FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Dear families, alumni, grandparents, and friends, Each summer I enjoy writing this letter because I have time to reflect. The school year is exciting and stimulating, but certainly fast paced. The challenge I find each year, though, is choosing between any number of ways to sum up the experience of an entire school year.

It’s a given that I will want to share my impressions of the three commencement exercises that conclude the year and my continual amazement at our students’ written and verbal presentation skills. Sharing the cumulative accomplishments of the graduates of 2014 comes to mind as well. Academically, this class was quite talented, as evidenced by their excellent college admissions. Over 60 percent of the class was offered merit scholarships to attend various colleges, and they will be attending 48 different colleges and universities in 21 different states and two countries. This class was also truly committed to taking responsibility for their own education outside of Rowland Hall. In the sidebar on the following page you’ll read about just a few of the opportunities they participated in during their high school years.

In this annual report, you’ll also read about the accomplishments of a few of our recent alumni. This year, we believe, more Rowland Hall alumni are simultaneously attending medical school at the University of Utah than at any other time. It’s interesting, especially in a year when we have talked so much about the need for more opportunities for our students in math and science instruction and out-of-classroom opportunities, to take a moment to realize how well many of our alumni have done in those areas of study. I know you will enjoy reading about these alumni and their insights into their medical school experiences and also what they gleaned from their Rowland Hall years. They offer some sage advice for current Rowland Hall students too.

At the end of the school year, we emailed a survey to all our current families. It was gratifying to see that 87 percent of those who answered felt that Rowland Hall had either met or exceeded their expectations this year. While that’s a satisfying statistic, we know we can always do better. To that end, our Board of Trustees Chair Richard Badenhausen and trustee Akemi Louchheim led a successful strategic planning process this year that resulted in three goals, two of which will directly improve our academic program. In the midst of the digital revolution, we have never felt more compelled to evaluate our program and pedagogy and to thoughtfully adapt to better equip students for careers we could not even imagine just five years ago. You’ll hear more about the finalized strategic plan this fall.

It is an exciting time to be an educator at Rowland Hall. I welcome your suggestions and insights as we continue to help our students feel confident and successful as adaptable, competent learners.

Sincerely, Alan Sparrow Head of School

From the Chair of the Board of Trustees On May 8, 2014, the board of trustees approved an exciting new strategic plan. While our previous plan focused on marketing and branding, this blueprint concentrates on our core product: the outstanding learning experience inside and outside the classroom.

Importantly, the board reaffirmed the school’s current mission and core values: passion for learning, academic excellence, ethical development, spirit of service, and diversity of community. With that solid foundation in place, we turned our attention to helping students and faculty take advantage of the current research on how learning best occurs.

The current strategic plan contains three goals, the first of which focuses on “enhancing the student learning experience.” We want to create a culture in which our outstanding faculty is encouraged to explore new pedagogies supported by current research. One example of this is the newly established endowment to fund the Julie Barrett Teaching and Learning Fellow. This fund honors the contribution of a retiring, longtime associate head by underwriting the annual visit of a master teacher to work with our faculty. I’m pleased to say that contributions from current and past board members and other friends have already exceeded $182,000.

The second goal is to “provide the most outstanding math and science educational program in the Intermountain West.” Our rapidly changing, technology-dependent world demands that Rowland Hall helps students develop more robust skills in math and science, technology, and engineering through a variety of engaging curricular programs. While we will always maintain our long-standing commitment to educating the whole child and offering an incomparable learning experience in the humanities, arts, and athletics, the school looks forward to developing new opportunities for students in these key curricular areas.

Finally, the board will adopt “a financial philosophy and budgeting model that fully funds the finest, PreK-12, educational program while acknowledging the financial pressure tuition places on our families.” We are sensitive to these pressures and so we will examine our enrollment model and endowment policies to ensure we continue to focus on value.

A wide variety of talented and committed individuals were involved in this strategic planning process over the past year, including the school’s faculty and staff, the board of trustees, and parents. Employees and volunteers devoted literally hundreds of hours to the crafting of this plan and I want to thank them for that fine work.

Change is hard but ultimately necessary if educational organizations are to remain vibrant. It will be important that we as parents give teachers time to experiment, and that we are patient and support faculty as they engage in some of these new innovative approaches to learning that are such an important feature of colleges and universities around the country. Not everything will work 100% of the time, but we certainly want our teachers modeling for our children how to take risks and how to succeed when challenged.

The board looks forward to rolling out exciting features of this new plan in a variety of ways during the upcoming year. Look for announcements about the different ways you can participate in those conversations.

2013 - 2014 FINANCE REPORT Our incredible faculty, fine administration, and most importantly, our growing and learning children have wrapped up another successful year at Rowland Hall. Like most years, 2013-2014 was not without challenges, but as usual the Rowland Hall team adapted to the circumstances and kept the learning environment safe, productive, and financially sound. There were many big events at the school this year but I’ll focus on two, one highly visible and one less so. First, the opening of the fields at our new Steiner Campus brings great new capabilities to our physical plant. It has been a multi-year effort and I am delighted to share that the project was completed without using tuition dollars or adding a dime of debt to our balance sheet. The other event was the completion of a long-term strategic planning process. As described elsewhere in this report, the focus of our plan is the evolution of our teaching and learning environment to meet the demands of the 21st century. Yet the plan has a financial component; without adequate funding none of what we do would be possible. Below is the preamble to the financial section of the plan: “Operational planning and the budgeting process must keep pace as Rowland Hall advances its curriculum and the ways in which curriculum is delivered to students. This strategic plan redoubles our focus on the most important deliverable: the student academic experience. Our business model will continue to focus on funding a top quality college preparatory education while maintaining the financial strength of the institution. While current operations are paramount, we will also remain dedicated to our longer-term task of creating 21st century facilities and enhancing our financial strength and flexibility through endowment growth. Our success depends on continued strong enrollment. To that end we will more clearly and aggressively define and communicate the value of a Rowland Hall education to our students, parents, alumni, and the community at large.”

The Finance Committee of your board of trustees will keep this mission statement front and center as we do our part to help this wonderful institution continue to prosper well into the future.

These numbers are audited each year in August after the Annual Report press deadline. Historically, very few changes are required as a result of the annual financial audit.

* The main factor in this deficit is an additional $200,000 of financial aid over what was budgeted which allowed us to keep children at Rowland Hall who would otherwise have had to leave. In addition, in beginning our work on the strategic plan’s goal of improving an already excellent academic program, we increased our budget for faculty professional development by $60,000 this past year. Additional unexpected expenses included higher than anticipated legal, recruiting, and plant expenses. These expenses have all been accounted for in the 2014-15 budget.

TRANSITIONS Salute to Departing Trustees At this time each year we express our gratitude and fondly say good-bye to the trustees who have completed six years on the board. We thank them for their service, support, and valuable advice.

Akemi Louchheim – Home and School representative from the McCarthey Campus.

Akemi served three years as representative of the parent group and quickly became a leader on the board. She chaired several important trustee committees, including the current Strategic Planning Committee and the Rowmark Ad Hoc Committee.

Her advice with messaging and communications was invaluable, and her desire to have fun while working hard will be missed. Thank you, Akemi, for a job well done.

Akemi Louchheim

Rachel Sweet-Martin ’88 – Chair of the Alumni Association.

Rachel worked hard with the Alumni Committee creating new ideas and activities to invigorate the overall program and to increase engagement. She never missed an event, hosted events at her home, and participated with the Nominating Committee on the board. She was a valuable member of the Finance Committee. Rachel was instrumental in creating the new Campaign for the Alumni Scholarship Fund, an endowed fund that will help future generations of Rowland Hall students receive a valuable education.

Thank you, Rachel. We will miss your participation.

Thank you to our outgoing trustees for their hard work and dedication to the school.

All our students and faculty benefited from your strong efforts.

Fond Farewell to Retiring and Resigning Friends The school community celebrated the 32-year Rowland Hall career of retiring Associate Head of School Julie Barrett at a reception June 1, in the McCarthey Campus Dining Hall. Julie began her association with Rowland Hall as a parent in 1978 and was asked to join the board of trustees in 1982. Subsequently, Julie was asked to serve as the new director of development and she has never looked back. Ten years later she was asked to be assistant head of school in addition to continuing to oversee development. In 2006, she took on the duties of associate head of school full time. During Julie’s tenure, the school grew from 220 students to 930 students. As Director of Development, the first capital campaign raised the money to purchase the Lincoln Street Campus and remodel its gym, science labs, office spaces, locker rooms, and The Larimer Center for the Performing Arts. She also directed capital campaigns that made possible the construction of both the middle school wing of the Lincoln Street Campus and the McCarthey Campus. Julie’s tenacity as the school’s point person, along with the diligent work of former Board Chair Bob Steiner, made the purchase of the former Mount Olivet property possible as well as the design of the future Steiner Campus.

As he awarded the school’s highest honor to Julie, the Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s Distinguished Service Award, Head of School Alan Sparrow said, “Julie’s service to Rowland Hall has been a model for everyone who has worked and learned here for more than three decades. There is no one more caring or more committed to making this educational community a positive and productive place to learn and work.”

The distinguished Rowland Hall careers of Becky Hall and Marsha Harmon were celebrated at an after school reception on Monday, May 27. Becky Hall celebrated 28 years of teaching at Rowland Hall and a total of 40 years in education at the end of this school year. Becky has taught third through sixth grades, taught computer lab classes, and has been the McCarthey Campus librarian for the past 12 years. She has brought enthusiasm, energy, expertise, and passion to her varied assignments. She has helped create exceptional programs and touched the lives of many students, families, and colleagues. We thank Becky for all she’s done for the students and we wish her well in the coming years as she continues writing for young readers.

Marsha Harmon’s retirement ends 26 years of teaching physical education: 13 at the Avenues Campus and 13 years at the McCarthey Campus. According to Marsha, “It has been a joyful, educational, and life-changing experience to be a part of the Rowland Hall community.” The faculty and students will miss her tremendously. At the Lower School Stepping Back ceremony on June 4, the students spontaneously swarmed her and gave her an enormous group hug. We wish her well in the coming years as she continues teaching adult fitness and spends more time with her family.

Liz Paige

Liz Paige, director of service learning, is making a move at the end of her twenty-fourth year at Rowland Hall to The McGillis School where she will teach ethics and cultures to kindergarten through eighth grade students. Liz was a classroom teacher in the Middle School for many years before taking the reins of Rowland Hall’s service learning program. Because of Liz, hundreds of students have dedicated many thousands of hours of service to our community through the Beyond the Classroom program, food drives, the annual Half Day of Service event, and the Crossroads Urban Center Christmas Dinner Giveaway. These were her babies, and we promise, Liz, to take good care of them! Of her transition Liz says, “It has been an honor to work with truly great people who are inspiring teachers and friends. The greatest honor was to teach the students, our kids, these many years. Oh, how I love them! But I am excited about this new challenge and about the opportunity to contribute to a relatively new school grounded in Jewish values.” Mazel tov, dear friend!

It saddened us to bid farewell to Trace Browning, our chaplain for the past nine years, who “after much prayer and discernment over a number of months” will return to parish ministry.

We want to thank him for his service to Rowland Hall, his gracious and lovely way of interacting with students and colleagues, his chapel services, service learning direction, Taize Vespers services, spiritual guidance, and his dedication to the mission of the school. In appreciation, Trace recently wrote: “It has been a wonderful opportunity to work with you, and I am thankful to have spent this time with so many good colleagues who have vision and creativity and passion for what they do. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. To quote Dag Hammarskjöld, ‘For all that has been, thanks; for all that will be, yes.’ May God bless you with peace, joy, and strength.”

The Reverend Trace Browning

Because Liz’s and Trace’s announcements came late in the academic year, the school plans to take some time to consider the best ways to fill their shoes. We will keep the school community informed as positions are posted and search committees are formed.

Linda Leaver also retired after seven years as Head of School Alan Sparrow’s administrative assistant. Alan said in his email announcing Linda’s retirement, “I appreciate her work ethic, her commitment to the school, and her support for me both personally and as head of school.”

Linda added, “Rowland Hall is a truly special place because of the large community of wonderful people who give it life. I feel very fortunate to have been able to experience the energy and true commitment that you all bring to your work every day, and I have a tremendous amount of respect, admiration, and affection for each of you.”

Ann Till

Elizabeth Howard

Ann Till and Elizabeth Howard, who left us at the end of this year, will both be remembered as dedicated and passionate teachers who shared their love of Latin with their students. Nineteen years ago, Ann Till was hired to help implement the Latin program for all sixth graders at the Middle School, and since then she has inspired many students with her love of the language. We’ve enjoyed our colleague, Elizabeth Howard, and her high expectations of the Upper School’s Latin students for the past 12 years. Elizabeth has accepted a position at the Madeline Choir School for next year. Both of these kind, gracious women will be missed. And as Ann said in her retirement message to her colleagues, “To paraphrase Gen. Douglas MacArthur: ‘Old Latin teachers never die, they just move to Florida!’”

We also bid farewell to Dorothy Herrington, who, after 13 years at Rowland Hall teaching Eastern Civilization in the Upper School, is continuing her 29-year teaching career at The McGillis School.

Dorothy created the Eastern Civilization course from the ground up, creating a unique experience for ninth grade history students.

Erin Littlefield, a 10-year Rowland Hall veteran teacher is also leaving to pursue other opportunities. She has been a stellar member of the Beginning School’s faculty in the role of enrichment lead teacher. Many thanks to Sheri Harris, who provided a great service to Rowland Hall in the role of computer lab specialist on the McCarthey Campus, for the past six years. Sadly, Megan Ollett, after two years as an exceptionally talented second grade teacher, left us, and will begin teaching at Park City Day School this fall. We will also miss Stephanie Espinoza, who served as Becky Hall’s assistant in the library for the past four years.

Welcome, Two New Administrators In July, we welcomed new Associate Head of School Jennifer Blake and new Director of Curriculum and Instruction (DCI) Wendell Thomas. National searches were held for both positions: the associate directorship vacated by retiring Julie Barrett, and the new post of DCI, which will look at all areas of instruction, but begin by focusing on math and science this fall. Both moved to Utah to assume their new positions with Rowland Hall.

Jennifer received her B.A. in American Literature from Middlebury College and her M.Ed. in Educational Administration from Harvard. She spent the last 12 years at Marin Academy where she has been academic dean, college counseling co-director, and director of the annual fund. In addition, she taught middle school English and was director of admissions at Crystal Springs Uplands School. She has also worked in admissions and alumni affairs at both Middlebury and Mt. Holyoke colleges. She moved to Salt Lake City at the end of June with her husband, Ned White, an architect, and their seven-year-old daughter, Mackenzie.

Jennifer Blake

Wendell has a bachelor’s degree in science from Texas A & M University, a master’s degree in physiology from Colorado State University, and a master’s degree in educational administration from Purdue University Calumet. He has been a science department chair, coordinator, and teacher at four international schools (in Colombia, Venezuela, Qatar, and Belgium) and one American school. Most recently he has been science department coordinator at Colegio Nueva Granada in Bogota, Colombia. We also welcome Wendell’s wife, Terry, and their children – Jaycey, Johan, Seth, and Samuel – to the Rowland Hall community.

Please join us in welcoming Jennifer and Wendell and their families to our school community.

Wendell Thomas

Surprise NAEYC Visit As part of our Beginning School NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accreditation process, random unannounced verification visits occur. We received a visit in May NAEYC Accreditation The Mark of Quality when two trained NAEYC validators arrived to review our program. Principal Carol Blackwell is thrilled to share the results she received this summer: “Congratulations!

On behalf of NAEYC I commend your program’s outstanding efforts in maintaining NAEYC accreditation. The administration and teaching staff 16

2 013 - 2014

at Rowland Hall are to be congratulated for their continuing efforts to provide a high-quality early childhood program for young children and their families.”

We received high scores in all the assessed categories observed during the visit, with 94 percent as our average score. Some of the categories on which NAEYC programs are judged are health and safety, curriculum, teaching, assessment, physical environment, leadership and management, and community relations.

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2013-2014 Marquardt Award for Faculty Development, Upper School Assistant Principal Ryan Hoglund and Lower School Assistant Principal Linda Tatomer.

Ryan Hoglund

Linda Tatomer

The Marquardt Award was established in 2011 through a generous gift from Bob Marquardt, father of three Rowland Hall alumni and a former long-time trustee and board chair. This annual gift to our endowment funds an extraordinary professional development opportunity a faculty member proposes that will benefit the school as a whole.

Ryan and Linda’s proposal, chosen among several submitted by the faculty, allowed them to attend the NAIS Diversity Leadership Institute in Alexandria, VA in June. The Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI) is an intensive residential program that provides attendees with tools to lead and manage the shifting intercultural changes in their own school. The conference covered such topics as intercultural conflict; leading and managing diversity initiatives; dynamics of privilege and power; curriculum development that is inclusive to all; intercultural communication; and, racial, ethnic, and cultural identity.

With the guidance of Ryan and Linda, the Diversity and Inclusion Committee plans to assess the school using a metrics-exercise learned at the conference. The hope is to take this data, and results from informal surveys completed by the committee about priorities, as well as data from the faculty small dinner and dialogues that occurred last spring, to develop a more streamlined Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan, building on the Board approved action plan from 2010.

Congratulations to these two administrators on earning this prestigious honor.

Doug Wortham

Congratulations, Doug Wortham This summer, the Community Foundation of Utah designated Doug Wortham, the Upper School’s veteran French teacher, as a 2014 E-50 honoree. Each year, the foundation recognizes 50 individuals who are making a measureable – but often unsung­– difference in the lives of Utahans through innovation, collaboration, and commitment to the common good. Called the “Enlightened 50,” or E-50, members are nominated by the public. The E-50 includes recognized business and religious leaders, entrepreneurs, academics, community volunteers, journalists, leaders of nonprofits, and elected officials who: pioneer innovative and sustainable approaches to the critical issues facing Utah; demonstrate a commitment to community engagement; make a profound mark on Utah’s quality of life; and value collaboration, entrepreneurship and creativity.

IS THERE A

DOCTOR IN THE

HOUSE?

Y

es, there are lots of them! In fact, this spring we caught up with a dozen Rowland Hall alumni who are at various stages of medical school training at the University of Utah. As busy as they are, they took time out of their schedules to rally for their alma mater. We’d like to thank them all, with special appreciation to Isha Gupta for helping us coordinate this group’s schedule.

In last year’s Annual Report we featured two alumni who are pursuing degrees and careers in the medical profession. Both are attending schools in other states: Nicole Pershing ’02 in the Duke Medical Scientists Training Program, M.D./Ph.D. Program, and Lawrence Benjamin ’07 in medical school at Washington University, St. Louis. We know, too, that many more alumni study medicine at institutions in other states and around the world.

This year, we’re featuring 12 alumni who are earning their medical degrees in our own backyard at the University of Utah. With a curriculum that replicates what physicians will face in practice, a leading-edge teaching facility, and world-class interdisciplinary research program, the University of Utah School of Medicine is one of the nation’s most competitive physician training programs. In addition, the school’s master’s and doctorate programs rank among the best in the country. On top of that, the dean of the School of Medicine, senior vice president of University Health Sciences, and CEO of University of Utah Health Care is a parent at our school, Vivian Lee, so we know our alumni are in good hands.

IN their own words MEDICAL SCHOOL | What does it take and how do you get there?

The challenges and responsibilities of preparing to become a doctor are far more complex than memorizing a few thousand facts or functioning while sleep deprived – although those skills certainly help. According to our RH grads, it requires independent and critical thinking, handling the unexpected, making good decisions under pressure, and building trusting relationships.

It might come a as surprise that: •

Writing is extremely important and highly valued in medicine.

•

The Rowland Hall teachers our med students identified as most influential taught all these subjects: music, world languages, literature, sports, psychology, science, and math.

•

Just three out of 12 of our featured alumni went directly from undergrad to medical school.

•

Many important skills for success in medicine are abstract: performing, decision making, trust building, delayed gratification, and open-mindedness.

In their own words, our grads recall the knowledge and skills they learned early on that helped them through the rigorous academic and personal challenges of medical school. At Rowland Hall they learned to: advocate for themselves, apply their acquired and intrinsic knowledge to work and life, become ever more efficient and organized, appreciate their families and educational opportunities, and embody the very qualities we all seek in the physicians of the future.

2 013 - 2014

Nicholas Larsen ’01 Undergraduate degree, Colby College ’05; master’s in marine biology, James Cook University, Australia ’07 “I recommend that anyone headed for medical school take a few years off to experiment in other fields, travel, and enjoy life before launching into the rigorous program of medical school. Rowland Hall and college laid the groundwork for my academic success, and I particularly benefited from Peter Hayes’s biology classes.”

Noelle Teske ’02 Undergraduate degree, University of Notre Dame ’06 ; MSc in Psychological Research, University of Oxford in the U.K.; employed with the Sundance Institute/Sundance Film Festival for two years “I always loved science and had some great teachers at RH, including Peter Hayes, whose energy was just infectious, and Keith Pankow, who really led me to love and be confident in my abilities in more mathematical science like physics. This was invaluable for my college courses like physics and organic chemistry to get me into medical school! I didn’t decide until years later that I wanted to do medicine, but the science and math curriculum at RH definitely prepared me well. I’m actually even more grateful for the wonderful humanities preparation, as philosophy and psychology were my first academic loves, and my writing ability and analytical thinking have really served me well both in medical school and succeeding in this field.”

Michael Sotiriou ’04 Undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin ’08, worked in a dermatology lab at the U, volunteered and shadowed physicians, worked at a restaurant “I set a goal for myself to attend medical school at the University of Utah. When I was rejected my first go around it surprised and disappointed me. I had never experienced a set back of that magnitude.

It was quite eye opening, and I realized I had to work harder for this

than anything else in my life. I’m a goal oriented and driven individual, so I sought advice from the admissions office and set in motion a plan to strengthen my application. I felt research was already a strength, so I chose to focus on increasing my volunteer work and physician shadowing during my year off.

The U seeks out balanced applicants that have strengths in several categories: research, leadership, volunteer work, patient exposure, and physician shadowing in addition to the applicant’s MCAT score and GPA.” Liz Shackman ’04 Undergraduate degree from Stanford University ’08; master’s degree in biology, Stanford University ’09; worked for three years as a research assistant in the Clinical Cancer Genetics Program at Stanford, traveled “My time at Rowland Hall and Stanford definitely prepared me for the hard work of medical school. I still make the same types of study guides in med school that I started making in high school, just with 20 times more information in them.”

Natasha Kwendakwema ’05 (Not Pictured) Undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania ’05, ABC4 news intern “I first thought about becoming a doctor while on a mission trip to Peru with (RH Spanish teacher) Matt Burnett and a few students from Rowland Hall during which we got to work with physicians. After college, though, I interned at a news station because I also thought I might want to go into broadcast news. After that experience, I decided to finish my premed prerequisites and apply to medical school. My family members were great mentors for me, especially my mom, who encouraged me to apply to medical school even though I hadn’t followed a traditional route.”

Advice on preparing for medical school

by Neel Patel ’08, Lawrence University ’12 1. Learn how to write.

2. Learn how to perform (music, acting, singing, sports, writing, whatever).

3. Explore all your interests. Take a bunch of cool classes in college.

It might be the last time you’ll be able to devote 10 weeks to astronomy.

4. Constantly question whether you actually want to go into medicine.

5. Try to get some clinical experience (it’s hard to do, but do your best).

6. Don’t stress. Learn how to relax.

7. Work hard.

8. When you are working, actually work and focus. When you are taking a break, completely take a break. You’ll be more efficient that way.

9. Study abroad and learn a new language. It’ll be much harder to do that after college.

10. More than anything: be nice, be honest, and be on time.

“I played in a jazz combo all four years of college, something that would have been difficult to do at a larger state school. Just like playing a solo in a jazz combo, much of medical school is learning a new skill and then applying it right away in front of your teachers. Being comfortable with failure is the fastest way to learn, and I was able to practice that skill three times a week with my guitar.”

Chris Bossart ’05 Undergraduate degree, University of Puget Sound ’09; year off to work in a lab at the U, coach sports teams, and work in a restaurant “I have decided on emergency medicine but liked every single rotation during third year, making the decision difficult. I would suggest to RH students to do what interests them the most in college, do your best, and keep all your doors open. Medical schools prefer students who have broad interests and experiences. Rowland Hall teachers Mr. Hayes, Jo Edwards, and Coach Derek Bunting helped shape my ideas about life.”

34

Jerica Johnson ’07 Undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology, University of Utah ’11 “I just completed my third year of medical school. I want to specialize in either family medicine or internal medicine. The joy of building relationships with patients has ignited my interest in primary care.

All my classes and experiences at RH helped to reinforce my desire to understand the ‘why’ behind how the world works.”

Tim Mulvihill ’06 Undergraduate degree, BS in economics, honors BS in biological chemistry, University of Utah ’11; M.D./Ph.D. program; two years off and worked in a research lab at the U “Diane Guido is the Rowland Hall teacher who had the greatest impact on my decision to go into medicine. I had never found biology classes to be that interesting, but it was fascinating to learn about psychology and the way that people think. Advice? Make sure you follow your interests through many different fields until you find the one you love.”

Michael Chen ’08 Undergraduate degree in Exercise Science, minor in music and chemistry, University of Utah ’12 “It’s important to now why you are interested in medicine, yet keep an open mind while exploring other fields. For me, medicine is the only profession I want to go into. Doctors have told me if I am interested in anything else, then I should pursue that because of the sheer amount of training involved in becoming a physician. Also, take time to do extracurricular activities. The well roundedness of my entire class amazes me and shows me that people who want to become doctors also have lives outside the profession.”

Lindsay Hunter ’07 Undergraduate degree, Grinnell College ’11; conducted genetics research through a joint position with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Postbaccalaureate Intramural Research Training Award Program and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center “Looking back at high school, the experience that I think prepared me best for the rigors of medical school was actually Mr. Wortham’s French class. His class continues to be one of the hardest classes I have taken to date. Mr. Wortham encouraged us to push our abilities and taught us to not be discouraged by minor missteps. That mindset is vital when dealing with the challenges of medical school.”

Katie Pavia, ’08 Undergraduate degree, Wellesley College ’12; a year as a small-group interventional tutor at an inner-city middle school in Boston “There are lots of places where you can learn good content, so pick your school based on the people you’ll be spending your time with. Having the support of colleagues and family is critical to surviving and thriving in med school. I am grateful to all my RH teachers for building and fostering a love of math and science but also teaching me that the people you work with are at least as important as the content you’re learning.

Nancy Peterson, Sally Shepard, Peter Hayes, Janice DelMar, Mason Kjar, and Jo Edwards all shaped my thinking as a scientist.”

Why the U? Pursuing your academic career at the University of Utah

By Isha Gupta, Rowland Hall ’05; University of Utah ’09; University of Utah Medical School ’14 It’s funny, because if you had asked me 10 years ago about my “dream college,” it definitely would not have been the University of Utah. My dream was the typical Rowland Hall dream of a small liberal arts college.

However, by complete chance (and to this day I’m still not completely sure how), I received the Presidential Scholarship to the University of Utah. I never looked back. The Honors College at the U of U provides a small college feel with many opportunities. Being a major university has its perks: I was able to explore many majors, career choices and to excel.

After going on a service trip in Kotwara, India, with the University of Utah, I realized my true path of wanting to serve others through medicine. The University of Utah School of Medicine and its associated faculty made it easy to decide and then to navigate the complicated path of applying to medical school. With the support of my family, I made the easy decision of staying at the U for medical school. Now, in my fourth year, I can confidently say it was a wise decision. The U is a world-class institution with world-class faculty in one of the most beautiful cities and campuses in the nation. A combination I believe you can’t find anywhere else. Go, Utes!

David Marquardt

Thank You to the 2013-2014 Alumni Executive Board During the summer of 2013, the alumni office sought to reorganize, reinvigorate, and reinvent the structure of alumni leadership at Rowland Hall. This led to the formation of the Alumni Executive Board, a group of alumni volunteers who give their time to ensure that alumni continue to experience the benefits of our school community long after graduation. Led by Rachel Sweet-Martin ’88, our alumni representative on the board of trustees, the committee met several times throughout the year to discuss topics such as alumni programming, engagement of the senior class and young alumni, reunion planning and support, and fundraising for the Alumni Scholarship Fund.

Thank you to the members of the Alumni Executive Board for their hard work and vision this year: Chris Von Maack ’97, Wood Moyle ’90, Jennifer Beck Lair ’89, Christina Lau Billings ’98, Nancy Sandack Borgenicht ’60, and David Marquardt ’04. Special thanks to outgoing chair Rachel SweetMartin ’88, whose term on the board of trustees ended this year. We are happy to announce that Chris Von Maack has been selected as the alumni representative for the next three years.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SENIOR BREAKFAST The graduating class of 2014 experienced a real treat at this year’s Alumni Association Senior Breakfast at The Little America Hotel on May 28th. David Marquardt ’04 was invited to speak, and his message was humorous – he donned a cape to illustrate that people in capes tend to get your attention – as well as poignant. David, an entrepreneur and newly published author of The Four Horsemen of 20-Something Success, told our graduates to take risks, do what they love, and never let others’ negativity discourage them in the pursuit of their dreams.

He told graduates his own story of how a seemingly crazy idea when discussed with a Rowland Hall friend led to the launching of their successful and growing company, Beehive Sports. David told graduates to stay connected with each other: “You never know who the friend might be who partners with you to do something wonderful.”

We are proud to welcome the class of 2014 to the Alumni Association and wish each of them success as they pursue their passions.

ADVANCEMENT

Annual Fund

Congratulations to our outstanding Rowland Hall community on an extremely successful 2013-2014 Annual Fund campaign that raised $801,695.

This year we introduced a new 70 percent participation in 70 days campaign to our parent community. By concentrating the time spent on this crucial initiative, we sought to minimize the impact to our active families in addition to preserving time and resources. Subsequently, our ambitious challenge was answered with a resounding 79 percent parent participation!

A Rowland Hall education is defined by extraordinary programming that enriches student lives, both in and outside the classroom. Your generous contributions directly benefit each and every Rowland Hall student by enhancing science and math programs, advancing technology initiatives, and providing professional development opportunities for our talented faculty – to just name a few.

Our very sincere appreciation goes out to our ever-devoted community of parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends for your unwavering support! Thank you.

Anna and Reed Topham to Chair 2014-2015 Annual Fund We are delighted that Anna and Reed Topham will be serving as the 20142015 Annual Fund chairs. The Tophams have been members of the Rowland Hall community for eight years and have three children at the school, eighth graders Austin and Cole and fourth grader Natalie.

Anna was named to the board of trustees in 2013, and has served as a room parent, Anna and Reed Topham

participated on the Sustainability, Food Services, and the Auction Solicitations committees. Reed is a partner at Stoel Rives.

With previous experience as Annual Fund liaisons, we have no doubt that 2014-2015 will indeed be another successful year for the Annual Fund with Anna and Reed at the helm.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Annual Fund Chairs Jill and David Lang A huge thank you goes to Jill and David Lang for their unwavering support and leadership as Annual Fund chairs for the past two years. They have served as dedicated champions for the Annual Fund and have been an invaluable part of the school’s Jill and David Lang financial success.

Faculty and Staff Invest 100% Our dedicated faculty and staff understand firsthand the value of investing in Rowland Hall and our mission. Not only do they give 100% to our students each and every day but 100% also participated in the 2013-2014 Annual Fund for yet another year running.

The Julie Ashton Barrett Teaching and Learning Fellowship

Julie Barrett as a pre-school aid in1982

Shortly before Associate Head of School Julie Barrett retired this spring, a group of former and current board leaders established, through their generous donations, the Julie Ashton Barrett Teaching and Learning Fellowship endowment. As of August 1, 2014, many donors including parents, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends have contributed $189,365 to the fund, with the goal of reaching $200,000.

The fellowship will underwrite an annual visit by a master teacher or learning consultant to work closely with our teachers. Over the past two years, thanks to individual donors, Rowland Hall’s teachers have had the opportunity to learn from two master educators. In 2013, Paddy MacMahon visited all our middle and upper school math classes and

shared his expertise in mathematics education with our teachers, and more recently, Rebecca Pritchard shared her expertise with our science faculty.

During her career, Julie championed the professional development of our teachers and raised millions in donations for the enhancement of our students’ learning experience. If you would like to donate to the Julie Ashton Barrett Teaching and Learning Fellowship, you can do so online at www. rowlandhall.org/giving. What better way to leave a lasting legacy in Julie’s name and to honor her commitment and contributions to our school?

Winged Lions take the field for the first home game.

Capital Campaign Early Donors Kick Off Successful Capital Campaign; Complete Steiner Soccer Fields and Lay Groundwork for Future We hope you have taken time to stand right smack dab in the middle of the new soccer arena on the Richard R. Steiner Campus. We hear from those who have that the design and construction of the soccer fields are world class and the views are breathtaking. This is incredibly gratifying and never would have been possible without the early commitment of many generous donors led by the board of trustees.

The soccer fields were completed just in time for the boys soccer teams to take home field advantage during their 2014 spring season.

And what a season they had, finishing a heartbreaking goal away from first place in the 2A State Championship. Over 300 people came out for the Winged Lions’ first game on home turf and the kick-off party celebrating the successful fund-raising effort for this first step in the larger Steiner Campus plan.

Since then, hundreds of kids and adults have played on the fields, and held tryouts for competition soccer teams, and Rowland Hall’s pitch seems to be the envy of soccer teams around town. In fact, the principal

of East High School contacted Head of School Alan Sparrow and asked if his soccer team could play one game on our fields this fall, which we happily have arranged. When the Steiner soccer fields are not in use by our teams, we allow others on a first-come, first-served basis to use the space if they make reservations with our athletic department. And, of course, we encourage all of you to come out to cheer on our girls soccer teams this fall.

In addition to the soccer facility, grading and infrastructure for the entire site has been completed for what will one day be the future educational home for Rowland Hall students in grades six through twelve and the culmination of the dream of uniting all our students on one 23-acre campus.

We cannot express enough thanks to those in our community whose generosity and foresight began the transformation of the property next door to the McCarthey Campus.

What’s Next for the Steiner Campus?

Determined to keep the ball rolling, the board of trustees last fall commissioned detailed architectural plans from EHDD Architects for the next phase of this campaign – a new sports complex. This visionary, cost-effective green building will give Rowland Hall students a world-class indoor sports facility to match the quality of its soccer fields, and it will serve as a benchmark for the future development of the middle and upper school campus.

While the new soccer fields go a long way toward ameliorating the outdoor recreational space limitations all our middle and upper school students faced, our athletic department and Rowmark Ski Academy still confront serious constraints.

There is no doubt that all our recreational and competitive programs will improve with the completion of this wonderful space designed to LEED Gold standards that will include two gyms: a main gymnasium and a practice gymnasium, with bleacher seating to accommodate 600 and 300 spectators respectively. It will also include a one-tenth of a mile elevated indoor track (a significant enhancement for athletic training during Salt Lake Valley inversions). An up-to-date workout room will provide separate cardio and strength training areas.

The physical therapy room and locker rooms will be easily accessible and large enough to comfortably accommodate necessary equipment and personnel. Areas for offices, conferences, concessions, and storage will be available within the gym complex.

Rowmark Ski Academy is looking forward to spacious and well-equipped indoor and outdoor training facilities, their own convenient loading dock, roomy ski tuning areas; a coaches’ room, and conference areas for mental training and video reviews; in short, facilities worthy of an internationally competitive ski program. A generous $1 million gift to Rowmark has already been made to cover the cost of part of the sports complex.

46

2 013 - 2014

Positioned just north of the soccer fields, the sports complex will be highly visible and inspirational for up-and-coming elementary-aged students. To be sure, these new athletic facilities will make a statement and could significantly improve our program.

This summer, members of the development committee reached out to individuals in the Rowland Hall community to share the plans and gain a clearer picture of our fundraising capacity. The board of trustees will meet this fall to review the plans and determine how best to proceed. Should you have questions or suggestions, or if you would like to make a gift, please feel free to contact Jennifer Price-Wallin, Chair of the Development Committee, or Director of Institutional Advancement Robyn Payne, robynpayne@ rowlandhall.org.

Why Athletics First?

A natural question to ask is, “Why make infrastructure, playing fields, gyms, and Rowmark facilities, and not make construction of the Middle School and Upper School, the next step?” It’s a great question, considering that Rowland Hall’s first line of business is teaching young people to excel in math, science, the arts, and the liberal arts. But there are four good reasons why, in this case, the cart seems to come before the horse: 1.

The state of the economy, site logistics, finances, and timing all factored into the Capital Campaign Steering Committee’s decision to approach the entire $75 million (2010) Steiner Campus construction project in three distinct phases: the soccer fields and infrastructure; the indoor training, recreation, and Rowmark complex; then the most costly aspect of a building for middle and upper school students with all its attendant performance, laboratory, learning resource, administrative support, and commons spaces.

2.

The high quality of a Rowland Hall education is almost entirely attributable to its teachers and staff. Until the classroom buildings exist on the new campus, the existing Lincoln Street Campus will continue to be more than adequate for the academic and artistic instruction of our students.

“It will be awesome to have more athletic facilities of our own!

I believe it will create more interest and excitement for Rowland Hall Winged Lion athletics.”

Kendra Tomsic, Athletic Director

3.

Building the soccer fields and arena in this first phase was paramount as Rowland Hall’s city lease on the Sunnyside Fields was about to expire, and the Lincoln Street Campus was completely inadequate for our middle and upper school soccer programs.

4.

For adolescent and teenage students, you can build athletic facilities up the hill while still teaching academic subjects and arts a mile away. But it doesn’t work the other way around: to build a state-of-the-art school and then bus students to existing, inadequate athletic facilities a mile away. (In addition, proceeds from the sale of the Lincoln Street Campus will one day make it into the budget to build the Steiner Campus classrooms.) Our Athletic Director Kendra Tomsic assures us that transporting our students from Lincoln Street to the Steiner Campus for athletics is the far superior solution to their current problem of constantly searching for and booking appropriate off-campus locations for practices and competition.

A N N UAL REPORT

“This Capital Campaign will lead not only to incremental improvements but to the creation of an entirely new campus – new classrooms, performance halls, and athletic facilities. We already have a great school, but this campaign offers the opportunity to create a truly world-class institution. That’s an exciting prospect.”

Trustee Alex Bocock, since 2008, children in fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth grades

Room to Grow Thirty gardeners, many members of the Rowland Hall faculty, staff, and parent body, and some our neighbors from the Yalecrest area, dug deep and made good use of new garden plots on the north end of the Steiner Campus.

Even an Upper School Interim class took part in planting a garden this spring. Forty 5x30 foot plots were available for organic, sustainable gardening; we provided the water, everyone else provided the labor and enjoyed the fruits on their own dining room tables. The garden idea will flourish until we need this bit of land for future construction of a school for middle and upper school students. And, after that, gardening on the Steiner Campus will still be encouraged for learning and enjoyment.

Entrepreneur’s Circle Headmasters The following individuals have pledged a future gift of $50,000 or more to the school via the Entrepreneur’s Circle.

Many individuals within the Rowland Hall community, whether alumni, current parents, grandparents, or friends, have made their mark in the business world as successful entrepreneurs. To celebrate and share their knowledge and accomplishments, we formed the Rowland Hall Entrepreneur’s Circle. The idea was sparked by RH parent, Mike Levinthal, who, in volunteer work for Stanford University, participated in a similar effort.

A Threefold Mission Networking: The Entrepreneur’s Circle provides an avenue for entrepreneurial-minded people to connect with each other to discuss business ventures, brainstorm ideas, and deepen their ties within the entrepreneurial business community.

Opportunities: Circle members are committed to providing current students and alumni, as appropriate, opportunities for professional development, internships, idea sharing, and jobs. Lee Thomsen, Upper School principal, will be working with numerous Circle members as the school launches a new program called “Beyond the Classroom,” focused on expanding students’ understanding of professional job opportunities.

Giving Back: Entrepreneurs typically recognize that along the path of their success, a plethora of people played a role and offered help. Circle members believe in giving back to Rowland Hall, the school and community that offered them so much. In order to join the Circle, individuals/families must pledge a future gift to the school of a minimum of $50,000. All gifts will support the school’s endowment. Their gift is dependent upon the success of their entrepreneurial venture.

Entrepreneur’s Circle Encourages Student Involvement Upper School Interim is one of Rowland Hall’s longest and most treasured co-curricular programs. It offers students a week of experiential learning that promotes self-reliance, responsibility, and teamwork as well as an opportunity to build relationships outside school.

This year, Upper School Principal Lee Thomsen and Director of Technology Patrick Godfrey headed an interim specializing in the pursuit of innovation and entrepreneurship in which seven students spent three days at the University of Utah’s Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute.

“The challenge,” Mr. Godfrey explained, “was to identify a problem, then design and develop a pitch for a solution.”

The group met with the founders of five companies and learned how they started their businesses. The companies’ projects, origins, and objectives ranged widely. For example, Domain Surgical, designed a scalpel that both cuts and coagulates tissue; Goal Zero, produces personalized solar panel devices; and Creminelli Fine Meats began in the basement of Caputo’s Deli.

The founders or investors of each company are also members of our Entrepreneur’s Circle, a group of business owners from the school community who have pledged a percentage of their earnings to the school when and if their businesses go public. Mr. Thomsen had been looking to “connect our students in a more direct way with the generous and adventurous spirit” of these entrepreneurs.

Gary Evershed (a parent of three alumni) and Damon Kuemmel of Get Ready Room listened to the pitches and offered feedback. Mr. Thomsen said it “was exciting to see our young men and women applying their critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills to persuade business people that their solution was viable.”

According to Mr. Thomsen, this interim is a good example of the Beyond the Classroom concept “where students have opportunities to apply their learning in authentic circumstances. Entrepreneurial skills are at the heart of identifying a problem, generating a solution, collaborating with partners to turn that solution into a reality, and communicating the value of your proposition.”

One of the most valuable lessons students learned was how often first attempts fail.

“The entrepreneurs all agreed that the best product designs often come from not getting it right the first time and learning from those mistakes,” Mr. Thomsen said. “This is a hugely important lesson to instill in our young adults.”

Come One, Come All to Rowland Hall’s Le Cirque Auction Gala | Saturday, February 28, 2015 For the past 35 years, Rowland Hall has come together as a community to make our auction one of the most successful in the city. This year’s Le Cirque Gala will be on Saturday, February 28, 2015, at the Philip G. McCarthey Campus and promises to be a whimsical and elegant evening.

We are pleased to announce the date for this biennial event has been shifted from the traditional November to later in the year. After some research, we found November often conflicted with many Rowland Hall fall events, as well as other established community occasions. Additionally, February doesn’t interfere with the University of Utah football games and parking.

The auction’s Executive and Solicitation Committees have already begun preparing for what is sure to be a memorable event. Proceeds from this year’s auction will support Rowland Hall’s math and science programs and the next phase of the Steiner Campus—the Sports Complex.

We hope many of you will get involved in planning this wonderful event.

Volunteering to plan and put on the auction is a fun way to meet other parents, and attending the auction with school friends makes for a night to remember. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Hilary Gibbons at hilarygibbons@rowlandhall.org. Mark your calendar for February 28, 2015!
