Leadership Honor Roll 2019-2020

St.Andrew’s Sewanee AN EPISCOPAL BOARDING & DAY SCHOOL SINCE 1868

Cornerstone Society Mountain Society 2019-2020 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS

Your support lifts up the lives of all SAS students...

...and reaches every corner of our 550-acre campus.

A GREAT SCHOOL REQUIRES STRONG LEADERS

You Play An Essential Part In Our Students’ Success Friends, Each year, SAS is privileged to serve more than two hundred students, many of whom call our campus home. Some travel less than two and others more than 2,000 miles to come to us.

Regardless of the length of their journey, once they are on these 550-acres they understand what we mean when we say, “You Belong Here”. That is part of the magic that happens on The Mountain. Students from a variety of cultures and backgrounds learn to work together as one big family while also celebrating what makes each one of them truly unique. In this small Tennessee town, their minds are opened to new ideas and to a world of possibilities.

Many people come together to make this happen. From our teachers, advisors, and coaches to our admissions team and facilities crew, everyone on campus plays an important role each day. Our alumni, families, friends, faculty, and staff all play an essential part in our students’ success when you choose to include SAS in your philanthropy. We could not do it without you.

Head of School Karl J. Sjolund is now in his fifth year at SAS.

This past year, you showed your support in a big way. We are pleased to announce that in the 2020 fiscal year, the SAS Fund reached a twenty-year high, coming in just shy of $700,000. The Cornerstone Society members listed in this Honor Roll contributed a full 81% of that total.

That fact underlines just how important your partnership is in the life of this school.

We also appreciate the more than ninety members of the Mountain Society who are providing for the future of SAS through your estate plans. A number of these commitments are directed to benefit SAS’s endowment which, as of June 30, 2020, stands at $18,577,371. Half of that amount is earmarked to provide for scholarships. We are commited to providing educational opportunities for those who might not otherwise be able to attend SAS; more than 51% of students received need-based support last year.

Due to the pandemic, SAS, like other schools, has faced many challenges. However, as we navigate these unprecedented times, we are able to do so with a great degree of confidence knowing that you are standing strongly beside us. Because of you, we were able to bring students back to campus and are well-prepared for what may come. One important lesson is this: no matter what is going on in the world around us, together we will always find a way to give SAS students the truest gift of Challenge, Balance, and Joy.

Margaret Cartinhour Woods is serving her first year as President of the Board of Trustees.

With Gratitude,

THE OUTDOORS On the SAS Farm, students start by learning basic gardening techniques and then dig deeper into sustainable land practices and conservation. With courses in Field Geology, Archaeology, and Environmental Science, this is just one of many opportunities for students to put down their textbooks and enjoy an immersive learning experience. When the school day is over, they can continue to explore the natural world by going for a ride or a hike on one of our many miles of trails, or for a dip in the Res.

CORNERSTONE SOCIETY SPOTLIGHT Three years at St. Andrew’s School left an indelible imprint.

I was able to pursue interests in and out of the classroom, confirming my love of Classical Studies and the Humanities while playing sports and participating in the performing arts and school government. I have fond memories of my time on The Mountain and am fortunate to maintain connections with classmates and former faculty.

As I prepare for my 31st year teaching Latin at The National Cathedral School in Washington, D.C., I am reminded of all the lessons those folks shared with me: have faith, live with integrity, be kind, work hard, and play harder. It cannot be coincidence I find myself teaching at an Episcopal school on a mountain beside a beautiful cathedral.

Those lessons also inspire me to support St. Andrew’sSewanee School. I give to the SAS Fund not only to assist the school in its mission today, but to ensure that future generations of students will be able to look back with their own fond memories of our beautiful school on The Mountain.

THE ARTS The SAS Clay Studio has been a student favorite for many generations. Our alumni have the bowls, mugs, and vases to prove it! Giving students the ability to explore their creative side and develop their talents is one of our top priorities, which is why we have expanded our offerings in both the visual and the performing arts. Just this summer, music teacher J.R. Ankney installed a brand-new recording studio in McCrory Hall (pictured right). Among other things, the studio is currently being used to record music for our virtual chapel services.

MOUNTAIN SOCIETY SPOTLIGHT In 1961/62 I marched more penalty tours than anyone in my class.

I was always in trouble and not having a lot of fun. In my junior year, Whiteman, Rauchle, James Scott and others turned me on to learning and scholarship. I got into a great college, married a good looking girl, and had a rewarding technology career. Today, we enjoy a comfortable retirement with travel, non-profit involvement, and church work. I suspect the positive things I enjoy may not have happened if my SMA teachers had not invested in my development.

Last year, Lizzie Duncan gave me a tour of the SAS campus: I met students, teachers, and got to know the school’s story. I believe SAS today is helping kids get started in life the same way SMA turned me around.

I want to do my part to ensure SAS’s future and high standards. That is why, in addition to my annual fund support, SAS has a place in my estate plan.

Promoting Critical Thinking ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE A strong academic program will always be the cornerstone of an SAS education. Our curriculum focuses on developing creative thinking and problem solving skills, and through project-based learning students learn to work together as a team. As a clear example, in just their second year in existence, the SAS Ethics Bowl team (pictured middleright) were repeat State Champions.

After graduation, SAS students excel in the college environment. Through our partnership with the University of the South, many have already earned college credit by the time they arrive. Members of the Class of 2020 are currently enrolled at institutions such as Vanderbilt University, New York University, and the University of Chicago.

More importantly, they leave here with a love of learning and the drive to turn their dreams into reality. This helps propel them toward rewarding careers and lives of meaning.
