Donor Spotlights Giving to the Capital Campaign

Ensuring the Future of Castilleja

THE CASTILLEJA COMMUNITY IS INSPIRED TO MAKE OUR NEW CAMPUS A REALITY

The Castilleja community has come together to support Reimagining the Circle. Our donors—including current and past parents and trustees, alumnae, and employees—are inspired by the student-centered and engaging learning spaces, flexible and adaptable community hubs, innovative and vibrant design elements, and sustainability features. The modernized spaces will also allow for increased enrollment and expansion of our tuition assistance program; gifts to the campaign can open new avenues of access to this transformative education. Ensuring Castilleja’s future and making the Castilleja education accessible to the next generation of women is at the heart of our donors' decision to support the Reimagining the Circle campaign.

Securing Castilleja’s Future

Alumna B.J. Lockhart Cowie ’54

“Castilleja was an important step in my journey. The academic environment was intellectually challenging, and my classmates were interesting and fun. Castilleja motivated me to stretch my horizons. One result was a stimulating, exciting career in PR, politics, and higher education. These many years later, I am thrilled that I can contribute to the Reimagining the Circle campaign so Castilleja can keep pace with 21st century learning. Providing quality education and opportunities for young women is one of my priorities. I am proud to help make the new campus a reality and to invest in Castilleja’s future. Hope to see you at the dedication!”

Empowering Young Women

Current Parents Nazhin Zarghamee and Kourosh Gharachorloo P’23

“We have seen firsthand the transformative impact the Castilleja education has on the students. Castilleja empowers young women to be curious learners, purposeful changemakers, and confident leaders. We know from personal experience as tech executives and entrepreneurs how important it is for our girls to learn at an early age to find their voice and discover their leadership. We donated to the Reimagining the Circle campaign to ensure this excellent education continues in tandem with a state-of-the-art facility to empower the next generation of girls and to secure Castilleja’s place as a leader in the field of education.”

Creating Opportunity and Community

Current Parents Sher Amos-Grosser and Adam Grosser P’22

“Newer facilities—like the Bourn Lab and the Joan Z. Lonergan Center—are more than just improvements to the infrastructure, they are resources that change lives. Reimagining the campus will create new opportunities that broaden the curriculum, enrich the student experience, and build community. At Castilleja, everyone is invited to share these spaces; it doesn’t matter where you come from or what you look like. We support the campaign to enable a richer education and to help create a space that includes and involves everyone around the Circle.”
