CATHEDRAL SCHOOL FOR BOYS
OUR MISSION
• The growth of our endowment to over $25 million. • The launch of two essential endowed programs: The Forbes Chair, our first endowed teacher chair, and the Community Scholars Program, designed to attract high-achieving students from underrepresented communities to Cathedral. • Record giving to the Cathedral School Fund. • One of the strongest average faculty salary and benefits packages among our Bay Area peer group. I mention all of this not to toot our own horn, but rather to render somewhat objectively the continued strength of our community’s response to the needs and opportunities of Cathedral School for Boys. Your support helps deliver tangible results and it helps ensure that we remain the finest school for boys anywhere. Thank you for your belief in our School and your enthusiasm in its Mission of providing an “excellent education for boys.” Very truly yours,
DEAR CATHEDRAL SCHOOL COMMUNITY: It can seem contradictory, at times, to emphasize finances within an institution that is as relationally grounded as ours. Isn’t a school about so much more than money, one might ask? Certainly, there are a variety of factors that make any institution excellent. However, we
To provide an excellent education for boys at the elementary level. To attract a diverse student body of strong academic potential.
know that financial support represents a condition precedent to the faithful delivery of any school’s Mission. In fact, I would argue that it is precisely because of this community’s commitment to Mission that the School has done so well and continues to garner such enviable philanthropic support. In short, our Mission matters, and you continue to support our Mission in gracious and influential ways. This academic year, in particular, is monumental because it marks the achievement of a variety of important strategic goals towards which Cathedral School has been working over the last few years. These goals include: • The successful completion of a comprehensive capital campaign that has generated over $21 million in gifts and commitments to the School. • The completion of a $14 million campus renovation and expansion project.
To provide a school committed to intellectual inquiry and rigor, centered in the Episcopal tradition, respectful of and welcoming to people of all religious traditions and beliefs. To develop social responsibility through exemplary programs of outreach and service. To create a community bonded by open-heartedness, hope, compassion, and concern.
