FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL 

Dear Parents, Alumni, Faculty, Staff, and Friends, 

Each year in the Annual Report I take a moment 

to reflect on our students’ wide range of achievements 

and awards. Many of you have read about them as they 

happened throughout the year in our digital newsletter, 

the Flying Lion. So rather than review them here this 

year, I would like to share something a little different 

with you. 

During my sabbatical last year I read a great deal 

about authentic assessment of students’ learning and 

I visited 10 of our peer schools, and both reinforced 

my conviction that many aspects of the Rowland Hall 

experience are truly special and hard to quantify. At the 

end of each year, I feel great pride in our cumulative student accomplishments, but the 

individual students who spoke about the tangible and intangible benefits of a Rowland 

Hall education are what truly impressed me this year. That’s why we’ve chosen to print 

two of the 15 speeches given by students at the fifth grade commencement in this 

year-end publication. Each speaker was a fine example of how our school empowers 

its students to write and share their ideas in front of a large audience. The eighth grade 

and senior speeches were equally powerful, but I was particularly moved by these young 

graduates as they reflected on their elementary years and anticipated the big step to 

middle school. 

If you’re as inspired as I was after reading the following essays, please visit our newly 

redesigned website at rowlandhall.org where all the speeches are posted. 

I look forward to the new school year, confident it will be stimulating and enriching 

for students and faculty alike. During the course of the coming year our students 

will win many awards and demonstrate what they have learned in impressive ways. 

But, I will always be most pleased at our students’ remarkable poise, confidence, and 

intellectual maturity as they reflect on their experiences in their own words. 

Sincerely, 

Alan Sparrow 

Head of School 

FIFTH GRADE ESSAYS 

The Journey of Learning 

by Sydney Young 

The journey of learning is truly a gift 

and Rowland Hall has made my, and 

all the other students’, elementary 

educational experience from the 

beginning to graduation, incredible. 

I know that everyone’s effort put into 

this school paid off to give us the 

excellent education we have today. 

As the renowned Maya Angelou said, 

“When you know better, you do better.” 

In the very beginning, we were all welcomed with open arms 

into Rowland Hall. The Beginning School introduced math, 

science, social studies, and so many other topics in interesting and 

creative ways to all the children. Now that I am in fifth grade, I 

look back and see how much their teaching has helped me. They 

have created memories in each and every student’s mind like 

acting out stories, reading with older buddies, games played in 

P.E., all of our incredible teachers, and so much more that I cannot 

even begin to describe. The teachers showed us how to deal with 

problems and disagreements in relationships, how to treat others 

nicely, and how to work as a cooperative group. Everything they 

have taught my classmates and me has helped me and let me 

explore the world in fun and interactive ways. 

Once I finished Beginning School, I went to the Lower School. 

In first grade, I learned to read. When you can read, you can 

spell, and you can write. If they hadn’t taught me how to read, I 

wouldn’t be able to write this speech today or succeed in life. The 

teachers taught us math in the next level and continued our lessons 

on addition and subtraction, which is the heart of all math. Once 

we completed first grade we went on to second grade and gained 

more knowledge (fast addition and subtraction facts, the building 

blocks of multiplication, and more) that helped us do well in third 

grade where our multiplication lessons began. Then there was 

fourth grade. Things became more complicated, but because of 

the incredible system and lessons I was taught, it was easier. Fourth 

4 2011 - 2012

grade really helped me in fifth grade where it all 

came together in math, science, music, writing, 

and other topics. Throughout the grades, all of 

my classmates and I can probably say the same 

thing, “Thank you, Rowland Hall.” 

Now here we all are graduating from fifth 

grade and going into sixth grade where we will 

continue to gain the knowledge and learn the 

lessons that will last us our lives. Rowland Hall 

has helped us not only learn the lessons that all 

of us must know, they have helped us discover 

ourselves. If we are athletes, artists, musicians, 

performers, scientists, technicians, or perhaps 

a job we have seen on a field trip. Thank you 

to each and every one of the specialty teachers 

and to the people who have organized this great 

school for all of us. 

Rowland Hall’s lessons have shown us 

who we are, the academic things we need to 

know, and how to live our lives in great ways. 

Elementary school is the beginning of a great 

life we hopefully all will have because of our 

education. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 

“Intelligence plus character – that is the goal 

of true education.” Rowland Hall has met this 

goal in elementary school. On behalf of my 

classmates, I would like to say: Thank you very 

much, Rowland Hall, and to our parents who 

have made this opportunity possible.

My Rowland Hall Experience 

by Grace Carlebach 

I remember nine months ago when I came here 

as a new student. I had just moved from Hong 

Kong where I had been living for three years. I only 

knew a few people, but that didn’t matter because 

everyone welcomed and included me. I remember 

my first day and how out-of-place I felt. But Shelby, 

one of the few people I knew, always stayed by 

my side and explained everything. Another thing 

that people were very helpful about was explaining 

Rowland Hall’s traditions. To be honest, I didn’t expect there to be so many! But I 

had many helpful people explain them to me. 

I came here from a really great school that had many great customs and 

traditions, but was also half a world away. When I first got here I was worried that, 

even though I was born in Utah, I wouldn’t fit in. At first, I did slightly feel that I 

didn’t fit in, but many people helped me by including me in their games at recess. 

One of my fondest memories of the beginning of the year was playing “Fish Out 

of Water” with my new friends. This is just one of the ways people included me. 

They also sat with me at lunch and were happy to help me with any questions that 

I had. 

When I came to this school, there were some areas in which I wanted to 

improve. One of them was my ability to do math. At my old school, math was 

like an Olympic sport; you were expected to train for it outside of class and 

perform at a gold medal level as soon as you stepped into the classroom. I envy the 

people who can do that, but I wasn’t exactly one of them. Here at Rowland Hall 

the learning environment is better for me because if you make a mistake in math 

class the teachers are there to help you learn from it. So, Rowland Hall has really 

boosted my confidence in math. I think that because I have experienced success 

in math class, I feel it is possible for me to do well in math, so I try a lot harder. 

Thank you Rowland Hall for helping me improve in math and also to enjoy it 

more. 

As I go forward in Rowland Hall I will remember how I felt as a new student, 

and when I meet another new student I will try to make him or her feel as 

welcome as you all did for me. 


From the Chair of the Board of Trustees: 

Are We the Kind of School We Want to Be? 

I hope you read the New York Times story, “Risky Rise of the Good- 

Grade Pill” (June 10, 2012) reporting that students from the best college 

preparatory schools are taking amphetamines in hopes of doing better on 

SAT and other standardized tests. It must not be a small problem. It was 

on the front page of the Sunday edition. 

Someone is sending these students a terrible message: “You won’t 

amount to much if you don’t get into the Ivy League,” “You aren’t good 

enough to be my son as you are,” “We only care about results,” “Do 

what it takes to win.” 

Rowland Hall abhors this message. Our mission is “to inspire students 

to lead ethical and productive lives.” That means to lead children to be 

emotionally healthy, hard-working contributors to society, happy with 

who they are. Do we not recognize this integrity in our programs every 

year at Rowland Hall? This is our core. No student at our school needs 

to take a “good-grade pill” to show his or her worth. Our children are 

reaching their potential, and not incidentally, they are happy. 

This understanding deepens for me every year. And it leads to 

action. We must protect the unique relationship of our faculty with our 

students, the promise of our school to educate the whole child. Now, at 

the beginning of summer, the NYT tells us about another great absurdity 

our children must discern. I realize again that our commitment and 

action to advance Rowland Hall is vital for our children. 

I believe that undergirding our school with a greatly 

improved, new campus will help our faculty teach and 

our students learn. In the new school year, we need to 

break ground for our new campus and get started with 

the athletic fields. Let’s not worry about the SATs this 

summer. Let us build something to help our teachers 

with their work. Let us proclaim a message that is true: 

our children’s learning is worth everything Rowland 

Hall can give them. 

Sincerely, 

Bob Steiner 

Board of Trustees Chair 


2011 - 2012 FINANCE REPORT 

One day in mid-May I arrived a few minutes early to pick up my third grade son who had not yet returned 

from a class field trip. It was a beautiful day, so rather than sit in the car I walked along the fence line 

dividing the McCarthey Campus from the site of the future Steiner Campus. In my mind’s eye the vacant 

land was full of activity. Teams were practicing on the fields, while students were buzzing between the 

buildings pursuing arts, academics, outdoor science projects, and socializing. Perhaps most relevant to my 

vision were the third graders who, rather than riding the bus back from their field trip to Lincoln Street 

where they had seen “James and The Giant Peach,” were laughing, and playing as they walked beneath an 

arch back to their own division on our united campus. It was a great vision and brought to life the reason the 

administration, board of trustees, and, yes, even your finance committee is so passionate about the Capital 

Campaign that will make the vision a reality. 

And, while the Capital Campaign is critical to the long-term mission of the school, we must continually 

stay focused on the present. The finance committee of the Board is pleased to report that the school will 

enter the 2012-2013 academic year on a strong financial footing. Enrollment is excellent, gifts to the Annual 

Fund have been generous, and our endowment has helped us increase financial aid budgets. 

The true measure of our school’s success is the high quality education our children receive each day, 

yet there are several financial metrics we track to make sure every dollar is effectively used. Each year we 

benchmark our school against approximately 52 K-12 day schools around the country. Rowland Hall 

consistently ranks among schools with the lowest tuition rates, yet also consistently ranks above the mean in 

faculty pay. We also rank among the top handful of schools with the highest percentage of revenues devoted 

to salaries; our money is directed to where it will do the most good, attracting and retaining the best possible 

faculty to work with our children each day. 

The coming year will bring new opportunities and challenges to Rowland Hall. Those of us charged with 

financial responsibility for the school pledge to maintain the strength of our educational program while 

doing all in our power to build a school fit to house an extraordinary vision.

Salute to Departing Trustees 

Every year the Board of Trustees and school community thanks and bids farewell 

to dedicated volunteers who have worked hard for many years on behalf of the 

school. This year we would like to give special thanks to four trustees who have been 

exceptional in their service. 

Kelly Patterson served eight years on the Board. Kelly is a professor at 

Brigham Young University and brought his experience to the education 

committee including two years as its chair. A true “numbers man,” Kelly helped 

the school with surveys and graphing, teaching us effective ways to gather 

pertinent information and systematically analyze the data. He served on the 

nominating committee and was an invaluable advisor to school administration. 

Tiffany Glasgow served six years on the Board. As a physician at the 

University of Utah specializing in pediatric gastroenterology, Tiffany generously 

shared her medical knowledge, advising us through public health issues such as 

the H1N1 flu scare a few years ago. Tiffany served on the education committee 

and chaired the nominating committee for two years. Because of her children’s 

involvement with the Rowmark Junior program, she brought particular insight 

to the Board on issues regarding the ski academy. We were all fortunate to have 

her clear head and expertise on many issues. 

Shari Veverka served three years representing the Lincoln Street Campus’ 

Home and School Association. She was an active contributor on the 

education committee and an important voice for a wide range of parent 

views and concerns. Shari continues to be a committed member of the 

Home and School Association and we also thank her for her great service 

to several Auction committees. Shari, we appreciate your support and 

dedication to the school. 

Linda Graves has completed her sixth year on the Board, where she played 

a very important role representing issues unique to Rowland Hall families 

living in Park City. She served on the education committee, Capital 

Campaign committee, and the nominating committee, and she expertly 

chaired the solicitations committee of the 2010 Auction. We greatly 

appreciate all the time and effort Linda was willing to devote to the school. 

Thank you, again, to our outgoing trustees for their hard work and 

dedication. We all benefit from their efforts. Students, faculty, and staff, 

especially, extend their gratitude to these parents who continuously give 

their time and resources to the school.

Welcome, New Middle School Principal Tyler Fonarow 

We were delighted to welcome Tyler Fonarow to the position of Middle School principal at 

Rowland Hall in July. Tyler came to us from The Hamlin School in San Francisco where he served 

as the director of community and character education. During Tyler’s 17 years at Hamlin he also 

wore many other hats, teaching math, science, English, citizenship, and physical education. In 

addition, he served as their athletic director and their summer camp director for over a decade. 

Mr. Fonarow graduated from the University of California, Davis with a B.S. and earned his 

masters degree from San Francisco State. Tyler, his wife Gwen, and their two children, Tessa and 

Josie moved to SLC this summer. Gwen is currently the Controller of Method, Inc. 

The 14-member search committee of faculty, staff, and parents met for the first time in the spring 

of 2011 to organize this search process and identify the characteristics we would seek in a new 

principal. Last fall we received over 150 applications from all over the country and even a few 

from abroad. Six semifinalists for the position were invited to visit our school. During the second 

week of December, 70 faculty, staff, parents, and students interviewed two very strong final 

candidates. According to Head of School Alan Sparrow, “After such a thorough process, we are 

very excited that Tyler accepted our offer to become the new Middle School principal.” 


Admission Director Karen Hyde Retires after 28 Years 

An excerpt from remarks made by a colleague, Admission Director Kathy Gundersen, at 

Ms. Hyde’s Retirement Party in May 

Karen has been an admission director at each division of this school at various times 

in her long, successful career at Rowland Hall. For 28 years, she has served as the 

ambassador of the school, a genuinely welcoming presence to prospective families, 

an insightful evaluator of potential students, a cheerleader for the underdog, and an 

indefatigable overseer of the world of admissions. When I say indefatigable, I mean 

it. Karen has worked harder than anyone I know, ensuring that Rowland Hall is full 

of lively, imaginative students who will fill our halls with the sounds of active, heady 

learning. She has given her heart and soul to this job, so much so that it has been 

more of a calling than a job. 

Karen knows everyone in the Rowland Hall community – and beyond. She 

doesn’t just know them; she knows their mother, their father, their uncle, their first 

spouse, and the first person in their family to attend Rowland Hall. She is a walking 

genealogist. In a state that reveres family ties, Karen Hyde knows all the ties that 

bind. 

Karen truly understands the essence of Rowland Hall and has shared that with 

thousands of prospective parents. One of her recent accomplishments of which she 

may be most proud was her part in writing the proposal for the Malone Family 

Foundation Scholarship. She worked earnestly on it and was thrilled to be part of the 

process that invited the first three Malone Scholars to Rowland Hall this year. 

Karen has been a mentor, a colleague and a most importantly, a friend to me. I 

had exactly one day of training with my predecessor before I began my job here. 

But, I had my own version of the “bat phone,” Karen’s direct line. Anytime I had a 

question, a problem or just wanted to hear her voice of wisdom or wit, I would call. 

Over the years I have talked to Karen about everything under the sun: the validity 

of recommendations, inscrutable applicants, helicopter parents, children at risk, 

inspiring teachers, and refreshingly candid students. Sometimes we would veer away 

from admission to politics, education, literature, or religion. Our sons, her daughter 

and now, her grandson Will (RH Class of 2027) fill our conversations as well. 

Karen has left her mark on this school in the form of thousands of students and 

now alumni, who in turn, have shaped the school. They will miss her smile and 

encouragement. Her colleagues will miss her inimitable wit, and I will now have to 

put her home number on speed dial. 

Remarks by alumnae Mary Anne Wetzel ’01 at Ms. Hyde’s 

Retirement Party in May 

“It was a dark and stormy night. I woke from a vivid dream, 

frightened and drenched in sweat. In the dream, I had gone 

out to the garbage cans at my house, and, to my horror, 

discovered a corpse. Frozen with terror, I didn’t know what 

to do. And then, it came to me. I didn’t call my parents, 

or go inside and notify my husband. Very calmly, I began 

walking through this dream world in search of Karen Hyde, 

because I was sure she would know what to do and she 

would be able to help me. Even though this was a dream, I 

know my subconscious was right. Karen Hyde was a good 

choice. 

I can’t put into words the impact Karen has had on my 

life. She has helped so many students. Mine is only one of 

countless stories about her helping families find a place at 

Rowland Hall. 

I came to a Rowland Hall open house with my dad. 

Within the hour I knew I wanted to go to this school, but 

it just wasn’t feasible for my family. Luckily for me, my 


Rowland Hall journey didn’t end there. Karen remembered me, and 

a few months later told me I should apply for a scholarship. She 

guided me through the process and soon I found myself in her office 

for an interview. I was nervous, but her warm smile made me feel 

comfortable and at ease. A few days later, Karen called my house 

with the good news. I was awarded a Cumming scholarship and my 

Rowland Hall journey began. 

Karen was a constant advocate and ambassador for new students 

like me. She was the friendly, familiar face in the office when I 

came to pick up my summer reading. She would say hello to me 

in the hallway and check in to see how I was doing. She came to 

performances I was in and was always there to congratulate the cast 

after the show. 

Throughout my three years in the Upper School, Karen was a 

constant part of school life. Even after I graduated, she would always 

come to the young alumni events during the holidays. Karen always 

remembered everyone and would ask us what we were up to and 

how we liked college. 

When I got my first real grown-up job (that didn’t involve retail 

or food service), it was at Rowland Hall. Now I was fortunate 

enough to work with Karen. As our professional relationship 

formed, I found even more things to love about her. For one thing, 

she has a fantastic sense of humor and even has an irreverent side. 

One of the funniest moments of my life was the first time I heard 

Karen Hyde swear. 

In many ways, Karen has been my Rowland Hall mom. Or 

sometimes, a really cool aunt you want to hang out and drink wine 

with. Our relationship has evolved as I have grown up, and she has 

always been there. 

She is irreplaceable. She is one-of-a-kind. She is a kindred spirit. 

Thank you Karen, for all you have done for me and for so many 

others. When you leave to take on new life adventures, I will miss 

you. And I know Rowland Hall will be missing a piece of its heart.” 

Changes and New Faces Advancement 

Earlier this spring, Mary Anne Wetzel ‘01 took on the position of the Alumni 

Program Director, and now with the departure of Reagan Tolboe, Mary Anne will 

also head up the directorship of the 2012 Auction. We wish Reagan the very best as 

she assumes a position in development with Ballet West. Her presence and talents 

at Rowland Hall will be sorely missed, and we are thrilled that she will continue to 

officially participate with the school as a member of the Alumni Committee. 

Hilary Gibbons, Robyn Payne, and Mary Anne Wetzel 

Mary Anne has worked in many facets of the school: Middle School 

administration, admissions, Annual Fund and now alumni programs. Mary 

Anne’s love and knowledge of the school and our students will dovetail 

beautifully into this new position. 

With Mary Anne’s move, we were fortunate to find Robyn Payne, RH 

graduate of 2002, to take the reins of the Annual Fund and Lead Gifts, and to 

share her expertise in fundraising. Robyn came to us from I-Freedom Direct 

where she worked as a loan officer. She graduated from the University of Utah 

with a degree in communication. We are thrilled to have Robyn join the team. 


With Development Associate Coral Azarian departing Rowland 

Hall for new adventures in graduate school, we were fortunate to 

quickly fill her role with Hilary Amoss Gibbons, Rowland Hall Class 

of 1996. After graduating from Rowland Hall, Hilary earned her B.A. 

in French and psychology from Middlebury College, and she brings 

to her new job a variety of professional experiences in marketing and

GRADUATES OF The Class of 2012 

The 66 members of the Class of 2012 clearly understood the 

college counseling office’s philosophy that college choice is, first 

and foremost, about the fit between institution and student. We 

congratulate them as they matriculate this fall into 45 institutions 

around the country as well as into several international schools. 

This year, as in previous years, more than half of our senior class 

received offers of merit scholarships to colleges. This class has the 

highest percentage of National Merit Scholar Semifinalists in the 

state of Utah, the highest percentage of Rowmark Ski Academy 

graduates ever, and the highest number of “lifers” of any class at 

Rowland Hall to date. 

What follows is a list of the colleges and universities to which our 

graduates will matriculate, followed by a list of all the schools to which 

our graduates were offered admission.

Congratulations to the following teachers who were honored this June for 

outstanding service to their profession and to the school. 

The Sumner Family Faculty Awards are given each year to outstanding 

faculty members in each division who have demonstrated a love for teaching 

and excellence in their fields. It is an award given by a family who has shown 

an unparalleled commitment to the school for three generations. The award 

symbolizes the Sumner family’s high regard for the faculty. Congratulations 

to the 2011-2012 recipients of the Sumner Family Faculty Awards: 

Beginning School: Alesa Davis, 2PreK and 3PreK Assistant Teacher 

Lower School: Stuart McCandless, 5th Grade Teacher 

Middle School: Christian Waters, 6th Grade Math and Science Teacher 

Upper School: Dorothy Herrington, Upper School Eastern Civilizations Teacher 

Dorothy Herrington 

The Cary Jones Faculty 

Mentor Award was 

established through an 

anonymous gift to the school 

in honor of Mr. Jones’ 

dedication to the faculty when 

he was a trustee and chair of 

the Board. This year Rowland 

Hall proudly honors veteran 

Beginning School faculty 

member Isabelle Buhler for 

demonstrating excellence in 

the classroom and service 

to the entire Rowland Hall 

community with the Cary 

Jones Faculty Mentor Award. 

Lower School Art Teacher Kathryn Czarnecki Receives 

Marquardt Award 

The Marquardt Award was established in 2011 through a generous 

gift from Bob Marquardt, a long-time former trustee and Board 

chair, and father of three Rowland Hall students. This gift to our 

endowment annually funds an 

extraordinary, faculty-proposed, 

professional development 

opportunity that will benefit the 

school as a whole. 

This year, The Marquardt 

Award will support Kathryn 

Czarnecki’s proposal to 

attend the Les Tapies Art and 

Architecture summer program 

at the American School in 

Switzerland. 

Kathryn Czarnecki 

The seminar offers teachers the opportunity to explore ideas for 

strengthening their visual art departments, while reconnecting them 

with their individual artistic roots and rekindling their passion 

for teaching art. An important dimension of the program is the 

interactive, hands-on involvement teachers have in a wide range of 

workshops, seminars, discussions, presentations, lectures, activities, 

and field trips, which draw on the rich cultural heritage of southern 

France. 

Ms. Czar, as her students know her, looks forward to the 

opportunity to share and learn from teachers from around the 

world on ways to implement seminar ideas into the Rowland Hall 

Lower School art curriculum. One curricular unit she plans to 

develop from her summer experience explores landscape painting 

through French artists and working ‘en plein air on the McCarthey 

Campus.

Bruce Hunter 

Teresa Nelson 

In recognition of his outstanding 

contributions to the profession 

of college admission counseling, 

Rowland Hall College Counselor 

Bruce Hunter was presented with 

the 2012 Roger H. Campbell 

Distinguished Service Award by the 

Rocky Mountain Association for 

College Admission Counseling. 

Twelve years ago, the RMACAC 

Executive Board inaugurated the 

Roger H. Campbell Distinguished 

Service Award to recognize 

individuals who have achieved 

unquestioned excellence in counseling 

students about the transition from 

high school to college. According to 

the RMACAC, “These individuals 

have made significant contributions 

to RMACAC and our region, through 

service to students and professionals, 

and have met the highest standards of 

honesty, decency, and commitment to 

the higher education process.” 


GRANDPARENTS 

“Our experience at Rowland Hall began on the 

Avenues Campus, many years ago, when we chose 

Rowland Hall for our children, who are now adults. It 

was a great school then, and today, it is still clear that 

Rowland Hall continues to hold true to the value of 

academic excellence and so much more. Two of our 

grandchildren are currently enrolled at the McCarthey 

Campus, and we were immediately impressed by the 

facility – the way the space was designed to provide an 

exceptional learning experience both in and out of the 

classroom.” 

As a life-long, professional artist, Merrily says she 

is especially impressed by what she sees being taught 

in art class – pottery, oil painting, pastels, crafts, and 

even photography. “I also love the emphasis on nature 

and respecting the earth. The classrooms are so fun and 

inviting, sometimes I wish I could stay there all day.” 

“When we see our grandkids here, they are excited 

about learning,” Morris adds, “The teachers genuinely 

understand the needs of the students and provide an 

environment that is both enriching and fun.” 

The Kulmers look forward to Grandparents’ Day 

each year. “Our grandchildren are always so excited to 

share their school with us. And we love the opportunity 

to witness the world they are exploring.” 

Merrily and Morris Kulmer, 

Grandparents of Rowan and Alexandra Burnett 


TEACHER 

My love of Rowland Hall dates back to my own experiences here, 

as a young Rowland Hall student. And even though we have a new 

campus, Rowland Hall remains for children what it has always 

been—a safe, caring environment for learning and discovering. 

Years ago, that same environment gave me not just a love of 

learning, but the desire to instill that same passion in others. It 

also planted and nourished seeds of confidence, rationality, and 

happiness, qualities that followed me through college, graduate 

school, and into my professional life. 

If I were to condense into one statement what makes 

Rowland Hall special, I would say that this school is better at 

achieving the abstract ideal of developing each student’s potential 

to the fullest than any other school I have seen. My secret as to 

how I try to continue this tradition? Over the course of each 

school year, I transform a group of discrete individuals into a 

functional unit that acts like a family. The critical part of this 

transformation comes from teaching the children how to resolve 

their conflicts with each other and with me, using respectful words 

to get at the heart of our disagreements. In early school years 

this consumes almost as much of our time as does the mastery 

of academics. Learning academics is important and fun; learning 

to know yourself and to get along with others is important, but 

sometimes not so fun. I believe the combination of a strong sense 

of self and a challenging curriculum sets the stage for academic 

excellence. Achieving this balance is my goal. 

Teresa Nelson, 

Second Grade Teacher 

COMMUNITY / ANNUAL REPORT 27

Student 

At Rowland Hall, I have had great opportunities to connect 

with people both in and outside the classroom. As a member 

of both the boys’ golf and basketball teams I have formed tight 

bonds with all of my teammates through the ups and downs 

of a sports season. Sports are a great medium to meet people, 

and being a part of a team gives one a great chance to share 

a common love for the game. Sports also bring the school 

together. We have a great fan-base that travels hours to attend 

almost every major event. 

Another great extra-curricular that sets Rowland Hall apart 

is our Interim program. Just before third trimester finals, 

everyone in the high school has the opportunity to go on a 

local or foreign trip, or participate in service projects. The 

Interim groups are composed of mixed grades, which offer 

great opportunities to get to know students from other grades. 

I chose to go on the Spain interim and I had a great time 

making new friends. Together, we toured Madrid, Toledo, 

Seville, and Granada, enjoyed exploring both the city and 

countryside, and practiced our Spanish. It was a great bonding 

experience. 

Whether in the classroom, on the court, or in special 

extracurricular activities, Rowland Hall creates a strong sense 

of community and lasting friendships. 

Caleb Chodosh, 

Class of 2014 


Parent 

My family moved from the San Francisco Bay area to Salt 

Lake City nine years ago, and in looking for a school for our 

two young daughters, academic excellence and diversity were 

our biggest priorities. My husband, Raj, and I visited many 

schools, but during the tour at Rowland Hall, the happy faces 

of the children we observed confirmed the school would be 

the best fit for our family. Little did we know at the time, 

how much more we would be gaining. We have joined a 

community that has become our extended family, one that 

shares and believes in giving back. Our daughters have been 

encouraged by faculty to share their differences in order to 

give others a more global perspective, as well as respecting 

and learning from other cultures, experiences, and views. 

Rowland Hall’s skilled faculty, small class sizes, 

commitment to service, athletics, and arts programs, and 

positive role models created the beginning of a lifetime 

inspired by learning. Our girls, who started in the Beginning 

School and are now in Middle School, continue to thrive, 

gain understanding of the world around them, ask questions, 

and love to learn. They love their school, and so do we.

Alumnus 

Rowland Hall is an amazing school to experience. I began my 

education here as a toddler and continued through my senior year. 

I grew up feeling that my school was like a second family. I have 

friends to this day that I met in my beginning years of school and 

it has been amazing to see us all grow into adults. As I entered high 

school and started to think about my future beyond Rowland Hall, 

I was given the room to grow as an individual. I had always had 

a love for fashion, clothing, and business, and in my high school 

experience these passions were fostered. My college counselor 

found some very amazing and intimate universities from which I 

could choose for my next step. Since my time at Rowland Hall I 

have opened a local clothing boutique and I believe the networking 

I started at Rowland Hall has helped my business become 

successful and made my dreams a reality.

ALUMNI 

Alumni Join the All-School Carnival Tradition 

Many Rowland Hall graduates remember the “Bazaar” held at the Avenues Campus. The Upper 

School Student Council resurrected this long-standing tradition last year, in the form of the All- 

School Carnival. This spring, the Alumni Association sponsored a booth with a lollipop tree and 

a duck pond. The booth was a huge hit with kids young and old, and the alumni volunteers loved 

interacting with current students of all ages. The booth raised $207, which was donated to the 

Alumni Scholarship Fund. Special thanks to our alumni volunteers: Rachel Sweet Martin ’88, 

Nancy Borgenicht ’60, Hillary Amoss Gibbons ’96, Conor Bentley ’01, Libby Mitchell ’92, 

and Morgan Sorensen ’07. There is no doubt the Alumni Association will continue to be a part of 

this fun tradition for years to come!

University for fall 2012. Lindsey and Tori will 

be apartment-mates this year. Although both 

are super busy with jobs, school, friends, and 

boyfriends, they seem to find time to enjoy all 

the City has to offer.

ADVANCEMENT 

Charitable Giving at Rowland Hall is Alive and Well 

Albert Einstein, widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists and philosophers of all time, is quoted as saying, “The value of a man 

resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.” It is an insight Rowland Hall families and friends put into action every day. 

This year, you contributed slightly over $17 million to our Capital Campaign, donated $810,000 to the Annual Fund, and will, once again, 

dedicate hundreds of hours toward creating a successful Auction fundraiser this fall. 

All of us at the school are inspired and awed by this community’s generosity. We are honored to be one of your top charitable giving priorities 

and in return, we pledge to utilize your gifts to benefit all our students and further Rowland Hall’s educational mission. 

Successful Year for the Annual Fund 

The Annual Fund raised $821,673.00, surpassing the goal for the 

year by over $67,000. 

We were able to surpass our goal thanks to the contributions from 

you! Thank you parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, alumni, and 

friends. Because you chose to participate in the 2011-2012 Annual 

Fund, we were able to support the things that make a Rowland Hall 

education full and rich, above and beyond the basic curriculum 

– the arts, music, technology integration, faculty professional 

development, facilities upgrades, and financial aid. 

Very special thanks to the 2011-2012 Annual Fund chairs, Ira Rubinfeld and Willamarie Huelskamp. 

This was Ira and Willamarie’s second year serving as Annual Fund chairs, and we cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and dedication. 

They have served as the passionate champions for the Annual Fund, educating families about how crucial it is to the school. Their leadership and 

commitment, along with their positive approach that inspired people to give, played a key role in this year’s achievement. 

Faculty and Staff PAR-TIC-I-PATE at 100% 

A big “thank you” to our wonderful faculty and staff, who, once again showed their support for the school and participated in the Annual Fund. 


Jill Lang to Chair 2012-2013 Annual Fund 

We are pleased to announce that Jill Lang will serve as next year’s 

Annual Fund chair. Jill joined the Board of Trustees in 2010, 

and serves on the education and finance committees. She and 

her husband, David, have three boys –Will, Jack and Drew. Jack 

will enter sixth grade and Drew will enter third grade at Rowland 

Hall this fall. Jill’s positive attitude, dedication to the school, and 

passion for the importance of the Annual Fund will be a major 

asset to what will surely be a successful 2012-2013 campaign. 

As you know, the Annual Fund is a crucial line item in the school’s budget. Tuition 

doesn’t cover everything that goes into giving our students the best education possible. 

In response to this, many people ask, “Why don’t you just raise tuition?” The truth is, 

many families would find even a small increase in tuition prohibitive. By asking for taxdeductible 

donations from the entire school community, we can successfully fund the 

extraordinary programs we provide without raising tuition. 

Some people can give a little, and some people can give a lot, but the important 

thing to remember is that every gift matters. We hope everyone will do their part by 

participating at whatever level is possible for their family. Your donations to the Annual 

Fund give programs like the arts, music, technology, faculty development, and financial 

aid the support they need. Please join us this year, and help make the Annual Fund 

more successful than ever!

Annuity for Rowland Hall 

Donor Receives Lifetime Income 

Many alumni are generous and loyal contributors to 

Rowland Hall, whether through gifts to the Annual 

Fund or to the Capital Campaign. 

Recently, an alumna called to ask if she could 

anonymously give another type of gift – a gift 

that would provide lifetime income for her – and 

simultaneously benefit our students. We were thrilled 

to help her establish a Charitable Gift Annuity. An 

annuity, in essence, is a contract in which the charity, 

in return for a transfer of assets, agrees to pay a fixed 

income to an individual for his/her lifetime. 

A Charitable Gift Annuity is a savvy estate-planning 

tool. In this case, the donor was able to transfer 

appreciated stock to Rowland Hall and receive an 

immediate income tax deduction for a portion of the 

gift, and, in addition, annually receive income for her 

lifetime. The principal assets ultimately pass back to 

the school at the end of the donor’s life. 


Extraordinary Vision: A Campaign for Rowland Hall 

The Board of Trustees unanimously voted this past March to approve a motion that 

will allow Rowland Hall to break ground for the first phase of the new Steiner Campus 

sooner rather than later. Phase 1A of the Capital Campaign, at a price tag of $6 million, 

includes: grading of the entire site and completion of all the infrastructure for the entire 

$60 million construction project (not sexy, but the necessary first step!); installation 

of not one, but two synthetic turf soccer/lacrosse fields, one regulation sized and one 

practice field, plus seating and landscaping; construction of the trail from Sunnyside 

Avenue to Mt. Olivet Cemetery; and fees for project management and architectural 

planning and design. 

The great news is that $3.2 million of the $6 million goal for Phase 1A has already 

been donated by generous Rowland Hall families! According to the Board’s motion, 

construction can begin when we receive $2.8 million more in pledges, and have 50 to 66 

percent of those pledges fulfilled. We think that’s doable by spring 2013. 

This fall, trustees will begin reaching out to every family at the school in order to raise 

the remaining $2.8 million needed to build the fields on the new Steiner Campus. They 

will host gatherings, set up meetings to ask for your support, and put their time and 

talent to work for the betterment of our school. 

The success of this campaign depends on all of us – parents, faculty and staff, 

grandparents, alumni and friends – to give generously. Please contact Director of 

Development Libby Ellis to find out how you can get involved.
