Editor’s Note: THOUGHT LEADERS
When I began to ponder this year’s Red&Gold theme—Thought Leaders— many famous people came to mind: Malala Yousafzai, Dalai Lama, Susan B. Anthony, Abe Lincoln, and Cesar Chavez. You know, the kind of people who stood up for change, often at personal expense, when many sat down. These thought leaders not only
In this issue, as an ode to the three pillars of our Strategic Plan, we wanted to uncover those deeds and stories of the people, programs, and places that highlighted thought leadership within our community. Not surprisingly, there were many stories to tell. While we would have loved to cover them all, we are proud of the ones we were able to feature, such as the piece written by Tara Boland on the School’s Co-Lead Teaching Model, Kate Juergens’s article highlighting ways to harness optimism, and Chris Corrigan’s story on our Puerto Rico service trip called, “In Giving We Receive.” Stories of Cathedral community thought leadership can be found throughout this issue and provide excellent examples of thoughtfulness in action. To further this theme of thought leadership, the Red&Gold is asking our community to consider how each of us might act as a thought leader. The way to begin is to recognize which societal conventions you feel need to change. Then start small. Contemplate ways you, personally, can help make a change. When we model the change we would like to see, not only do we change our lives for the better, we also affect those around us. Cheers,
challenged convention, they also marshaled change. In doing so, they inspired society to think, act, and believe differently. I think it is important to remember that many of these thought leaders were not immediately recognized; they were disregarded at first. In fact, much of wide-spread societal change encountered strong resistance before mass adoption. This means that thought leaders are people who tend to do right for goodness’ sake or because it feels right, not due to the promise of fame and fortune. Of course, thought leaders are not just famous people; they can also be not-so-famous people. A thought leader could be a mom, a teacher, a good Samaritan, a big-hearted kid, or a chaplain, to name a few. Everyday folks may not have the same national impact as the gentleman on our cover, Martin Luther King, Jr.; however, their deeds can still be seen as remarkable on an individual level.

To provide an excellent education for boys at the elementary level. To attract a diverse student body of strong academic potential. 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
This large-scale rendering of Martin Luther King Jr. (48" x 66"), created by the Class of 2019, integrates themes of identity, leadership, civil rights, and current events. Art projects such as these aid students in the mastery of blending colors with oil pastel and depicting proper proportions. At the same time, these projects provide the opportunity to visually honor thought leaders who have made a global impact. I plan to work with eighth-grade students on a new thought leader rendering each year. If you have suggestions of thought leaders who could be our next subject, send your ideas to oconnor@cathedralschool.net. And while at School, check out this beautiful piece along with those of Cesar Chavez (42" x 66", Class of 2019) and Abraham Lincoln (48" x 71", Class of 2013).
