SPARK Magazine // Fall 2022

s I began my interim responsibilities at Collegiate this summer, I knew I was coming to a school whose faculty and staff commit every day and in powerful and profound ways to their students, to their profession and to their school. That belief has been confirmed time and time again in my first months here — especially as I have spoken to students. In many of these conversations, I typically ask: “What has been most important — most positive — in your experiences at Collegiate?” Almost all of the students with whom I have spoken respond by saying that it is the passion, expertise and care of our faculty and staff that have meant the most to them. The admiration, affection and appreciation our students have for my colleagues is real, deep and palpable.

As I have gotten to know more and more of my new colleagues, I can readily see why our students feel the way they do about their teachers, coaches, advisors and mentors. These true professionals are steadfastly devoted to the young people in their charge and are determinedly and constantly committed to helping their students learn, grow and become their best selves. Our faculty and staff are striving always to strengthen their own skills and to help Collegiate live ever more fully into our noble mission of nurturing ever curious, ever seeking minds and ever serving, ever caring hearts.

Essential to the sustained strength of our educational programs and sense of community is continuing to have an outstanding and dedicated faculty and staff whom our students will be privileged to learn from every day. As we build out, act on and fund our Strategic Plan, we must resolutely be a school that continues to encourage, celebrate and honor the truly transforming work our faculty do in service to our mission and in support of our students.

In so many ways, this issue of Spark concerns those special moments of passion and affection from these same faculty, staff and students that happen every day at Collegiate. In this issue, we celebrate the moments of joy and growth shared between our Seniors and their Kindergarten buddies; we highlight the dedication and grace our students exude in athletics and the arts; we recognize the longevity of our terrific Summer Quest program; and, in the Report on Philanthropy, we celebrate the myriad ways the Collegiate community supports our School.

It has been my distinct pleasure to join your Collegiate community. As the year progresses, I look forward to continuing that Cougar spirit I’ve come to know so well.

Sincerely,

Billy Peebles Interim Head of School

Meaningful Partnerships

During the Cochrane Summer Economic Institute, rising Seniors in the Richmond area come to Collegiate to grow as inquisitive thinkers and future business professionals.

Mia Jackson ’17 is speaking over Zoom from her apartment in London to a group of rising Seniors gathered in Collegiate School’s Sharp Academic Commons. They’re talking about geographical data and urban studies, and how ArcGIS, a data visualization program, can be used to tell the intricate story of a community. The students — 17 in all, from seven area high schools — are engaged, asking Jackson questions with an enthusiasm that rises only from the energy of making discoveries.

Their collaboration is part of the Cochrane Summer Economic Institute (CSEI), a monthlong program for rising high school Seniors in the Richmond area that elevates students’ understanding of economics by enabling them to collaborate directly

This is, at its core, the foundational goal of CSEI: to nurture students’ passions with the guidance of experienced professionals.

Beginning in early July, the participating students came to Collegiate to take part in the program, which is administered by the School’s Powell Institute for Responsible Citizenship. Enthusiasm abounds as students begin making connections between what they have learned in the classroom to the larger professional world. “We’re making discoveries that go beyond what we sometimes get from classroom lectures,” says Miranda Lutchman, who attends The Center for Leadership, Government and Global Economics at Douglas S. Freeman High School. “Everything we’re learning here is preparing us for the future.”

At the start of the program, students are grouped in teams and assigned a company partner. The CSEI 2022 partners — Henrico County Entertainment & Sports Authority, Richmond Flying Squirrels and the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU — mentor the students, giving teams a unique look into the professional world. “Collegiate’s CSEI program challenges students to ask and answer real-world questions,” says David Lanning P ’24 ’26, co-surgeon-in-chief at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU and a partner for this year’s program. “I was impressed with the students’ effort, energy and creativity in their work towards finding solutions to these problems. It was a very rewarding experience for the students as well as the partnering organizational leaders that participated.”

The students’ challenge: after learning the intricacies of their selected company, discover new ways their partner companies can contribute to a thriving city while delivering on the partner’s mission, vision and values.

“I’m really appreciative of the resources that Collegiate has provided, particularly with regard to the company partners we got to work with,” says Carson Wang, a student at Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School whose group worked with the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU. “Having Collegiate give us all these professional connections has been really helpful. Because we got to work downtown where the Children’s Hospital is, and because of our research — whether that was online research or interviews with employees — we developed a deeper understanding of how a hospital operates. CSEI has changed my way of thinking.”

Through research that involves community interviews and workplace observation, students propose ideas that could contribute to alleviating

challenges faced by their company partners. For example, the group that collaborated with the Richmond Flying Squirrels conducted interviews with Richmond residents to learn about what they felt were the priorities the Flying Squirrels should pursue. “My favorite part of the program has been walking around the city and interviewing more than 60 people about the Richmond experience and the Flying Squirrels,” says Graham Bor ’23, a Collegiate student.

“It was a really good experience to hear firsthand from people about what they valued in our partner company. I think it definitely put us back in touch with the community.”

The work the students complete during the CSEI program often has a direct effect on the community. Students working with the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU identified that, since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals that have incorporated telemedicine into their practice have had more success providing care and support to their patients. Following this discovery, the students created an ArcGIS StoryMap that helped visualize where CHoR telemedicine services, based on access to public school services and broadband access, could have potential immediate and high positive impact. The students’ StoryMap helped inform a due diligence process and the ultimate adoption of CHoR telehealth services by the Parent Child Development Corporation (PCDC), which provides a variety of educational and family support services to children and families in rural counties around Richmond.

During the course of the program, students work with a mentor from their partner company, a connection that gives them the chance to establish themselves in a business setting. Students also collaborate with and learn from guest speakers such as Jackson — all of whom add unique perspectives to the possibilities of the professional world. “Listening to the guest speakers has really taught me a lot,” says Collegiate student Anne Pearson Gremer ’23. “They have really helped me strengthen important skills like public speaking and ArcGIS use.”

CSEI also gives students the opportunity to meet peers from different communities, allowing them to foster valuable connections. Aaleya Fowler ’23, a Collegiate student, says that working with peers who bring such passion to group projects encouraged her to discover new methods of collaboration. “Working with everyone here has definitely taught me different ways of how to be a leader,” Aaleya explains. “This group work has been invaluable, and working with them has given me the chance to meet more people in the community.”

At the conclusion of this year’s program, the three groups presented their research to a large audience of family, friends and the community partners, with each presentation illustrating their findings with the help of ArcGIS technology. The culminating presentations demonstrated the advancements the young professionals made over the summer. They expanded their passions and broadened their future possibilities. “I’ve really enjoyed my experience here,” says Zamiyah Burton, a student from Steward School. “It has been great working with a diverse group of people from different schools and different backgrounds and then all coming together to achieve a common goal. CSEI has definitely improved my way of thinking, and I’m really excited for what the future holds.”

LEADING WITH PURPOSE

Funded by endowment support, Stan Craig ’23 attended a research internship that helps students with speech therapy.

There are, for each of us, challenging mountains we need to climb. True leaders, ascending the mountains set before them, will help guide others facing similar obstacles. With sustained devotion to serving others, Stan Craig ’23 is one of those benevolent leaders.

As a 6th Grader, Stan, grappling with a speech impediment, attended an intense two-week speech therapy program at the Hollins Communications Research Institute (HCRI). Deconstructing the practice of speaking syllable by syllable and breath by breath, the program at HCRI gave Stan the lessons and the confidence he needed to help transform him into the strong speaker he is today.

As Stan grew up, he continued to succeed at Collegiate School as he progressed through each division. He is a student that pursues excellence with enthusiasm and conviction, and he maintained the speech practices he learned during his time at HCRI. But he understood that there were other people that could benefit from those same practices. Like all great trailblazers, Stan began thinking about how he could help others facing challenges similar to his own.

In the spring of 2021, Stan began a GoFundMe campaign that raised $10,000 for the HCRI, which helped award scholarships to attendees at HCRI’s stuttering treatment center. “I wanted to do anything that would help other people at the program,” Stan says. “Giving other people who really need it those same opportunities — and making the program itself more accessible to others — was really important to me.”

Then, as Stan embarked on his final summer before his Senior year at Collegiate, the School granted him a portion of the William “Bill” Reeves Renaissance Student Award, which he used to attend a research internship at HCRI. The endowment grant gave Stan the opportunity to continue his work with HCRI, where he connected with participants at the speech therapy center and explored in detail the methods of — and science behind — client therapy speech training.

“What I did over the summer was work with the speech technicians to help quantitatively categorize a participant’s speech with certain therapy programs,” Stan explains, “which means we would take samples of a participant’s speech and then discuss what therapy methods would be most effective. It was impactful in a new way for me because I learned more about the quantitative measures of speech and voice onsets.”

Each summer, as part of Collegiate’s commitment to promoting a challenging and supportive educational experience, the School awards grants to Upper School students who complete a rigorous application process. The endowments allow students to explore meaningful areas of study in their chosen subjects of interest. This past summer, 14 Upper School students pursued enrichment experiences, ranging from programs such as Stan’s to intensive college preparatory courses, funded by endowment support. “I’m so grateful for the grant I received from the School’s endowment,” Stan says. “That Collegiate has opportunities like this is really great, because they allow people to explore things they’re passionate about that they might not be able to do without it.”

Stan’s support of others, as always, endures. After his research internship over the summer, Stan began working with a student who recently attended HCRI’s speech therapy program. Each week, Stan takes what he learned through the support of the Reeves Renaissance Student Award endowment and works with a Richmond-area student on speaking skills. They practice breath control and syllabic progressions, and Stan helps the student with his confidence.

“With these new speech strategies, I’ve been working with this student to help him with his speech and just generally help him with school,” Stan says. “Having a stutter has nothing to do with intelligence or personality, and having conversations with students like him helps pave a path forward for people. To be there for someone, to help them become more comfortable with who they are — I’m really grateful I’ve been given the opportunity to do that.”

Endowments play a vital role in allowing students to explore their passions and interests, which better prepares them for future success. The following are the students who participated in this summer’s engaging endowment programs.

In the morning sun, Collegiate’s North Mooreland Road campus resplendent with a late-August glow, students stepped towards the new school year with broad smiles. Each academic year begins with this jubilant freshness. It is a day of new beginnings, a chance to begin paving the way for more educational experiences, discoveries and connections.

Near the Lower School, varsity football players donned their jerseys and greeted their younger peers as the latter arrived on campus. The students gathering outside of Luck Hall, some beginning their Senior year and others beginning Kindergarten, shared a moment of camaraderie and excitement as the football players guided the students into the Lower School. “It’s really meaningful when a younger student looks up to you,” one student-athlete remarked. “And to begin the year with that small connection is special.”

Head of Middle School Tung Trinh waved to families as they pulled through the carpool arrival by Jacobs Gym. Behind Mr. Trinh, some students cruised down the sidewalk on bikes while others ran to embrace friends they hadn’t seen since the gradebooks closed at the conclusion of the 2021-22 school year. Still other students, eager to begin the year, only remembered to wave goodbye to their parents after racing towards Flippen Hall.

I love the first day of school at Collegiate,” one parent said as their student made their way to the first class of the year. “You really feel the energy and support that goes into the school year.”

Towards Seal Academic Commons, Upper Schoolers provided a special welcome to their fellow Cougars: students cheered and tossed green-and-gold necklaces as their peers arrived on campus. Music blared, cheers filled the campus and glee was abundant.

Then serenity descended, and everyone diligently settled into their classrooms for their first day. These are the joys that we begin the year with, and these enthusiasms, which are experienced in some form by our entire Collegiate community, persist throughout the year.

LIFELONG BUDDIES

Continuing one of Collegiate School’s sweetest traditions, Seniors of the Class of 2023 connected with their Kindergarten buddies for the first time in September, beginning an enduring relationship.

The two classes will spend time together throughout the year playing games, swapping stories and learning from each other. The connection between Seniors and their Kindergarten buddies is formative; the Seniors are given a mentorship role and the Kindergarteners engage with students that they can look up to as role models.

COLLEGIATE HOLDS HALLOWEEN PARADE

In an annual tradition, Collegiate JK1st Grade students showed off their best costumes the morning of Halloween as they paraded around campus. Some of our Cougars dressed funny, some dressed spooky, but all costumes were downright adorable.

A TRANSCENDENT EXPERIENCE

By: Weldon Bradshaw

What can you learn in just a week?

Plenty, as Collegiate Senior Marshall Ryan discovered this past July when he accompanied a team from Extra Mile Pediatrics to Guatemala to provide medical care to children and support for their families in the towns of El Paredon, El Naranjo and Sipacate.

The lessons he gleaned from his intense, on-the-job training were powerful, meaningful and inspiring, so much so that his experience ministering to an underserved population only solidified his longtime plan to pursue a career in nursing.

Dr. Jeff Mapp, Collegiate Class of 1997, and his wife Kimball, a pediatric nurse, founded Extra Mile Pediatrics in 2018. In addition to their work in Guatemala, volunteers serve five communities in El Salvador and travel to each country twice annually. Their model focuses on returning to the same locales treating the same patients and monitoring their growth and development, all the while earning their trust and that of their families.

Mapp has been Marshall’s pediatrician his entire life and knew of his calling.

In Marshall, Mapp saw himself at about the same age, when as an aspiring physician he accompanied Dr. John Ward, a neurosurgeon at the VCU Medical Center, on a mission trip to Guatemala.

“You take someone like Marshall who theoretically feels like, this is where I’m heading, then you introduce him to this type of medicine,” Mapp says. “My first experience in medicine was in that world as well, so I know how impactful that can be.”

Marshall spent his time performing very much the same duties that Mapp performed on his first mission trip in 1999: taking vitals, shadowing medical personnel, comforting anxious patients and their families, and assisting wherever needed.

“These children are going to the doctor for the first time,” Marshall says. “They don’t know what’s going on. My job was to be there for them and explain what was happening. Every single time I had to get a vital, I had to explain to the child what I was doing.

“Like taking blood pressure. They all got spooked because it’s a monitor squeezing their arm. I had to explain at a level they could understand.”

Since the explanations were delivered through translators, Marshall’s naturally gentle, reassuring demeanor and tone created a positive experience for young, often wary and frightened patients.

“With the language barrier, it’s hard to convey your sympathy,” he says. “They hear it, but they don’t always understand. You feel sympathy for a child who’s crying the entire time. Sometimes, words would get mixed up between the translator and the parents. It was a little tough, but we got the hang of it.”

Perhaps his most memorable experience occurred in a village near Sipacate, a town known for salt mining, when a girl about his age entered the medical compound.

“She was wearing torn clothes and obviously didn’t have many resources,” Marshall says. “She informed us that she had mild asthma and needed inhalers because she’d left her inhalers at her old house that she’d moved from.

“She works in the salt mines every day. She doesn’t go to school. She takes care of her two younger brothers. She explained her battle with mental health.

“Hearing her life story about how she was in a coma and hospitalized and seeing it with my own eyes was really tough

because I wanted to help and be there and give her something she could take with her and use. So we gave her food for at least five days. We gave her electrolytes and two inhalers, and we sent her off.”

Then, he took a walk to process what had just occurred. One of the nurses, noting his concern, walked with him.

I wanted to give her more, Marshall told the nurse.

You already gave her enough, his friend replied. You gave her your attention. You truly gave her an experience she can remember, like the doctor isn’t scary, and I can come back.

“I was emotional afterwards,” Marshall says, “because of how close we were in age and how much we had in common and seeing the other side of it. I told her, ‘You’ve got this. Keep your head in the game.’ I don’t know how I did it, but I did.”

Marshall grew from the experience, one he feels grateful for Mapp having encouraged.

“I want to go into nursing because I’ve always wanted to help other people,” Marshall says. “I’ve always wanted to be there and comfort friends when they’re going through tough times. So I want to be there for patients when they’re going through rough times and need help…that’s the short answer, but it’s the truth.”

CONVOCATION 2022

CONNECTS COLLEGIATE’S COMMUNITY

Spirit — passionate, loud, speckled with green-and-gold zeal — rose from the Collegiate body gathered on Grover Jones Field for Convocation, the School’s annual celebration to kick off the year. The event began with the entire student body — including Kindergartners perched on top of the Senior buddies’ shoulders, wearing the smile someone wears when they have just made a new lifelong friend — processing class by class onto the football field, with parents, Trustees and faculty and

Dancing with a Community

Collegiate’s dance program has provided dancers with a supportive, enthusiastic community for more than 20 years.

Collegiate School’s dance program, now in its 21st year, began with the goal of providing a creative outlet for students. The program, Stacy Dudley (formerly Stacy Pfeifer) envisioned, would establish a space where dancers could take the whirlwind of life and transform it into balance, symmetry, motion, shape — in a word: art.

In the winter of 2001, when Mrs. Dudley graduated from James Madison University, she began writing to former Head of School Keith Evans, outlining the particular benefits students would receive if the School began a dance program. She knew that Collegiate had a beautiful dance studio but lacked a program that would put it to good use. She wanted to change that. “My pitch was that dance is a great outlet for students creatively,” explains Mrs. Dudley, Collegiate’s Dance Coordinator. “Secondly, I said that dance helps students perform better in their academics. And finally, I mentioned that dance, because it improves agility and flexibility, strengthens students athletically.”

She began teaching at Collegiate that spring, giving instructional dance lessons to students looking to fulfill a fitness credit in the Middle School. Now, more than two decades later, Collegiate’s dance program has grown to accommodate students in all three divisions. “Coming to Collegiate, I knew that there were dancers here that were looking for a place to pursue their passion,” Mrs. Dudley says. “I wanted to make sure there was a space for those students. It has always been my goal for students to come to Collegiate’s dance studio and to be surrounded by other dancers that are supportive, enthusiastic and willing to make mistakes and learn from those mistakes. That has always been my vision since this program began, back in 2001, and to see that vision come to life is so terrific for the students.”

The Middle School dance studio, located on the second floor of the Seal Athletic Center, is flush with sunlight, which splashes through long horizontal windows and sweeps across

the hardwood dance floor. The 8th Grade dance company is moving through choreography to Stephen Sanchez’s “Until I Found You.” The movements are diligent, athletic, strong, and Mrs. Dudley counts out each step gingerly. When one dancer falters or misses a movement, another dancer encourages them to try again, their voice warm with support and kindness.

“If one of us makes a mistake, you’ll never hear anyone laugh or make fun of you,” says Addison Young ’27, a dancer in the 8th Grade company. “Instead, everyone is supportive. We’re all here for the same reason. We’re all helping one another, and we are all there for each other. We are one big community here. In this space, in this dance studio, I’ve found a place where I can just get away. I can be creative and productive at the same time, and I can just let my head relax and really be myself.”

In the dance studio, students are able to explore avenues of creativity. Each dance is an opportunity for expression. “In dance, there’s no right answer for how to perform a movement,” Mary Ellen Chapman ’27 says. “You can always make a dance movement your own, which challenges you to articulate your emotions and think in unique ways. Dance is my outlet, creatively, but it has also helped shape me as an athlete and as a student.”

Before each dance concert, the students in the Middle and Upper School dance companies will perform short previews of their pieces in assemblies. In Oates Theater, where the assemblies are held, the students’ hard work is on full display. For the dance students, who are received with fervent applause from their peers, it’s a validating experience. The culminating performance, perfected in the studio among a cohort of supportive peers, is a demonstration of creativity, emotion and skill. “Those performances give the students a place where they can shine,” Mrs. Dudley says. “It is an opportunity for a dancer to say, ‘This is what I’ve put my heart into, this is a part of who I am.’ It’s an empowering experience for a student to have.”

THE SENSATION OF SONG

A musical offers a captivating exercise of the eye, ear, mind and soul. Delivering spectacular sound and story, the Upper School theater program presented Little Shop of Horrors, one of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows, this fall. A charming comedy, Collegiate’s presentation of Little Shop of Horrors was the School’s first musical production in three years, satisfying the community’s need for songs of musical hilarity.

Emerging as Artists

The act of creation takes time, diligence and space. And for young artists, as they begin to understand the virtues of their talents, having room to explore is essential.

For three Collegiate School Seniors, who were selected to receive funding from the Oates Emerging Artist grant to attend a summer art-intensive course of their choice, finding that creative space proved to be beneficial to their development as both artists and students. Their talents as artists progressed at Collegiate but, when their summer courses began, Cate Riley ’23, Jacob Hunt ’23 and Eva Lareau ’23 began creating in earnest.

Cate elected to travel to New York to study film at the School of Creative and Performing Arts (SOCAPA), one of the premier visual and performing arts summer camps for young artists. For three weeks, the students in attendance are given the rigorous assignment of creating one film a week. “The camp was challenging,” she says, “but having an itinerary and having a schedule that encourages you to make films helped broaden my horizons and my skill set.”

In the first two movies she made, creative restrictions were imposed, pushing her to find new modes of storytelling. “Our first film was based on the Lumière brothers, and it could only be one minute long using

one continuous shot,” she explains. “And our second film, The Porter, implemented cuts but had to tell a simple story. Only in our third film were we able to combine everything we knew about filmmaking.”

Jacob, who used the grant to enroll in a five-day program at the New York Film Academy, began making movies of his own when he found his mom’s old camcorder tucked away in storage during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. “I had always loved movies, but when I started making my own I realized my interest went deeper than just watching them,” he says. “I became interested in the production of movies and how a story is told.”

When he learned about the Oates Emerging Artist grant, he jumped at the opportunity to continue pursuing his interest. During his time at the New York Film Academy, his passion for filmmaking, once a nebulous hobby, materialized into a tangible career aspiration. “I’ve really started to believe that I can be in this industry in the future,” he says. “My summer program definitely solidified my career in filmmaking.”

Both Jacob and Cate, in their respective programs, learned the ins and outs of the movie-production process. Working on small production teams, they were given equipment such as boom mics and lens filters

Collegiate School’s Oates Emerging Artist grant gives students the opportunity to explore their artistic talents.

previously not at their disposal. An understanding of the intricacies of movies blossomed. “The experience of having different roles on a set — like operating the microphones and working as the director — were really valuable to me,” Cate recalls. “Learning about cuts, how you compose your shot and just how important those decisions are in your film helped improve my storytelling.”

When Eva enrolled in VCU’s 2-D Portfolio Development camp this summer, she found a cohort of young artists with passions similar to hers. “The camp I pursued was really fantastic for connections,” she says. “I was able to talk to other artists about their art and their experiences in the arts. It’s really inspiring just to be surrounded by a community of artists.”

Eva’s camp, which focused on the fundamental principles and concepts of drawing and painting through studio instruction and lectures, helped her both refine and expand her techniques as a painter. She was challenged to paint a new piece every day, and in the process those skills made her a better student. “In all the art classes I’ve taken at Collegiate, I’ve known that art makes me a better thinker, mainly because it encourages you to create things and look at things from different angles,” Eva says. “The camp I took at VCU confirmed that for me.”

Artistic skill is a key that gives the artist a unique way of seeing the world, and Collegiate’s Oates Emerging Artist grant is intended to encourage that way of seeing, better preparing them for the future. “Art has made me a more dedicated student, because what it has taught me is that the only way to do well at something is to be passionate about it and really care,” Eva says. “Whether I pursue art or use my skills as an artist in another field, I know that I’ll be prepared.”

Art has made me a more dedicated student, because what it has taught me is that the only way to do well at something is to be passionate about it and really care.”

ATHLETICS UPDATE

Over the course of a long season, Collegiate’s student-athletes maintain within themselves a concentrated poignance and a set of refined skills. This sustained commitment to excellence is not unique to the habits they execute within their arena of play. Their talents on the field, rather, are indicative of excellence in all its forms — excellence of character, excellence of personal accountability and excellence of citizenship. Over the summer, the Richmond Times-Dispatch announced the remaining 2021-22 All-Metro student-athlete recipients, which celebrates this level of character. We would like to congratulate the following Collegiate student-athletes for receiving this distinction.

COACHING HEALTHY STUDENTS

By: Weldon Bradshaw

he road to excellence can be demanding, invigorating and rewarding beyond belief.

It can also come at a price. How does one deal with heightened expectations, either internal or external or both? How does one deal with life’s constantly changing landscape? How does one manage and mitigate stress?

This year, with funding from the Edward E. Ford Foundation Endowment for Coaching Excellence, Collegiate is teaming with the Peavey Project, an organization whose mission is “teaching mindfulness as a tool to enhance personal health, performance and the communities we serve.” On Aug. 18, Anna O’Connor, a mental health coach based in Severna Park, Md., began the initiative with two presentations, one for coaches and another for JV and varsity athletes and their parents.

“We’ve made a commitment as a program and school to really focus on mental health: the support and well-being of our athletes,” says Andrew Stanley, Collegiate’s Athletic Director. “We have infrastructure in place through the Peavey Project to get that work done. Anna’s presence kicks the year off with someone from the outside getting us on the same page and encouraging us that we’re on the right track.”

A graduate of University of North Carolina with a B.A. in education with a specialty in health and physical education, O’Connor taught and coached before taking time away from the classroom to raise her three daughters. During her journey, she developed a keen interest in helping others manage life’s challenges and attain peak performance, earned professional certification and developed a practice that serves athletes from the high school to college to professional level.

“I’ve created my own way of coaching,” she says. “It’s a framework based on neuroscience. When I went through training, it’s very complex, and I wanted something simple enough for a teenager to do quickly when they needed it and engaging enough for an adult. I use tools that people take with them wherever they go. I always say, ‘I coach you to coach yourself.’ The bottom line is to be able to handle whatever comes your way in the best way possible so you can move forward in a better way.”

Collegiate’s approach to athletics supports the health and well-being of its student-athletes.

For the past 50 years, Collegiate School’s Summer Quest has offered cherished summer experiences for the entire Richmond community.

n afternoon in mid-July, and students are waiting for the game to resume. They are in the long shadow stretching from the Estes Wing in the Lower School, and the sunlit field before them is a lush summer green, marked with cones and, on either end of the field, a small soccer net. In the brief repose of their soccer game, the students laugh together as camp leader and Kindergarten Teacher Robby Turner gives some helpful tips on the game. Then they take the field again, playing with ease, their cheers casting off into the warm air. Listening closely, you can hear those cheers rise and mix with the other expressions of joy bursting all across Collegiate School’s campus. It’s a day of Summer Quest at Collegiate, a summer day like any other — a day filled with limitless adventure.

At Collegiate, the summer months offer Richmond-area students of all ages a chance to grow and thrive outside traditional classrooms. There are the games played with friends on the playground, the miles traveled on bikes, the fishing excursions, the countless pages of books read, the pruned fingers from spending a day at the pool. For the past 50 years, Collegiate’s Summer Quest has offered these endless summer days for the entire Richmond community, giving students the space to explore and grow.

“For 50 years, Collegiate’s Summer Quest has picked up where the school year ends by providing children of all ages the opportunity to develop through a variety of camps,” says Neil Etheridge, Collegiate’s Director of Quest Programs. “When students attend Summer Quest, they are interacting with teachers and counselors who have a passion for learning. Summer Quest is fun, challenges minds and creates memories that will last a lifetime.”

The repertoire of offerings has grown significantly since Summer Quest began. But the mission — keeping students engaged over the summer — has persisted. What started as the Collegiate Summer School, back in 1972, with camps covering language arts, mathematics and college counseling, has grown to a comprehensive program of more than 175 camps offered each summer. And the programs attract more than just Collegiate students to campus. During Summer Quest 2022, 1,672 students from the Richmond metro region enrolled in at least one summer camp. More than 300 employees worked the camps themselves, a number that includes faculty, staff, college and high school students, coaches and vendors. (For perspective, Collegiate employs 362 full-time staff members during the school year.)

Summer Quest gives students that are not enrolled at Collegiate a chance to experience Collegiate’s approach to education, often compelling them and their families to join the Cougar community year-round.

Tate Price’s first time on North Mooreland Road was in the summer of 2021, when he attended one of Summer Quest’s Junior All-Sports camps. He was struck, first, by the fun of it all — the time spent with other students playing together under the summer sun. Then, as the

week went on, he began to recognize the School’s commitment to providing an engaging learning environment. In the spring of 2022, Tate enrolled at Collegiate, and he began the 2022-23 school year as a new 4th Grader.

“Tate really enjoyed being a part of the Summer Quest programs,” says Tate’s father Andrew Price. “He especially liked all the different experiences the program offered. Having camps that teach financial literacy to young students is something we hadn’t been exposed to before and, as a parent, that’s really exciting to have your kid be a part of something like that. So to find a place like Collegiate where you can have all these different experiences — a school that offers both serious academic camps as well as camps where you can just play — was really appealing to us.”

When Jennifer Syer and her husband Chris were searching for summer camps for their son Ethan to attend, they were struck by that same scope of comprehensive programs. There was an abundance of opportunity in Summer Quest — opportunity for Ethan to grow as a student and opportunity for him to play with friends during the summer, which, in essence, is what summer is all about. “We were drawn to Collegiate for their reputation of providing a wide variety of well-managed, safe, educational and fun experiences,” Jennifer says. “From the first drop-off to the final pickup at Summer Quest, Collegiate’s staff was always welcoming and available.”

Then, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Syers began searching for schools Ethan might like to attend. Because of the positive experiences Ethan had already enjoyed at Collegiate over the summer, becoming a Cougar was appealing. “We immediately gravitated to Collegiate,” Jennifer explains. “Having enjoyed Summer Quest, Ethan was already warm to the idea, and, as parents, we knew the quality of education and opportunity would be second to none.”

In the spring of 2022, when Ethan’s acceptance letter arrived, the entire Syer family was elated. Ethan is now enrolled at the School as a 5th Grader. The moments of happiness and personal growth that Ethan had during his time in Summer Quest camps have been amplified as a fulltime Collegiate student. “To say we’ve been pleased with our Collegiate experience would be an understatement,” Jennifer says. “The faculty members are engaged, students are nurtured and the facilities are great. As parents, we can see that Ethan is a sponge, excitedly telling us on the drive home or at the dinner table about what he’s learned. And we know the best is yet to come.”

When students attend Summer Quest, they are interacting with teachers and counselors who have a passion for learning. Summer Quest is fun, challenges minds and creates memories that will last a lifetime.”

Both meticulously organized and playfully loose, the structure of Summer Quest camps allows room for exploration. When students arrive at Mr. Turner’s All-Sports camps, the options for what to play are infinite. “I think our camps are about giving kids the chance to create and play on their own, giving them the chance to make up their own games with their own rules,” says Mr. Turner, who also directs the Discover Richmond camps. “I’ve found that campers like the fun and the flexibility to just play sports of all kinds. There’s no league, there aren’t any standings. We’re just playing and having fun.”

Lower School Math Specialist Laura Domalik, who led a camp called Get Your Math On!, has discovered that structured play engages and excites students. Through a variety of games and other math-related activities involving numbers, students learn how to apply math in places other than multiplication tables. Math becomes digestible, less rote. By approaching math in this way, Mrs. Domalik is teaching students to persevere and problem solve. “So one day in camp, for example, we made friendship bracelets, which involve a mathematical pattern. On another day, we spent time making chocolate desserts, and that got students thinking about fractions in a different way,” Mrs. Domalik explains. “Young kids learn through play. This is another way to learn and develop that encourages students to think through problems and possibilities and really understand the logic involved in math.”

Guided by faculty and student counselors, Summer Quest gives camp leaders and those assisting them a space to develop as educators and mentors. As Grayson Hepp, a Senior at Collegiate and a camp counselor for Robyn Hartley’s camp on gardening, teaches a young student how to hold a fledgling chicken, gratification rushes over him. He’s watching children make discoveries in real time, and he is playing a key role in that discovery. “Assisting with camps is great because I get to connect with younger students,” Grayson says. “As they are learning new things over the summer, I sometimes feel that I’m learning right alongside them. And being put in a leadership role like this is something I really value.”

In the Lower School garden tucked below Reynolds Hall there is a perennial profusion of vegetation. Grayson and Mrs. Hartley, Collegiate’s groundskeeper, take a group campers through the garden. Within the bushel of budding marigolds, Mrs. Hartley finds a leopard frog. Delicately, one student grabs the frog, cradles it in her cupped hands.

“What did we learn about frogs yesterday?” Mrs. Hartley asks the group. “They can’t breathe underwater all the time like a fish,” one student responds. The campers then go find a small fish tank to fill with water and place the frog in, and then, hoping to feed the frog, a few students go off in search of crickets. Other campers follow Mrs. Hartley to check on the vegetable garden, looking for their next adventure, their next discovery.

Our camps are about giving kids the chance to create and play on their own.”

Report on Philanthropy

Chief Development Officer

Dear Collegiate Community,

At a faculty meeting this summer, a colleague stated that she could never do what I do: fundraise on behalf of the School.

This sentiment always surprises me. This colleague is a fabulous student connector, believes passionately in the mission of Collegiate and has countless stories to share of community, student successes and ways that professional development has enriched her teaching.

When asked why I am in this profession, I share that all great organizations need philanthropic support to evolve and thrive. After spending the majority of my career in higher education fundraising, it has been so rewarding for me to be part of the Collegiate community, where I get to witness the more direct and powerful impact that philanthropic gifts have on all our students, teachers and programs. Personally, as an employee and a Collegiate parent to two Cougars, I see firsthand all the ways students and teachers benefit from your generous support each and every day.

To my colleague who says they could never fundraise: We can only do our work because of the amazing connections you and our other incredible teachers have with our students.

Please accept my heartfelt thanks to all in our Collegiate community who have invested in Collegiate and our students this past year. Gifts to the Annual Fund supported all aspects of a Collegiate education — from academics, athletics, performing arts, financial assistance, faculty professional development, experiential learning opportunities, outdoor learning spaces and so much more.

The success of Collegiate involves the support of everyone at the School. I hope you will enjoy reading what motivates and inspires the Development Team, who each work diligently to help our Cougars thrive. In this Report on Philanthropy, you’ll read stories about why those in our community support Collegiate and learn about the impact of their giving. The people at Collegiate uplift us all, and no matter how you choose to support the School, your gift is felt in profound ways by every Cougar on North Mooreland Road.

On behalf of everyone at Collegiate, thank you for investing in the School and our students.

Gratefully,

Kristen Williams P ’24 ’24 Chief Development Officer

They were giants, not in physical stature but in presence and bearing.

They spoke loudly, not in words but through meaningful and understated actions.

Dick and Jean Wiltshire left a glowing legacy of excellence and humility, not just for the three generations of their family that followed them but for the Collegiate family which, from the beginning of their long association, was a vital and beloved part of their lives.

“Honestly, the greatest thing about the Wiltshire legacy is that it’s a quiet legacy,” says Gracie McGurn Mason ’05, their granddaughter. “That is so impactful on Collegiate.

“A lot of the things they did, especially my grandad, were so under the radar. We live in a world now where everybody knows everything about everybody and you can find out about people in an instant. It’s so special to me that my grandparents did wonderful things for people but didn’t want to be recognized.”

Dick Wiltshire, a stellar multi-sport athlete at Woodberry Forest and the University of Virginia, earned universal respect for his integrity, humility and business acumen as president of Home Beneficial Life Insurance Co.

He joined Collegiate’s Board of Trustees in 1955 and served as vice-president from 1961-1963, president from 1963-1965, and Life Trustee from 1988 until his passing May 29, 2012.

Truly a servant leader, he was a pillar of strength and wisdom, especially during challenging times in the institution’s history.

He and Jean Betts, a 1938 Collegiate alumna, married during his Christmas vacation from UVA in 1942. Their four children, Gray Wiltshire Massie ’61, Rick Wiltshire ’64, Buck Wiltshire ’67 and Boodie Wiltshire McGurn ’71 are graduates, as is Buck’s wife Weezie Vincent Wiltshire ’67.

Twelve grandchildren, all of whom call them “Parp” and “Ging,” are also alumni. Eight great-grandchildren are currently enrolled at the School.

“Our lives always revolved around Collegiate,” says Mary Wiltshire Beckstoffer ’99. “It was the people and the culture. The people are real. The connections you make at Collegiate last a lifetime. To me, Collegiate is clearly about the relationships. There was never a question of where we’d go or where I’d send my kids.”

Dick and Jean, who passed away Nov. 22, 2012, were inveterate advocates for Collegiate’s athletic teams, especially those on which their children and grandchildren competed. In fact, you could probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of events they missed during their decades-long association with the School.

What they modeled — and there was definitely a trickle-down effect to the next generation — was loyalty, sportsmanship, competitive spirit, a commitment to fair play and unconditional support.

Gracie Mason, a talented track and cross country athlete, recalled a conversation she had with her grandmother following a 3,200-meter race on the track.

“They loved coming out no matter what,” Gracie says. “One day, Ging said to me, ‘Gracie, I don’t see why you picked a sport where you run around in circles all the time. Everybody else scores goals and things like that.’”

She laughed at the memory, then added, “But they were always there, always cheering me on. It didn’t matter what anybody did. If you were all in, they were all in.”

The legacy endures.

“I really want my kids to know that it’s not about who knows you or sees your name or hears your name,” Gracie says. “It’s about what you did for other people and how that made them feel. It’s about being a good, hard worker and a good person. At the end of the day, it’s about knowing you gave your all to everybody and everything in your life.”

GIVING AN Experience

Shane and Gibbs Lott P ’28 ’32 brought their two children to Collegiate for the educational experience.

“We recognized that Collegiate has really strong academics, and we saw that the School offers lots of opportunities for our children’s growth,” Shane explains. “Whether it was athletics, the arts or robotics, it felt like there was a path available for our two boys to pursue what they were passionate about.”

Since coming to Collegiate, in 2020, the Lotts’ initial impression has held firm. And as they began participating in some of the School’s many activities, feeling the warmth of spirit and camaraderie that emanates from events such as the Village Green Fair and the Spring Party & Auction, they saw Collegiate as more than just a rigorous academic institution. “When we attended the at-home auction in 2021, even though it was remote, we had so much fun,” Shane says. “Events like the Spring Party and all the volunteer opportunities there are with the Parents’ Association really make Collegiate feel like a community.”

As the date for the 2022 Spring Party approached, Shane and Gibbs knew they wanted to contribute in any way they could. “We’re experience-oriented people,” Gibbs explains, “and we wanted to put something up for auction that was more than just a material item.” With Gibbs’s passion for and knowledge of bourbon, the Lotts decided to donate a selection of whiskey as well as offered the auction item winner a chance to visit their stunning whiskey bar for a tasting.

“You know, it’s ultimately just a matter of how you show up,” Gibbs says. “Whether that is participating, volunteering or putting something up for auction at the Spring Party, what matters really is supporting Collegiate and making sure all the students have the most opportunities possible. Our children spend their formative years here, and we want to contribute to their education in any way we can. I think that’s an important part about being in a community.”

The Collegiate community has laid such a strong foundation for both our families. We value what the School has given us, and volunteering with the Spring Party & Auction is a small measure of thanks for the tremendous Cougar experience we enjoy daily.”

SUPPORTING Connections

Every Saturday, Upper School Spanish Teacher Esperanza Soria-Nieto P ’15 ’21 and a group of Collegiate Upper School students take a trip to Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary School, located in the southside of Richmond. “We’ll sit and read with the students, and we’ll play together, but really we just share community with each other and we learn from each other,” Mrs. Soria-Nieto explains. It’s a relationship that she and her students have continued for more than a decade. Why? Because of the time-honored commitment to community and citizenship that Collegiate students and teachers uphold. And, as Mrs. Soria-Nieto says, “It’s important to give back to the community when you yourself have been given so much.”

The experience is mutually beneficial, and the Upper Schoolers get back as much as they give. For a number of them, the time spent at Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary School has inspired them to become teachers themselves. “One of the great things about our

students is that they always want to give back,” Mrs. Soria-Nieto says. “Before we started going to Oak Grove-Bellemeade, students would come to me and say, ‘Let’s do community service in Honduras, El Salvador or Guatemala,’ and I would remind them that our support can be felt just as much locally, too.” The relationships Collegiate students build with the elementary-aged students at Oak GroveBellemeade involve commitment, dedication, community awareness and a selfless desire to improve the lives of others.

“When we go to Oak Grove-Bellemeade, you see a lot of very, very smart kids who don’t have the same opportunities that Collegiate students have because they don’t have the money, and I think that quality of education is something they deserve,” Mrs. Soria-Nieto says.

“I believe every student should have the right to a quality education, and with whatever impact I have I want to give students that opportunity.”

A perennial supporter of the School, Mrs. Soria-Nieto has seen her two children, Ivan Soria-Hawkinson ’21 and Adriana Soria-Hawkinson ’15, mature and grow at Collegiate. She also recognizes the warmth and inclusivity of the Collegiate community. Her hope, she says, is to continue extending that community to other students. “The money that I give and the money other people give helps broaden our community,” she explains. “It helps provide a good education to students, and I think that’s very special.”

THE Collegiate Spirit

There are certain moments Alice Hallock ’22 shared with her classmates during her Senior year that she returns to often. The green-and-gold student section glistening with beads and foam fingers and large cutouts of student-athletes as Collegiate took the field against St. Christopher’s during the 2021 Homecoming game. The countless hours she spent in Oates Theater preparing for the play Our Town. The general atmosphere of collegiality and friendship she felt walking to her classes each day in Pitt Hall. All of these memories bring her closer to Collegiate.

These warm reflections are also why, upon graduating, Hallock felt compelled to support Collegiate and the experiences that made her Senior year special. She wanted to ensure that the rising Seniors had the support they needed to create their own fond memories.

“The Collegiate community takes a little bit of everything to thrive,” Hallock explains. “It takes time and energy and talent and support. And now that I’ll be physically away from Collegiate while in college and won’t be able to spend as much time on campus, I wanted to give something else that still has an impact.”

Hallock, who attended Collegiate since Kindergarten, feels that the School and all the educational opportunities she received helped guide her towards a brighter future. She says that giving back is her way of demonstrating gratitude.

“The School has given so much to me,” she says. “I feel like giving back is the best way to continue supporting the people who are here. I’ve realized that all the ways people give make the School run and creates the magic I know I felt during my 13 years at Collegiate.”

Collegiate is at the foundation of who I have grown up to be. At 50 years strong and growing, these relationships have endured the test of time. Collegiate is a very special and unique experience that doesn’t exist anywhere in the ‘grown up world,’ so to be able to bring back the knowledge of life experiences to the students and faculty is a humbling privilege.”

GOING ABOVE and BEYOND

David Bannard was a young teacher just five years into his tenure at Groton School in Connecticut when a letter arrived in the mail one summer day.

Curious as always, he opened it to find that he was the recipient of the Woodward Award, which honors (with a stipend) teachers who perform meritorious service beyond the expectations outlined in their job description — not for acclaim or remuneration but simply because pitching in is the right thing to do.

Mr. Bannard had never thought about his career in any other manner. His willingness to work whether anyone noticed or not was part of his makeup. The validation of his spirit of teamwork, though, was moving and much appreciated.

“This was a time long before people started getting paid for all the extras they did,” says Bannard, who retired in June after 53 years in education, the first three at Vincent Smith School on Long Island, then 17 at Groton and the remaining 33 at Collegiate.

“I was coaching three sports, running a dorm, teaching five sections of math (with five separate preps, no less) and sitting on about four committees. That’s just what you did. It [the Woodward Award] meant a huge amount to me, not so much the financial part but because somebody noticed what I was doing.”

Throughout his distinguished career as a teacher of mathematics and life, Mr. Bannard’s dedication and passion never waned.

He was a lifelong learner who was fascinated by the possibilities that rapidly evolving technology presented. Never one to rest on laurels or rely on old lesson plans, he was adept at creating new, cutting-edge courses such as math modeling and fractal geometry, the geometry of nature.

“To me, it’s been important to find an interest that goes beyond what you taught last year,” he says. “Change a couple of percent each year.”

Mr. Bannard’s classes at Collegiate were well-subscribed, not because they were easy but because they were demanding and stimulating. He challenged his students to think deeply, work collaboratively, use their creativity and find something deep within themselves that even they might not have recognized.

In 2006, he was honored with the Joanne Pratt Award for Teaching Excellence and in 2018 with the Ann Griffin Award for Excellence in Teaching.

In the spirit of giving back, Mr. Bannard, in 2015, established the David N. Bannard Upper School Award for Teaching Excellence.

The recipient will be “a full-time Upper School faculty member who is an outstanding teacher and contributes to the life of the School in ways above and beyond. This may include involvement in student clubs, athletics, performing arts, special committees and other leadership opportunities.”

To Mr. Bannard, it’s a matter of honoring humble service, just as he was honored. “We all know many people who go above and beyond their job description,” he says. “That’s the nature of teaching. Teachers are always taking on that extra duty or responsibility that nobody quite anticipated, be it an extra class or a sports team that needs coverage. There’s such a myriad of things that need to get done that aren’t part of the job description. It’s important to recognize those teachers, in particular the ones who step up to the plate over and over again.

“I’ve spent a long time at Collegiate and feel very close to it. Collegiate has been very important to me. I feel very strongly that it’s important to pay it forward. I hope in a small way that this [the Bannard Award] will make a difference for teachers who work very hard.”

ENDURING Growth

Throughout the 2022 Senior Transition Program, students from the Class of 2022 spent time connecting with Collegiate School alumni. As Seniors were preparing to take the next steps in their lives, the passionate support system of alumni gathered to offer their encouragement and wisdom, shining a beacon of shimmering light on the students’ futures.

Watching the events of the program unfold, Elizabeth Dolan Wright ’01 P ’33 ’35 felt a deep connection with each of the students. She recognized their commitment to shared values, saw in them her same creative spirit, understood their love of learning, and, most importantly, knew that the Collegiate education each student received gave them the necessary tools to make a positive impact on the world. It was the same education she benefited from during her time at Collegiate, and she takes pride in being able to support that same education for future generations.

“So much of who I am today is due in large part to the wonderful experiences I had at Collegiate,” Wright says. “And giving back in any way I can helps ensure that students at Collegiate now have those same experiences.”

Wright relishes her time as a thespian at Collegiate, and she credits her involvement in the SCA with developing her skills as a leader. For her, a Collegiate education allows students to explore the possibilities of what their futures might look like. “I found Collegiate to be such a wonderful, safe and challenging place to explore the fundamentals of what I wanted to do with my life,” she explains. “Giving those same opportunities to students today is so important to me.”

Both as an alumna and as a parent of two young Collegiate Cougars, Wright understands the unique atmosphere of Collegiate and the magic that happens daily around campus. “What is so special about Collegiate is that it gives each student such a specialized experience,” she says. “I felt that when I was a student, sure, but I see it even more today with so many more opportunities to try things in different arenas. We have worldclass programs like STEAM and robotics, and, with our outdoor learning spaces and our state-of-the-art classrooms, Collegiate offers students the space for exciting exploration.”

Collegiate remains strong because of the connections we share with each other, particularly the connections between current students and alumni. It’s one of the many ways the School’s flame endures. “Being there for students in any way I can is something I feel strongly about,” Wright says. “I feel that the way we’ve progressed and evolved as an institution is so exciting, because there’s a place for everyone. I am happy to support that development.”

SOWING SEEDS For Future Students

During Collegiate School’s 2022 Giving Day, Coretta Kingston was enthusiastic. “For me, the atmosphere of Giving Day, the excitement at the possibility of supporting our kids and our students, made me really want to give,” she says. Kingston, who has a 2nd Grader and a 6th Grader at Collegiate, recalls participating in one particular grade-level challenge in the Lower School, and as she eagerly watched the results of that challenge come in throughout the day, one word continued to resonate with her: community.

“On Giving Day, you really feel the collective contribution of the community,” Kingston says. “When I give to the School, I see that the seeds are planted, those seeds resulting in the support my children and other children receive. In our giving, we plant that seed for generations to come.”

No matter the size, gifts such as Kingston’s support all aspects of a Collegiate education — from books and subscriptions in each of our three libraries to athletic equipment and petri dishes in the science labs — and those gifts benefit students for generations. Simply put: Gifts to the Annual Fund help Collegiate’s students grow.

“I know that educating children takes a village,” Kingston says. “I see that vast network of support throughout Collegiate — in the teachers, in the faculty, in the parents — and watching my children benefit from that is really special. Giving back to the School and then being able to physically see my gift come to fruition in what I know my kids receive — well, it’s all worth it.”

“I volunteer at Collegiate for my kids. It gives me a chance to see a glimpse into their school life and possibly make a positive difference in their Collegiate journey. Whether it’s volunteering for a shift at VGF, spending your morning helping at the Cougar Shop or chairing a committee, there is something available for everyone who wants to get involved.”

“Volunteering at Collegiate has allowed me to meet teachers as well as many families. I always receive self-fulfillment when performing even small tasks for the Cougar community, because the teachers and staff appreciate the parents just as much as we appreciate them. I encourage parents to invest any amount of their time to help build a better environment for all.”

“I enjoy volunteering at Collegiate because it is a way for me to contribute to the sense of community that makes Collegiate so special. I truly get as much or more than I put into it. Volunteering at Collegiate also gives me a stronger connection to the School that has become such a pivotal part of my family’s life.”

“We both enjoy volunteering our time and skills because we think it is a meaningful way to give back to the School and because we believe it is important for our children to see us fully engaged within our Collegiate community. We also volunteer because it is a fun way to get to know the families, faculty and staff within our community. It is gratifying to know that your hard work is benefiting an organization that gives so much to our children and our families.”

The Formative Years

During recess at Fort Cougar, the Lower School playground, noises of jubilance are amplified. Sunlight filters through an overcast mid-September day and splashes with warmth on students as they climb on monkey bars, coast down slides and soar on swings, their feet reaching towards the sky. Beth ’72 and Ry Marchant ’71, taking in the effortless joy common in Lower Schoolers, spot their granddaughter Liza ’35 running towards them, her arms stretched wide and ready for a hug.

Beth and Ry radiate with admiration as they watch the scene. In so many ways, it is the same atmosphere they experienced as Collegiate students themselves. “Collegiate was a formative time for me,” Ry says. “I think back to all my growth during my time here, and I think back to all the teachers and coaches who had such a strong influence on me. So it really is special to see children today still benefiting from that same Collegiate education.”

Knowing firsthand the diligence with which the School approaches academics, Ry and Beth sent their two children, Meg and Reilly, to Collegiate. Meg graduated in 1998 and Reilly, who met his wife Lizzy, a Class of 2004 alumna and now a 2nd Grade Teacher, during his time on North Mooreland Road, graduated in 2003.

“Seeing Collegiate through our children’s eyes — and now watching our granddaughter Liza attend the School — you realize once again how valuable those experiences are,” Ry says. “When you graduate from Collegiate, there is this big wide world waiting for you, and, from personal experience, I know that this School does a great job of preparing students for that world.”

But Ry and Beth Marchant are not just great benefactors of Collegiate; they are also great and indelible supporters of everything the School offers. “Collegiate was like family to me,” Beth says. “The teachers, my friends, the athletics and the traditions we experienced together — all of this gave me a foundation that carried me throughout my life. I’m proud to be a Collegiate alumna, and I want the School to succeed. Giving back to something that has given me so much is an obvious thing to do. It gives me joy to be a supporter.”

Letter from JASMINE TURNER

When I think about Collegiate School, the words community and connection come to mind. As a 9th Grader, back in 2007, I honestly couldn’t have imagined stepping into the role of Alumni Board President 15 years in the future. I am grateful for the faculty, staff and friends who helped make Collegiate an impactful experience. Saying yes to serving in this capacity is meaningful for many reasons, including the opportunity to give back to the place that has given so much to me. I care about our Collegiate community, and I want to see it thrive, grow and evolve.

As we start a new school year, our Alumni Board wants to focus on connecting with students and families. We want all students, especially those preparing for life after Upper School, to know they are supported. There is a network of people waiting to guide and assist them in whatever way they need. Our intention is to foster connection — connections between alumni, students and the Collegiate community. One of the ways we intend to bring people together is through our alumni student connection committee, which is new this year. The goal of the committee is to offer and highlight networking opportunities and programming. Please contact me or Anne Gray Siebert ’97, our Director of Alumni Engagement, to learn more about the many ways alumni can get involved in the activities happening on Collegiate’s campus.

The 2022-23 Alumni Board is composed of people who care deeply about this School and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each of their roles. I am so excited to be working with our tremendous community of alumni, and I can’t wait for all the connections we are sure to have this year. We look forward to a year of community and connection!

With warmest regards,

Jasmine Turner ’11 Alumni Association President

HOMECOMING

Cougars brought the green-and-gold spirit for Homecoming weekend. From the pep rally to reunion celebrations, the weekend offered a time to celebrate the Collegiate community.

REUNITING WITH THEIR ROOTS

The first group of students to have classes in Luck Hall, the Class of 1987 returned to their Kindergarten classrooms to celebrate their 35th reunion on Homecoming weekend.

Gretchen Loree Crawford ’87 remembers the short walk, taken one morning in the winter of 1974, from her previous Kindergarten classroom to Luck Hall, a brief stroll with her classmates that marked the beginning of the rest of her time in the Lower School. She remembers the connections with classmates and the countless bits of wisdom passed down from teachers — all of those crucial early stages of development contained in her Kindergarten classroom. The first group of students to have classes in Luck Hall, the Class of 1987 returned to their classrooms of origin for their 35th reunion on Homecoming weekend, and the memories made there came rushing back to the Collegiate alumni.

Coming back to Collegiate, the alumni explored the classrooms of their childhoods, still as spacious and fruitful for discovery as the 1987 graduates remember it back in the 70s. “I think we just had such a nice sense of values at Collegiate, a sense of honor, a sense of loyalty and a lot of lessons that helped build character in every student,” Crawford reflects. “It was a gift to go to Collegiate, and it makes me so happy to see other students still receiving those same experiences.”

During the construction of Luck Hall, the Class of 1987 took their classes in the church across from what is now the Lower School parking lot. The space was initially designed to house four classrooms, each one containing access to an outdoor area, the intention being to encourage individual student growth and exploration. Now, after nearly 50 years, Luck Hall continues to offer a space for students to thrive in every aspect of life, providing a unique education for each unique student.

“Reading time was the best in Luck Hall,” recalls Glen Pusey Meck ’87, another graduate of the Class of 1987. “My enduring love for books began there and then fully flourished under the instruction of Dr. Hailes.”

The space holds significance for each member of the class, but the people, those who created the warm energy within the space, are what made the alumni’s time at Collegiate special. The Class of 1987 revisited the pivotal years of their lives with the classmates that made their education at Collegiate impactful.

“The fabric of my childhood is still important to me, and I’m always happy to see anybody I spent my childhood with and catch up with people who were there to help me grow,” Crawford says. “Collegiate was such a big part of my life growing up, and reunions give me the opportunity to reconnect with my classmates to find out all the interesting things they’ve done and seen since graduating. That’s why I come back for Homecoming: to revisit the place and the people who have meant so much to me throughout my life.”

CLASS OF 1987

A gentle breeze wafted through Collegiate’s North Mooreland Road campus, and wisps of clouds drifted across the cerulean sky on this picture-perfect Homecoming afternoon.

As the Cougars and Norfolk Academy matched strength and skill on the Grover Jones Field before an enthusiastic sea of onlookers and youngsters frolicked on the playground nearby and the open field behind the bleachers, sounds of joy filled the air.

Amidst the celebration, VADM Frank W. “Trey” Whitworth III ’85 sat quietly and inconspicuously on a bench in the gazebo overlooking the festivities and spoke softly, almost reverently, of the lessons he’d learned during his eight years at Collegiate that have served him well throughout his 34-year career in the United States Navy.

“Even though the physical plant may have changed since I was a student here, the sense of family, community and values is as strong as ever,” he said in measured tones. “That’s the staying power of Collegiate.”

Earlier in the day, Collegiate’s Alumni Association honored Whitworth with its Distinguished Alumni Award, which recognizes excellence in the recipient’s field of endeavor.

“This was a very special day,” he said, then deflected the credit as is his wont. “A lot of people have helped me beginning with the faculty, administrators and my fellow students at Collegiate. Obviously, my family. My wife Amy. The sailors and officers who have worked with me. There are many people I could share this award with.”

During his illustrious career, Whitworth has earned numerous citations for meritorious service and leadership as well as the abiding respect of those with whom he has shared the journey.

Among his many assignments, he has served as Commander of the Joint Intelligence Center Central, Director of Intelligence for the U.S. Africa Command, Director of Intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and, since June 2022, Director of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.

The underpinnings of his career go back, he says, to the time-honored lessons of integrity, character, leadership and humility that he learned at home (from his parents Dixon and Kay) and church and in the classrooms and on the playing fields of Collegiate and has done all within his power to pay forward.

“I have vivid memories,” he said, referencing his formative years. “Tradition is everything. Shared experiences: stickball, Yule Log, chapel services, an intense, competitive academic environment yet good-natured competition. We were happy for each other when someone did well. Small class sizes. You knew the people in your class, their parents, and their histories.

“Other than my family and the church, I don’t think I’ve had a more important academic, social and moral foundation in an institution than at Collegiate. I really mean that.”

Though intelligence is his professional specialty, Whitworth dreamed of being a pilot when he received his ROTC commission upon graduation from Duke University in 1989.

“That was not part of the plan,” he said of his career direction. “If a faithful person looked at it, they might say that was part of a plan. I was on my way to Pensacola, Fla., to join the aviation community. My left eye would not correct to 20/20. I tried as hard as I could, they tried as hard as they could, and it just couldn’t correct at that critical time so I had to find an alternative immediately.

“I actually picked intelligence against the odds. It was unlikely that I’d be accepted given that I came from ROTC. I was fortunate. The rest is history, I guess.”

He never looked back.

“I’ve really enjoyed the people I’ve worked with and learned with,” he said. “I related to them, and we became good friends. And as long as they kept giving interesting jobs and the work seemed impactful, I never thought about an alternative. I joke that I think we’re going to make it a career now.”

Whitworth was appointed by President Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate for his current post heading the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

“This is a very fulfilling opportunity,” he said. “NGA is in charge of the intelligence we derive from imagery and observations from all sorts of different sensors. We’re also in charge of the safety of navigation inherent to our cartographic missions and the certification of some of our data for charts.

“One of the hardest things we do, and maybe the hardest things to do in the military, is deconflicting combatant from non-combatant. This is one of the core missions of NGA, so I’m honored to be in charge of this agency.”

The three stars on Whitworth’s shoulder identify him as one of the highest-ranking officers in the United States military, but Whitworth, ever humble and a servant leader, sees himself as just another Collegiate alumnus enjoying the ambiance of Homecoming.

“Faith reminds us that we’re all together and that we’re relatively small in comparison to the rest of the world,” he said. “Faith reminds us to remember that people have feelings, so what we say or do and how we conduct ourselves around others can have a lasting effect.

“No matter your rank or stature, those are people you’re talking to. We’re all just people. On this particular day, we’re all Cougars.”

One of the highest-ranking officers in the United States military, Trey Whitworth, ever humble and a servant leader, was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award during Homecoming.

In mid-July a group of six Collegiate alums — Terrell Williams, John Hamner, Steve

Gentil, Greg Williams ’69, Cliff Kirkmyer ’69 and Chris Wiltshire ’72 — and two nonCougars (Cliff Culley and David Westerlund) went on a golf trip to Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Class of 1970 had held its 50th reunion celebration (delayed due to COVID-19) in November 2021. One popular member of the class, Susan Lecky Williams, was unable to attend the reunion due to the distance from her home in Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland.

When the golf group received its itinerary and realized they would be playing golf courses in Northern Ireland, they set out to see if they could connect with Susan. After many texts and emails it was agreed that after playing Royal Portrush they would meet Susan at the Galgorm Manor Inn in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. It was great of her to make the hourplus drive (each way) from Bangor to see them.

It was a fabulous reunion and they had a great time catching up. Lots of smiles and laughs. It was fascinating to hear of her life and family in Northern Ireland. It is safe to say she is thriving and loving life. She sends her kind regards to all of her classmates and fellow Cougars.

1971

S. Lawrence Dumville died May 16, 2022.

Brandon Fox and her husband, Chris Arias, sailed to Manhattan from Deltaville and back in their 1985 Bristol 411. The trip took three weeks, and although they weathered a bad storm, it was a great time. “I’m glad I have the winter to recover, though, before I contemplate any more boating,” she says.

1984

Sarah Paxton has had a busy year. She and husband Andy Thornton sold the building that housed LaDiff for 24 years, bought new property in Manchester and then spent the next seven months in “moving sale” mode. “Imagine moving your 3,000 square-foothouse 25 times!” she says. Andy is now retired — although he keeps an office and a wood shop on site and is very involved in developing the rest of the property — and Sarah is running the next iteration of LaDiff solo. She says she’d love to show it off to any Cougars who want to visit. You’ll find the new store located at 1011 Commerce Road.

The organization is the second largest Jewish community foundation in North America with more than $2.3 billion in assets, and the nonprofit grants nearly $200 million a year to thousands of Jewish and secular causes in the U.S., Israel and around the world. Joy has been living in San Francisco for six years with her husband, Jonathan Salky, and their two daughters, Alexandra (12) and Emmy (9). After living in New York for 16 years, they’re enjoying life on the West Coast — especially the weather and outdoor lifestyle.

Michael Gottwald was married in New Orleans in March 2022. “It was a re-do of our wedding,” he says, “this time with actual people there, since the first go-round scheduled for 2020 got minimized to a backyard and eight people.” Collegiate friends Jonathan Marks and Vishesh Pathak were there. “The latter two gave toasts for the ages,” says Michael. “Vishesh concentrated on my illustrious career as an athlete at Collegiate; Yogi’s was kind of a beat poetry piece. Jay Nelson also flew in, but unfortunately had to leave immediately because his child was bitten by a raccoon at his parents’ home (next door to my parents’ home) in Virginia. TBD which side of the property line the raccoon called home and thereby whether Dr. Bill Gottwald is actually to blame. Classmates who know Jay, Yogi and myself might think I’m kidding; rest assured I am not. Fortunately we relied on the vast knowledge we had gained from our 9th Grade health class group project on rabies — and the first film I ever made — to determine that Jay’s offspring was not rabid. Other than that unfortunate incident, it was a lovely weekend.”

A TEACHER’S TAKE

SPARK TALKS WITH COLLEGIATE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER

Kimberly Workman

A Kindergarten classroom contains an abundance of possibilities. For a Kindergartner, each day holds opportunities for growth, kindness and friendship. Brilliantly orchestrating those possibilities is Kimberly Workman, who has taught Kindergarten at Collegiate for five years. A year of Kindergarten is the first step, for many students, into the future of learning, and Mrs. Workman wants to make sure that the future is bright for her students. She talks with Spark about the joys of teaching at Collegiate, her teaching style and the perks of being in Kindergarten.

WHAT MAKES TEACHING AT COLLEGIATE SO SPECIAL?

Our School’s focus on creating responsible citizens through service learning is what makes teaching at Collegiate so special. Not every school has the time or resources to allow their students to identify needs in their community — classroom, school and global — and find ways to help solve those problems.

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO TEACHING?

Teaching Kindergarten is a unique experience. No matter what a child’s preschool or Junior Kindergarten experience was, many view Kindergarten as the first step into “big kid school.”

During this important educational transition, there is a special opportunity to instill a love of learning in each student. Because of this, I try to approach teaching in a student-centered way. I try to make lessons as engaging as possible by incorporating student interests. You always want your kids to want to come to school each day and be excited about what they are going to accomplish.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE YOUR STUDENTS TAKE WITH THEM WHEN THEY LEAVE YOUR CLASSROOM?

I hope my students leave Kindergarten wanting to be lifelong learners. My hope for the end of Kindergarten is that they have had a great year and are sad to leave our little community but feel prepared and ready for 1st Grade. I hope they are good people — not just to others in the Collegiate community, but to those outside of this safe space.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT COLLEGIATE?

I love the tradition of the Kindergarten-Senior buddy pairings. It’s nice to see how the relationships evolve over the course of the year. The Kindergarteners start the year off not remembering their Senior’s name or having much to talk about with them. And then, at the end of the year, they are sharing with their classmates where their Senior is going to college and wanting to write them stories and make them gifts for their last visit together.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ASPECT OF TEACHING KINDERGARTNERS?

Being a Kindergartener has its perks! Kindergarteners make so much visible growth and are so excited about the little things during the year. They are learning how to make new friends, learning the routine and traditions of a new school, learning how to speak up for themselves and becoming readers of a variety of books. This is all occurring while they are losing their teeth, sharing what they are grateful for in a classmate when they have a birthday, having a “p-jam and stuffy day” to celebrate the last school day of winter, and having the chance to play on Fort Cougar.

WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?

I am proud that the Kindergarteners I’ve had over the last several years are turning into good people. It’s also always nice to hear that a project you did with your class or an experience you shared together is something that they remember.

The special Collegiate bond: Kimberly Workman’s former Kindergarten students attended her wedding held last summer.
