Fountain Valley to have an understanding of what a four-year experience looks like at the School. That would include having all oars, so to speak, pulling together for a ninth-grade program, a 10th-grade program, an 11th-grade program and a 12th-grade program—so that what’s happening in the classroom mirrors what’s happening in the residential setting and in the afternoon activities and experiential education, enabling all of those experiences to build upon each other and truly distinguish a FVS education.

Q2 Q3 Q5 18 Fountain Valley School

What are aspects of Fountain Valley School that you hope don’t change?

I hope this is a school that’s always located on the same acreage and is always a ranch.

I think the land is crucial to who the School is and has always been.

I also hope the faculty-student relationship never changes. When you talk to alumni and they say,“Fountain Valley changed my life,” often what they’re referring to is a faculty member who propelled them forward, so I hope to never lose the importance and power of those relationships.

And I believe in the power of a boarding school. Right now, Fountain Valley is 70 percent boarding; 30 percent day, and I would always want it to remain that way. I really believe that in the polarized world in which we live, boarding schools play a more important role in helping people connect.

Fountain Valley has never had a female head of school. What kind of perspective and experiences do you bring to the job as a woman?

I believe in the power of representation. I think just seeing a woman in a leadership position is wonderful for the young women at the School, and equally as important for the young men.

While raising my three kids, I was not “tapped” along the way to pursue leadership opportunities. As I grew further in administration, I led a workshop for TABS, The Association of Boarding Schools, on women in leadership and found there were very few female heads of coed schools. That motivated me to pursue a head of school position.

In terms of the perspective I bring to the role, I think women often handle situations and conflicts differently. I try to lead with both my heart and head, and always at the center of my decision-making are the students—that is what guides me.

Tell us more about your family. Have any of you lived in the West or Colorado before?

I did spend some time in Montana, although I can’t claim myself as a Westerner. But my daughter, Merritt, lives in Denver. She’s an environmental engineer for the USGS, so it’s wonderful to be closer to her.

In terms of my family, I feel so fortunate to have children who are constantly educating me—for instance, much of my knowledge about the environment and sustainability has come from Merritt.

My son, Jack, is a second-year history teacher and varsity baseball coach at a boarding school in New York, Millbrook School. I’ve been loving the conversations I’ve been having with him about his work, because he speaks to what it’s like to be a new teacher, and I feel that helps me have a better understanding of the young faculty here at Fountain Valley.

My youngest, Grace, is a senior at Middlebury College. She’s a global studies and Arabic major, and she really brings forward a worldly perspective for the family.

My husband, Geoff, is my number one supporter, and I would not be where I am in life without his friendship and love. We’ve been married for 31 years and have both been immersed in the world of education, and I’m grateful to have him as a partner in our FVS adventure.

Finally, what’s something about you that not many people know?

First of all, I come from a very close family. I’m the youngest of four, and I feel so fortunate to have had so much love and support from a family unit. And that’s probably why I like boarding schools, because in many ways it allows me to work in a familial setting.

On a less serious note, I love animals, hiking, Sudoku puzzles, and listening to and reading stories.

RANCHING IN THE WEST: AN ECO-EVOLUTION

FVS students and alumni promote sustainable land stewardship

Palm Beach businessman and polo enthusiast Jack Bradley bought the Lazy B Ranch near Fountain, Colorado. With its 1,600 acres and ample water rights, Bradley thought the Lazy B would be a perfect setting to raise polo ponies and construct a polo field. But Bradley never realized his vision. Instead, he sold the land to a woman with an altogether different vision.

IN1926,

In November 1929, Elizabeth Sage Hare bought the Lazy B Ranch. With its pristine prairie and magnificent views of Pikes Peak and the Front Range, Hare believed the Lazy B was the perfect setting for the Western boarding school she wanted to create.

The Lazy B Ranch became the Fountain Valley School campus, but it didn’t lose its identity as a working ranch. And along the way, the Fountain Valley land became a beacon of progressive ranching just as much as the school it houses became a beacon for progressive education.

But Fountain Valley School’s ranch is not the only example of state-of-the-art environmental land stewardship in the neighborhood. In fact, as Faith Young ’19 discovered, it’s part of a hub of ranches in the Colorado Springs area that practice sustainable animal husbandry, agriculture and soil management. And the influence of these ranches has helped spur holistic land and resource practices throughout Colorado and beyond.

A Ranch With a View

Young has had a connection to the Fountain Valley School ranchland for years. As a child, she would often look out the front door of her home and see horses grazing on the FVS Prairie. She started riding in middle school, and soon met Ann Hanna, FVS riding program director and English riding head coach.

“Ms. Hanna took me on as a pseudo ‘faculty kid,’ and she let me ride there as much as I could until I came to the school,” Young remembers.

Young excelled in riding all four of her years at FVS. As a member of the English riding team, she participated in the Colorado Hunter Jumper Association medal finals her freshman, sophomore and senior years. She also deepened her relationship with Ann Hanna. “She became like a second mom to me,” Young says.

So when it was time to work on a project for her interdisciplinary (English and history) American studies class, Young naturally gravitated to an investigation of the nearby ranch Hanna’s family owns. Along with her teacher, Jake Emery ’71, Young was assisted by Leah Davis Witherow, curator of history for the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.

After Young graduated from FVS, she decided to major in museum studies and gallery practice at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Witherow was one of Young’s professors, and in the spring of 2022, she asked Young to help complete the research for the Hanna Ranch Project as part of “The Story of Us: The Pikes Peak Region from A–Z” exhibit at the Pioneers Museum.

While conducting her Hanna Ranch research, Young learned about the area’s sustainable ranching history and the role of Fountain Valley School in that history. Her article for the project is available on the museum website at cspm.org.

“The general theme of the Hanna Ranch Project is bringing awareness to prolific ranches in the Fountain region that helped other ranches in Colorado advance their agricultural practices,” Young says.

The Rise of the Eco-Cowboy

Like Young, the Hanna family has a longstanding connection to Fountain Valley School. Ann Hanna’s late husband, Kirk Hanna, was a member of the FVS class of 1973. Kirk’s stepfather, Jon Frost, served on the FVS Board of Trustees from 1978-87. Jon’s son, Jay ’78, and grandchildren, Carmen ’05 and Sam ’12, all attended FVS. And Ann and Kirk’s children, Maggie ’07 and Emy ’09, are FVS alumni.

The Hanna Ranch and Frost Ranch (now known as Frost Livestock) are adjoining and located roughly 10 miles southeast of Fountain Valley School. According to Young, both ranches practice the holistic ranch management (HRM) technique that Kirk Hanna pioneered in the Colorado Springs area. Kirk learned about HRM in the 1980s from a professor at Texas Christian University, Young says. HRM relies on sustainable practices that are designed to build and maintain healthy soil and grasslands, including rotational grazing for cattle and using their manure as a fertilizer. The goal is a holistic approach to land management, in which ranching can actually improve the prairie rather than deplete it.

Not surprisingly, Kirk’s vision was initially met with skepticism—not only by nearby old-school ranchers, but also by some environmentalists who wanted the state’s prairies to remain untouched by grazing cattle. He was dubbed the “Eco-Cowboy”—and not always in a positive way.

But Kirk’s ranching techniques slowly caught on. In the early 1990s, he was named president of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association and was able to educate ranchers throughout the state about HRM and their duty to help preserve Colorado’s prairie lands.

“Kirk had an amazing ability to change people’s minds,” Young said. He was so influential, in fact, that he was the subject of a 2013 documentary, “Hanna Ranch,” produced by “Fast Food Nation” author Eric Schlosser.

FVS Embraces Sustainable Land Stewardship

While Hanna Ranch was evolving, so was the Fountain Valley ranchland. For much of its first 50 years, the School raised cattle and other livestock on some of the Prairie land. But in the early ’80s, Board of Trustees members became concerned about the financial impact of cattle management. They decided to sell the School’s cows and lease grazing rights to other ranchers. Although cattle still roamed the prairie, FVS was no longer in the ranching business.

Eventually, FVS stopped leasing cattle grazing rights and concentrated on grazing the horses used for the School riding program. Today, parts of the 1,000 acres of prairie that surround the 100-acre campus are home to around 65 to 75 horses.

Beginning in 2007, Kirk Hanna’s HRM concepts took root at FVS, spurred by Headmaster Craig Larimer, long-time School supporter Bob Parker and FVS Land and Ranch Manager Dave Overlin. When Will Webb became head of school in 2013, HRM practices blossomed, encompassing both animal and agricultural sustainability techniques.

For instance, FVS has a specific plan to move horses around the land not only to promote eco-friendly grazing, but also soil carbon sequestration. The School grows its own

hay to feed the horses during the winter, embracing sustainable agriculture practices such as composting, rotating the fields where the hay is planted and using cover crops to restore the soil on fallow fields.

FVS has also called in land-management experts for consultations, including Paul Chapman, author of “Greening America’s Schools: The Environmental Sustainability Movement in K-12 Education,” and Annie Overlin, Dave Overlin’s daughter, a 1992 FVS graduate, a sixth-generation Colorado rancher and a range management specialist for the Colorado State University Extension program.

Overlin recently spent a day walking the FVS prairie, evaluating the soil nutrients, hay cultivation practices, and other factors involved in keeping the land healthy and sustainable into the future. Her findings were presented at the September Board of Trustees meeting.

“Moving forward, Fountain Valley
School is completely committed to life on the ranch, and will continue to incorporate the land into our curriculum, our activities and our future goals,” says Head of School
Valley School22
Megan Harlan.
Fountain

The Prairie of the Future

FVS’ current land and ranch manager, Tyson Phillips, says as climate change creates drought and stress on the FVS Prairie, sustainable, holistic land management will become even more important. He’s heartened that the spokes of the HRM hub created by FVS, the Hanna Ranch and other local ranches have spread far beyond the Colorado Springs area.

“It’s quite remarkable how so many ranches and farms have shifted to incredibly scientific and artistic land management that mimics the way the land was used for thousands of years,” he says.

Like their predecessors, many current Fountain Valley students are keen to be involved in environmental sustainability practices—both on the FVS Prairie and beyond, says science teacher Danielle Llewelyn

“They’re learning how to have a critical eye and an ability to understand sustainability

with scientific literacy, making them capable of understanding the bigger picture,” she says. “No matter where they find themselves in the future, they’ll have a sense of their impact and how their career or industry can make a difference in sustainability.”

During the 2022-23 school year, Llewelyn’s sustainable science and Colorado natural history classes are working on signage for a new Interpretive Nature Trail on the campus back prairie. The three-mile nature walk is the brainchild of FVS Mathematics Department Chair Blake Pelton and former faculty member Lee Derr. The goal is to encourage the entire FVS community to explore the prairie ecosystem.

Pelton and Derr identified about a dozen locations of interest on an existing trail on the prairie just east of the campus, including milkweed fields for monarch butterfly migration, edible wild plants like asparagus and currants, migratory bird fields, a raptor’s

nest that often houses bald eagles, and habitats for wild animals such as turkeys, porcupines, raccoons, pronghorns, deer and coyotes. The trail also winds through wetlands, irrigated pasture and native prairie, and the campus water intake area from the reservoir.

Llewelyn’s students will do the research for signs at each location of interest, explaining everything from the importance of Western U.S. water rights to the impact of invasive species on native plants.

“I’m so excited to get my students out there, both as a way for them to interact with the prairie themselves and also as a way for them to learn about their home (and their home away from home) and then share their knowledge in a very relevant and longlasting way,” Llewelyn says. “Beyond a simple presentation in a class, this project will have a timeless impact on our community.”

DIGESTARCHITECTURAL

Together, Fountain Valley School’s buildings create a nearly centuryold architectural chronicle. In the following pages, two FVS alumni, Reilly Kaczmarek ’21 and Francis Zhou ’22, capture the campus’ distinctive style through their unique lens.

Fountain Valley School’s iconic architecture dates back to Casa Serena, which was built in the 1920s as a ranch house and is known today as the Hacienda. The architect, Addison Mizner, was famous for his Palm Beach style influenced by traditional Spanish architecture, which he modified for the ranch’s Southwestern location.

The Hacienda was built with lavish materials, including boxed-beam cypress wood ceilings, iron balconies, fine plasterwork with animal motifs, and tiles from Mexico and Spain. The Hacienda established Fountain Valley’s Spanish adobe style, but the Southwestern and pueblo influences in subsequent buildings are the vision of the campus’ first architect, John Gaw Meem.

Meem specialized in pastel colors designed to balance the sunshine and shadows of Southwestern light. He used rounded corners on building exteriors to simulate traditional adobe architecture, and his interiors included adobe corner fireplaces, tin light fixtures and carved wooden doors.

While Meem only designed four FVS buildings—Sage Hall (initially known as First House), Boies Penrose Hall, the Dwight Perry House and the F. Martin Brown apartment complex (affectionately called The Pink Jail)— his philosophy dominated campus architecture from the 1930s onward.

RK RKFZ FZ
RKRK RK RK RK FZ RK 26

Carlisle Guy, who designed many of the FVS buildings constructed in the 1950s and ’60s, including the old gym (now the Penrose Sports Center), the chapel, Hawley Library and Chase Stone Infirmary, studied under Meem. And Johnson, Nestor, Mortier and Rodriguez, the Santa Fe firm that designed The Frautschi Campus Center, has an architectural aesthetic rooted in Meem’s work.

The Frautschi Center includes traditional Southwestern features like brick floors, viga and latilla ceilings, and adobe fireplaces, but also incorporates the late 20th century “salsa” architecture movement that featured bright colors like fuchsia, turquoise and purple. And because the architects are influenced by Southwestern church design, the Frautschi Center’s entrance is reminiscent of the naves in pueblo-style churches like New Mexico’s Rancho de Taos.

Subsequent buildings have remained true to Fountain Valley’s unique architectural style, creating a campus as distinctive as the Colorado prairie that surrounds it.

With their spectacular natural vistas and photogenic backdrops, Fountain Valley School’s main and mountain campuses are popular venues to exchange vows. Over the years, dozens of alumni, faculty and staff brides and grooms have said “I do” on the Prairie or the peaks. Here’s a glimpse into some of their wedding albums.

Fountain Valley School28

PJ loved his time at FVS, and had introduced me to campus at several alumni events over the years. Fountain Valley offered a beautifully curated space that felt homey and welcoming. We are not particularly religious, so the chapel was just formal enough for the ceremony, which we had officiated by a friend. PJ and I were busy staring at each other, but we were told that the horses galloped across the prairie while we took our vows and really wowed the audience.

We had planned a beautiful courtyard reception, but on the day of the wedding there was a torrential downpour that lasted for hours. I refused to commit to the last-minute tent we had put up, and ended up having most of our guests carry the tables over the short wall and around the Hacienda to move under cover. I tell myself that rain is good luck, and the manual labor was a great icebreaker for our friends and family.

Several of PJ’s friends from Fountain Valley attended, including his best man, Ryan Stevens ’96. Now we have two small kiddos (Clemmy, 9, and Peia, 6) and we continue to return to campus for alumni weekend and horseback riding camp. I love that we all now have a connection to campus.

We loved having our wedding at FVS because we were reminded what an incredible place this is with each friend and family member who said “wow” when they set foot on campus for the first time. Many of our guests stayed in the dorms, and it felt like we all got to experience FVS as students might.

The Hacienda courtyard was a magical setting for our ceremony and for dancing afterward. The Penrose Placita also served as the perfect beer garden to welcome our friends and family the night before the big event. We also really appreciated how much the FVS community helped us in setting up for the events and accommodating all of our guests.

Baccalaureate ’22

Family, Friends and Faculty Celebrate the Class of ’22

The first day Fountain Valley theatre arts teacher Hollie Marine met her students, she oversaw a team-building activity in which freshmen molded bubblegum into a sculpture that represented their core values.

“I share this story in hopes that you see yourselves today the way I see you,” said Marine, who was chosen by the class of ’22 to give the faculty address during this year’s Baccalaureate ceremony. “Each one of you walks around this place as a brilliant, fully realized bubblegum sculpture, molded with love, hard work and a little saliva from those who’ve invested in you.”

Marine’s speech was the culmination of the 2022 Baccalaureate activities, which included a week-long Senior Seminar at the

Class of ’69 Mountain Campus followed by the traditional Candlelight Ceremony.

Teamwork and community is vital, Marine told the graduating seniors. “You’re sitting here today because someone changed thousands of your diapers. Someone loved you enough to put in 18 years of tireless work on your moral compass.

People under this tent made your meals, went to your games, cheered for you, taught you every tiny detail of how to take care of yourself down to how to tie your shoes, believed in you and loved you enough to even have the conversations you didn’t want to have,” she said.

“You may not have enjoyed every piece of gum that was stuck on you, but it’s made you who you are.”

Now that the class of ’22 is going out into the world, their task is to share their bubblegum with their new community, Marine concluded.

“Each time you meet a new friend or new mentor next year, ask yourself, ‘Do I want their gum on me?’”
she said. “I hope you build a community of people that are going to challenge you and inspire you, and create a little nest of people who have your back.”

The Breene Baggett Award is presented each year in memory of Breene Baggett ’76, who found the FVS theater to be a special place of fulfillment. Breene’s father, Bryce Baggett, created the award “to be given to a student who, during their school career, made the greatest achievement or improvement in the dramatic arts.” This year’s award goes to Lyndee Pinkerton. Lyndee cares deeply about each student in the cast and crew, and has gone to great lengths to improve their experience. She sees each performance as a gift to the community, and works tirelessly to make sure every play is a wonderful experience for all audience members.

The Rumbough Award is given in memory of David Rumbough ’68 to the student who has demonstrated excellence not only as a performer, but also for behind-the-scenes work that helps make the arts an important part of the lives of the FVS community.

Commencement ’22

Class of ’22 Closes a Chapter

“We’ve lived through events that are going to show up on future AP World History tests,” but that only made the class of ’22 more resilient and unified, Sanchez said. “When times were tough, we found refuge on the Prairie and we looked to each other for support. Sure, things were crazy, but it takes a little ‘crazy’ to be us.”

COMMENCEMENT 2022 Fountain Valley School40

During their Senior Address at the 92nd Commencement Exercises, Mia Sanchez and Mason Burdett summed up their four years at Fountain Valley School in one word: “unpredictable.”

“We have attended Fountain Valley from classrooms on campus, quarantine hotels, our own bedroom and even a makeshift COVID ward in the old gym,” said Sanchez, who, along with Burdett, were chosen by the senior class to address their fellow graduates.

“We’ve lived through events that are going to show up on future AP World History tests,” but that only made the class of ’22 more resilient and unified, Sanchez said. “When times were tough, we found refuge on the Prairie and we looked to each other for support. Sure, things were crazy, but it takes a little ‘crazy’ to be us.”

The lessons the senior class learned reach far beyond the classroom, Burdett pointed out.

“We’ve learned that nothing is guaranteed, so each moment deserves to be treasured,” he said. “We’ve learned that the challenges we have faced at Fountain Valley won’t be the last we encounter, but we know that we are prepared to face whatever comes our way.”

As the class of ’22 disperses across the nation and around the world, designing their own visions for their futures, Sanchez and Burdett sent them off with the following sentiment:

“Together, we managed the impossible, and we think we turned out pretty great, all things considered. Remember to stay chill, and thank you for all of the memories.”

Boys Soccer had an overall record of 13-5 and qualified for the CHSAA Class 2A State Championship playoffs.

FALL ’21/WINTER & SPRING ’22

In Girls Soccer, a very young team won the league and made it to the second round of the CHSAA Class 2A playoffs, losing a hardfought game to Crested Butte 1-0.

Great Wins for the Great Danes

In the 2021-22 school year, Fountain Valley School was able to return to a more normal schedule, which also meant the return of traditional campus events. FVS was able to host and compete in Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) and Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) sports, including climbing, swimming and diving, riding, soccer, volleyball, basketball, tennis, mountain biking and skiing. By most every measure, the 2021-22 FVS athletic seasons were tremendously successful.

In Girls Swimming and Diving, Sofia BedoyaCorrea ’25 qualified for the CHSAA Class 3A State Championship in two events: the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard fly. Her teammate, Lily Cornett ’23, broke the School record for a six-dive competition and then went on to win the league championship and place sixth in the state.

CELEBRATING THE OF INTERIM EXPEDITIONS!

This year marks Fountain Valley School’s 50th Interim. That’s 50 years of experiential learning: students and faculty venturing together into the Rocky Mountain wilderness, the hidden canyons of Utah and the art districts of New Mexico; setting sail on the Pacific and Caribbean seas, eating their way across the deep South while visiting locations significant to the civil rights movement, and immersing themselves nationally and globally into historical sites given new context by thoughtful curriculums designed by teachers who have taken the time to ask questions and investigate their answers in innovative ways.

Interim, from its inception, was always intended to embody much more than a simple vacation or travel experience—and to this day, Interims often incorporate community service and center around applied education and relationship-

building. The Interim experience was created as an immersive educational opportunity in which students develop new skills, gain a new perspective and cultivate social relationships— sometimes across continents or even oceans— in ways that simply aren’t available in a traditional classroom setting.

The concept of the FVS Interim Program was based on a similar, experimental program hosted by the Colorado Springs School. In fact, Fountain Valley’s first Interim Week in 1973 was hosted in partnership with CSS at a time when both schools shared some coeducational programming. Interim classes were hosted on both campuses, intermingling students from both schools.

While modern Interim trips nearly always involve off-campus travel, the initial program offered a number of on-campus options that today

might be thought of as elective classes, such as driver’s education, baking, woodshop and calligraphy. Larger trips involving statewide, national and international travel were offered as well, but were less prevalent.

To this day, Interim is a defining feature of the FVS curriculum and one of the programs that is most anticipated by students and faculty alike. Interim trips give faculty the opportunity to apply their lessons in real-world circumstances, often offering a definitive answer to the age-old question echoed by generations of students: “When will I even use this?”

Although the Interim program began as progressive and experimental, it has become an essential and cherished element of an FVS education— and a cornerstone of the FVS experience.

JONATHAN ORMES ’57

“I want to call your attention to the memoir my classmate, Clint Cross ’57, recently published. He describes his family’s origins in Texas, and then goes on to talk about his legal career helping those less fortunate. He got some laws changed and procedures developed to make life easier for those on the bottom. It’s worth a read. The title is “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Justice: A Memoir.”

Earlier this year, I also published a memoir of growing up at FVS during World War II. I began attending FVS in 1951 and graduated in the class of ’57. My memoir, titled “Jonny’s Journey”, follows me to college at Stanford and graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I also document my years as a scientist working for NASA during the cold war with Russia—I spent a few years as a manager of science programs at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Upon retirement, my wife, Jan, and I enjoyed extensive travel, some of which is described in the book.

One reviewer wrote: ‘…I found his work refreshing in its transparency, folksy conversational style, and a fascinating summary of what it was like working in the trenches at the forefront of cosmic ray research. The reader discovers that doing science in a federal agency often involves the shifting winds of politics and an ever-present competition for funding.’

You can find the book on Amazon (add my last name to your search). It will cost you less than a ‘Jackson.’ It all started at FVS, and I am eternally grateful for the education and friendships I carry from those years. Thank you, FVS, and the wonderful teachers I had there. You are in my soul.”

“Our family moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida in late 2019. The onset of COVID a few months later meant we spent more time than anticipated there.

We congregate on major holidays.”

FREDERIC “TIM” SCHAEFER ’63

“Regarding the FVS request for veteran service info, I was in the Navy from 1967-69 as a journalist stationed in Yokosuka, Japan. My duty took me all over Japan, aboard aircraft carriers to sailboats. I sailed competitively in Tokyo Bay and cruised the coast of Japan.

I am now retired and live on the New England coast in the small town of Padanaram. My daughter is a nurse in Denver and is expecting her first child in November.”

“A couple of years ago, I retired from Konica Minolta. Retirement was complicated by the lockdowns and restrictions over the last couple of years. Since then, I’ve been doing a lot of exercising, work on the property and studying—right now the history of philosophy in the Western and Middle Eastern worlds. I am anticipating that opportunities will present themselves in the future, and I am anxious to see where the paths lead.

I lost both my parents in 2018, but I had them for many years, and one thing I want to do is document their lives as a part of general genealogical research into our family. I am enjoying myself, but I would love to hear from classmates.”

Martial arts and computers continue to motivate my 14-year-old son, Sam. Flor’s parents live with us, so I often practice my Spanish; they love jardinería in our backyard.

CLIFFORD L. “SKIP” LINDEMAN

“I directed the Glee Club and taught Old and New Testament to 6th formers (seniors) at FVS from 1964-66. My first job out of college (Wabash, in Indiana) was at FVS, and it was a great experience for me.

As of my 80th birthday last April, I am still in the ministry, preaching at the Upland Christian Church in Upland, California. My wife, Harlane, is a psychotherapist and still ‘sees’ patients over the phone. We are both in excellent health and travel via Amtrak whenever we can.

“During a recent remote-work vacation in Santa Fe, New Mexico, my partner, Jim Campbell, and I had the great pleasure of catching up with Peter Thorp, who is as sharp, well-informed and well-traveled as always. Most recently, he’s been helping get a coed boarding school up and running in Ethiopia, which hopes to educate future leaders in the country.”

I really wish I could have made it to our 15-year reunion, but the salmon were running and I was busy trying to fill my freezer with fish! I hope you are all doing well, had a great time and said hello to Dave Reynolds, Rob Gustke, Dr. Gilbert, Rafael Muciño and Jennifer Buckley if you saw them (as well as any other faculty you ran into). I think about Fountain Valley often and hope to make it back to say hello soon!”

We have attended reunions at the School in the past and we plan to again. (Amtrak goes through New Mexico and Southern Colorado via its ‘Southwest Chief’ on the way from Los Angeles to Chicago. In the past we have gotten off in New Mexico and rented a car for the rest of the trip to FVS.)

Best to all. I’ll close with a corny joke, or a ‘Dad’ joke, I guess: What did the buffalo say when he dropped off his kid at day care? Answer: Bye, son (Bison).”

R eunion Weekend

Alumni celebrate together once again

For the first time in three years, Fountain Valley School reveled in a live and in-person Reunion Weekend in June. Events included a reception for outgoing Head of School Will Webb, a 50th anniversary reception for the class of ’7072, a memorial program, and the annual alumni dinner and awards ceremony.

Friends of Fountain Valley who gathered to dine, dance and honor their community also raised a glass to a return to normalcy for students, faculty and staff during the 202122 school year. Careful management of COVID outbreaks meant the campus was quarantine-free for the first time in two years. And that meant traditional campus events were back in full swing.

This year, FVS was able to bring back Rally Points, Stupid Night Out, Lunar New Year, Club Frautschi, Ski Weekend, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month Celebrations, Unity Day and Earth Day. Out-of-state Interim trips returned, along with Global Scholar diploma and Capstone presentations and the Spring Formal. And as the school year drew to a close, we celebrated our seniors with Senior Skip Day at Six Flags Elitch Gardens in Denver and Senior Seminar at the Mountain Campus.

The School also hosted art shows in the fall and spring, a First Friday event at Cultivate Studios in Colorado Springs for senior advanced fine art portfolio students, and three seasons of plays: the Fall Comedy (The 39 Steps), the Winter Musical (Urinetown) and the Spring Comedy (Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind). Plus, our musicians and choristers treated us to a wonderful concert to close out the year.

Congratulations to all students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends and family of Fountain Valley for a highly successful 2021-22 school year!

He’s a Class Agent, an active member of the Casa Serena Society and the 2014 recipient of the Elizabeth Froelicher Smith Distinguished Service Award. Greg served on the FVS Finance Committee and was a Board of Trustees member from 2006-14, vice president of the Board from 2009-10 and Board president from 2010-14. He joined the Board again in 2018, and headed the Fountain Valley Head of School Search Committee in 2021-22. Greg’s tireless work and leadership made all the difference as we sought the perfect fit to take up the mantle of the next head of our great School.

The Elizabeth Froelicher Smith Distinguished Service Award is presented for exceptionally meritorious service to Fountain Valley School. This year’s honorees are two long-standing and deeply loved Fountain Valley educators who are both retiring: Rob Gilbert and Rob Gustke.

Rob Gilbert arrived at FVS in 1993 as the principal AP U.S. history teacher. Over the last decade, he’s advanced up the AP hierarchical ranks as a reader, table leader and one of the critical decision-makers in determining whether an AP test answer is adequate. During his tenure at FVS, Rob has also taught several senior electives, including American environmentalism. He’s been heavily involved in the Outdoor Education program, and helped develop and transform the FVS climbing program. The climbing team has won the State Finals on multiple occasions, including this past spring. Rob was also the co-director of Interim before FVS had a computer program to sort students into trip groups, and would masterfully handle every student’s request by hand. But among Rob’s myriad accomplishments, the most impressive has to be his winning streak at

the annual Stupid Night Out Spam-eating contest, which continued for several years.

Rob Gustke began his tenure at FVS in 1990 as a member of the Science Department. His bread-and-butter non-elective class has always been biology, but because Rob is extremely creative, he’s developed some signature senior electives that are deeply loved—in particular, his Colorado natural history class, in which he takes students into the plains to identify and collect bugs for their infamous bug box projects. A passionate butterfly enthusiast, Rob also spearheaded the construction of the butterfly garden outside his classroom. Rob came to FVS with major-league mountaineering experience, including nearly reaching the summit of Mt. Everest multiple times, so it’s no surprise that he quickly became the director of the Outdoor Ed program, working closely with Rob Gilbert. Rob was also the designer and implementer of the Western Immersion Program, and serves as a coach for the FVS swimming programs.
