In the spring, I meet with every senior advisory over a series of lunches to learn about the experience that the students had during their time at Bishop’s. Over turkey sandwiches and Sara Sweet’s famous chocolate chip cookies, the seniors pull questions from a jar that then prompts a free-flowing conversation. Their camaraderie is wonderful to witness. They take turns speaking without prompting, respecting each other’s views, having learned to leave space for others and valuing collaboration. They agree about most things and then disagree agreeably. They tell stories. They laugh. They literally lean on each other.

The cover of this magazine shows one of those senior advisory lunches. This group was English teacher Adam Davis’s advisory. I am always struck by their candor and by the wisdom that they have developed over their years together at Bishop’s. They delight in highlights of their time, offer suggestions about what could be better, and their consensus is always that the faculty and staff at Bishop’s have cared deeply for them. Our mission, our vision, our strategic plan and our future are all about the quality of the students’ experience and the teachers and staff who make that possible. It is immensely gratifying to hear the seniors’ conscious gratitude for the people at Bishop’s who guided them through their formative adolescent years.

I hope you will enjoy the feature stories about the many highlights of this past spring, and I draw your attention to an insert entitled “Guide to the Brand.” Those of you who receive and read this magazine know Bishop’s well; there are others who do not know us well, and we want everyone to know what makes a Bishop’s education the standard of excellence. We believe that academic excellence is built upon a foundation of well-being and belonging, nurtured by adults who understand adolescent learning and development, and reinforced by a sense of purpose. Those of you who have read our past stories know this as the “Bishop’s Egg.” Our goal is for our students to Achieve Well, to have our students say what the seniors told me during their final spring—that they achieved more than they had imagined because they felt loved, supported and challenged.

A Link to the Past and a Window to the Future

By Jen Jordan

When The Bishop’s School was founded 114 years ago, it offered highquality education to those typically left out of the experience. “When we were founded, it was progressive at the time to think that women could go on to receive degrees from highly intellectual places,” outgoing Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ) David Thompson, Jr. reflects. “We are an institution providing a legacy of giving hope and educational attainment to populations who we societally don’t think can achieve that.”

One glance through Bishop’s archives echoes that sentiment. Images of girls playing softball on the Quad, proudly displaying test tubes and glass jars from chemistry class and relaxing outside Gilman Hall tell the story of a place that has always felt a responsibility to provide equity to underserved populations. The School’s earliest catalogs note that students will be asked to “think independently, to study intelligently and to work with concentration.”

“Our obligation to our students is the same now as it was 50 or 100 years ago,” Head of School Ron Kim shares. “The circumstances are very different. Our responsibility is, how do we prepare our students to be

successful today and in the future? We know that our students currently live in a diverse world. They are going to head off to college and beyond in very diverse environments. Their ability to be successful will be entirely linked to their ability to work well with lots of different people |and perspectives.”

Under David’s tutelage, the School’s DEIJ program endeavors to arm students with that ability. David joined Bishop’s as an associate director of college counseling and affinity group sponsor in 2013. He was named director of diversity and community life in 2017 and became director of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in 2021. He departed Bishop’s in July to serve as the director of equity and inclusion at Trinity School in New York City.

Before David’s arrival, Associate Head of School Michael Beamer remembers, “We were a community that had a bunch of well-meaning people but we really needed someone to focus our work and think about where we want to be.”

David notes, “Through the lens of our well-articulated Episcopal values and the support that I received from Ron and Mike as my supervisor, I was given a path and

told that I could use my best judgment to see what the community needed and offer opportunities for that through conferences and programs,” he says.

“David has taken our DEIJ conversation from talking about why we do this work as a community to how we do this work,” Ron says. “As a result, we’ve seen tremendous growth in our affinity groups, LGBTQIA+ support, DEIJ educational programming and parent engagement.

“I feel very fortunate that, when I came in with my experience, what I wanted to do strategically for this school aligned so well with David’s capabilities,” Ron adds.

“I’m so appreciative of the progress he’s helped us make for the benefit of the School and the students.”

The School’s strategic plan leans on its legacy of equity and its Episcopal values. With well-being as the focus, a community of inclusion and belonging, adolescent learning and development and purpose work hand-in-hand to comprise the Bishop’s Learner. “The strategic plan helped to put a framework around DEIJ work, that it’s fundamental to the success of every student here to have well-being and belonging,” Ron says. “We have long-term goals and we’re trying to build something over time.”

“What we are giving to all of our community members is what is necessary for them to belong,” David says. “As a school, we’re owning where we can continue to grow and I think that’s what it means to be a school that lives through the values we have of integrity, inclusion, compassion and justice.”

Those values have given the School a solid footing on which to stand in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement and rises in

attacks on Asian Americans, antisemitic incidents and hate directed toward the LGBTQIA+ community. “The universe was sending us a lot of messages, telling us that we need to be looking closely as a society at what and who is important, and how we offer our support to those in need,” David reflects.

“We’ve navigated our way through tough moments with dialogue, conversation and really wanting to understand the issues,” says Michael. “I think that’s the hallmark of this community; we prefer active engagement and we want to have conversations with the impacted parties. At each moment, finding the right pacing requires us to understand where the community is and where we want to go, but also understand how we tie this to how we speak to each other, the values of the institution and our Episcopal values. It works because this is what Bishop’s stands for.”

As Bishop’s welcomes incoming Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice Valissa Thomas this fall, the School will further its legacy as an institution that, buoyed by its strategic plan and Episcopal values, provides equity for all. “I don’t know all the directions [DEIJ work] is going to go,” Ron reflects. “I couldn’t have predicted it 20, 30 years ago. But what’s really important for us is we stay as current as possible on what we know matters to students and their sense of belonging.

“There’s so much more that we need to understand about how we make this place one where all kids feel like they belong. Every adolescent has doubts about belonging. I want us to continue to work toward having more students feel a greater sense of belonging, knowing we’re never going to get to perfection on that.”

“We are a school that has equity at its core.”

ROBERT MULGREW POETRY SERIES

Poetic Setting

By Cathy Morrison

Twenty-twenty three marks the sixth year of the Robert Mulgrew Poetry Series bringing celebrated authors to campus to read from their recent works for the community and to lead writing workshops and conversations with Bishop’s students.

Laura Kasischke was our featured guest in May. Our own resident poet and English teacher Adam Davis described her as “a prolific poet and novelist, the author of over 20 books which have garnered a multitude of awards, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Alice Fay Di Castagnola Award, the Rilke Poetry Prize and le Prix Elle. She has also received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation.”

The late afternoon reading offered her the opportunity to visit English classes during the day, including a ninth-grade class, multiple tenth-grade classes, and sections of Honors Writing and Advanced Honors. Having the opportunity to meet personally with and hear directly from authors—especially those whose work they’ve read—is a valuable experience for students. And authors are equally enamored during their visits.

Adam reports, “Students were excited to meet with her—especially the tenth graders as they’d all read her book, “Lightning Falls in Love.” They had many questions about her work that they were keen to ask.

“I think both students and faculty were charmed by her humor, which may not have been evident owing to some of the darker aspects of her work. Many noted that they were impressed with her honest and open approach to discussion.

“She greatly enjoyed her time at Bishop’s. She explained to me that since the pandemic, many of the readings she had done had been more stressful, but that she found our community and campus to be welcoming and supportive.

“It’s truly an honor to be able to bring poets of such a caliber to campus and my hope is that the Mulgrew Series will only continue to grow so that it can serve Bishopians and the greater San Diego community for years to come.”

The Robert Mulgrew Poetry Series is open to the public at no charge; books are typically available for purchase and signing. Check the calendar at bishops.com to see when our next speakers will be on campus!

On Saturday, May 6, the Bishop’s community dined al fresco under the stars on the Quad at the “Stars at Knight, Big and Bright” Gala in support of the School’s Financial Aid Program.

With an attendance of 390 guests and 50 faculty and staff volunteers, attendees enjoyed an incredible evening surrounded by beautifully lit campus buildings on the Quad’s meticulously tended grass. Guests savored tray-passed appetizers, dinner and cocktails by Chef Jeffrey Strauss and Pamplemousse Grille. Attendees participated in a paddle raise and silent auction, then heard from speaker Nick Booker ’00, who espoused the importance of financial aid.

“It was The Bishop’s School that equipped me with the education and life tools that forever changed the course of my life,” Nick told the crowd. “Today, you have faculty, administrators and staff who are creating the same experiences and opportunities for Bishop’s students— people your children will always be grateful were part of their educational experience.”

Late-night snacks, dancing and live entertainment by Zach Barnhorst ’95 and his band ZB Savoy closed out a magical evening.

Co-chaired by Juli Oh Browne (Lila ’20, Eli ’23, Ian ’25), Mia Kelley (William ’28, Olivia ’30) and Melissa Murfey ’97

(Carl ’25, Laird ’28), the evening netted $850,000 in support of financial aid. Direct donations to financial aid made through the paddle raise brought in over $640,000 and the event generated $85,000 from sponsors and patrons.

The Gala Committee made a number of changes to ensure the event evoked a warm and friendly atmosphere, from market lights and greenery strung across the Quad to comfortable lounge areas set up on the grass. “No tent was a big change,” Mia says. “It was a very casual and welcoming environment.”

“The event felt less formal,” adds Melissa. “It was different and so fun. You could see the tower lit up, and people were in a great mood. The paddle raise was mindblowing, and everyone was so happy to support the School.”

Melissa shares that working alongside her co-chairs, Bishop’s Chief Engagement Officer Emily Hassig, Director of Parent and Family Engagement Beth Garon and fellow volunteers was a wonderful experience. “It was a fun group to work with and with Emily being new this year, it was a fun time to get involved. We built it together from scratch. The three of us spanned the grades and the different areas of involvement. We couldn’t do it without an amazing group of volunteers and their help is so appreciated.”

CELEBRATING AWARD-WINNING ALUMNI

By Jared Scott Tesler

On March 18, at this year’s Ellen Browning Scripps Celebration, Dmitri M. Johnson ’99, Laura Keehner Rigas ’97 and Mimi Holman Test ’61 received the Alumni Achievement Award, the Ellen Browning Scripps Distinguished Alumni Award and the Rosamond Larmour Loomis Alumni Service Award, respectively.

Johnson was recognized for his highly distinguished career, as highlighted by significant achievements and outstanding contributions within his chosen field; Rigas for her integrity, imagination, moral responsibility and commitment to serving the larger community; and Test for her exemplary sense of initiative, caring and dedication to making the world a better place.

All three recipients have brought honor and distinction to themselves and The Bishop’s School; embody the spirit and character of Bishop’s founder, Miss Ellen Browning Scripps; and serve as inspirational role models for today’s and tomorrow’s alumni.

LAURA KEEHNER RIGAS ’97

Laura Keehner Rigas ’97 elevated her community service opportunities at Bishop’s, volunteering through National Charity League and at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Rigas has enjoyed an impactful 25-year career leading executive management, public affairs and communications teams in state and federal government, nonprofit organizations and the private sector, including the White House and the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. Recently, she was appointed by the Governor of Virginia to the Board of Visitors of her alma mater, the College of William & Mary, where she previously served as student body president.

MIMI HOLMAN TEST ’61

After more than 40 years as a San Diego-area high school teacher, coach and administrator, Mimi Holman Test ’61 retired in 2006. She continues to lend a helping hand as an interim administrator at Grossmont Union High School District’s Helix and Steele Canyon Charter High Schools. Over the years, Test has served Bishop’s—which she attended alongside her identical twin sister, the late Sheila Holman Banks ’61—as class agent and a member of the board of trustees and the alumni association board. Test gave a chapel talk, reflecting on the impact of her own chapel experience, to Bishop’s students the day before the Ellen Browning Scripps Celebration.

DMITRI M. JOHNSON ’99

A highly involved student-athlete at Bishop’s, Dmitri M. Johnson ’99 spent his free time editing his latest film projects. After high school, he received his bachelor’s degree in film production from Chapman University’s Lawrence and Kristina Dodge College of Film and Media Arts and went on to launch two highly successful film, television and media production companies: dj2 Entertainment and Story Kitchen. Through his business ventures, Johnson has delighted in the opportunity to bring some of his all-time favorite childhood characters and toys—including anthropomorphic blue hedgehog Sonic and animatronic bear Teddy Ruxpin—to the big screen.

How did your Bishop’s education pave the way for college, career and life?

Thanks to both our winning volleyball team and the School’s culture of helping others, Bishop’s taught me leadership, compassion and service, which set me up for success in my life and career. Of all the skills I learned, successfully working in teams is the most important. Bishop’s government class piqued my curiosity about Washington, D.C., which led me to work for two presidents as a senior staffer and earn a Master of Public Administration degree from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.

What does the Ellen Browning Scripps Distinguished Alumni Award mean to you?

I was humbled and honored to be selected, and it meant the world to me to return to campus—which always feels like coming home. It also reminded me what a blessing it was for me to be able to attend Bishop’s and how much that opportunity helped shape my life.

How do Bishop’s core values— integrity, compassion, inclusion, intellect, excellence and justice— continue to shape your life?

When we serve others—our family, friends, community or nation—we inevitably share the light that’s within each of us. I’m grateful for the blessings I’ve been given and committed to taking those blessings and helping others share their light.

How did your Bishop’s education pave the way for college, career and life?

By eighth grade, both Sheila and I knew we wanted to be teachers, because of our love of challenge and learning and how we were treated and guided by our teachers and [former Headmistress] Ms. Larmour. Due to their belief in us and their guidance, we always respected their firm yet caring words. I learned the gifts of acceptance, caring, gratitude, listening, patience, respect and understanding.

What does the Rosamond Larmour Loomis Alumni Service Award mean to you?

Receiving this very special award will forever be one of the most personal and significant memories of my life, and I’ll continue to say thank you to Bishop’s—where so much of my life began. I’m forever grateful for this recognition and the opportunity to enjoy such lasting relationships.

How do Bishop’s core values— integrity, compassion, inclusion, intellect, excellence and justice— continue to shape your life?

I’ll always appreciate the core values taught and demonstrated daily by teachers, students and staff—past, present and future—at Bishop’s, where I continue to learn important life lessons.

How did your Bishop’s education pave the way for college, career and life?

Bishop’s is widely known for being an excellent school, but for me and my journey, it was the School’s support of me as a young aspiring filmmaker that made all the difference. In fact, it was my college counselor who put the film school I ultimately attended on my radar. This decision would end up putting me on my career path.

What does the Alumni Achievement Award mean to you?

It means the world to me. It’s a fine point on never giving up, no matter how tough things may be. There were many times I wanted to bail on Bishop’s because of how challenging things got. But as far as my mom was concerned, leaving wasn’t an option. Needless to say, I’m glad I stayed.

How do Bishop’s core values— integrity, compassion, inclusion, intellect, excellence and justice— continue to shape your life?

I apply many of the core values learned at Bishop’s to my everyday life. I value giving back to the community through charity work, helping those less fortunate (especially animals) and trying to be a kind and considerate person in everything that I do.

YOU MATTER

By Trisha Ratledge

The Bishop’s School has made great progress in its long-term efforts to assess and address student well-being, and early results show that the data gathered is robust and the news about the community is unquestionably positive in terms of both well-being and academic excellence.

To understand how the student body as a whole is faring, Bishop’s worked with Authentic Connections to offer its HighAchieving School Survey (HASS) to students in the fall of 2019 and again in the fall of 2022.

“Bishop’s is a really healthy community,” says Associate Head of School Michael Beamer, liaison to Authentic Connections. “In all areas that they measure (anxiety, depression, rule-breaking, substance use and feelings of isolation), we were well below the national average. We’ve given the survey twice and, over those three years, we were down in every category with the exception of depression, which was up just modestly. The support that faculty members give students was seen as the highest protective factor we have.”

Importantly, analytics from the AC HighAchieving School Survey can also pinpoint areas one or more groups on campus may be grappling with, giving the School actionable information to help address key issues. Campus leaders are currently focusing on three areas of pressure identified by the

survey: expectations of parents, academic competition and social media comparisons.

“If the eighth- and tenth-grade students are comparing themselves the most in terms of social media, then those are the populations more at risk for anxiety, depression, rulebreaking and isolation,” Michael explains. “Then we look at what kind of intervention makes the most sense so we can get our arms around that issue. How do we educate the students? How do we educate the parents?”

them with resilience and optimism, and with the belief that there are adults who love and care for them and who are going to support them.

“We’re a school that has long been known for academic excellence. We’re going to continue to be known for academic excellence, and it’s on a foundation of wellbeing that students are going to be able to achieve those goals.”

Core to the overall conversation on campus is that as a high-achieving school, the Bishop’s community values ambition, effort and accomplishment. Equally, it values mental health and well-being, defined by meaningful relationships, emotional support, physical well-being and spiritual well-being. Bishop’s is working to ensure that these complementary goals are enduring.

“Having a foundation of well-being is extraordinarily helpful for our students to be able to reach their goals and to perform anywhere close to their potential,” notes Head of School Ron Kim.

“It’s important to note that we’re not talking about the absence of stress,” he adds. “We’re not trying to protect kids from the challenges that come with ambition. We want students to have goals and pursue

During the 2022-23 academic year, these conversations were extended to the parent community with the introduction of the Bishop’s Family Partnership Series, a yearlong schedule of parent/caregiver education events. Megan Broderick ’98, director of counseling, has run education events for parents for the past 10 years, but these events are now held monthly and are designed to pair with topics covered in well-being blocks during student advisories.

“Parent and caregiver education is essential for raising healthy kids,” says Megan. “We can be educating kids about their health and well-being, but if we partner with the parents at home, it makes that message even stronger and more consistent.”

Over the last year, family topics ranged from a comprehensive “Supporting Your Knight Workshop” to “Building Resilience

THE BISHOP’S SCHOOL EXPANDS INITIATIVES TO SUPPORT WELL-BEING ON CAMPUS

and Choosing a Life You Love.” Speakers vary, with some topics calling on experts within the Bishop’s community and others inviting subject-matter experts such as a licensed therapist, educational psychologist, pediatrician, nonprofit entrepreneur, substance use prevention specialist and more from San Diego and beyond.

If families can’t attend a session, Megan and Lauren Gray, school counselor, provide a summary, key takeaways and a video link of the session in the Counseling Corner section of the weekly Knights News. Caregivers can also access these resources by clicking the Bishop’s Family Partnership button under Resources in Blackbaud.

“We try to distill the information so even if you didn’t have time to watch the whole presentation, the Counseling Corner includes a few sentence starters and a couple of bullet points for a conversation with your kid,” says Lauren. “In five minutes, somebody can get the information.”

The 2023-24 academic year promises another strong slate of education programs for parents and caregivers; and for students, Megan and Lauren are expanding resources for peer guidance with the introduction of the Kindness Crew and an update of the peer counseling program.

The Kindness Crew is a group of sophomore and junior students who will work with the middle school students to

lead events and spread a message of kindness through their interactions. Peer counselors will be juniors and seniors who have been thoroughly trained by Megan and Lauren to lead peer conversations on set topics in advisories, offer advice individually to younger students and provide student perspectives in the Bishop’s Family Partnership Series.

“Peer counselors are not replacing the school counselors,” Megan adds. “We’ve long felt that we have this group of older students who have walked in the shoes of our younger students and how can we best use that. We’re very excited about this as yet another way for our students to feel like they’re not alone.”

have reasonable expectations for what students do when they leave at night,” Michael says.

That balance is the key to flourishing academic lives for Bishop’s students.

“I think this past year we really turned a corner where we moved from a community where people said, ‘OK, they are interested in well-being. I don’t quite understand why we’re doing that, but we are,’” Michael notes. “Now, they are saying, ‘We’re a community that’s focused on well-being and I really want to know how to do that better.’ That’s a major shift.”

Other initiatives the School is looking at include a structural appraisal of the daily schedule to see if there are ways to further enhance the experience for students and adults, and an assessment of how much homework is reasonable for students, particularly in honors and advanced honors courses. The last initiative was requested by the Associated Student Body Council, which spurred a new ad hoc homework committee handling the evaluation.

“The hallmark of Bishop’s is academic excellence and we absolutely want to preserve that, but we also want to make sure that we

Ultimately, a culture of well-being enables students to learn the skills to manage the daily tasks and specific goals they are striving toward and also to build the knowledge and support to look to the future with hope, optimism and a sense of purpose.

“We want to elevate our perspective and help students to think about, ‘Why am I here? What can I do? How can I be of best service?’” Ron says.

“When students see that there’s something they can do with the gifts they have, then they start to see a greater purpose. It’s about what you can do for others. That outward perspective reinforces your belief that you matter in this world, that you matter to other people. When you see that, you support your inner sense of well-being. It’s a virtuous loop.”

FOND FAREWELLS NEW CHAPTERS

By Cathy Morrison

Each school year is its own “circle of life” that begins by welcoming new colleagues, students and families into our community. Throughout the year, we grow and learn together until that somewhat bittersweet moment when it’s time to say some goodbyes—to graduates embarking on their college lives, to colleagues headed to new career opportunities and to retiring colleagues anticipating their next moves and adventures. Here, their peers share some kind words as we wish them all our best!

Jim Jordan ’83

Science department faculty

eighth grade science, varsity swim coach

2017-2023

“Recently, Jim shared a note one of our advisees had written to him that said, ‘I hope I’m like you when I grow up.’ This sums up Jim perfectly. Jim is one of the kindest, most empathetic people I know. I can always count on him as a rock and a sounding board, someone who gives really thoughtful advice. He is intentional in how he treats others and has a strong sense of right and wrong. He sees other people for who they are. He is brave and vulnerable, and he connects so deeply to others. He is genuine; there is not an inauthentic bone in his body. The last two school years advising alongside him—the other Jordan to whom I am definitely not related— have been a huge gift. He is someone I strive to be like every day. There is a new season ahead for him, one that involves so much travel and long walks with his sweet dog Laola and even longer ocean swims.”

~ Jen Jordan

John Nagler

History and social sciences faculty, ninth grade class sponsor, surf team coach

2016-2023

“Since coming to Bishop’s in 2016, John championed the evolution of the History and Social Sciences upper school scope and sequence, including drafting team agreements that sought to ensure equity in terms of time, content, rigor and grading across sections, designing multiple iterations of Honors U.S. History, and consistently experimenting with and modeling strategies for the teaching of writing and discussion. In addition to his teaching, John coached the surf team and previously served as ninth grade class sponsor. We will miss John’s commitment to students and his colleagueship.”

~ Ben Heldt

Marianne Kullback

Upper school academic assistant and AP coordinator

2013-2023

“Marianne’s roles both require attention to detail and an ability to calmly assist folks about things that can feel very stressful to them. Marianne has been the perfect point person on both counts, in large part because of her knowledge and warmth. She has very much been the sage campus ‘mom’, often joking that she got into working in schools so that she could keep an eye on her own kids, and now she’s become a ‘mom’ to so many Bishop’s kids. She’s served as an advisor for the last seven years, and she never fails to make the kids feel special. Marianne is staying in San Diego, and I know she is excited to go on many new cycling adventures with her husband Bill and to take trips to the East Coast to spend time with her grand-babies. She is expecting another grandchild this year, but this one will be right down the road instead of across the country.”

~ Brian Ogden

David Thompson

Associate director of college counseling, affinity group sponsor; English department faculty; director of diversity, equity, inclusion and justice

2013-2023

“ David shows his love for those around him through conversation. In David’s philosophy of education, students come first. It doesn’t matter what he has on his plate—a meeting, presentation, dinner, or maybe even a graduate school midterm—if a student needs his attention or advice, David will drop everything—sometimes at real personal expense—to help out. This orientation has made David the go-to person for countless Bishop’s students.

“He was instrumental in shaping our mission, vision, values and DEIJ statements. I have called his seven-year DEIJ curriculum his grand opus, because it ties together so many of the strands we have worked on together: individual lesson plans, respectful dialog practices, ADL training, student-generated case studies, a glossary of terms and more.

“One of David’s great strengths has been his ability to temper his ambitious plans with the knowledge that moving too fast would have undermined the work he was doing. First he had to make sure that we were all on the bus before we could move forward.” ~ Michael

Beamer

“David has shared openly what it is like to navigate this School and community as a person of color. This isn’t easy work. It’s emotionally exhausting, and it requires a level of vulnerability that those of us who look like me will never understand. Yet, he continues to show up day after day, and he does it all with incredible humility and grace, and out of tremendous love for our students and each of us. My prayer today for David comes from Teresa of Avila: ‘May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be, and may you never forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith and hope.’” ~

Joe Allen

Visual arts faculty—photography

2004-2023

“As educators, we share what we’re passionate about with the kids— whether in the classroom, on the court or playing field, on the stage—and in Joe’s case, that passion was photography. A fun fact, Joe has become an accomplished luthier, and has made some beautiful guitars and ukuleles. In addition to sharing his eye for visual beauty with his students and developing theirs, Joe, a lifelong surfer, has shared that passion mentoring students on the Bishop’s surf team. John Nagler said something about Joe that rang true for me: he said he admired how Joe relates to kids the same way he relates to adults. He treats them as equals, encourages them to be independent and accountable; in the process, he helps them to see themselves as the capable, responsible adults they’re becoming.” ~ Mike

Lynn Bell Math department faculty

2004-2023

“ Lynn has always demonstrated dedication, commitment and continuous willingness to try something new. In addition, she has been devoted to her students, including the amount of time she has spent working with kids after school. On the lighter side, I must note how she set the fashion standard for lower Bentham, which I have also observed, was not hard to do, given who else worked in lower Bentham. She always had snacks for her students and (especially!) co-workers. Lynn’s personal loyalty and friendship to colleagues will be missed!”

~ Noble Kime

Ted Torretti Science department faculty, chemistry 1992 -2023

“During Ted’s 30-year tenure he taught Summer Chemistry, Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Physics and Forensic Science. Ted was Department Chair from 2002-2005; the 2014 recipient of the Bradbury Family Endowed Chair in Chemistry; a Jacob’s Prize recipient; and the proud dad of two alumni, Sandy Torretti ’08 and Katie Torretti ’12. Ted truly loved teaching; his patience and encouragement with students ran deep, and the handful of his Chemistry students I have taught in Advanced Honors Chemistry were dedicated Torretti groupies! Ted always beat me into the office, generally on campus by 5 a.m. Luckily, he kindly accepted me into his lab and in Ted I found a fabulous mentor and cheerleader.” ~ Pam

Reynolds

“Ted’s levelness and patience was a great model to me and the advice he offered helped me to navigate the highs and lows of teaching with a bit more steadiness. It was incredibly helpful to hear. As a lay person, I imagine anybody would be impressed to learn that somebody taught for decades of their lives; as teachers, we can truly respect what it means to dedicate your entire career to teaching. And not just to teach, but to teach well and to consistently create an amazing experience for students. To support them, adapt your curriculum to meet them where they are with the changing world, to make class interesting and exciting—what a commendable thing that is! My experience teaching with Ted in a nutshell: He was always there to help. I will miss him dearly and wish him well in retirement; I hope he gets to explore a lot of breweries, see plays with his wife, enjoy time with his pups and relax after an admirable career of service to students.” ~

Kaitlin Douglass

Julie Zedalis Science department faculty, biology and forensic science

1998-2023

“ I feel incredibly privileged that Julie asked me to speak on her behalf. Over the course of my two decades at Bishop’s, she has been a remarkable, supportive and inspirational colleague. Recently, I had a chance encounter with a former student who is now a professor in the science department at University of San Diego. She shared with me how Julie’s influence inspired her to pursue her passion in STEM and earn her Ph.D.

Julie has always been a trendsetter, exuding style and elegance. Whether it’s her impeccable fashion sense or her post-surgery appearance, she always looks like she just stepped off a glamorous photo shoot.

I will deeply miss Julie. Her absence will undoubtedly be felt on campus, along with the absence of her son Eric. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement!” ~ Regina

Sara Sweet

Director of food services

1983-2023

“ What first struck me about Sara was that she was always calm and ready to pull out all the stops for every holiday or cultural celebration. Although parents and staff asked for many things from her, I never saw her flustered or upset. While I tried to keep the upper school kids from cutting the middle schoolers in the lunch lines, she smiled and enjoyed talking to students and staff. After a full day feeding the School, she would then bake a few cakes for a faculty baby shower, then host an elegant board dinner and finally prepare for a community breakfast the next morning. The work and planning for all of these events was mind-numbing to me. Again, I never heard her complain.

What also struck me about Sara was her love for the students. Every day a vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-allergy student would find her and she would go into the kitchen and pull out the perfect plate. She knew all of these students by name and made each of them feel special and very well taken care of. She accommodated all of these students effortlessly and without hesitation.

Raquel Aguilar Magdalena Rodriguez

Housekeeping

1993-2023

Housekeeping

1979-2023

Sisters Raquel Aguilar and Magdalena Rodriguez are among the second of three generations of the Rodriguez family to work at The Bishop’s School. Their uncle Adam Rodriguez began his career here in the 1960s; their father Jesús retired in the 1980s; brother Beto started in maintenance at the age of 17 and now serves as the gardening and grounds supervisor; and niece Briana currently works in the child care center. Before their retirement earlier this year, one rarely saw one sister on campus without the other. They are a devoted pair, not only to one another, but to the School as well.   Beto says his sisters are both really hard workers and that Bishop’s has been like a second home for them. He adds, “Everyone needs to work, so it’s good to be in a place where you come to work happy.”

A fun fact Beto shared with us: For a time, Jesús and the family lived in a house on campus, located where the Science Center now stands. The Rodriguez family has a proud tradition at Bishop’s and is a tremendous blessing for our School community.

Barry

I really can’t imagine Bishop’s without Sara. But what I can imagine are wonderful next steps for Sara. I can see her gardening in her beautiful yard, hiking with her dogs and traveling with her family. Sara, enjoy this next step and thank you for your dedication to the Bishop’s community.” ~ Carol

Passing the Gavel

Long-range strategy is at the heart of the work of Bishop’s board of trustees. Guiding the institution into the future and setting annual goals, board members navigate the myriad complexities of both the School and the world it inhabits, all while stewarding Bishop’s mission, vision and values.

Haeyoung Tang (Justin ’20, Julian ’22, Noa ’24) completed her term as board president at the end of the 2022-2023 school year; Mac Armstrong ’93 (Henry ’25, Cooper ’27, Elliott ’29) is now serving in the role. They thoughtfully answered our questions; the conversation below is edited for length and clarity.

By Cathy Morrison

What made you say “yes” to this opportunity?

Haeyoung: The nurturing and education of young minds is an investment in the betterment of humankind, so an endeavor that does this as well as The Bishop’s School is a worthy investment of my own time. I am honored to have had the opportunity to be board president, and what compelled me in the end was our commitment to core Episcopal values I could support from a deeply personal place.

Mac: I’m excited to work side-by-side with Ron Kim and help execute the strategic mission of the School. It’s an exciting time for Bishop’s and it means a lot to help him accomplish his goals and the School’s goals. Bishop’s has been a big part of my life for 35 years— this is a chance to make a further contribution to a place that had an impact on my life and my family’s life.

What work or initiatives do you feel most strongly about?

Haeyoung: I am proud of the approval of our new mission, vision, values, strategic plan and diversity statements in April 2021, which provided a North Star for our work. As we continue to oversee the successful implementation of our strategic plan, I am even more proud of the incredibly productive partnership that the board has with Head of School Ron Kim and the entire admin team. This mutual respect has allowed us to dream about a comprehensive campaign that will continue the long legacy of this remarkable School.

Mac: We’re commencing with the comprehensive campaign; as the campaign gets underway, to lead the board in their capacity and support of Ron as he is the face of the campaign. There are tremendous opportunities on the facilities side. Enhancing the overall physical plan of the School is something the board is very excited about and something specifically that I’m focused on. Whether it be for performing arts, creative sciences or athletics, I’d love to play an instrumental role in that.

What should the community understand about the board’s role at Bishop’s?

Haeyoung: The board of trustees is a group of caring and dedicated individuals who share their time, talent and treasure willingly and selflessly for the benefit of the School. We always have the best interest of the students in mind when making important decisions. We are making decisions that will not always be felt immediately; we are thinking about the long-term sustainability and success of the School many years into the future. Having said that, we like to see and feel near-term results as well!

Mac: The board is not operational. We want to execute the long-term strategy of the School and take a perspective focused on the sustainability of the institution. When we’re considering an initiative, it’s really what will this mean for the long-term benefit of the School as opposed to something that might be deemed a near-term challenge or opportunity. We certainly want to help with those, but we don’t want to overstep. We’d rather focus on enhancing the experience of the students if not today, certainly in five, ten, fifteen or twenty years. And to be ambassadors of the School, engaged with the community broadly, helping articulate the mission of Bishop’s while being a resource and a sounding board for Ron as he thinks about the strategic direction of the institution.

How do you feel about your Bishop’s experience in any/all of your roles (alumni, parent, trustee)?

Haeyoung: As a parent, I am so grateful that my three sons have had the opportunity to attend Bishop’s and be taught and shaped by devoted, caring adults. I am also thankful for the wonderful friendships they have formed that will hopefully be for life. As a trustee, I am blessed to have served with Ron, his admin team and a group of trustees— all of whom I admire and respect immensely.

Mac: I’m actually a second-generation board president. My father was the board president when I graduated in 1993. I’m thrilled to follow in his footsteps and the fact that I’ll be board president when three of my sons are at the School will be neat. Overall, it’s another way for me to see how the School has evolved and how the School really cemented itself as one of the best academic institutions on the West Coast and nationwide. I care deeply about the School and I want to make sure it continues.

Bonus question for Mac: How has Bishop’s evolved since your days as a student?

It’s a bigger school from the number of students and the footprint. It had a terrific reputation then, but it’s considered even more stellar today. The reach of the School continues to expand. Whether it be the touchpoints into greater San Diego County, whether it be international students coming to the School, whether it be how we attract and retain exceptional faculty nationwide, the School really has a terrific national brand and national brand awareness.

Is there anything you would like to add?

Mac: It’s important to acknowledge Haeyoung she has done an exceptional job as board president. She ascended to this seat in a tumultuous time, coming out of COVID. And like Barb Edwards ’84, her predecessor, she’s been an exceptional resource to Ron. A terrific leader for all of the board, she navigated a challenging time but also made sure we did not take our eye off the proverbial ball as it pertains to the mission of the School. Further than that, she led the progress around the strategic plan, putting some of the groundwork in place for a major campaign.

Haeyoung: This board values the teachers, administrators and staff who provide our students with an excellent education, care, support and guidance all necessary during an adolescent’s critically formative years. When rampant inflation was making daily living more challenging for some, the board approved an unprecedented mid-year raise to help mitigate these challenges. I am proud that this board respects and appreciates the people who are the heart and soul of the School.

Finally, I am proud of this board’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and justice because they are one and the same as our Episcopal values. Our board is committed to upholding these values and leading by them. These past six years have flown by, and I will savor every minute of this final year as past president! I know our School and board are in incredibly capable and excellent hands with Ron and Mac at the helm, so I will enjoy cheering them on and supporting them in any way I can.

CIF CHAMPIONS

Fall CIF Cross-Country Champion

By Coach Sarah Solberg

Ayanna Hickey ’26 performed excellently at the CIF State Championship held at Woodward Park in Fresno, Calif. After her season was interrupted by injury, she returned to racing, earning first place in the Div. 5 San Diego Section Championship, advancing as an individual to the State meet. After the gun, Ayanna pushed ahead and held third place at the first-mile marker. The 5k course featured rolling hills and a big climb just before 2 miles, creating a tough finish. She crossed the finish with a personal record of 18:48. Ayanna had a spectacular performance, and we look forward to seeing her continue to shine in future years. The Knights have a promising season next year with her in the lead.

Boys’ Golf

By Coach Eric Chodorow

We had a great finish to the year, winning the Division III CIF Championship! The championship was contested over two days and was held at Steele Canyon Golf Club on the first day and La Costa Golf Course on the second day. Our team finished with a two-day total of 79 over par. That was good for a 65-shot victory over Santa Fe Christian, who finished in second place. William Ma ’24 shot a stellar 3 under par on the second day to lead the Knights to victory. The team finished No. 4 in the County, one of its highest-ever rankings for Bishop’s. A special shout-out to seniors Ryan Arrowsmith, Ryan Davis and Luke Seltzer. Davis played all four years and was the team’s captain this year. I can’t wait to see what he does next. Thank you all for the kind words and support of the team throughout the year. Congratulations on a fantastic season!

Girls’ Lacrosse

By Coach Meg Carr

Bishop’s Girls’ Lacrosse won their first Div. 1 CIF Championship, beating No. 3 Carlsbad 15-11. The team came out ready to set the pace, dominate and win. Natalie Marvin ’25 won the first draw and went on to score an impressive eight goals, adding three assists and eleven draw controls. Captain Erika Pfister ’23 put the draw in our favor each time and nailed five goals. In the second half, defensive team Lexi Black ’24, Erin Ellsworth ’23, Leila Feldman ’24, Laine Jeffery ’25, Jordyn Mariam ’23 and Nicola Xanthopoulos ’23 kept Carlsbad at bay with smart slides and gamechanging turnovers. Erika and Nicola had two significant interceptions in the midfield, turning the tide and keeping the momentum in our favor.

On the attacking side, Ava Brocious ’26, Sabrina Feldman ’26, Kendall Kearney ’25, Alex Pfister ’25 and Peyton Seltzer ’24 kept control of the ball under pressure to help secure needed goals late in the half. Alex hit a game-changing goal off an assist from Natalie with about five minutes to go, giving us a more comfortable lead while the clock ticked down. Goalie Sofi Verma ’24 came up big with five saves, including three critical ones from point-blank range.

To get to the CIF Championship, No. 5-seed Bishop’s knocked off No. 4 La Jolla Country Day and No. 1 Poway. This is the first-ever CIF Championship for Bishop’s Girls’ Lacrosse program; they were dominant throughout the season, outscoring their opponents by 219 and losing only three games. This team demonstrated dedication, love and spirit for the game and one another.

Roy Perkins ’08

Guest Speaker for Second Annual BESPYs Awards

By Michelle Shea

When we went looking for a speaker for the 2023 BESPYs Awards, we had three hopes. We were looking for a person with great taste, a person who gives great advice and a person who is extra sporty. We knocked it out of the park. Roy Perkins, Class of ’08, has great taste. His favorite place on campus? The senior rec room. His favorite Bishop’s lunch? Chicken burgers. His favorite class, ever? Latin with the late, great, nattily dressed legend himself, Jim Updegraff. He also gives great advice, such as, “Take your passions seriously, but don’t stress more than you need to about the negative.” And, he is sporty. Paralympic 10-time medal-winner sporty. He has medaled at three separate Paralympic Games—in Beijing in 2008 (yes, just months after graduating from Bishop’s), in London in 2012, and in Rio in 2016. For nearly a decade, Roy was out there, beating the Speedos off of his competition.

Introducing The Bishop’s Fund

By Jared Scott Tesler

As The Bishop’s School prepares for a new academic and fiscal year and reflects on its emergent operational needs, the School has decided to rename its Annual Fund—its most elastic and central fund—The Bishop’s Fund.

“Over the years, the Annual Fund has had many different names and purposes. Calling it The Bishop’s Fund promotes inclusion, unites our giving efforts, and joins together all those who are linked through Bishop’s,” explains Director of Annual Giving Kendall Lucas. “We selected a name that reflects the legacy of this fund and the culture of philanthropy that’s here at Bishop’s today and has been at the foundation since its inception.”

Lucas joined the School’s Advancement office in March 2023. She comes to Bishop’s from her alma mater, Point Loma Nazarene University, where she provided student-sponsored educational, social, cultural, religious and service opportunities for students as associated student body director of student relations and then worked for more than a decade, most recently serving as executive director of alumni relations and annual giving.

“Kendall’s years of experience as an engagement officer and her deep understanding of annual fundraising make her a tremendous asset to our advancement team,” says Senior Director of Alumni Engagement and Annual Giving Lori Boyle, who herself has more than 25 years of experience working in alumni relations and annual giving for a wide range of educational institutions, including the University of California, Los Angeles; National University; the University of California, San Diego; and California Western School of Law. “Kendall will focus on implementing traditional giving programs and creating new avenues for support while building strong relationships with our wonderful Bishop’s community. I’m very excited to see how our annual giving program grows and transforms!”

Lucas, who previously donated her time and talent as chair of the alumni relations commission of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, a global higher education association of more than 185 Christian institutions dedicated to advancing faith and intellect for the common good, shares the same excitement.

“My hope is to continue to build the culture of philanthropy here at Bishop’s, resulting in increased resources to empower faculty and staff to live out Bishop’s mission of nurturing students of intellect and character to think independently, learn collaboratively, grow their sense of self and act with greater purpose,” she says.

Assisting Lucas in her work are this year’s annual giving co-chairs, Abby Feldman (Leila ’24, Sabrina ’26 and Annie ’29) and Jessica Schuster (Sydney Kass ’28 and Brevin Kass ’30). Both current parents, these women have served the School community in a multitude of voluntary capacities—Feldman as annual giving captain, grade-level parent and vice president of communications of the Parents’ Association board, and Schuster as annual giving captain, chair of the middle school committee, advisory group parent, grade-level parent and a member of the gala committee.

The lifeblood of the advancement program at Bishop’s, comprising six percent of the School’s operating budget, gifts to The Bishop’s Fund are unrestricted and reach every corner of campus, greatly impacting academics, athletics, the visual and performing arts, faculty and staff professional development and technology. These unrestricted gifts allow Bishop’s to meet emerging needs, respond to new initiatives before full funding is in place, and support innovative ideas from students and faculty.

Lucas notes the overarching goal of The Bishop’s Fund is to offer all members of the Bishop’s community the opportunity to provide foundational and essential support to the School through gifts of all sizes—large, small and anywhere in between—collectively making a difference and ensuring the future of Bishop’s and its enduring excellence for generations to come.

“The work I get to do in annual giving makes giving back accessible at all levels and focuses on the communal work of coming together to make a difference now and for the future,” Lucas says. “In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve witnessed many alumni, parents, and colleagues who care deeply about the continued growth and impact of this campus. I look forward to giving my small piece to continue the legacy of Bishop’s.”

“Over the years, the Annual Fund has had many different names and purposes. Calling it The Bishop’s Fund promotes inclusion, unites our giving efforts, and joins together all those who are linked through Bishop’s.”
