Fall 2024/Winter 2025 Corrections

Quincy Rodin ’25 was incorrectly listed as the Conference Offensive Player of the Year. She was, in fact, named Conference Player of the Year.

Emma Butler ’28 was mistakenly omitted as the runner-up finisher at the Division IV State Cross Country Championships.

PCDS Community,

I’m always fairly emotional at our Graduation ceremony; no matter who’s crossing the bridge, it’s easy to get sentimental. The sun is tucking behind Burch Hall and spilling a brilliant purple light on Camelback Mountain; the faculty and staff are looking sharp in their brilliant black robes and blue and gold hoods as they take their places along the desert red railing; and the smiles on the students’ faces as they address their mentors for the final time as PCDS students is undeniably heartwarming.

How could you not get a little choked up?

Well, this year I had one more reason to feel that lump in my throat: my daughter was a member of the most recent graduating class. Moreover, she’s the last of my three kids to close out her PCDS passage. So I had some additional skin in the game! (My eyes are tearing up just writing about it; still too soon!)

I think what makes this whole experience so moving, at least from a parent’s perspective, is the recognition of your child’s coming-of-age journey, with all the twists

and turns and ups and downs that make it so special, so powerful, and so unique to each of them.

At the heart of that journey are the relationships that each student forms along the way: with their teachers, coaches, and advisors, and certainly with other students. It’s the exchanges they relish in class, the games they play at recess, the sports, the plays, the clubs, the trips. And yes, even the parties they enjoy together. There are the traditions they share, many of which you’ll see highlighted in this issue of The Bridge, including one of my favorites: the Senior/Kindergarten buddy experience, which I’ve now joyfully seen through BOTH perspectives. In all, it’s a beautiful and intricately woven tapestry that we can savor for a lifetime.

As you read through the pages of our magazine, I hope you’ll find yourself walking back down memory lane and taking stock of the moments that made your own school experience so remarkable. And I hope you’ll join us in our unyielding effort to nurture as a community the dynamic environment that we all get to benefit from here at PCDS.

Let’s go, Eagles!

Yellott Faculty Grant Program

A Playground Reimagined: LS’s Natural Playscape Takes Shape

In August 2023, LS teachers Ashley Rodrigues, Kat Glaeseman, and Pauline Fleming were awarded a PCDS Yellott Grant to transform the LS playground. Their vision: to create a research-inspired, nature-infused space that supports children’s physical development, autonomy, and confidence through active, dynamic play.

The teachers’ grant proposal emphasized the importance of balance and movement, allowing students to challenge themselves, problem-solve, and become more self-reliant through low-stakes risk-taking. For example, the new design created more opportunities

for vigorous movement, climbing hills, and navigating uneven terrain. The team collaborated with colleagues to design a space that encourages exploration, resilience, and self-awareness.

“ I’m incredibly thankful to have been part of the creation of our new LS playground—a space designed with intention. Seeing the children’s joy, confidence, and growth as they climb, swing, and explore affirms how deeply meaningful this work has been.”

—Ashley Rodrigues, Teacher

This redesigned environment is more than a playground—it’s a developmental tool. Research confirms that adventure play fosters self-trust, problem-solving, and gross motor skills while also promoting cooperation, empathy, and social learning. Children learn to take age-appropriate risks and navigate boundaries independently, building confidence and reducing anxiety.

The space also enables play groups for older students to mentor younger ones, promoting leadership and community.

To inform their vision, the teachers conducted a yearlong research process, visiting other schools, consulting with early childhood experts, and gathering feedback from the PCDS LS community. They also engaged deeply with the broader educational conversation around risk-positive play, drawing from a wide array of books, podcasts, articles, and design sources.

Their research included books like Adventures in Risky Play by Rusty Keeler and Balanced and Barefoot by Angela Hanscom, both of which argue that physical challenge and unstructured outdoor time are essential for children’s motor development, sensory integration, and emotional well-being. Podcasts such as Let Grow and The New Schools offered insights into rethinking modern parenting and education norms, especially the benefits of giving children more independence.

The team reviewed articles and white papers on topics such as rough-and-tumble play, big body movement, and the developmental need for calculated risk, including resources from Boston University, The Guardian, and educational publications focused on early learning. They also studied visual and environmental inspiration from sources like Earth Artist and Kompan Nature Play to understand how physical design can spark imagination and physical engagement.

The collective takeaway from this research was clear: adventure-based, nature-rich play environments are not merely recreational—they are essential for developing capable, confident, and socially aware children.

“ We began this project to foster confidence, encourage healthy risk-taking, and reduce anxiety in our students through play. We never imagined it would evolve into a playground that brings those goals to life.”

—Kat Glaeseman

With this research as a foundation, the teachers approached Director of Operations Tim Mitten with ideas including a slide into the wash and new hills for climbing.

LS students honored the team with a surprise celebration— including cake and a LEGO model of the new playground.

It soon became clear that a full renovation was possible through an exciting collaboration between the operations team, the teachers, and Head of Lower School Curtis Fee.

“We spent a lot of time looking into playgrounds that really let children figure out their own comfort levels when it comes to assessing, evaluating, and challenging themselves whilst on the playground. They’ve gone from being a bit unsure to becoming these strong, determined little ones who test their limits every single day.”

—Pauline

Fleming

Once a plan was devised, the PCDS Facilities Planning Committee reviewed and unanimously supported the project following a comprehensive presentation by the teachers about the benefits the new playscape would provide our students. Construction began in summer 2024, utilizing the talents of the PCDS maintenance and operations team.

New features include:

• A large play structure with rope climbing, walkways, monkey bars, and a slide

• A treehouse and six-foot climbing wall

• Musical fence, water sluiceway, and rope course

• Wobble board, drums, spin seat, horizontal bars

• Two play hills (one with a concrete tunnel), six new trees, and additional plants

• A new LS garden, turf, fresh sand, and a metal fence and gate

• Four new swing sets

Phase 2 will introduce a slide into the wash and a new sports court.

The new LS playground is already inspiring confidence, creativity, and connection in the lives of students each day—proof that when play is treated as essential learning, incredible things can grow.

Campus Construction Update

The Ahsan Center for Excellence in the Creative & Performing Arts

In the last edition of The Bridge magazine we shared news of the September 2024 groundbreaking ceremony for the Ahsan Center for Excellence in the Creative & Performing Arts, set to open in January 2026.

The Ahsan Center is the first and largest component of the $40 million Play On! Capital Campaign. This new 600seat facility will feature a costume lab, large scene shop, two side stages flanking the main stage, dressing and makeup rooms, and a lighting and sound booth integrated into the ground floor of Salter Performance Hall.

In the next edition of The Bridge we will share news of the September 2025 groundbreaking for the second phase of the Campaign—Reese House for Music, Art & Theater—an 11,000 square foot classroom building that will be built on the site of the Music Building that served PCDS for 40 years.

A New Tribute in the Shepard Welcome Center

PCDS Legends Wall

A new installation in the Shepard Welcome Center honors PCDS faculty and staff who have dedicated 20 or more years of full-time service since the School’s founding in 1961. These individuals, now celebrated as “PCDS Legends,” were recognized during a special ceremony held in their honor.

SIXTH ANNUAL TALLEY SOCIETY STATE OF THE SCHOOL BREAKFAST

This past April, PCDS welcomed a record number of members of The Honorable Mae Sue Talley Society to the sixth annual State of the School breakfast. The Talley Society is comprised of donors whose cumulative lifetime giving to PCDS is $25,000 or more and includes current and past parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends of the School.

In its traditional event location—a tent on Founders’ Lawn—over 100 members gathered for a breakfast featuring welcome remarks by Board of Trustees President Martin Felli and Head of School Andy Rodin, both of whom spoke to specific health measures and highlights of the School.

A featured topic this year was the importance of a strong athletics program to the life of a school. A panel featuring Athletic Director Shane Lewis and the Lower, Middle, and Upper School Division Heads Curtis Fee, Ben Sullivan, and Lynetta Binger reflected on the key role of team sports and physical fitness in their own personal development, while also speaking to the benefits of athletics and fitness within our School.

Lastly, an impressive senior student-athlete panel spoke about what has made PCDS special for them as they prepare to head off to their chosen universities, including University of San Diego, Claremont McKenna, University of Virginia, and Northwestern University.

Spring Independent Studies

US students chart their own course outside the classroom

This semester, 38 US students participated in the Independent Study Program, through which students design, in consultation with a faculty advisor, an academic course or research study covering material not offered within the regular curriculum. Students submit an extensive proposal to US administration for approval and document their progress throughout the semester. The study culminates in a presentation of the highlights of their work to US students and faculty.

“ I greatly enjoy working with students on Independent Studies because I get to witness the student’s growth beyond the project itself. I often encourage students to engage and collaborate with experts, explore primary sources, and consider how they could practically expand the scope of their work. Independent Studies uniquely transform personal curiosity into meaningful academic and career pathways.”

US Spring Musical: The SpongeBob Musical

by Jiya Mutyala ’25

This year’s musical, The SpongeBob Musical, is a lighthearted yet adventurous comedy based on the popular kids show SpongeBob SquarePants that transported its audience into the lively underwater depths of Bikini Bottom. The plot follows SpongeBob SquarePants (Grace Smith ’26), a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, who is trying to save his hometown of Bikini Bottom from the impending deadly explosion of nearby volcano Mount Humongous. SpongeBob, while undertaking his heroic quest with best friend Patrick Star (Marin Weiland ’28) and genius squirrel Sandy Cheeks (Raya Stern ’28),

proves that he is more than “just a simple sponge”, defying the doubts of his boss, Eugene Krabs (Sharvi Chaurasia ’26). We meet the colorful residents of Bikini Bottom as they each process the impending doom, such as Squidward Tentacles (Jiya Mutyala ’25) and his dream of stardom, Pearl Krabs (Siena Roach ’25) and her wish to meet famed band the Electric Skates, and Sheldon J. Plankton (Rollin Sabeeh ’29) with his computer wife Karen (Aila Kaibara ’25) and their plan to hypnotize Bikini Bottom into enjoying their chumbased food.

The SpongeBob Musical is a tale of self-discovery, community exclusion, reclaiming lost love, and bravery in the face of adversity.

Grace Smith ’26, Aila Kaibara ’25, Rollin Sabeeh ’29

Though it might seem shallow and cartoonish, The SpongeBob Musical (written by Kyle Jarrow and with songs by artists including Cyndi Lauper and John Legend) is so much more. The musical takes twodimensional cartoon characters and reimagines them as multifaceted characters with depth, complexity, and distinct struggles of their own. Act 2 explores how each character copes with the crisis of Mount Humongous in their own way, all too self-absorbed to understand that the true way to save their town is with each other, not through finding someone to blame.

As a student in the PCDS Stagecraft course and the actress playing the role of Squidward, I was able to witness just how much work this production required behind the scenes and in the spotlight. And as a participant in the last PCDS musical to be held in Dorrance Auditorium, I was able to more clearly see just how generous the building had been.

This production was made possible by a plethora of eternally patient figures, especially Mr. Burns and Ms. Harris. No one would expect The SpongeBob Musical to have three-part harmonies and sustained soprano notes, but Ms. Harris was up for the challenge, coaching us through difficult company numbers and assisting us with solo parts. In doing a musical with lots of moving

parts, Mr. Burns had to constantly adapt the production to best suit our abilities. The SpongeBob Musical teaches viewers the importance of community, second chances, and reminds us of the simple fact that sometimes, all we need is a helping hand.

I am beyond happy that my last production with PCDS was such a fun, bubbly, and lighthearted musical. The SpongeBob Musica l reminded me of why I loved live theater and singing, and I would like to thank everyone involved in this absolutely amazing production.

MS Play: A Midsummer Night of Shakespeare

by Keith Burns, Director of Arts

Challenge accepted! MS thespians took on the challenge of performing Shakespeare in this year’s MS play entitled A Midsummer Night of Shakespeare. This adaptation of the classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream was inspired in large part by the 8th graders doing so well in learning Shakespearean scenes in the 8th Grade Arts Rotation Theater class, taught by Ms. Elizabeth Broeder, who directed this production. She was so impressed with how well students mastered the difficult language and found clarity in their character’s nuances that she had confidence they could handle a full Shakespearean play.

Our production was edited to be an hour, including a monologue from Hamlet which served as a sort of introduction. It entertained with a fast-paced, colorfully designed showcase of live theater. Rehearsals took place for weeks during lunch hours and after school. The US Stagecraft class helped build sets and props, and hung colorful drapes of glittery fabric which created a visually stunning interplay with saturated lighting (designed by US Technical Director Jacob Nichols). Truly, this

was a beautiful sample of visual art as well as an engaging piece of theater created by talented students.

In addition to the actors performing on stage, a team of MS students worked in the tech booth to run the complicated array of light cues and sound effects. Likewise a backstage student crew kept things moving by efficiently executing set changes, and practical effects from the stage and the wings. This was a very well done production which captured the audience’s imagination, but more importantly it was a dynamic learning experience for the students to learn by engaging in collaboration, creativity, interpretive expression, and difficult text analysis.

William would be proud!

PCDS Speech & Debate Celebrates Historic Season

by Brittany Stanchik, Director of US and MS Speech & Debate

As the 2024–25 season concludes, the Speech & Debate team reflects on a record-breaking spring marked by standout performances across both MS and US.

MS Highlights

The MS team launched into a full slate of competitions in January, earning finalist recognition at every tournament of the semester. Notably, at the prestigious Harvard tournament, Adhiyanth Ram ’29 and Lara Perumbeti ’29 secured a 3rd place finish in the Congress sweepstakes—despite being the only two representing PCDS. Lara also made history as the first PCDS MS student to place in the top 6 at Harvard in Congressional Debate.

Several students stepped up to high school-level competition, including Adhiyanth Ram ’29, who advanced at a Tournament of Champions (TOC) bid tournament—an unprecedented achievement for a middle schooler.

US Achievements

US competitors also made history. Sameer Khan ’25 became the first Congressional Debater from Arizona invited to the Harvard Round Robin. Ross Wheeler ’27 and Caden Huckelbridge ’27 closed out the Arizona State HDSHC Invitational and later advanced to finals at the national Tournament of Champions—an impressive feat for underclassmen.

With an extraordinary year behind them, the team looks ahead to the 2025–26 season—just weeks away.

At the Middle School State Tournament, Neriah Safir ’29 was crowned State Champion in Storytelling. Other accolades included:

• 3 semi-finalists in Storytelling: Audrey Allen ’31, RC Guruswamy ’31, Nuria Singh ’30

• 4th in Congressional Debate: Lara Perumbeti ’29

• 5th in Declamation: Ana Young ’30

• 6th in Impromptu Speaking: Rakeb Gebresillasie ’29

• 2 Impromptu semi-finalists: Rohan Batheja ’29, Neriah Safir ’29

The team earned 4th place overall in state sweepstakes.

At the Arizona Division II State Tournament, the US team earned 3rd place, with:

• 1 quarterfinalist team

• 2 semi-finalists

• 6 finalists

• 6 runners-up

• State Champions Nationals Success

At the 2025 NSDA National Tournament in Des Moines, MS students continued to shine:

• Semi-finalists: Neriah Safir ’29 (Impromptu), Lara Perumbeti ’29 (Congressional Debate)

• National Finalist: Adhiyanth Ram ’29 (Congressional Debate)

US competitors also made their mark:

• Octa-finalists in Duo Interpretation (Top 60 nationwide): Sid Vadnerkar ’26, Aaryan Wadwekar ’26

• Quarter-finalist in Program Oral Interpretation: Tara Ghafouri ’27

• Semi-finalists in Congressional Debate: Emilio Saenz ’28, Caden Huckelbridge ’27

• Sameer Khan ’25 closed out his Congressional Debate career at the Iowa State Capitol, placing 14th nationally.

Established in 1994, the Loback Family Chair for History is awarded every three years to an outstanding member of the history department.

MESSAGE FROM THE ALUMNI BOARD PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Eagle Alumni,

As my first year as President of the Alumni Board comes to an end, I am proud of all that we have accomplished together.

We’ve had many successful events throughout the spring, including alumni gatherings in San Diego, Boston, and New York, community service events, the Elizabeth Diaz ’04 book and author event, the Alumni Masters’ Lecture featuring Liz Olson, and of course Alumni Spring Weekend, including Alumni of the Year and Athletic Hall of Fame honors, a Welcome Reception and Reunions. With so much generous support, we have exceeded our fundraising goals, raising $160,837 for

student scholarships. This would not be possible without so many of you!

Our networking platform, PCDS:Connect, continues to grow, and our Alumni Internship program is thriving. Six internships were awarded this summer across three different companies around the valley. We are working to enhance this program every year. If you or someone you know is interested in hosting an internship in the future, please get in touch with me.

We currently have two open seats to join the Alumni Board. It is a fantastic way to give back to our alma mater. Please let Alumni Director Leslie Feldman know if you would like more information.

Thank you all for a wonderful year. I look forward to seeing many of you in the fall.

Go Eagles!

The Allison Family: 2025 Outstanding Alumni of the Year

Honoring a Legacy of Leadership, Service, and Excellence

Since 1990, the PCDS Alumni Association has recognized alumni whose lives exemplify service to others, professional achievement, and a deep and lasting commitment to Phoenix Country Day School. This year, we were proud to name the Allison Family as the 2025 Outstanding Alumni of the Year—a multigenerational family whose dedication to PCDS has helped shape the School’s identity and future for more than six decades.

At a celebratory luncheon on April 25, 2025, the PCDS community gathered to honor the Allisons—not only for their decades-long support and leadership but for the remarkable family legacy that continues to leave its mark on the School.

From left: Anne Allison ’96, Kristin Allison Combs ’90, Kenneth Allison, Sr., Dr. Becky Allison, Dr. Kenneth Allison, Jr. ’93

From governance and philanthropy to teaching and learning, the Allison family’s presence has been constant and invaluable. As the School has grown and evolved, so too has their role in ensuring its continued success.

Founding Vision

The story begins with Rex L. Allison , whose vision helped lay the foundation for Phoenix Country Day School as one of its eight Founding Trustees. Rex served as President of the Board from 1964 to 1966 during the School’s earliest and most formative years. Already a trailblazer in the world of business—having served as Director and Senior Vice President of Allied Stores in the Pacific Northwest and later as Founding Director of Continental Bank of Phoenix—Rex brought both entrepreneurial vision and practical acumen to the founding of PCDS.

His impact on American retail was transformative. As a driving force behind the creation of the world’s first regional shopping center, Rex’s pioneering ideas changed the landscape of 20th-century commerce. That same spirit of innovation and commitment to excellence would shape his work on the PCDS Board.

A Legacy of Excellence

Together with his wife Genevieve, Rex Allison established the Rex L. Allison Chair for Excellence in Teaching in 1988—the School’s first endowed faculty chair. This distinction remains one of the highest honors bestowed upon a PCDS faculty member, recognizing outstanding educators who embody the highest standards of teaching and mentorship.

Their daughters, Gen Allison Griffin ’72 and Geri Allison ’75, became proud PCDS alumnae, continuing the family’s deep-rooted connection to the School.

That legacy of service carried on through Rex’s son, Ken Allison, who served on the PCDS Board of Trustees for two separate decade-long terms. His influence stretched across the Information Technology and Construction Committees, and as Vice President of Buildings and Grounds, he played a key role in the transformation

of the LS and MS facilities. Rex and Ken’s respective leadership roles made them the first father-son duo to serve on the PCDS Board—an enduring symbol of their family’s generational impact.

An Enduring Presence on Campus

Ken and his wife, Dr. Becky Allison , deepened the family’s ties to PCDS even further. Becky, affectionately known to students as Dr. Allison, joined the US faculty in 1995 and quickly became a beloved English teacher, respected mentor, and department chair. Her influence in the classroom has inspired hundreds of students, and her presence on campus continues to embody the Allison spirit of intellectual curiosity and kindness.

Ken and Becky’s three children— Kristin ’90, Kenneth Jr. ’93, and Anne ’96 —each passed through the halls of PCDS, making their own marks as student leaders, scholars, and athletes. They have since gone on to forge impactful careers across a variety of fields, united by a shared foundation built at PCDS.

A Family Rooted in Service

The Allisons’ story is not one of isolated accomplishments but of a sustained, meaningful relationship with the School they helped build. From governance and philanthropy to teaching and learning, their presence has been constant and invaluable. As the School has grown and evolved, so too has the Allison family’s role in ensuring its continued success.

Though their professional paths and personal journeys have taken them far and wide, the Allisons remain bonded by a common ethos—one grounded in service, generosity, and a belief in the power of education to transform lives. The PCDS Alumni Association is honored to recognize the Allison Family as the 2025 Outstanding Alumni of the Year—a fitting tribute to a family that has shaped the past, present, and future of Phoenix Country Day School.

2025 Athletic Hall of Fame

Induction Honors Three Eagles Sports Legends

This year’s 2025 Athletic Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was a powerful reminder of what passion, talent, and perseverance can achieve. Held in front of an audience of alumni teammates, students, coaches, and families, the event celebrated three of the most accomplished athletes in the history of our school: Kimer Wadsworth Butler ’80, Heather Lee ’00, and Patrick Taylor ’10. Each inductee left an indelible mark on their sport and helped lay the groundwork for the high standards of excellence that define our athletics program today.

A Lasting Legacy

The 2025 Hall of Fame inductees are more than just remarkable athletes—they are the embodiment of what it means to compete with heart, to lead with integrity, and to leave a legacy that lifts others. As current and future students look up to these icons, one thing is clear: the bar has been set high, and the foundation they built continues to support the dreams of athletes yet to come.

Congratulations to Kimer Wadsworth Butler, Heather Lee, and Patrick Taylor on your well-deserved induction. Your legacy lives on in every Eagle athlete who has come after you.

The Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes outstanding alumni athletes and coaches who excelled during their time at PCDS. The annual Athletic Hall of Fame Induction solidifies a sense of pride and tradition for our School and our Eagle athletics community.

A Hall of Fame athlete:

• Has made a significant impact on the PCDS athletic program

• Has been recognized locally, regionally, statewide, and even in some cases, nationally

• Represents the highest values of our School and our athletic program: A person of character, leadership, and dedication

• Exemplifies the values set forth in our Pursuing Victory with Honor program: Trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship

Patrick Taylor ’10 and Kimer Wadsworth Butler ’80 at the 2025 Athletic Hall of Fame Induction

Kimer Wadsworth Butler ’80: A Triple-Threat Pioneer

When it comes to athletic legacy, few can match the accomplishments of Kimer Wadsworth Butler. A standout in an astonishing five sports—Volleyball, Basketball, Softball, Swimming, and Water Polo—Kimer’s name is synonymous with excellence and versatility.

She was a four-year star in Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball, earning AllState honors and being named Most Valuable Player in each sport. Her dedication and dominance culminated in her senior year, when she was voted the school’s Most Outstanding Female Athlete. Even beyond the playing field, Kimer’s commitment and spirit helped shape the foundation of our athletic culture. Her ability to lead across multiple disciplines still inspires athletes decades later.

Heather Lee ’00: Champion in the Water

From the moment she hit the pool, Heather Lee made waves. Recognized as one of the greatest female swimmers in school history, Heather brought fierce determination, boundless enthusiasm, and a tireless work ethic to every practice and meet. Her passion for swimming translated into remarkable achievements, including three straight years as the team’s Most Valuable Female Swimmer.

Heather’s senior year was a crowning moment, as she was honored by the entire coaching staff as Female Athlete of the Year. Her legacy includes state titles in the 50 Free, 200 Free, and 500 Free events—a trio of victories that still stand as a testament to her talent and tenacity. Heather didn’t just win races; she redefined what excellence looked like in the water.

Patrick Taylor ’10: Dominance on the Court

Few athletes have commanded a tennis court the way Patrick Taylor did during his time at PCDS. With a serve that seemed unstoppable and a competitive spirit that never waned, Patrick built a reputation as a player to be feared and admired.

Over his career, Patrick collected three team MVP awards, three Singles Region Championships, and two State Singles Championships. He capped off his extraordinary senior season by being named the 2010 Region Player of the Year and receiving the school’s prestigious Athletic Prize for superior achievement in tennis. Perhaps most notably, Patrick was the driving force behind his team’s three consecutive State Championships—a feat that still resonates in our school’s athletic lore.

Golden Circle 2025

Inducting the Class of 1975

We were thrilled to induct the Class of 1975 into the PCDS Golden Circle in May. Graduates from the classes of 1965 through 1975 enjoyed a cocktail reception and State of the School address from Head of School Andy Rodin before leading the procession of the Class of 2025 at US Graduation.

The PCDS Golden Circle is an honorary group of all classes celebrating their 50th reunions. Each year on US Graduation day, the members of the Golden Circle wear

gold robes and cross the Daley Bridge, leading that year’s newest alums to their graduation. During the ceremony, Golden Circle members receive special recognition and an open invitation to return each year to welcome new inductees and to march during commencement, reminding our current families and all others in attendance that PCDS enjoys a vibrant history.

Class of 1976—mark your calendars for Thursday, May 28, 2026, as we welcome you into this illustrious group.

Here’s what some of our alumni have been up to…

1988

Gary Linhart moved back to Phoenix in 2002 with Julie and their two sons, Zachary ’19 and Matthew ’21. Both boys attended PCDS. Zachary, a 2023 graduate of University of Wisconsin, recently moved to San Francisco from Chicago to join venture-backed, AI customer service startup Decagon. Matthew recently graduated from University of Georgia, Terry College of Business, with a dual major in real estate and finance. Gary says, “It has been fun to see how far PCDS has come since I entered the school in 1984 as a freshman. Whether looking at the growth of the infrastructure and academic offering of the School, PCDS’s position in the local community, or the organization of the alumni network, it is clear that PCDS has really come of age. It’s hard to believe I’m that old guy now in the alumni magazine talking about the bygone days of my freshman year when JV basketball games were played outside.”

After 15 years as a foreign correspondent and editor at the Financial Times, Peter Spiegel has been named managing editor of the Washington Post, overseeing the news organization’s coverage of American politics and the nation more broadly—including national security, immigration and the U.S. economy. In this new role, he is also responsible for the Post’s local, business and technology news departments. Peter, his wife Laura

1989

Michelle Rotman Jassem tells us, “As always, there is a lot going on here in NYC! I feel grateful that so many of you pass through town and reach out. This year I visited with fellow classmates Amy Levine, Patsy Kauffman, Kari Hubbard, Bennett Dorrance and Miko McGinty (who also lives in NYC). My two girls, Piper and Crosby, are both in college and Corey and I have rebranded being Empty Nesters to being Free Birds which we feel more accurately describes how we feel! This fall I had the privilege of taking a day trip to Phoenix and campaigning on the Reproductive Freedom Bus with the Harris/Walz campaign, where, as this small world would have it, I met a friend of Roz Bolger Abero ’89. Somehow, I missed fellow PCDS alum Stephanie Hackett ’91 at the rally. This winter we spent a lot of time in Telluride which brings back funny memories of the class ski trip we took many years ago. I keep busy copywriting for a delightful company called Pink Chicken and doing advocate work for Every Mother Counts and Cookies for Kids Cancer. If you find yourself in NYC or Telluride please reach out. I would love to catch up.”

1989

Kirsten Gormly Ghaster writes, “I feel so blessed to have been able to attend PCDS for so many reasons. Firstly, the college prep and college counseling there was amazing. It helped me to stay focused on the things I would need to accomplish in order to get into the school I wanted. Working with Schweik was a joy. Second, I had the best teachers…from Madame Jacques to Mr. Martin to Mr. Kidder—it just doesn’t get any better. Thirdly, I loved going to School each day which says a lot at that age. The class of ’89 was the most fun group of people! Several are still my closest friends. My life may have had a whole different trajectory if it were not for my parents seeing the value of PCDS. Since PCDS, I graduated from Occidental College as a double major in History and Diplomacy & World Affairs. I spent my last semester abroad living in Egypt and Israel which was a life long dream of mine. After graduation, I stayed in LA and was offered a position as an economist with a the well respected firm. They trained this history major to be an Expert Witness in Economics and I testified many times in California Superior Court on economic damages. I moved to New York for a bit and moved back to Arizona in 2001. I met my husband, Brad, here shortly thereafter and we have been married for 20 years. We own a commercial painting business. Brad already had a family of five kids so I have had the honor of being a bonus mom to these wonderful humans and now an honorary ‘Gigi’ to the nine grandkids! We live on a little ranch we call “Second Chance Ranch”—a place where people can experience God’s love through horses. We have four horses and two dogs and are deeply involved in Thoroughbred racehorse rescue and aftercare and three of our horses are retired racers. We also are involved in racing and have two horses who run at Santa Anita and Del Mar. If

anyone wants to have a day at the races this summer, let me know, I would be happy to get you tickets. Much of this beautiful life I have now I can honestly say PCDS played a part in creating. It is a very special place.”

Greg Lehmann reports, “When I graduated, I never thought I’d return to Phoenix, let alone be back at PCDS. But in 2005 my wife, Jessica, and I moved from NYC to Phoenix and it’s been great. We are the proud parents of three PCDS students—Oliver ’24, Felix ’28, and Adrian ’31. Spending a lot of time on campus—between kids’ sporting events and school activities— reminds me of my time at PCDS and how much the school has grown and changed over the years.”

After graduating from PCDS, Amanda Idema went to Wheaton College in MA and Michigan State University to earn a master’s degree in Student Affairs Administration. She reports, “I intended to go back to MA, but I ended up staying just a bit longer in Michigan. I met my husband, Steve, through our summer job (we got married in 2002) and had our amazing daughter, Maddie, in 2011. I earned my Ph.D. in Higher Education in 2005, and currently serve as the Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Studies at the

Michigan State University College of Engineering. Our lives are full and busy, as Maddie is a two sport athlete (softball and basketball) so our weekends are usually spent at tournaments with our sports families. She will be starting high school in the fall, so I anticipate things will move even faster in the coming years.

1999

Since her time at PCDS, Sasha Borsand Glassman has gone on to receive a BA, MA, MBA and law degree and now practices as Assistant General Counsel at a global, publicly traded company in the Valley.

He continues to practice constitutional and appellate law and works with attorneys general in other states. He tells us, “My passion is raising my three kids, Abby (10), Nathan (8), and Charlotte (6), with my wife, Jo Schumacher. Abby wants to be a marine biologist, Nathan wants to be an engineer, and Charlotte wants to be an artist. Keeping them busy is a full time job, and even though they don’t currently attend PCDS, the experiences I had at PCDS inform my parenting and the values that I try to instill in them. I also enjoy bumping into PCDS friends at kids’ activities, including Tiffany Westlie Pondelik ’00 at gymnastics and Jasmine Tashman ’97 at soccer. I also enjoy seeing (and hearing the amazing piano playing of) Michael Rector ’00 and his family when they visit Phoenix each year and recently reconnecting with Clay Pell ’00, who is detailed to the United Nations. My brother, Andru Roysden ’07, and his wife, Caitlin, moved back to Phoenix a few years ago from Seattle, and I enjoy seeing them and their two young daughters. My parents are doing well (especially given my dad celebrated his 80th this year and has some physical mobility issues). It was great seeing many of you at the reunion and I hope to connect with more of you soon!”

struggling with digestive issues for most of my life—and realizing how many other women were silently dealing with the same—I launched Let Loose (takeletloose. com), a gut health brand on a mission to break the taboo around constipation and empower women to feel better in their bodies. We blend humor, science, and clean, effective ingredients to make digestive care feel less clinical and more approachable. We launched our first product, a natural daily laxative capsule, about six months ago and have seen rapid growth ever since. Our second product, a daily tribiotic designed to repopulate the gut and relieve bloating, is launching soon. I’m excited to keep building a brand that’s not afraid to talk sh*t—and make a meaningful impact in the gut health space.”

Giving at PCDS

Thank you to our generous families, alumni, faculty, staff, Trustees, and friends of the School for supporting PCDS during the fiscal year July 2024–June 2025.

Because of your contributions, we continued to elevate our efforts to provide an exceptional education and outstanding opportunities for students from Pre-k through 12th grade . Your belief in our mission and dedication to our community made a real difference in the lives of our students, faculty, and staff.

Talley Society

Lifetime giving of $25,000+

The Honorable Mae Sue Talley Society recognizes donors throughout School history whose cumulative giving to PCDS equals $25,000 and above, directed to any area of the School. Mae Sue Talley was the visionary leader who spearheaded the creation of PCDS as the Valley’s premiere independent school in 1961. A prominent Phoenix philanthropist and Arizona leader who passed away in 2017, Mrs. Talley, along with her husband Franz, served among the School’s original founders. The Talley Society recognizes the School’s most supportive donors throughout our history.
