Tuition on the Track raises $65,000 – $15,000 over goal – for financial aid
Dear Catlin Gabel community members,
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic participation in Tuition on the Track. It was such a pleasure to see the entire community uniting to support financial aid. With your help we exceeded our goal of $50,000 and raised a whopping $65,000! We couldn't have done this without our many sponsors and individual supporters — we really couldn't be more grateful!
Having gone to Catlin Gabel for our entire lives, we have experienced firsthand the benefits of bringing together students from many different backgrounds. We are thrilled that the money raised will go to further this important school initiative.

Zimbabwean volunteer at CG featured on KATU news
KATU Channel 2 News came to campus to film a story on Blessing Makwera, a young man from Zimbabwe who is volunteering in our Middle School. Blessing was severely injured five years ago, when a land mine exploded near his mouth, and he has been in the U.S. for reconstructive surgery. MS counselor Kristin Ogard and her daughter Hayden have been involved in helping Blessing since 2009, when Kristin visited Zimbabwe with the nonprofit Operation of Hope and met Blessing, and Hayden's class (now juniors) raised money for one of Blessing's operations. Blessing is volunteering at Catlin Gabel as a way of acknowledging the kindness he has received from our community
Update from head search chair Peter Steinberger
Dear parents and guardians, Upper School students, board members, and faculty-staff,
I'm writing to let you know that the head of school search committee and our search consultants, working in close collaboration, have now completed the school profile. This is the document that the consultants will use – indeed are using already – to introduce Catlin Gabel to prospective candidates. The profile has been posted on the school website, and we invite you to take a look at it. This document was the product of a great deal of careful thought. We feel it provides an honest and comprehensive picture of our school, and believe it will indeed be helpful in producing a terrific pool of applicants. We hope you agree.
The preliminary stages of the search have now been completed. To remind you of the steps so far:
• In various settings, the search committee engaged in lengthy and serious discussions about our ambitions for Catlin Gabel and for a new head of school.
• On the basis of an intensive and very competitive process, we selected outstanding search consultants.
• We solicited opinions and recommendations from the entire community regarding the search process and possible candidates.
• The consultants formally surveyed the community and also conducted a series of meetings on campus with a wide range of constituents.
• On the basis of all this information, we were able to develop a systematic view of community-wide opinion on a large variety of issues that resulted in, among other things, the profile.
The search is now entering what might be called its silent stage. For the next several months we will build the applicant pool. Our consultants will evaluate recommendations from any number of sources, both from within and outside the Catlin Gabel community, and will work with potential candidates to ascertain and, in many cases, encourage their interest. Much of this is, of course, behind-the-scenes work. It will be conducted largely in confidence, which is why there will be little if anything to report for several months. During the summer the search committee will identify and meet in person with a small number of especially promising candidates from which we hope to select our finalists. The plan is to bring finalists – perhaps three in number – to campus for interviews in mid to late September. At that point the silent phase will suddenly end. On-campus interviews will be public, and we intend to make them as inclusive as possible.
All of this means that – barring the unforeseen – you will next hear from me in late August or early September, at which time I will inform the entire community of the identities of our finalists and provide detailed information about the interview process itself. The search committee has worked together closely, very effectively, and, I must say, in a spirit of wonderful collegiality. We remain extremely optimistic and excited, and are already aware of a number of highly qualified people who are likely to become active and very strong candidates. On behalf of the committee, I can say that expressions of support and enthusiasm from the community have been most encouraging, and we greatly look forward to your participation in September as the final stages of the search unfold. In the meantime, and as always, thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, and the like will always be welcome and can be communicated to me at email@example.com.

Ron Sobel receives Model UN lifetime achievement award
The Chris Allen Memorial Advisor's Award was presented to Upper School Spanish teacher Ron Sobel at the closing ceremonies of the Oregon Model UN conference in Eugene. The award is given annually to an adult involved with MUN based on service to an individual club or the model as a whole. Ron has served as treasurer of the Oregon High School International Relations League and served as advisor to Catlin Gabel's MUN program for many years. Every Catlin Gabel student participant at this year's conference submitted a nominating letter in support of Ron. The letters spoke to Ron's leadership, sense of humor, passion for cultivating a sense of global citizenship in youth, and the kind and loving way in which he has fostered relationships with his students and colleagues.

Video: Shoe design and leadership Winterim
Catlin Gabel students enrolled in this Winterim project designed shoes by interviewing Portlanders on the street and getting an idea of a need they could fulfill in shoe design. They worked in teams to figure out how to solve their problems. The project, powered by Catlin Gabel's Knight Family Scholars Program, used the techniques of design thinking to teach the students much more than shoe design: it taught them how to collaborate effectively, learn the many ways to solve problems, and what it takes be be a leader. After only three days to work together to figure out their strategy and design their shoe, they presented their prototypes to a jury of well-known shoe designers from the Portland area at Pensole Academy in downtown Portland. »Read more about the project on Edutopia
You can read a great article about this project on Edutopia, and KGW-TV also broadcast a story about it.
