grAduAtion 2014

seniors graduated from St. Andrew’s episcopal School on Sunday, May 25th in a beautiful ceremony inside Founders hall gymnasium. A diverse class of scholars, artists, athletes, and servants, these students from the class of 2014 were accepted to 179 colleges and universities from around the world, and received more than eight million dollars in merit scholarship money. they traveled the globe during their Junior experience trips, competed courageously in Spc championships and at the iSAS Fine Arts Festivals, contributed significantly to non-profits through their community service work, and impressed faculty and staff during their last days on campus with their Senior project presentations, a requirement to graduate.

the seniors elected Art history faculty member Marsha russell to be their faculty speaker at graduation, who said, “All of us here have watched with wonder and relished both the ways you have grown and the ways you have supported growth in one another. being with you has reminded us, every single day, that the way we take care of others matters.”

graduate Maddie hampton (’13) was elected as the Senior Speaker at graduation and passed along her own words of wisdom, “Failure is nothing more than the opportunity to learn. it is a well-known cliché, but one that has a lot of truth to it— failure brings about learning and i would even go so far as to say that it is impossible to fully learn something without failing at least a little in the beginning.”

Seniors Austin burns and olivia hindera won the Scholarship Award for outstanding academic achievement, passion for learning, and pursuit of excellence. zeek price received the hilary h. carlson Award; Sarah rulon-Miller received the Scott Field bailey Servant Award; Frankie chen was given the cornerstone Award which recognizes courage, creativity, and love of school; and bri hardeman received the lucy collins nazro Award for contributing in original ways “to improve the life of students, faculty, and staff of St. Andrew’s.” head of School Sean Murphy presented upper School chaplain rob leacock with the lucy collins nazro Faculty Service Award and Art history teacher Marsha russell received the inaugural St. Andrew’s teaching Award given in recognition of outstanding work with students.


“ All of us in this room, your parents and your teachers, have given their lives to raising you and bringing you to this day. And believe me, it is bittersweet. But we are going to focus on the sweet part. You have heard me say that a part of you will always remain here on the Nazro Green. That it will always be your home. As Robert Frost says, ‘Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.’ And we all hope you will come back often.”

Head of School Sean Murphy

GRADUATION 2014

THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDThis award is given to a senior for outstanding academic achievement, passion for learning, and a pursuit of excellence.

AUSTIN BURNSAustin is described by many of his teachers as “one of the most gifted students” they have ever taught. His advisor of three years retorts, “[But] I am not sure that his brilliance is his most impressive quality…What

is the fact that his intellectual gifts are matched and exceeded by his humble spirit, the joy he takes in learning, and his kindness to others, both students and teachers.”

THE SCHOLARSHIP AWARDThis award is given to a senior for outstanding academic achievement, passion for learning, and a pursuit of excellence.

OLIVIA HINDERAAbout Olivia: “As someone drawn to both the complex questions of hard sciences and knowledge of the ancient world gained in her Latin classes, she perfectly fulfills the Renaissance ideal of the well-rounded scholar. Her teachers describe her as passionate, curious, hard-working, extraordinary, and enthusiastic.”

THE HILARY H. CARLSON AWARDThis award goes to that senior who most clearly exhibits dramatic personal growth throughout high school. By fulfilling individual potential and living out the ideals valued by the St. Andrew’s community, this senior best illustrates the meaning of Hilary Carlson’s favorite quotation, “To whom much has been given, much is expected.”

ZEEK PRICEZeek has overcome significant adversity to become one of the most successful students on this campus. He is a mentor to younger kids, a compass to his classmates, and a joy to the faculty. Much indeed has been given to this young man, and our expectations of him have no limits.

Graduation Priz e RecipientsGraduation Priz e RecipientsgrAduAtion 2014

ThE SCOTT FIElD BAIlEy SERVANT AwARDThis honor, named in memory of one of St. Andrew’s founders, the Right Reverend Scott Field Bailey, is reserved for that senior whose dedication, selflessness, and deep concern for others best exemplify the St. Andrew’s ideal that its students lead productive and responsible lives in their community.

SARAh RulON-MIllERthis year’s recipient is described by her teachers as “one of St. Andrew’s gems.” As one who “brings sunshine with her into any classroom or any place she goes, this student delights in working with children. when her Service learning class ended, this student continued to go across town to tutor her first grader…who also has cerebral palsy. this student constantly inspires me with her grit, determination, her care for others, and her joy.”

ThE CORNERSTONE AwARDThis honor goes to that senior who fully embraces the mission of St. Andrew’s “to provide an enriched academic program within a Christian environment emphasizing the fulfillment of each student’s potential.” Established to commemorate the Class of 2002, the Cornerstone Award recognizes courage, creativity, and love of school.

FRANkIE ChENA teacher describes Frankie as, “one of the nicest, smartest, kindest, and most creative people i’ve had the pleasure of knowing…he is one of those students who makes himself so indispensible and so wonderful to be around that we can’t really imagine his leaving us for college. he is a member of the chapel Advisory board, a peer tutor in the writing center, and an avid and gifted filmmaker.”

ThE luCy COllINS NAZRO AwARDThis award is reserved for that remarkable individual who contributes in original ways to improve the life of the students, faculty, and staff of St. Andrew’s. This honor goes to that senior whose enthusiasm, joy, and leadership best reflect the qualities of our former Head of School, Lucy Collins Nazro.

BRI hARDEMANA teacher exclaims, “Finally i get to teach her this year! i’m not sure she is aware how much she dictates the mood of the classroom. her enthusiasm…help[s] energize the class. they can focus when she decides the time is right to focus. in fact i would go so far as to say that this student dictates the mood of the whole school. She will leave a void.”

EMPOWERING SchOlARS, ARTISTS, AThlETES AND SERvANTS SINcE 1952____________


MARSHA RUSSELL TEACHER AWARDthis inaugural award recognizes outstanding work with students. it went, coincidentally, to the same teacher elected to serve as the faculty speaker at graduation. head of School Sean Murphy remarks, “Kids type like mad as Marsha tells the story of an artist or connects a detail in a painting to the broader canvas of history. Sixty-eight kids signed up for her Ap Art history class: that’s almost the size of our smaller school departments. And when Marsha is your advisor, you get 110% care all the time. Marsha is also a star in the college board world, running multiple sessions each summer during which she teaches teachers. She has also taught members of the history department how to bring art into their curricula. in short, Marsha is a treasure and a stunning asset to teaching at St. Andrew’s.”

ROB LEACOCKLUCY C. NAZRO AWARD WINNERhead of School Sean Murphy remarks, “rob has been a servant since he first set foot on this campus. rob’s service, however, catches

you unaware. he doesn’t wear service on his sleeve. but day in and day out, rob pulls you in. Sometimes it is with a corny song, played competently on the guitar but layered over with surprisingly rich vocals. Sometimes it is with a story that starts out folksy but slowly become both intellectual and biblical. rob’s chief service to the school during the past year has been as a compass to both the leadership and staff. he reminds us constantly, as we wring our hands over

adults), that we are on the right path of serving children and hence of serving god. in so doing, rob is one of the most important servants at this school.”

On May 23, 2014, a new tradition for Eighth Grade Commencement began. The Holy Communion and Eighth Grade Commencement ceremony was held in McGill Chapel on the 31st Street campus for the first time as 69 eighth-graders graduated from their Middle School. Congratulations to the Class of 2018!


eighth grAde coMMenceMent

MARY ALEX FRISHMANthis athlete was a member of the volley ball, cross-country, and track teams. one coach said, “her leadership ability, work ethic, team spirit and all around attitude has been a real pleasure to observe.” She played the setter position on the volleyball team and was a great decision maker in late game situations. with little preparation she was often one of the top finishers in the cross country meets. She participated in five events at the Aipl track meet. She is now the owner of the school’s and Aipl’s triple jump record. the sky is the limit for this young lady.

HANNA JUDYCKIhere’s what coaches had to say about this athlete: ”She came to work each and every day to improve her game.” “She was a leader on our basketball team, not so much with her words but with her effort and actions.” “She was always early to practice and usually stayed late.” She learned a new position on the softball team and ended up being pretty good at it. She received the coaches’ choice award for basketball and outstanding offensive player for softball. She has a promising future ahead of her.

COATY OSTENDORFthis athlete played tennis, basketball, and field hockey. All of her coaches said she had such a positive attitude and was supportive of her teammates. She was quick to pick up new concepts from her coaches and put them into play in her games. She was a member of a basketball team that went undefeated on the season and won the Aipl championship. She won 1st place in the advanced division at the Aipl tennis tournament. the future is very bright for this young lady.

JOHN SCHNEIDERthis athlete was on the football, basketball, lacrosse, and track teams. it’s not often that someone receives the most outstanding player for each sport, but this is the case for this athlete. he was willing to carry his team on his back in order to do whatever was necessary to win. he was coachable…

was vocal and was a good teammate. these traits are what most, if not all, coaches

Four athletes were awarded with the “2014 Athletes of the Year Award” from the Class of 2018, presented by Middle School Athletic Director Chris Williams.

AwardsTHE CRUSADER AWARD

Sanddhya with Head of Middle School Alice Nezzer and Head of School Sean Murphy.it is the tradition to give an award to the student who the faculty believe exemplifies the spirit of St. Andrew’s in

grooms, St. Andrew’s first Middle School math teacher.

KAy hArt coMMunity Service AwArdJULIA GRIM AND SANDDHYA JAYABALANin considering the recipient of the Kay hart community Service Award this year, it was amazing to see the amount of hours that these students have logged. but it isn’t the numbers that were most impressive, it was the big hearts and help that these students provided to the community. there was not one but two students who deserved the recognition for their big hearts and hard work this year. Service is obviously part of their lives and this will continue to be true for the very thoughtful Julia grim and Sanddhya Jayabalan. Sanddhya and Julia’s thoughtfulness has been astounding. in the 255 hours of service that Sanddhya performed during her time at the Middle School, the care and thought that she put into

every task that she did was inspiring. Julia’s giving was a steady force as she logged 204 service hours over the last two years. congratulations to these impressive young ladies!

MAhAtMA gAndhi “be the chAnge” AwArdKATIE COWANthis award is intended to recognize exceptional student leadership in community service. it is awarded to someone who actively strives to “be the change they wish to see in the world.” this year’s recipient saw a disease that affected her close friend’s family, and she took this cause to heart by creating her own multi-layered community service event from the ground up. She worked with a fantastic team of student volunteers, and a national non-profit organization to build a

website, set up a fundraising walk, and an advisory competition to raise awareness for Mitochondrial disease that raised almost $5000.

breAKthrough experience

In the spring of 2014, St. Andrew’s expanded its 10-year partnership with breakthrough Austin and hosted 60 low-income students at the Middle School for breakthrough’s academic Summer program. taught by exceptional college and high school students and coordinated by St. Andrew’s breakthrough Austin coordinator Steven garcia (’02) and program coordinator caroline pinkston (’04), breakthrough’s summer programming provided an opportunity for these students to maintain their studies and receive additional support as they look to become first-generation college students.

St. Andrew’s has been working with breakthrough Austin since 2003, recruiting students for the upper School and partnering with them for breakthrough Saturday mentoring workshops. when St. Andrew’s was approached to host the Middle School

“breakthrough is thrilled by our expanded partnership with St. Andrew’s episcopal School,” said breakthrough Austin executive director Michael griffith. “thanks to the warm welcome and thoughtful planning of many St. Andrew’s staff members, our students have experienced a life-changing summer of learning and fun on a beautiful campus. we couldn’t have asked for a better start on the path to college graduation for our students.”

breakthrough and St. Andrew’s summer partnership will continue to expand over three years, serving 60 students in 2014, 120 students in 2015, and 180 students in 2016. the breakthrough Summer program helps combat summer learning loss,

which is a leading contributor to the achievement gap in schools. the Summer program teachers are a diverse group of exceptional high school and college students who serve as Americorps members. with a one-to-six teacher-to-student ratio, breakthrough’s model helps younger students overcome their academic challenges and gain confidence, while the older students discover their potential as educators and leaders.

BREAKTHROUGH AUSTINbreakthrough Austin was founded in 2001 to provide support for low-income students who are statistically disadvantaged in their ability to attend college without significant intervention. breakthrough Austin was founded to help support these students in their quest for a college education, and every year breakthrough admits a new class of low-income students from campuses that feed into some of

nearly all breakthrough students will be first-generation college graduates. in addition to year-round case

management and personalized, long-term educational support, breakthrough Austin also provides academically

rigorous programming for three to four summers, further improving their education.

A GROWING PARTNERSHIPbreakthrough Austin originally provided St. Andrew’s Admissions officers with an opportunity to meet families who were committed to education and focused on a pathway to college, which fit perfectly with the St. Andrew’s vision for its students. to date, St. Andrew’s has enrolled over 10 students from breakthrough Austin.

ABOUT BREAKTHROUGHBreakthrough Austin is a college preparation program for low-income students. Breakthrough currently serves more than 900 students in grades 6 through college, all of whom will be the first in their families to graduate from college. The program is growing rapidly, with 220 new students joining the program annually. Breakthrough will serve approximately 2,000 students by 2020.

Nationally, Breakthrough Collaborative has served over 40,000 students and teachers in 27 cities. With more than 35 years of successful experience paving the path to four-year colleges for underserved students; increasing quality, quantity, and diversity of the teaching pipeline; and developing career educators as instructional leaders, Breakthrough’s efficacy has been confirmed by Stanford University and the American

Institutes of Research’s independent, quantitative, quasi-experimental, longitudinal study of student outcomes; pre- and post-summer session student assessments; and retrospective study of Breakthrough teachers. To learn more about Breakthrough, visit BreakthroughAustin.org.

The partnership and collaboration grew further when St. Andrew’s began hosting the Breakthrough Saturday program, where students participate in project-based academic activities and community service while learning valuable skills. Last year, 115 St. Andrew’s students volunteered to mentor Breakthrough students at the Saturday program at the Upper School.

“Breakthrough Saturdays provide an incredible opportunity for two-way learning,” said Program Director Carolina Pinkston. “Breakthrough students get a lot out of this program. They get to spend time forming relationships with college-bound students from St. Andrew’s, they get to experience the culture of a really high-achieving high school, and to practice reading, writing, and presentation skills. And the St. Andrew’s kids learn just as much or more from the experience. They learn about themselves as leaders and as teachers, they form close relationships with Breakthrough students, learn how talented and inspiring those students are, and broaden their perspective on the Austin community. And we all come to see ourselves as part of the same community through these

Saturdays, working towards the same goals—that’s probably the most important part.”

“Our partnership with Breakthrough Austin is a perfect opportunity to extend our mission, to share our resources, and to serve the greater community of Austin,” said Head of School Sean Murphy. “Breakthrough recruits eager, motivated, and committed young students, and it gives some of our older St. Andrew’s students the opportunity to teach them. We share a vision of learning, leadership, and community, and we are looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them.”

For more than a decade, St. Andrew’s and Breakthrough Austin have benefited from a strong relationship with committed students, teachers, and volunteers. The mission of both organizations is beautifully synchronized: to properly support and educate high-achieving students so they can thrive in college and beyond.

Junior experience

Junior Experiences:the SuMMer following either their sophomore or junior year, St. Andrew’s

students are required to spend at least two weeks away from their home on a

team-oriented trip. this “Junior experience” challenges students to adapt quickly

and engage thoughtfully with a new culture in order to hone their leadership skills

and broaden their world perspective. Students work on local improvement projects

to serve the community, and embark on excursions to cultivate deeper cultural

awareness. their understanding of what it means to be a citizen of the world

inevitably evolves over the course of the trip, and is captured in their daily journals.

whether they’ve ventured a few miles to a native American reservation, or many

miles to a chinese village, students return inspired and empowered to bring about

change in their lives. Foreign languages flowed and engineering feats abounded

on the Spring/Summer 2014 trips, which spanned the Americas, Asia, and europe.

in addition to the school-sponsored trips, students travelled to china, tanzania,

india, Kenya, hawaii, colorado, thailand, costa rica, peru, and east Africa.

ForMer director of diversity nathan Michaud, english teacher Jennifer tollefson, and director of college counseling elizabeth guice led students to india to do service work with the global volunteers organization. the group spent two weeks in chennai painting walls at the Southeast Asian Mission children’s home, working at the Assisi illam daycare center, and teaching children at christ King School. on the weekends, the group ventured out and explored various parts of the city

together. After visiting the local market, one student remarked that “[it] was a kind of epiphany that i was going to have to adjust to the culture instead of following my natural instincts.” After two weeks of hard work in a busy city, the group travelled to Mahabalipuram for a change

of pace. practicing yoga, meditating, and visiting temples provided the opportunity to experience another side of indian life and culture. reflecting on all their experiences in india, one student wrote: “i may not understand the world but this trip has helped me find my place in it. i’m overwhelmed with the amount of people on the planet, but i do not feel insignificant. the work we did taught me that i may be one in a sea of billions, and the change i make may be small, but the fact that i could make a change speaks louder.”

hiStory TeaCHers richard Kriese and courtney itson, and Spanish teachers Kelly edwards and emily Meador travelled with students on a trip to central nicaragua where students built schools and taught classes for local children, all while brushing up on their Spanish language skills and learning about local culture. Students spent a few days learning about the social and economic issues affecting life in rural central America before travelling to a work site in the rural village of rio lindo. one student said, “in rio lindo, all of the people were well fed, in great shape, happy, had homes, and clothes. i didn’t think of these people as poor despite their lack of money. it really did change my perspective on poor versus unhappy.”

Students taught art, music, and physical education, and improved their own Spanish skills through classes and

interactions with the community. they also created the foundation for a school water faucet. After a week of hard work, the group travelled to playa gigante where they took surfing

lessons and had the chance to experience another side of nicaragua. As they were leaving, one student said, “looking out the window of the plane, i realize how beautiful a place this is and makes me think this could be my last time ever seeing something so beautiful. or, that this is only the beginning of beauty in my life.”

NINE STUDENTS chaperoned by chinese teachers tan-wen ivy hou and Mei-fen chang embarked on a three-week journey to Beijing and Shanghai this summer. this trip was part of St. Andrew’s exchange program with one of the best high schools in china: Beijing high School number Four.

Students took intensive cultural and language classes, learning about tai-chi, Kung-fu, tea ceremony, traditional musical instruments, and Beijing opera. on a trip to a nearby village, students had the chance to taste raw wheat, pick cucumber, grind soy milk, and make dumplings. Several students also learned how to make rice dumplings with their host families during the dragon Boat Festival. one of the most popular activities was sliding down from the great wall on a toboggan. one of the key components of this trip is for students to stay with their host families to experience the chinese culture first hand. Some students were very curious about the tight security when they visited tiananmen Square. Jake Johnson’s journal entry explains, “After classes we went to the Forbidden city. By coincidence today is the 25th anniversary of the tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. As a result, there were a lot more people there than usual and the security was much [heavier]. there were military all over the place, and just to get in to the square they needed to check any foreigner’s passport.”

overall, this was an eye-opening experience for students. vipul telang was a teacher’s favorite because he took lots of notes. Megan lanctot jumped in to all the new experiences with no hesitation. Abby Schell saved the day with her snacks on the bullet train back from Shanghai to Beijing. landis hoover would like to come back next year and bring a better camera. Maria Alzaga enjoyed wearing traditional chinese costume. everyone was asked numerous times to take pictures with strangers. So, if you want to feel like a superstar, come with us to china next year!

deAn oF StudentS Jenny Kroncke and physics teacher richard wright accompanied students to Katmandu, where they visited monasteries, temples, and had their first exposure to nepali culture and food. their work site was a small village named Kaku, made up of a mostly indigenous nepali population. Students lived with nepali families, helped build a new school, and taught the village children. the construction work was difficult, but as one student wrote, “today we finished

piling the dirt for the foundation which felt really good. even though the work was hard it was good work and very rewarding.” the group also got a rare glimpse at the local traditions and customs

associated with a wedding and a funeral. After two weeks of hard work, the group trekked up the cultural trails, and hiked along Sir edmund hilary’s path. reflecting on the experience, one student said: “these people have enriched my life beyond compare and have given me more than i could ever have asked for. they will stay with me for the rest of my life with the memories we now both have and the experiences we shared. i love them like a family and i will never forget them. i am so thankful for all the people who made this trip happen. it has truly changed my life.”

STUDENTS led by Academic dean tim Mcghee, drama teacher Jason Kruger, and Assistant trip leader Jessica Scott ventured to rural new Mexico to work with the youthBuild organization. Students lived and worked in the tohatchi area, a community of predominantly navajo native Americans. Jessica Scott said one of the most interesting aspects of the experience was seeing how “the traditional way of doing things overlapped with modern methods.” during the first week, students spent their days renovating a house: replacing siding, building porches, constructing a handicap ramp, and painting. the second week was spent teaching summer classes at the elementary school.the group also received a great deal of navajo language training to better communicate in the classroom and community. each night the group attended a cultural presentation, with topics including the navajo coming-of-age tradition, healing practices, and current events within the tribe. Students were even taught to how to make fry bread, and were so inspired

by their lesson that they bought all the ingredients to make it themselves! the group also visited durango, co., to learn more about local tribal government, attend a rodeo, and hike in canyon de chelly. one student reflected that, “having the ability to travel to the reservation is such a great experience. it is only a state away yet so different. the people here are so caring and welcoming and everyone is like one big family.”

internAtionAl trAvel is not limited to the Junior experience for our students. this past summer 16 Middle School students and three faculty chaperones had the opportunity to participate in a two-week Spanish immersion experience in turrialba, costa rica. the students lived in pairs with costa rican host families and attended small, intensive Spanish grammar and conversation classes in the mornings each weekday. this immersion setting was a great opportunity for the students to put into practice in a real-life setting the skills

that they had been working so hard to develop all year in the classroom.

in the afternoons, students participated in a variety of cultural and ecotourism activities including cooking classes, dance classes,

river rafting, hiking, zip lining, rappelling down waterfalls, and tours of a coffee plantation, a dairy, and a national archeological historic site. Students also spent two afternoons doing volunteer work at a senior home. on the weekends the group traveled to other areas of costa rica, including the Arenal volcano and tortuguero national park. “the authentic setting in which to practice and hone their language skills combined with the opportunity to experience a culture and an environment very different from their own created a powerful experiential learning opportunity, as well as just being a whole lot of fun,” commented rebecca Jobe, Middle School Spanish teacher and one of the trip chaperones.

A viSion For St. Andrew’S

VWith great pleasure and purpose, the Board of Trustees of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School presented this Strategic Plan in Spring 2013. Building upon the history of growth and vision that has led St. Andrew’s to its current position of distinction, this plan focuses on several important priorities to amplify excellence, strength, and sustainability in the next five years.

during the planning process, the board sought input

administrators, trustees, consultants, parents, and students. these various voices informed the plan, which articulates a shared vision and will serve to guide St. Andrew’s toward a bright future. in the coming months and years, the Administration, Staff, and the board of trustees will refine the broad ideas into implementation plans, helping the School continue on its steady path toward greater strength and promise.

AA iSion For St. Andrew’SiSion For St. Andrew’S

GOAL ONE review, evaluate, and enhance programmatic initiatives

BACKGROUND For over 60 years, a St. Andrew’s education has begun in first grade. however, because educational models have evolved and other Austin schools emphasize a kindergarten curriculum, St. Andrew’s will consider the addition of a kindergarten to its

through surveys and conversations with faculty,



current grade 1–12 structure. the addition of a kindergarten would provide a unique opportunity to offer a full lower School program. it would make St. Andrew’s more attractive to prospective incoming families and keep St. Andrew’s competitive in a changing independent school market in the Austin area.

St. Andrew’s has always had a curriculum full of innovation and challenge. the leadership of the school will complement the rigor of our enhanced academic environment with programs to facilitate student success.

teachers have been embracing and implementing project-based learning at St. Andrew’s for years, and are enthused with the prospect of amplifying this aspect of our thoughtful curriculum.

St. Andrew’s also will consider the enhancement of our SteM (Science, technology, engineering, and Mathematics) curriculum. integrated study in these areas enhances student performance in all courses and encourages creative thinking and

the Sel (Social and emotional learning) program at St. Andrew’s is an integral part of how the school reflects its episcopal identity. the school should continue to develop the Sel program.

GOAL TWOenhance Faculty development and Support

BACKGROUNDSimply stated, the faculty and administration are the lifeblood of the school. St. Andrew’s has become a crown jewel in the network of episcopal schools primarily because of the extraordinary efforts of the teachers and staff. it is critically important that St. Andrew’s take all steps necessary to continue to recruit, attract, and retain the best teachers and staff.ViSion For St. Andrew’SiSion For St. Andrew’S

FPO

problem-solving.

the Strategic plan identifies two tangible ways to achieve this goal. First, St. Andrew’s must enhance its professional development budget, so that faculty members can continue to be creative, inspired, and grow professionally.

Second, St. Andrew’s remains committed to honoring its employees for their devoted service through competitive salaries and benefits.

GOAl ThREErefine our ongoing commitment to increasing diversity throughout the Student body, Faculty, Administration, and board of trustees

BACkGROuNDone of the foundations of St. Andrew’s episcopal identity is a commitment to diversity within the school community. St. Andrew’s diversity Statement of purpose reads:

Diversity at St. Andrew’s is grounded in our identity as a family-based community, a faith-based community, and a learning community. We understand that our strength and resilience as a three-fold community stem from our commitment to: honor each individual’s unique perspective; respect the dignity of every human being as a child of God; and develop the knowledge, skills, and understanding necessary to engage with and respond to the needs of an evolving world.

therefore, St. Andrew’s has historically placed a high priority on holding diversity as a core value of its educational and religious missions. As Austin and the surrounding community become larger and more diverse, it is incumbent upon St. Andrew’s to redouble its diversity efforts on all levels in order to thrive

in an evolving community and better reflect that community. St. Andrew’s must continue to devote additional resources to this goal on an ongoing basis, in recognition that the pursuit of diversity is not a destination but a continuing process.

GOAl FOuRreimagine our use of technology

BACkGROuNDeffectively optimizing the use of technology is a significant challenge facing current and future educators. our curriculum dedicated to technology needs to keep up with advances in technology and its pedagogical applications. this not only applies to courses about technology itself (such as computer science), but also the application of technology to all courses offered at St. Andrew’s, and how technology can improve instruction and learning outcomes.

in this digital age, St. Andrew’s will utilize technology to improve communications between its constituents. St. Andrew’s will improve the appearance, content, and applications of its website. the website should be made an even more effective educational management tool for current parents, students, faculty, and staff, allowing for ease of internal electronic communications between these groups inside the website structure. Additionally, prospective families rely on our website to discover the unique opportunities available to them at our school.

GOAl FIVEcapitalize on the opportunities Available to St. Andrew’s through our recent land Acquisition, and continue to Make innovative, effective use of our current Facilities

BACkGROuNDSt. Andrew’s is blessed with abundant land and capital resources. the recently purchased Miller tract adjacent to the upper School property, at 92 acres, is an extraordinary resource for St. Andrew’s. the school must properly plan for its effective utilization.

therefore, St. Andrew’s should embark on a master planning process for both campuses that prioritizes land use and future capital projects and expenditures.

one area of emphasis in the master plan will be sustainability. with the Miller tract, St. Andrew’s has the opportunity to place a high priority on caring for the environment in any new development. this priority should extend through the rest of the upper School campus as well as the 31st Street campus, including advanced sustainability measures and opportunities for students to participate in environmental studies.

St. Andrew’s also should enhance its stewardship of its current facilities, and consider additional personnel to adequately care for our physical plant.

the safety of our students is always a high priority. the school will examine the hiring of additional security personnel, and review and implement as appropriate the findings of periodic security reviews.

GOAl SIXensure long-term Financial Stability

BACkGROuNDin order to accomplish any of the goals set out in this strategic plan, the school must remain financially strong. St. Andrew’s has done excellent work maintaining financial stability. it has achieved a balanced budget annually, significantly increased its endowment, and successfully raised funds for capital projects such as the dell Fine Arts center and the Mcgill chapel. the purchase of the Miller tract was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain space adjacent to the upper School campus, and fundraising for this purchase continues as a priority.

St. Andrew’s will continue to strengthen its financial health by paying a greater percentage of its annual budget from hard revenues such as tuition and fees, and endeavoring to expend resources wisely.

St. Andrew’s endowment has increased significantly, but falls far short of peer school benchmarks. A larger endowment would guarantee the future stability of the school, and its revenue growth would also help to augment available funds to pay for additional enhancements. these items would include the improvement of academic programs and diversity initiatives, and the recruitment and retention of faculty and administrative talent. the school will aspire to increase the endowment even further.

in addition to contributing money for the endowment and for capital projects, the St. Andrew’s community has the significant responsibility of providing funds for the Annual Fund and the Financial Aid Fund. in the path of natural growth, St. Andrew’s will ensure sufficient resources for the development and business offices to achieve annual and long-term financial goals.

during the last week of July, 20 students from St. Andrew’s upper and Middle Schools participated in the 2014 national Junior classical league (nJcl) convention held at emory university in Atlanta, gA. Many of our students excelled in their individual academic, artistic, and athletic contests. St. Andrew’s big triumph came as a part of the Advanced certamen team from texas, which won second place in the national tournament.

the Advanced certamen team racked up the most cumulative points in the three preliminary rounds to earn the first-place seed for semifinals. After defeating the georgia and illinois teams in the semifinal round, the texas team went on to play the final round against virginia and defending national champion Massachusetts. throughout the 20-question round, the texas and Massachusetts teams alternately held the lead until the last few questions, when Massachusetts managed to pull ahead. the final standings were Massachusetts (125), texas (95), and

virginia (50). St. Andrew’s graduates olivia hindera (’14) and nate eakman

(’14) and rising senior bryce deskins made up the St. Andrew’s contingency of the texas team.

Some individual St. Andrew’s students were also recognized for achievement in special contests during a general assembly of the nJcl convention delegates. Mariah Sager won first place in the State digital Scrapbook contest for her excellent work as texas State Junior classical league (tSJcl) historian. wesley wiedenmeier won fourth place in the State website contest for his

redesign of the tSJcl website in his official capacity as webmaster.

Katherine Salinas, as Area F chair for the approaching school year, helped organize the texas state spirit effort for the general assembly, and the texas delegation won first place in Spirit for that day! william McKinnerney also served in his official capacity as tSJcl webmaster, helping to run texas state fellowship meetings in the evenings with the rest of the tSJcl executive board. Additionally, noelle brimble

was recognized as best in Show in the english oratory contest and was asked to perform her speech again during the creative Arts awards assembly on the final day of the convention.

when not in competition, students enjoyed a braves baseball game; a float down the chattahoochee river; visits to the carlos Museum of Art on the emory campus, the cnn Studio, the georgia Aquarium, the coca-cola Museum, and the georgia tech campus; and a day of thrills at Six Flags over georgia.

the 48 works published on the Academy website. Molly’s poem was written in response to “nothing in that drawer” by ron padgett. Sanddyha’s poem was written in response to “Fast break” by edward hirsch, as an elegy to St. Andrew’s former student Kethan Kumar.

the soufflé embraces the edges of the ramekin,catching the ceramic sides like a spider web

spun as each ingredient blends in heated harmony,fluffy flour mixed with melted butter,

wisely whisked yolks meeting whole milk,before the eager egg whites impeccably peaked

finally fold themselves into a mixturethat sends the milky surface soaring,

up, up puffing into a savory balloon,dodging dangers that lesser cooks may fear,

but not chefs like James beard or Julia child who know the only thing that makes

a soufflé fall is if it knows you’re afraidand gaze through the translucent glass door,

worried while the oven radiates its warmthlike sun burning the sandy skin off the beach

instead of admiring egg whites invisibly doing their job like the cheshire cat,

smiling as the edible eiffel towerrises, rises to each sweet new height

on its heavenly journey upward,until the tick-tock-tick-tock of the timer

has counted the minutes down, not a second latebefore the oven mitt must run to rescue

the masterpiece before a tragic fatebefalls this light and airy romance,

so gay like two butterflies doing the waltzin the summer breeze,

so fleeting like two friends doing the ballet,one balancing between life and death.

the other, drowned in tears,pleading with the Master of creation

to disprove the culinary command:you can’t make a soufflé rise twice.

when auditions began in the spring for this favorite fable, so

many talented students auditioned that the directors felt compelled to double-cast some roles. with five performances over three days, Beauty and the Beast broke the box office record with 1,855 tickets sold: double what sold at the fall production of Scarlet Pimpernel. the stunning sets included a moving windmill

and two-story houses with actors peeking out. intricate costumes made fantastic photo opportunities outside the dell theater, where the cast greeted the audience after the show. For the first time, St. Andrew’s directors decided to enter their production in the greater Austin high School Musical theater Awards contest. nate Stephenson (pictured center left) was nominated by judges for his role as gaston: he credited choral director Michael rosensteel for his guidance and inspiration.

the once-overlooked patch of ground between the fifth- and sixth-grade wings has now blossomed into a thriving vegetable and herb garden, complete with a minnow-filled pond. this year the fifth and sixth grades collaborated on a permaculture garden at St. Andrew’s lower School campus. the joint effort began as a part of Science teacher Mary Kay Sexton’s eco-Adventures lesson, and expanded to include the gardening class led by beyond-the-classroom teacher Aimee zivin.

As Ms. Sexton puts it, the “herculean effort” began in Spring 2013 when students tackled the tough job of clearing out the plot of land covered in wild jasmine and ivy. using shovels, pick axes, and cardboard, they laid the foundation for the garden over the spring, and mulched well into

the summer. with the help of local landscaper texaScapes, inc.—which donated mulch, limestone, and labor time to the school—students crafted the garden and installed a pond, complete with a solar filter and minnows from nearby Shoal creek.

the crafting of the garden itself relied on students understanding “permaculture,” a system of regenerative and self-maintained habitat. they built a drainage system that catches rain water and filters below the ground, providing proper soil cultivation and drainage. As a teaching tool for Ms. zivin’s gardening class, the project was an opportunity to invite Austin-area gardeners to give the students insights into sustainable food and urban gardening. they planted vegetables, learned about sustainable farming, and the meaning

of the term “organic food.” the sixth-graders in particular were able to connect this project with their year-long service learning study of food. Ms. Sexton is proud that they used free resources from the creek when they could, and looks forward to teaching her Science classes in the garden to show soil and water chemistry.

More importantly, Ms. Sexton wants to encourage the entire school to use the garden as a resource for whatever teaching aspirations they have. She has an idea that she hopes will grow into a reality: “there is an area that is shaded by tree branches that i think would be a lovely spot for reflection, where students can read and write and think.” with such a beautiful resource available to our students, it promises to be a popular spot.

As with all new ninth-graders at the upper School, brady takes all of his classes seriously. yet brady could not resist the opportunity to part from his books and jump on a bike to raise money for a worthy cause. this spring, he was honored by the Multiple Sclerosis Society for his fundraising efforts during his 150-mile ride from houston to Austin. At the finish line, he had earned more than $12,000 for the cause, and had placed in the top group of riders. An excerpt from the thank you note brady wrote to his sponsors gives you a little insight to his experience: “we were all standing at the starting line, shivering in the 40-degree air, and waiting for the ride to begin. then a man in a motorized wheelchair rolled up to us. he shook our hands and told us, ‘thank you so much for riding.’ As he rolled away, it hit me. he had MS. that gave me a small, but vital boost to start the race.” he continued, “thank you again for your support this spring, and to everybody who asked me to think of someone dear to them who has MS. i thought of them.”

Board of trustees Strategic plan.




Celebrating St. Andrew“while i am uncertain about being here at the microphone, i feel quite authoritative about pointing to the

said heather in her remarks to the audience. “i’ve watched the excellence of the board of trustees as the school made key decisions…i watched the excellence of the community of families gathered here, a community on which i will rely for the rest of my life…i watched the excellence of the students who have come here, kids who are excellent at math, excellent at swimming, excellent at public service, excellent at latin or chinese grammar, excellent at singing, excellent at unicycling, excellent at getting into and out of trouble all in under 12 seconds or much, much longer, excellent at navigating foreign cities or getting lost in them, excellent at acting, at climbing ropes, at folding their ears behind that little doohickey of flesh right by the cheekbone, excellent at turning an elegant phrase or stuffing a basketball. the multitudinous variety of

me confidence in the future.”

“And last but oh not least, the teachers,” continued heather. “i watched them watch their students. i watched them cajole, or be firm, watched them laugh helplessly, watched them study what they taught and wonder how to do it better, watched as they suddenly switched languages for no apparent reason, watched as they allowed students to tie them up (actually only heard about that), watched them reassure timid first graders and hysterical seniors, watch them glow with pride and sometimes with frustration. i watched them process into gatherings like this one many times and never, never failed to be amazed

at the excellence of the teachers. Much of what i know about excellence comes from being in this place. i’m thrilled and humbled and not a little astonished to receive this award. thank you.”

in addition, three faculty members were honored for 15 years of service to St. Andrew’s: Athletic director laura longoria, sixth-grade Science teacher Mary Kay Sexton, and grades 1–4 Art teacher hollyana Melear (’85). And in a surprise announcement, two retiring faculty members—head of lower School Sharon wilson and lower School counselor Marylynn woodall—were honored for their decades of service and presented with the recently published St. Andrew’s 60th Anniversary books. both received a much-deserved standing ovation by the audience.

Following the service, students, faculty, staff, parents, and guests joined together outdoors for a catered lunch by the grove and teo gelato. the first- and 12th-graders paired up and went bowling together and the remaining grades spent the afternoon benefiting from a variety of service-learning projects. upper and Middle School students on both campuses sorted, counted, and packed thousands of food items for el buen Samaritano episcopal Mission in support of their hands for hope initiative, an effort St. Andrew’s has been supporting since 2005.

St. Andrew’s day was indeed a day of many blessings; celebrating community, our school, special members of our school family and faculty, and the gift of giving to others. Many thanks to our parent volunteers and faculty and staff who helped create this special day for everyone.

catherine osborn is currently based in rio de Janeiro as a print and radio journalist, most recently working with national public radio on their coverage of the world cup. She also files for public radio international’s the world. She originally moved to rio in 2012 on a research fellowship to study public participation in urban policy, and is excited to continue following this topic and many others in a rapidly changing city. in July she reported for npr about a police program for low-income rio neighborhoods which was

the topic of her senior thesis at yale. currently, catherine is working on coverage of state and federal elections in brazil. She says, “i do lots

of interviews about trust in government and ways that people and groups have organized to connect themselves to services they need when corruption and bureaucracy prevent the country

on paper. i’m also lucky to be able to report on the role of art and culture in the everyday lives of brazilians.”

catherine is grateful for her St. Andrew’s teachers’ encouragement to be both curious and compassionate in her work. catherine remarks,“So many teachers

and ideas at St. Andrew’s influenced the way i work. i appreciate St. Andrew’s emphasis on engagement in your community, no matter what your field. i appreciate being taught to question assumptions and to write clearly. And it was many teachers’ passion for their subjects that got me to take joy in those topics and see how much they appear in our everyday lives, especially history and art history. i’m grateful for the requirement to spend time in a dramatically different environment, as well as the school’s work with el buen Samaritano, which both got me interested in Mexican politics and eventually led me to major in latin American Studies. i really do feel like St. Andrew’s is the family that raised me and i am thankful it taught us not only to think critically but also to do something purposeful with our minds and hearts.

A SENIOR at northwestern university, conor collaborated with St. Andrew’s Fine Arts director rick garcia this summer to develop a new musical, The Polar Express, set to debut in late fall.

“The Polar Express was an idea of mine after i worked as a sound board op on a show called The Nutcracker at the house theatre in chicago,” said conor. “the idea of that piece was to take the basic plot of tchaikovsky’s ballet the nutcracker and re-contextualize it into a modern setting and a fresh take on the plot. i immediately thought of the chris van Allsburg book The Polar Express because of how much the book makes children wonder and adults yearn for that childhood amazement.”

“i contacted rick with the idea because we had always talked about writing a musical together. i pitched him the idea over the phone, which led to an hour-long conversation ending with both of us laughing and crying at the same time. we thought about the story in our separate locations for about 6 months

until i got back to Austin in August.”“conor is very talented,” said rick. “our first musical project was his senior year when he composed music and i wrote lyrics for our SAS production of Almost, Maine. our theatre alumni have always stayed in touch, so it doesn’t seem odd at all to be working with conor; it’s a natural continuation of our relationship with our artists. it’s great to see him active and producing art!”

conor and rick spent three weeks bringing their ideas together and laying out the story into a draft form. rick crafted the book as conor worked on the score. “the best part about the partnership was the common vocabulary we had from my years as his student,” said conor. “we both felt free to comment on and shape the other’s work until the project truly became a product of our collaboration. we would meet in between rick’s classes or after musical rehearsals and talk through every lyric, line and measure until we had written a story that had us laughing and crying all over again.”

conor and rick’s interpretation of the classic story was to contextualize it with the mother of the family being sick at christmas. the protagonist, the boy, is too young to understand the severity of this and is reveling in all of his christmas plans. then his sister, who is old enough to understand their mother is in trouble, comes in and tries to shut him up by exclaiming that Santa claus isn’t real. with a newfound

resolve, the boy wishes to find proof that Mr. claus and the north pole really do exist and is then visited by a magic train that whisks him off to get his wish.

The Polar Express is getting a staged reading at northwestern university this november with director Joe entenman and a cast of theatre students. the purple crayon players, northwestern’s theatre-For-young-Audiences production board, gave them the resources to put it together and come to life for the first time. they will have an industry showing for faculty, peers and professional theatre producers to get feedback and interest in the project so they can take it further. two shows will be performed for children in the community to get their feedback as well.

“working with rick is always a pleasure,” said conor. “he and i have continued our friendship long after my graduation and we are already ruminating on ideas for the next musical we will write together.”

congratulations to conor and rick. we look forward to many more collaborations!

letter from Sean Murphy, head of School

Dear St. Andrew’s Community,

Thank you so much for your generous donations. Last year you gave at record levels, and you worked tirelessly on dozens of committees and as volunteers all over both campuses. Your gifts made a great difference in the lives of all our students.

We increased significantly our Financial Aid program, which adds rich diversity to our student population. Thanks to all who helped make the Concert for Financial Aid so successful. We also dramatically improved our support of professional development for teachers and staff. This summer many of our teachers attended conferences around the country to prepare new material and learn best practices from independent school experts.

Thanks to your continued support of St. Andrew’s Annual Fund, you also made it possible to fund several important projects such as the state-of-the-art audio visual equipment in the McGill Chapel, an irrigation well on the 31st street campus to keep the athletic field in top condition, an air-conditioning unit in the press box at the SWP stadium, and a new Middle School drama room remodeled out of the old chapel.

St. Andrew’s gets better every year because of you and your families.

Thank you!

letter from Margie gaudin, chair, board of trustees

Dear St. Andrew’s Community,

The 2013–14 fiscal year, which ended June 30th, 2014, was one of continued strength and vitality for St. Andrew’s Episcopal School.

Robust enrollment and generous gifts from our families and friends ensured the resources for the School to “provide an enriched academic program within a Christian environment emphasizing the fulfillment of each student’s potential.” The donor names listed in the pages of this Annual Report show a profound philanthropic commitment to our School. Thank you to the Development Committee and many volunteers who helped in the School’s fundraising efforts.

Careful budget management ensured that tuition dollars were well utilized to amplify the learning experiences of students on our campuses. Endowment returns allowed the school to augment the financial aid budget and to pay for facility maintenance. In addition to Sean Murphy and his administrative team, thanks go to our Treasurer, Anne Smalling, along with the Finance and Investment Committees who help safeguard a sustainable budget and secure a growing endowment.

Warmly,

Margie Gaudin Chair, Board of Trustees

the acquisition of an additional 93 acres of property at St. Andrew’s upper School has provided unparalleled security for our school. with opportunities for improvements to our campus entrance to long-term security and future development, this new property is an incredible asset for St. Andrew’s. in 2013, the school constructed a new entrance, enhancing the safety for all our drivers.

the long-term value of the land and the growth opportunities it provides to the future of the school are immeasurable and we are grateful to our families for their support of this new endeavor.

the bailey Society was established in 2002 to recognize the generosity and foresight of those who join the school’s founders in securing the future of St. Andrew’s. the hallmark of this special group is the commitment of each of these supporters to a strong, financially sound independent school that will prepare our students as scholars, athletes, servants and artists for generations to come. Members of the bailey Society have established a deferred gift that will benefit St. Andrew’s and its students and faculty in the future.

The Bailey Society is named in honor of Bishop Field Scott Bailey (1916–2005), a founder of St. Andrew’s and a pillar of the Episcopal Church community.

Membership in the Bailey Society is extended to an individual who:1. includes St. Andrew’s Episcopal School as beneficiary of his or her will;2. names St. Andrew’s as the beneficiary of a life income gift such as a charitable gift annuity,

a charitable remainder trust or a charitable lead trust;3. names St. Andrew’s as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan.
