FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear families, alumni, grandparents, and friends:
When reflecting on the last few years, it is impossible to ignore how advances in technology have challenged
Rowland Hall to change the way it educates its students. In fact, the ongoing technological revolution compels us
to continually evaluate our pedagogy, and to adapt quickly, but thoughtfully, to better equip students for careers we
could not imagine just five years ago.
In recent years, top educators from around the country have encouraged schools to focus on a new set of
competencies for students. Pat Bassett, former president of the National Association of Independent Schools, has
referred to these as the six C’s: creativity, character, critical thinking, communication, cross cultural competency,
and collaboration. As we examine our use of technology, it is important to remember that although technology is
not the only educational tool available to us, it is a powerful tool when used intentionally to meet well thought out
educational goals. The Board of Trustees has made it possible for the school to take two important steps to achieve
these goals during the coming years. One, the Board authorized the creation of a new full-time position, Director of
Curriculum and Instruction, for which we are conducting a nationwide search. Two, we have recently hired Middle
School mathematics teacher, Christian Waters, to fill the new position of Director of Technology Integration. These
individuals will play vital roles in disseminating current research on how children learn, and, most importantly, in
training and supporting our faculty as they adapt to new educational methods and best practices.
As we look to strengthen our program in all areas while maintaining the best of traditional education, we will
continually question how new technologies, applications, and software can best help us realize an ever-changing
set of targets. The collision of digital learning and traditional education is a major topic for the current strategic
planning steering committee of the Board of Trustees. I have to say that it is an exciting time to be an educator
exploring these issues. We welcome your suggestions and insights as we navigate the technological world and help
our students acquire the competencies and confidence necessary to achieve success.
I hope you will enjoy reading about how much Rowland Hall has accomplished during the recent school year,
and particularly call your attention to the stories of a handful of our successful graduates. Those who generously
agreed to be featured are among the many we are proud to call our alumni.
Sincerely,
Alan Sparrow
Head of School

2 012 - 2013
FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Since early June, mountains of dirt just west of the McCarthey gymnasium have been moved daily.
Before the earth movers and cement pourers could get to work on our new athletic fields, scores of
Rowland Hall loyalists like you removed obstacles from our path to help us reach this point in the
school’s history: you gave money to pay for the construction; you gave suggestions about designs;
you helped us plan future steps; and you nurtured the vision that all our students could, one day,
learn, play, and grow together on one campus.
This is an era of change at Rowland Hall. Our facilities are improving. Beginning School
students are using iPads. This year, the daily class schedule will change for the middle and upper
school students.
These changes are taking place in an environment where there is one great constant – Rowland
Hall’s teachers. They endeavor to integrate digital connectivity in the classroom, they adjust
schedules and courses and incorporate best practices, and they excite our children about their
possibilities and passions. Our faculty wholeheartedly engage with our children, and our efforts are
directed toward reinforcing the relationship between teacher and student.
I hope you will join me in taking pride in the collective energy our community continues to
generate, enabling us to break ground for new playing fields this summer and eventually new
classrooms, gymnasiums, and art spaces that are fit for great teaching and learning.
Sincerely,
Bob Steiner
Board of Trustees Chair

2012 - 2013 FINANCE REPORT
The finance committee of the Board of Trustees is pleased to report that the school
enters the 2013-2014 year on sound financial footing.
For the recently completed year, our actual revenues and expenses were in line with
forecasts; of particular note was the strong finish for the Annual Fund. With a few
months to go the Annual Fund was below its target goal, but thanks to the generosity of
community donors we reached the Annual Fund goal. The importance of the Annual
Fund cannot be overstated. Without it, the school would be challenged to provide the
breadth and depth of programs we all value.
Each year we benchmark the school against similar schools across the country, and
from a financial perspective, our rankings remain impressive. Tuition costs are at the low
end of the group of peer schools and the percentage of revenues directed toward faculty
salaries is at the high end. Even with our comparatively low tuition, our faculty salaries
remain above the peer school average. The most valuable aspect of the school is the
quality of our faculty, and we are pleased to see that our budget reflects this belief.
Thanks to many generous donors, Rowland Hall enters the new school year in a
strong financial position. The endowment fund has grown through Capital Campaign
donations, financial controls are sound, and we have sufficient reserves to weather
disruptions. Through the Board of Trustees’ strategic planning process, we will continue
to explore ways to ensure Rowland Hall’s business model is financially sustainable well
into the future.

SALUTE TO DEPARTING TRUSTEES
At this time each year we express our gratitude and fondly say goodbye to the
trustees who have completed six years on the Board. We thank them for their service,
support, and valuable advice.
Ben Logue served six years and was active on the finance committee and
the new campus project. His knowledge of construction and development
was valuable in helping make major decisions on building the athletic fields.
He also provided good counsel on the implementation of the solar panels
at the McCarthey Campus and on many other components of the school’s
sustainability program.
Rhonda Nicoloff completed two terms on the Board and worked on the
finance committee and the Capital Campaign for the new campus. She was an
effective liaison with families and a reliable source of information and guidance
for school administration. Her participation will be missed.
Priya Junnar Chodosh served the Board and school in many capacities during
her five years of volunteerism. She explored efficient ways to improve the
school’s food services as chair of the cafeteria/food committee. She brought
insight to the diversity committee and sound advice to the education and
nominating committees. Her influence was strong and she was known for
never saying “no.”
Margaret McGann was instrumental during the legal process of acquiring the
Mt. Olivet property, both as a neighbor and parent. She joined the Board six
years ago and served on the finance and education committees. She brought
her legal expertise to Board discussions and for the last two years served as the
Board legal advisor.
Thank you to all of our outgoing trustees for their hard work and dedication to the
school. All of our students and faculty benefited from your strong efforts.

MEET INCOMING BOARD CHAIR RICHARD BADENHAUSEN
We are pleased to welcome Richard Badenhausen as the new Chair of the
Board of Trustees.
Richard is a professor and the Kim T. Adamson Chair at Westminster
College, where he has spent the past decade directing its Honors program. He
has also taught at Marshall University and the University of Michigan, where
he received his Ph.D. in 1989. He concentrates his research and writing on T.
S. Eliot and other modernist authors. Richard served on the board of directors
of the National Collegiate Honors Council, an organization that represents
over 700 collegiate honors programs around the country, and on the board
of River Valley Child Development Services, the largest early childhood
education provider in West Virginia.
He first joined Rowland Hall’s Board in 2006 and has served on various
committees, including education (for five years as its chair), finance,
nominating (for one year as its chair), strategic planning (twice), the World
Languages subcommittee, and numerous search committees.
Richard is married to Katherine Venti, an attorney and shareholder at
Parsons Behle & Latimer. They have two children who both entered Rowland
Hall in 2001: Will, a 2012 graduate who attends Gonzaga University, and
Liza, who started her junior year this fall.

WELCOME NEW TRUSTEES
Luz Robles holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Marketing and a Master of Public Administration
from the University of Utah. In 2008, Luz was elected to the Utah State Senate to represent District 1,
which encompasses the west side of Salt Lake City and parts of West Valley City. In 2012, she was
elected to a second term and serves as the Senate minority caucus manager. She also serves on the Health
and Human Services Appropriations and the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committees, and
has focused her legislative work on public safety, veteran’s affairs, and health-related issues. In 2005,
Governor Jon Huntsman appointed Luz to be the first director of the State Office of Ethnic Affairs to
oversee the Offices of Asian, Black, Hispanic/Latino and Pacific Islander Affairs. She currently works as
vice president for Zion’s Bank.
Luz is committed to equality and justice for all people and has been a member of the Diversity
Committee at Rowland Hall since it was created. She has served on the boards of many non-profit
organizations, both city and statewide. Luz is currently on the boards of Guadalupe School, Kingsbury
Hall, Primary Children’s Medical Center, and the College of Social and Behavioral Science Advisory
Board for the University of Utah.
The Robles have been part of the Rowland Hall community since 2007. Her daughter, Aileen, looks
forward to beginning third grade in the fall.
Anna Topham spent her childhood years in the suburbs of Chicago, Boston, and New York City.
She received her dual Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Economics from Bowdoin College and
earned a Master of Business Administration from the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at
Dartmouth College. Between degrees, Anna worked as a financial analyst in Merrill Lynch’s Investment
Banking Group in New York City, where she met her husband, Reed. After graduating from business
school, Anna joined American Stores Company, working in various marketing and project management
capacities. She brought her organizational and leadership skills to Toysrus.com, where as director of
product management she led a complete overhaul of the company’s fledgling website. She has advised
several start-up companies and currently serves as manager of a private investment fund.
After the births of three children in as many years, Anna stepped back from corporate work, and has
focused her energy on her children and home life. She has coached her boys’ sports teams, organized a
family reunion, and managed her children’s performance violin group.
The Tophams have been part of the Rowland Hall community for seven years. During this time,
Anna has volunteered on picture day, collected used books for donation, and helped out in the
classroom. Anna has served as a room parent and Annual Fund liaison, and has participated on the
Sustainability Committee, Food Services Committee, and the Auction Solicitations Committee. Reed, a
Utah native, is an attorney with Stoel Rives. Their three children are Rowland Hall students: Austin and
Cole are in seventh grade, and Natalie is in third grade.

Carol Clawson was born and raised in Salt Lake City, where she attended Rowland
Hall Middle School. Carol received a Bachelor of Arts in History and a Master of Arts
in Education from Stanford University. She later received her J.D. from the University
of Utah. She has practiced law in Salt Lake City for 20-plus years, and currently is “Of
Counsel” to Kruse Landa Maycock and Ricks, where she focuses on alternative dispute
resolution.
Carol likes to spend the rest of her time training her dogs for sheepdog and agility
competitions. She has served on a number of community organizations, including the
Board of Trustees for Utah Legal Services, “and Justice for All,” and the Community Legal
Center. Carol is married to Stephen Hull, also a long-time Salt Lake City attorney. They
have recently moved to Charleston, Utah (near Heber City), where they share their home
and pasture with five border collies and several sheep.
Their son, Robbie, was a “lifer,” having started in 2PreK and graduated in 2009. He
recently graduated from Pomona College and is headed to Duke Law School this fall.
While Robbie was at Rowland Hall, Carol served as a room representative and soccer parent
representative. She continues to serve as school photographer for several of the school’s
sports teams and has provided continual legal assistance to the school.
Oscar Wood Moyle IV, ’90, was born and raised in Salt Lake City and is a new
member of the Alumni Committee of the Board. He received a Bachelor of Science in
History from Lewis and Clark College and a Master of Business Administration from
Westminster College in 2006.
Wood is director of the Board of Trustees for the R. Harold Burton Foundation and
the Edward L. Burton Foundation. His heartfelt commitment to the Salt Lake City
community is reflected in the charitable boards on which he simultaneously serves,
including the Utah Museum of Natural History, Westminster College’s Board of Trustees,
and the Western Folk Life Center in Elko, Nevada. His wife, Marianne, is also an active
civic volunteer, focusing much of her efforts as a board member of the Utah Zoological
Society (Hogle Zoo). Marianne also volunteers on Rowland Hall’s Home and School
Board and has been a room representative for both 3PreK and 4PreK. Wood and
Marianne will also be Annual Fund liasons this year.
Wood is an avid reader of military history and science fiction, and spends “way too
much time” engrossed in college football.
Wood, Marianne, and their son, Ocky, reside in the Avenues neighborhood and are
excited for Ocky to begin kindergarten this fall.

WE BID FOND FAREWELL
TO THE FOLLOWING
TEACHERS AND
ADMINISTRATORS AND
WISH THEM WELL IN
THEIR NEW ENDEAVORS.
Johanna Edwards taught advanced levels of math in the Upper School
for more than 10 years and leaves Rowland Hall to return home to
England to be closer to her family.
Peter Hayes reluctantly retired last spring due to illness. He taught
biology and study skills to Rowland Hall freshmen for over 17 years.
Lynne Peterson, long-time Lower School teacher, is returning to her
home state of Montana to be a school administrator at the district level.
Lower School teacher Carolyn Schabel is relocating to Bend, Oregon.
We wish the best to Mary McIntyre, who guided the school in instituting
its successful and award-winning sustainability program for the past
five years as our Director of Sustainability. She also revamped our food
services program to include more healthy food choices and composting.
Finally, Margaret Rose, Lower School assistant principal, and her spouse,
Laurie, have moved to Saipan to pursue once-in-a-lifetime personal and
professional adventures.
We will miss them all and wish each the best of luck and happiness.

NICOLE PERSHING
“As an M.D./Ph.D. student at Duke University, the road I have taken
has been long, and some might say crazy, but I feel lucky to be here. The
support of family, friends, and teachers that started with my Rowland
Hall education makes me excited to start each day with the hope of
discovering something new or helping a patient through a difficult time.
From my earliest years in Lower School, I remember learning about the
magic of the world around me through both experiential and classroom
learning. In high school, Mr. Hayes’ biology class sparked what would
become my academic passion. The intensity of his interest in the subject
was contagious. From the time we spent learning about the adaptive
attributes of the flora and fauna of the Utah desert in southern Utah to
pneumonic songs to remember the Krebs cycle, his teaching encouraged
my curiosity in the biological world to blossom.
As strong as my science classes were, equally important were lessons
I learned in more subtle ways. While learning French in Mr. Wortham’s
class, I also garnered a respect for humanity and the integrity of the
individual that informed my decision to go to medical school. The
belief that I could tackle challenges helped me pursue my interests, even
when obstacles made the road to accomplishing my goals unclear. The
sense of community with my teachers, coaches, and teammates, and the
friendships I carried throughout my tenure at Rowland Hall allowed me
the confidence to explore and find what best suited me.”

“I was not the easiest child to raise. I had a lot of energy and
liked to do things on my own terms. My parents still joke
that at age three I told my mom, ‘I am the boss of my own
person!’ That strong will and independence, although difficult
to appreciate when I was young, drove my entrepreneurial spirit
and fueled my passion to create and build my own business.
I came to Rowland Hall my sophomore year. Coming from
the public school system, it was a welcome change. For the first
time in my educational experience, I was encouraged to think
outside the box and was given numerous tools to explore my
creative thinking. One of the unique attributes of Rowland Hall
is that it not only provides, but also encourages, students to
pursue a variety of interests to help shape them for the future.
Whether it is debate, fine arts, science, or athletics, Rowland
Hall provides a safe environment for kids to explore and learn.
The small class sizes, relationships with teachers, and supportive
culture give students the confidence to take risks and develop
life skills. My experience at Rowland Hall allowed me to
embrace my independent spirit and become an entrepreneur.
Rowland Hall exemplifies the true meaning of a well-rounded
education.”

“Rowland Hall taught me the importance of seeking out
mentorship throughout my academic career. The small class sizes
of Rowland Hall always appealed to me, and they were one of
the main reasons I wanted to attend the school. In the classroom,
there was ample opportunity to interact not only with my fellow
classmates but also with teachers and faculty. I built fantastic
relationships with many of my teachers over the years; some have
even been over to my family’s home for Thanksgiving dinner.
Whenever I am in Salt Lake, I make it a point to try to visit
the school, even though it has been several years since I walked
its hallways as a student.
These foundational experiences set the stage for the rest of
my academic career. The familiarity I had with my teachers at
Rowland Hall, instilled in me the confidence to approach college
professors with questions or when seeking advice. The Rowland
Hall student-teacher relationship gave me the self-assurance that
will benefit me throughout my life and my career.”

“Rowland Hall laid the foundation for who I am and taught me many things
that I have carried into my adult life – most notably confidence, a strong work
ethic, and persistence. I was lucky enough to be a Rowmark Ski Academy
student beginning in eighth grade and went on to ski for an NCAA Division 1
program at St. Lawrence University in New York for which I was named MVP
my freshman year. I learned how to be responsible, self sufficient, and confident.
I experienced the ups and downs of competition and all that comes with success
and failure. Just because I work hard doesn’t always mean I am going to make
it. But I can never give up, and that’s what I learned from my experience at
Rowland Hall.
After college I spent roughly 10 years in an advertising career in San
Francisco before taking the plunge to open my own business. Owning a
business had always been a dream of mine, and fashion is my passion, so on
September 8, 2007, I married the two concepts and opened Apt. 202 Boutique,
named after my apartment number in San Francisco, in the 9th and 9th area of
Salt Lake City.
I spent a year conducting market research and preparing myself for the
opening with the hopes that it would be well received. Here I am six years later,
with a beautiful new location that also houses my husband’s business, Salon MC
(a hair salon). We bought and remodeled the building and together we enjoy a
wonderful clientele and two businesses that we are proud to own and operate.
My store is truly a unique shop. I love fashion and I love styling, but I also
understand that many women appreciate a little help getting dressed, and that’s
where I come in. Whether you are a repeat customer or a first-time shopper,
I take time to help customers choose the right outfit for the occasion—be it a
cocktail party, wedding party or just some great day-to-day pieces. I take the
stress and labor out of shopping and make it a fun and easy experience.”

“Growing up I always knew I wanted to do something in the arts, and I hoped I might
have some positive impact, but I had no idea what that might look like, or how to
get there. Luckily, Rowland Hall gave me the freedom to explore my imagination, the
confidence to pursue my own path, and an appreciation for the community around me.
Rowland Hall offered an abundance of creative opportunities, and I dove right in.
I played saxophone in the band, I acted in plays and musicals, and I took as many
ceramics, drawing, and painting classes as I could. I was also drawn to storytelling,
whether it was memorizing Shakespeare with Tony Larimer or analyzing Toni Morrison
with Leslie Helm Stone. These experiences provided a window into the world and gave
me the confidence to develop and believe in my own perspective.
I am enormously grateful to teachers who went beyond their specific subjects and
taught us about humanity. In French class Doug Wortham taught us French, no doubt,
but he did so using Renaissance paintings, Edith Piaf, and existentialist philosophy.
George Henry taught all the history relevant to the AP exam but gave equal weight to
the history of the oppressed, whose stories are under represented. Being a young gay
kid growing up in Utah, I felt particularly drawn to the stories of those who struggled
on the margins of society, and I was inspired to learn more about the civil rights
movement, the labor movement, and the movement for LGBT equality.
My work today as a filmmaker and activist has been directly influenced by my years
at Rowland Hall. A documentary I produced, “The Out List,” which explores LGBT
identity in the United States premiered on HBO in June. My next project, a feature
length adaptation of the novel In the City of Shy Hunters, tells the stories of individuals
living in the NYC downtown arts scene in the 1980s, who were decimated by the AIDS
epidemic. I continue to seek challenging and engaging stories to tell that will hopefully
bring some enlightenment. I have Rowland Hall to thank for teaching me that there is a
compelling story to be found in just about every subject.”

GROUNDBREAKINGCELEBRATION
A
fter decades of dreaming, details, and determination,
Rowland Hall officially broke ground on the first phase of the future Richard R. Steiner Campus on May 29, 2013.
Alumni, parents, faculty, and staff celebrated the occasion with
balloons, speeches, laughter, music, and shovels. The afternoon
culminated in cheers as parent Rin Harris climbed aboard a brand
new D-7 bulldozer to ceremoniously begin construction. Rin, as the
highest bidder for this experience at Rowland Hall’s auction last fall,
relished the honor of driving the big machinery.
This first phase of the Steiner Campus consists of: leveling,
grading, and setting the infrastructure for the entire campus
project; building two synthetic-turf playing fields; establishing the
entranceway and parking; and the construction of a storage building
that will also house restroom facilities. Additionally, the phase calls
for establishing a community garden and creating a large, grass
playing field to be used until construction on the final phase begins.
“This first phase of the Steiner Campus is evidence of the
marvelous results that emerge from members of a community
coming together with a sense of common purpose,” incoming Board
of Trustees Chair Richard Badenhausen said. “Thanks to all of you
who had a hand in bringing about this amazing moment.”
The first phase is slated for completion in November 2013.

FOND FAREWELL TO DIRECTOR
OF DEVELOPMENT LIBBY ELLIS
Libby Ellis, who for the past seven
years has served as Rowland Hall’s
Director of Development, has
resigned to explore the next phase
of her career in the fundraising
world. About her departure, Libby said,
“With the funds raised for the first phase of
the Capital Campaign and a fantastic team
in place, I believe it’s the perfect time to seek
new opportunities.”
Associate Head of School Julie Barrett had
this to say, “Libby has been an incredible
asset to the school and responsible for the
success of the new building project start on
Phase 1 of the Capital Campaign. Her team
and the Campaign Steering Committee and
many generous donors help us successfully
meet the dollar goal that allowed us to break
ground this summer.
Libby was also largely responsible for the
school’s increase in its endowment from
$4 million to nearly $10 million during
her tenure. She felt passionately about this
project and can leave the school knowing her
efforts left Rowland Hall on secure footing
for future stability.
Julie continued, “We expect to hear great
things from Libby. Her son, Ellis, continues
as a student entering the eighth grade and I
know Libby is looking forward to being just
one among many wonderful school parents.”
Thank you, Libby, for all you have done in
behalf of Rowland Hall.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN PHASE 1A GOALS EXCEEDED
Who would have guessed that during one of the worst recessions in decades the
Rowland Hall community would come together to raise $21 million to begin the
work of building exceptional, state-of-the-art facilities for its older students?
As the first shovels broke ground on the new campus, Associate Head of School
Julie Barrett expressed appreciation for the hard work of many and the leadership of
Capital Campaign Chair, Jennifer Price-Wallin.
“Jennifer never wavered in her vision and commitment to the project,” Julie said.
“All of our students will benefit from her hard work, tenacity, and positive focus.”

MIKE ROBERTS’ RUN 4 ROWLAND HALL
Eighth grade English teacher Mike Roberts wanted to donate more
to the new campus than his personal income would allow. So he
combined his passion for the school with his training as an ultramarathoner.
Mr. Robs (as he is affectionately known) raised $25,000 in
donations, which was matched to total $50,000, by running from
Salt Lake City to Las Vegas. Cheering fans and television news
cameras waved him into high temperatures on the morning of
June 5, 2013, as he left the McCarthey Campus. Mike successfully
completed the run, all 451 miles, to Las Vegas on June 21, 2013.
“I appreciate the school letting me play out this crazy idea,” Mr.
Robs said after some recovery time. “It turned out far better than I
could have ever imagined.”
Two fun facts: He lost six pounds over the entire run and ate far
too many Egg McMuffins. Read more about the results:

WEINHOLTZ FAMILY ESTABLISHES ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS
Michael and Donna Weinholtz were so moved by their Rowland Hall experience as parents of
Chase, their Rowland Hall “lifer,” that they created an extraordinary opportunity for future
students. With a gift of $1 million, the couple established the Weinholtz Family Scholarship Fund
for McCarthey Campus students.
The Wienholz’s sum up their feelings with this: “We feel that our son not only received a worldclass education at Rowland Hall, but a transformative overall experience as well – one based on
caring, support, and individual attention from the most amazing faculty and staff imaginable. We
wanted very much to provide others with the opportunity to share in the Rowland Hall experience
of academic excellence and well-rounded personal development.”
The fund will be put to use immediately. This fall, two incoming Lower School students will
receive full scholarships. Income generated from the endowed fund will support the students
throughout their years at Rowland Hall.
“Donna and Michael are two of the finest people you will ever meet,” former Director of
Development Libby Ellis said. “They are selfless, give from the heart, and besides that, they are just
really fun. Our school community has benefited tremendously from their energy and generosity.”

ENTREPRENEURS CIRCLE ACTIVATES RH STUDENTS IN 2012-2013
The Entrepreneur’s Circle is a group of Rowland Hall alumni, parents, and friends who
gather to share their business expertise, to network, and to give back to the school. We are
grateful to the members who hosted two interactive events this year.
Early last fall, Sarah Evershed Penna,‘02, co-founder and owner of media company
Big Frame and the Bammo channel, and her husband, Joe Penna, who maintains the
YouTube channel MysteryGuitarMan, spoke with Rowland Hall students about turning
ideas into functioning businesses. Their presentations were inspirational while providing
useful information, particularly in the realm of social media.
In addition, 12 Upper School students participated in an entrepreneurial Interim trip
this spring. The first stop was the University of Utah’s Pierre Lassonde Entrepreneurial
Center. Students were presented with the challenge of identifying a problem, creating a
solution, generating a business plan, and pitching their concept to the team. The next stop
was Silicon Valley, where they attended a Launchpad class at Stanford University. They
met with venture capitalists and founders of several start-up companies to learn the basics
of business.
“I loved visiting all the start-ups,” then freshman Haley Fort said. “The Da Vinci robot
from Intuitive Surgical was probably my favorite. Participating made me see all the hard
work involved in starting up a business.”
We would especially like to thank parents and trustees Alex Bocock and Mike
Levinthal for hosting and shaping these experiences for our students. A list of all the
members of the Entrepreneurs’ Circle can be found on page 49.
THE LEGACY SOCIETY
During the past year, Rowland Hall was fortunate to be the beneficiary of a number
of gifts from families who planned ahead and made either a lasting gift through their
estate plans or via other life-income-generating mechanisms. These gifts will provide the
school with financial options for scholarship funds, funds for the new campus, and vital
operating income.
Individuals and families who work with the school or have notified us of their
intentions to make bequests to the school become members of “The Legacy Society.”
This year we acknowledge Anne Sheldon DeBruin, ’43, Claudia Lang Eland, ’52,
and Sally Lehman Boynton Murray, for their generosity to Rowland Hall.
If you have named Rowland Hall-St. Mark’s School in your estate plans or would like
to discuss options on how to give a tax-wise planned gift to the school, please contact
Robyn Payne at (801)924-2961 or email [email protected].

ANNUAL FUND 2012-2013 SURPASSES GOAL
This year’s Annual Fund successfully raised $764,682.00.
During a year in which the school held both an auction and a capital campaign,
our community pulled together to surpass the 2012-2013 Annual Fund goal.
Congratulations!
The funds provided support for an art specialist in the Beginning School, a
mathematics-teaching consultant to the middle and upper schools, technology
integration, and professional development for faculty. These new positions and
initiatives furthered Rowland Hall’s charge to offer an extraordinary learning
environment. Thank you, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, alumni, and
friends for your generous contributions!
Very Special Thanks to Annual
Fund Chairs Jill and David Lang
A huge thank you goes out to Jill
and David Lang for their tireless
dedication as this year’s Annual Fund
chairs. They worked hard to educate
our community on the importance
of contributing to the Annual Fund
and were an invaluable part of the
campaign’s success. We are thrilled
that they have agreed to chair the
Annual Fund again next year.
Jill and David Lang
Faculty and Staff
Yet again this year, our amazing
faculty and staff hit the 100 percent
participation mark for the Annual
Fund. Thank you for your support!
We apologize for not listing Fraser and Meg Smith as Hallmarker Bronze donors and
Peter and Bonnie Feola as Contributors in the 2011-2012 edition of the Annual Report.
2012 - 2013 ANNUAL FUND GIFTS
Our goal this year was $740,000.
