From the Assistant Headmaster for External Affairs

Dear Woodberry Faithful,

You will notice that we have made a significant change to the Woodberry Forest School Annual Report. This revised, condensed booklet spotlights powerful stories behind the incredible philanthropy this past year, which we hope will illustrate why Woodberry is strong.

The lists of donors that we have typically included in the printed report have moved online and can be viewed at woodberryannualreport.org. Use the password gotigers to access the lists. Aside from lowering print costs, moving the lists online allows you to more readily search for your name or those of your friends and classmates.

Though the format is new, the stories from this past year are similar to those of recent years. Woodberry benefits from an extraordinary community of alumni who are devoted to ensuring that the boys here today enjoy the same meaningful experiences that they enjoyed as students, whether that was five years ago or fifty years ago. We also benefit from a wonderful community of parents — both those whose boys are here now and those whose boys have graduated — who recognize what a profound impact Woodberry has had on their sons. As the mother of two Woodberry alumni, I’m reminded constantly of how much the school helped shape the young men they are today.

We are a community bound by a culture of character and committed to the Woodberry experience. We thank you for your unceasing support of Woodberry Forest’s mission, vision, and values. Please know that all of us in the alumni and development office always stand ready to assist you in any way we can.

With gratitude,

Catherine Wharton Assistant Headmaster for External Affairs
