Because of you, we can illuminate the world.
From the Head of School and Board Chair
Dear Latin Community,
Charlotte Latin School has always agreed that it’s better to light a candle than rage against the darkness. Over the past 54 years, we have lit as many candles as possible, fostering our students’ love of learning and their Core Values. Every day, we illuminate topics and skills that seemed inscrutable to our students only hours before, kindling their own radiance. Our motto, Inlustrate Orbem, means “Enlighten the World”: in practice, that means not only that we explicate human knowledge to our students, but that we hope they will ultimately be beacons of light themselves.
This Gratitude Report contains updates on some of the ways the members of the Latin community shine light on each other and the world around us: in classrooms, in the digital landscapes of virtual reality, in the red Carolina soil. While student-teacher relationships are at the core of our community, Charlotte Latin would be in the dark if not for the work of selfless donors and volunteers, parent organizations, and devoted alumni.
We appreciate your essential financial support and your tireless volunteer work — but we equally value how you celebrate our students and lift them up, whether that means cheering them on at Patten Stadium, applauding their performances in Thies Auditorium, or discussing the lessons of the school day at the dinner table.
Your generosity and your commitment to the future of our school has ensured that for everyone who is part of the Latin community, the light of understanding will continue to shine brightly.
Forever grateful,

A Letter from Chief Financial and Operations Officer Rob McArthur
Your philanthropic support is essential to Charlotte Latin’s financial health and future. This school year, tuition generated 83% of our income. The Latin Fund, endowment, and auxiliary program revenues support balancing our annual budget.
Your gifts to the Latin Fund and our endowment bridge the budget gap. As costs rise across every category of our budget, your investment sustains the caliber of the Latin experience. You are essential to keeping Latin special: thank you.
In the following pages, you will see many examples of the remarkable investments you’ve made possible for our students and faculty. Because of you, we can say “yes” to these projects, whether they are part of our annual planning cycle or they address immediate needs that arise during the year.
As Latin’s endowment grows, so does our ability to invest more dollars in our academic and extracurricular programs, our employees, and most importantly, our students.
Charlotte Latin is in the midst of a master planning process for our school and our campus. Our community’s input has been invaluable in determining how we will responsibly and effectively meet the school’s needs and plan for future growth. In the coming year, I look forward to sharing more with you about the recommendations of this process and our plans for Latin’s future.
Your generous philanthropic support allows us to imagine this future with confidence. As Latin’s leadership plans for the school’s continued success, we are profoundly grateful for your trust and partnership.

Illuminating TECHNOLOGY Infrastructure
Julia Walthall-Eisman, Manatees, and Virtual Reality at Charlotte Latin
In an office with polka-dot walls, Julia WalthallEisman, Grade 8 science teacher and Middle School Educational Technologist, is surrounded by Harry Potter memorabilia and tech gear. She’s been teaching science for 21 years, but she arrived at Latin as the role of Educational Technologist was changing: “It had been more of a fix-it person who did a little tech teaching,” she explains, “but now it’s more of a pedagogical partner.”
In other words, she makes sure that when Latin spends money on new technologies — like the cart of virtual reality (VR) headsets sitting in a corner of her office — that it not only complements the existing curriculum, but that it strengthens it. As Walthall-Eisman discusses how technology expands the horizons of Latin’s students, the words flow unstoppably out of her like computer software with a buffer overflow: her passion for her work is obvious and infectious.
What’s your philosophy as an educational technologist?
As a teacher, I’m a very progressive educator. But as an ed tech, I’m fairly conservative. I don’t like to do things just because they’re flashy. So in
conversations about technology at Latin, I start with two areas. The first is “Are we using technology as more than a replacement for a piece of paper?”
Because to be honest, there are times when paper is better for students, so maybe we shouldn’t be replacing a handwritten document with a Google Doc.
When I’m having conversations with faculty, I ask, “What part of your curriculum feels like it needs an infusion of excitement or engagement? What part feels frustrating or cumbersome, and what part feels like the students aren’t learning as much as they could?” The technology should be a tool: it shouldn’t be the focus.
What are some ways technology has improved Middle School classrooms?
The ability to bring in experts from anywhere into the classroom. Emily Hinshaw [’16] did a Google Meet with our Grade 8 science class from Zurich, Switzerland, where she is pursuing a PhD in Geology. After Grade 6 did their Silk Road evening, they had a musician who plays with Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble come in through Google Meet.
Technology changes the feedback loop. Students can get feedback on their knowledge very quickly to then make changes in their academic behavior.
At other schools, I used to do a weekly quiz: I would collect them all, score them all, and the feedback loop was longer — that reduced the amount of deep conversation I could have with my students about their understanding.
What made you want to incorporate virtual reality into Middle School classrooms?
I was studying the research behind immersive learning; the data shows that retention of information is much longer-lasting than in a traditional environment. Parents’ Council was kind enough to pay for 24 VR headsets. I started with a faculty learning group: four sessions with 10 teachers. The first session, I had them in headsets, walking with elephants and swimming with sea animals of their choice, like manatees,
just to see what it feels like. That gave me a core group of teachers who I could ask, “Hey would you be willing to try this in your own classes?”
In sixth grade, we did an app-based experience in science class where they could disarticulate a skeleton. They could blow it up and go into the knee joint, or manipulate the bones in a ball-and-socket joint. I worked with a Grade 8 Spanish class to review language related to the environment: weather, but also landmarks, trees, mountains.
unit in Grade 8 science classes, students traveled to the International Space Station. I wheeled the headset cart over to Tom Dubick for his Fab Academy students and introduced them to a 3D drawing app called Gravity Sketch. I asked, “Can you draw something and then get your 3D printers to print it?” I didn’t know how to do it, but they figured it out and wrote up a protocol.
What did that look like?
I created a virtual experience where kids walked into a warehouse full of what looked like snow globes, and each of these globes was a Spanish-speaking location, like a famous plaza in Madrid or Machu Picchu in Peru. Then we had one student in a headset and one not in a headset: the student in the headset had to respond in the target language to questions about the environment where they were. The pairing of students in the headset and out of the headset has been really fruitful for us. The biggest misconception about VR and education is that you put kids in headsets and they’re in there for the whole period. That’s not at all been what we’ve done: so far, no child has been in a headset for longer than 15 minutes at a time. I think of the headset as being the experience that you process outside of the headset, like doing a lab in a science class.
So what’s the status of VR at Latin?
We did eight total VR experiences this year. Our Grade 8 history classes took a virtual tour of the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. During a space
I’d like to get up to 15 or 16 VR experiences next year. I just did the purchasing for next year and projected which applications we’re going to use. The onus is on me to show the faculty how it can connect with what they’re doing and how it can deepen the learning for teachers and students alike.

Donors Sow the Seeds for Lower School’s First-Ever CAPSTONE PROJECT
The Student Leadership Development program launched the first-ever Lower School capstone project: a new community garden that’s bursting with potential for experiential education and cross-divisional collaboration.
“The ‘why’ gets me excited,” admitted Leads With Honor teacher Alex Beck, whose face lights up whenever he describes the opportunities that will take root. “The new garden is a resource that’s going to enhance curriculum interactions and collaborations. Students will be able to learn about worms and other decomposers, identify parts of a plant, compare germination rates of seeds, observe pollinators, create art installations, and so much more.”
Fifth graders dove into the project last fall, under the direction of Mr. Beck and their teachers, with input from Director of Facilities Stephen Starner ’98 on sustainable resources— first working as architects to redesign the existing garden located outside of Carol Hall. Through the winter and spring months, students rolled up their sleeves to level the land, assemble and fill the new raised beds, and spread stone on the pathways.
“This garden is built for purpose and with purpose,” emphasized Dr. David-Aaron Roth, Director of Student Leadership Development. “We had the necessary seed funding because of donors who believe in the importance of building a caring community through service and leadership development. This type of project is the bedrock of Bob Chapman, whose inspiring philanthropy catalyzed the growth of our leadership program.”
The new living laboratory will serve as a nexus for cross-divisional work, where students of different grades can collaborate, learn, and grow together. The possibilities for leadership development and community engagement are vast: the garden’s yield can support local organizations, whether through donations or entrepreneurial projects such as selling dried herbs.
Now rising to Middle School, the proud creators of this space say they look forward to returning in future years to see the fruits of their labor. One student summed up the sentiment beautifully:
“Being able to come back someday and say, ‘I did that,’ that’s my favorite part of this garden.”
at LATIN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Latin faculty and staff keep up with the latest developments in their fields through a wide array of programs, ranging from the Texas Instruments T3 International Conference to the Day of Dyslexia symposium to the Applied Data Science Program on Artificial Intelligence for Decision Making at MIT.
However, some of the professional development at Latin spans years rather than days: for example, Stacy Mercer, Upper School math teacher, recently received her master’s degree in education from the University of Virginia with a focus on educational technology.
I looked around at all these amazing people I work with and thought, “Man, I want to contribute to the number of people that we have on staff with master’s degrees.” I absolutely love learning, which is probably why I work at a school.
I took many advanced math courses in college — just from a curiosity standpoint, I would love to take more. But I decided that pursuing a master’s degree in education would be more beneficial: it would have tools for the classroom and I would learn about the cognitive development of students.
I teach calculus, which can be intimidating. Even for students who have been really good at math, calculus is a whole new way of thinking. In one of my grad school classes, I learned about neuroplasticity and how the brain creates new pathways. Being able to talk to students about how their brains work has been really powerful: I tell them that if they trust me, we can do hard things. They don’t always get as excited as I do, but I think it’s fun for them.
I took one class on designing digital learning where the culminating project required me to design instructional material. It made me pause and think: “Why am I presenting it this way? What problems might my students encounter?” It was so different than the standard “I’m going to stand in front of the room, write an equation on the board, and talk about it.” There’s absolutely a time and a place for that, but now my supplemental lessons are much more engaging because I was forced to make them that way.
Unveiling the Martha Owen Lower School Faculty Fund Endowment
“Martha loved this faculty. They were all so close and meant so much to Martha. In celebration of her 45 years of service and her selfless commitment to enriching the lives of others, the Martha Owen Lower School Faculty Fund Endowment has been established. With initial funding provided by Susan Bliss and Stan Archibald, this endowment provides support in perpetuity to benefit Lower School teachers through morale-building initiatives, priorities that enhance education and teaching experience, and caring for them and their families in time of need.”
Mark Tayloe, Head of Lower School
A Letter from the 2023-24 Latin Fund Chairs Ruth (Van Dyke) ’02 and John Wyatt P ’33 ’35 ’38
Our first gift to Latin came from pure gratitude for the exceptional education it provided: a $5 pledge in May 2003, just one year after Ruth graduated in 2002. Now, 21 years later, as our family’s bond with Latin and our commitment to philanthropy have both deepened, we’ve found joy in sharing our passion for the Latin Fund with others.
As the 2023-24 Latin Fund Chairs, we have front-row seats to our community’s remarkable generosity. We are humbled and inspired by your support, which collectively raised $2,407,520 for the 2023-24 Latin Fund. Thank you!
It is a privilege to hear from alumni who give in gratitude for the education they received and the ways in which Latin changed their lives for the better. It’s equally inspiring to speak with parents who give to support the incredible faculty and staff who see, know, and love our children. And as you’ll see in this year’s recognition lists, Hawks of all kinds — faculty, staff, grandparents, parents of alumni, and friends — give to ensure Latin’s continued excellence.
We must also extend our heartfelt thanks to the dedicated Latin Fund volunteers who joined us in the 2023-24 school year. By championing the Latin Fund and sharing their own stories, they inspired hundreds of families to join them in investing in Latin.
We’ve seen firsthand how well Latin prepares students to take their next steps — both at school and in life. Thanks to your generosity, the Latin Fund has prepared our school to soar into the new year.
Thank you for your support, your dedication, and your love for Latin. Go Hawks!

MISSION COMPLETE FOR LATIN
FLY DAY is Latin’s annual festive and fun day of giving. Hawks near and far — parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, and staff — join together to celebrate and support the school we know and love.
This year’s FLY DAY 007 mission: 1,600 donors. FLY DAY 007 was [MISSION COMPLETE] with 1,640 secret agent donors raising $353,490 for the Latin Fund.
Grades 1, 7, and 10 were the G.O.A.T.s of FLY DAY, thanks to families stepping up for the Parent Participation Challenge. 364 spy kids were treated to a snuggly visit from baby goats on the lawn between Founders’ Hall and the Knight-Dickson Library.
FLY DAY 007 would not have been possible without the 102 volunteers at Hawk Intelligence Agency who helped recruit parent and alumni donors, delivered top-secret notes, and wrote thank you postcards.

Raising the Curtain on the NEXT ACT OF THIES AUDITORIUM
Since 1986 — spanning 37 years, 5,600+ events, and nearly 2,000,000 attendees — Thies Auditorium has been the heart of Charlotte Latin School. A central spot on Latin’s campus, Thies has hosted big moments for every Latin family. With care and attention, the 715 iconic red seats lasted almost twice as long as expected — and in the summer of 2024, the whole space got a much-needed overhaul.
Thanks to the generosity of donors to the Thies Campaign — and the leadership of Thies Campaign Chairs and champions of the arts at Latin, Gina and Tom Lawrence — the floors in the lobby were replaced, the control booth was modernized, accessibility was improved, and 715 new seats upholstered in Latin blue were installed. In addition, the Lillie Cowan Endowment for the Arts was established, honoring a beloved member of the Latin community while providing perpetual support to Latin’s incredible performing and visual arts programs.
“Thies has been the place where generations of Latin students and their families have recognized achievements, celebrated milestones, and enjoyed the sights and sounds of all that our talented students and faculty have to offer.
Whether it is celebrations of moving up and moving on, concerts, Hawkspys, Convocation, Mosaic Night, parent meetings, admissions events, or opening nights, everyone in the Latin community has experiences tied to this special space. We are excited to see it brought into a new era of excellence and are ready for many more years of welcoming the Latin community.”
Gina and Tom Lawrence P ’24 ’26 Thies Campaign Chairs
LILLIE’S ENDURING LIGHT
The Class of 2024 crowded into the Downer Lobby of the Horne Performing Arts Center on May 17 for the dedication of a plaque to Lillie Cowan, their classmate who died in 2021. The ceremony marked the inauguration of the Lillie Cowan Endowment for the Arts, dedicated to funding the performing and visual arts programs at Latin, where Lillie thrived during her life. Also in attendance were a broad array of Latin staff and faculty, Lillie’s sisters Isabelle ’22 and Susannah, her grandfather Brendan McInerney, and her parents Jo and Will Cowan, all celebrating the life of an extraordinary young woman.
From the remarks of Jo Cowan:
We considered funding some sort of graduation prize or scholarship, but that wasn’t a good fit because Lillie wasn’t the kind of child who won prizes. She was just too… Lillie. She obeyed the rules as long as she felt they applied, but she didn’t care about being the winner if she didn’t value the contest. Whenever I tried to convince the girls to play the Quiet Game she would brightly declare “I lose” rather than suffer being silent. While she was fiercely competitive about some important things (like beating her sisters at Mario Kart and winning family poker night), she wasn’t about her art. She just loved creating things. It didn’t make sense to honor just one annual winner, the best at something, because that wasn’t what Lillie cared about.
The arts bring us together in a way nothing else does. In a world often divided by differences, they foster empathy and understanding, uniting us in our common humanity. The Lillie Cowan Endowment helps fund the arts for everyone at Latin.
From the first major project — restoring Thies Auditorium — it will continue to provide funding for fine arts, visual arts, performing arts, and all the things that Lillie loved. It will benefit the entire community, now and for years to come. There’s no single winner here; we all benefit from the arts, from the most talented seniors to the youngest students sculpting their first work in clay, to parents, alumni, faculty and administration. It’s a wonderful way to give back to everyone here and to remember Lillie for who she was: a determined young girl with a passion for the arts and a deep desire to make the world a better place for everyone in it. Her life was tragically cut short, but I hope that her legacy will be that the continued funding of the arts at Latin will continue to bring us together, fostering unity and community in this remarkable school.
A Legacy of GIVING
Dr. Kenneth Collins, 1944–2024
In 2011, Dr. Ken Collins was joined by his wife, Mary Beth, as he met with the Charlotte Latin Philanthropy team to share his vision for the Collins Lower School Scholarship Fund. An Upper School math teacher, swim coach, chess player, and icon for Latin’s alumni, Dr. Collins wanted to do everything he could to increase student diversity at Charlotte Latin, beginning in the formative Lower School years.
With the Collins Lower School Scholarship Fund, Dr. Collins hoped to inspire others to give generously in support of his vision for Latin’s future, which has – so far – supported the Latin journey for three Collins Scholars.
“Doc Collins saw a need and responded in a way that has truly changed lives. By allocating a scholarship for a Lower School student, he understood that some families either couldn’t afford Latin ‘yet’ or were intimidated and deterred by the long road ahead. Even though he taught the oldest and most mathematically adept students at Latin, he valued the foundation Latin provided and knew that early access could lead to even greater academic success. He wanted every child to experience the magical years of beginning school. I have seen, firsthand, these success stories play out. I love that his greatest formula was one of the heart.”
Mary Yorke Robison Oates ’83, Director of Enrollment Management
“You could hear the air leave Thies Auditorium when Doc Collins announced that he and Mary Beth were going to donate $500,000 to start several Lower School scholarships so that the cost of attendance was not going to be a burden.”
Christopher Downing, Director of Financial Aid and Scholarships
“The Collins Scholarship will forever be remembered in our family as we know that without it, our family would not have been financially able to provide such an enriched learning foundation for our child. It is our hope and prayer that the donors are keenly aware how the act of giving has allowed another student to share the pride and strong appreciation for learning that resonates in the Charlotte Latin community.”
The family of the first Collins Scholarship recipient
Since 1970, community has been the heart and soul of Charlotte Latin. Teachers, parents, volunteers, founders, mentors, donors, coaches, students, alumni: they’ve all shaped the school’s spirit and built something larger than any one individual could. The school doesn’t exist without the Latin community, its core values, and its commitment to academic excellence. That generosity with knowledge, time, and philanthropy ensures Latin’s lasting legacy of whole-child education for generations of students.
Some of our generous donors have chosen to include the school in their long-term gift planning, a testament to their lifelong commitment to and gratitude for the Latin experience. Previously known as the Capital Society, this year our legacy giving society was updated to more accurately reflect the role they play in the school’s success: Pillars of Latin.
Dr. Kenneth Collins, beloved Upper School math teacher for 50 years starting in 1971, gave generously to Latin during his lifetime with his exuberant spirit, his hours spent educating and nurturing generations of teenagers, and not least, his dollars — with gifts given both during his lifetime and after, through an annuity.
Dr. Collins was the exemplar of a Pillar of Latin, upholding what has made Latin a special place for more than 50 years, while illuminating a bright future for Hawks yet to come. Charlotte Latin School thanks all Pillars of Latin for carrying forward Latin’s legacy of excellence and community.
ILLUMINATING LATIN’SLEADERS
Celebrating the Latin community’s leaders – those who generously give their time, expertise, and philanthropic dollars
Illuminating the IMPACT of the Alumni Endowment
When a Latin graduate makes a gift to the Latin Fund, 25% is allocated to the Alumni Endowment. Established in 1990 and currently valued at $2.5 million, Latin’s Alumni Endowment traditionally supported three main initiatives each school year: the Inlustrate Orbem Awards, the Distinguished Faculty Chairs, and Learning to Fly Scholarships.
Recognizing our alumni’s desire to expand their impact on school life today, the Alumni Governing Board (AGB) unanimously approved new initiatives this year. These include the introduction of an Inlustrate Orbem Cross-Divisional Award, the creation of the Alumni Service Award, annual commitments to the Plus Fund, and a one-time gift to the Collins Lower School Scholarship Fund.
Inlustrate Orbem Awards: Introducing the Cross-Divisional Award
The Inlustrate Orbem Awards recognize and reward exceptional faculty members who have made significant contributions to the life of our school. Each recipient is honored with a $5,000 award in acknowledgment of their service and commitment to excellence. Throughout our school’s evolution, faculty and staff across our three divisions have profoundly affected the lives of Latin students. In recognition and gratitude of the individuals whose impact transcends the school’s divisional structure, the Alumni Governing Board unanimously agreed to establish a fourth Inlustrate Orbem award: the Inlustrate Orbem Cross-Divisional award.
In May 2024, Jill Flynn (Lower School), Suzanne Little Robards ’82 (Middle School), and Alan Becker (Upper School) all received Inlustrate Orbem Awards. Bilal Butt (Middle and Upper School Speech and Debate) was recognized as the inaugural Cross-Divisional recipient.
The Collins Lower School Scholarship Fund
In memory of our beloved mathematician, coach, and philanthropist, Dr. Ken Collins, a one-time gift of $15,000 was contributed to the Collins Lower School Scholarship Fund. Dr. Collins was a steadfast supporter of our alumni community, and his legacy of generosity and dedication to Charlotte Latin continues to inspire all alumni.
Learning to Fly Scholarships
Established in the 2020-21 school year, the Learning to Fly Scholarship is awarded to three Lower School students to assist in meeting a variety of financial aid needs. Priority is given to alumni children with the hope that more alumni families will consider Latin as an option for their children.
The Plus Fund
Families on substantial financial aid often do not have the resources to pay for items beyond tuition, such as lunch, books, rentals, sports fees, travel experiences, or learning resources. The Plus Fund provides funds above tuition assistance to finance these additional and/or unexpected costs, ensuring a student admitted to Charlotte Latin will have similar access to all experiences.
The Alumni Service Award: Recognizing Sally Gray Smith ’82
The Alumni Service Award recognizes an alumnus or alumna who has consistently demonstrated exemplary service to Charlotte Latin, significantly contributing to its mission, success, stature, and well-being. Honorees demonstrate a strong loyalty to Latin, exceptional contributions of time and effort, and a personal commitment to the advancement of the school’s mission. The awardee is empowered to direct a one-time gift of $5,000 from the Alumni Endowment to a cause within the Latin community that holds personal significance.
At the Alumni Governing Board
Past President’s lunch this spring, Sally Gray Smith ’82 was the first-ever recipient of the Alumni Service Award. Sally served as the Director of Alumni Relations and Giving for 17 years, and was celebrated for her unwavering dedication and commitment to Charlotte Latin and the alumni community. In honor of her former math teacher, Dr. Collins, she directed her $5,000 gift to the Collins Lower Scholarship Fund.
Distinguished Faculty Chairs
Two Distinguished Faculty Chairs are selected to exemplify leadership, instruction, and mentorship for the entire Latin community. Current Distinguished Faculty Chairs are Mike Weiss and Richard Fletcher ’85. Each Faculty Chair receives a substantial monetary commitment during their tenure.
Alumni giving DOES make a difference.
Alumni Governing Board
The mission of the Alumni Governing Board (AGB) is to advance the values of Charlotte Latin School’s mission statement. This includes strengthening ties with alumni, honoring the school’s faculty, and enriching the broader school community. The AGB includes focus committees that collaborate with the Office of Alumni Relations to identify specific needs and devise corresponding strategies to fulfill them.

“My 17 years at Latin felt more like a way of life than a job for me. As a student and then as a colleague, Dr. Collins was always my chief supporter and my number one volunteer. He modeled what it meant to cherish the relationships built and connections made at Charlotte Latin. Directing my Alumni Service Award gift to his scholarship was an easy decision to honor his mission of providing assistance for our youngest Hawks.”
– Sally Gray Smith ’82
IMPACT of Our Volunteers
The volunteer community at Latin is second to none. Our volunteers go beyond simply giving of their time. They bring infinite enthusiasm, varied experience, and immeasurable creativity. Above all, our volunteers bring their genuine love for Latin and abiding commitment to sustaining the excellent experience our students, faculty, and staff deserve.
You’ll see here some of the many ways in which volunteers impact life at Latin — examples that only touch on the breadth of contributions they make each year. Here’s to the hand-raisers, the time-givers, the community-builders.
Thank you for making Latin home.
Parents’ Council
Charlotte Latin’s Parents’ Council supports the Board of Trustees and Administration by employing the unique talents of our parent community in the areas of communication, fellowship, fundraising, and service.

Thriving is the first word that comes to mind when I think about the arts at Latin. Everyone who steps on campus can see that the arts have a deep impact on the culture of our school. We are a community that embraces creativity — from the amazing open-air sculptures to the incredible student art lining the walls — and celebrates collaboration among students, faculty, administration, and volunteers. I’m so proud of the amazing collaborations, parent group partnerships, and community-forward events LAA championed this year.”

From the Director of Philanthropy
Joanne O’Brien Beam P ’22
When I’m walking across the Charlotte Latin campus and I can steal a few minutes, I like to linger outside a classroom. If I look through a glass window, I can’t hear the subject of a lesson, but I can almost always see a familiar tableau: a teacher passionately explaining a new concept and students whose faces are lighting up with understanding. It happens hundreds of times a day every day at Latin, but I never take a moment of epiphany for granted.
Each one is a daily miracle that represents the values and the promise of Latin: we will never be content with “good enough.” The Latin community is full of people — students, teachers, parents, administrators, staff, alumni — finding ways to go beyond what is expected, making deep connections, excelling at six things at once.
I also see those values manifested in the generosity of our community with both time and money. The Latin Fund is our flagship method for giving to the school — and its robust success is a tribute to Latin’s philanthropic tradition. Through endowments and special campaigns, however, the Latin community donates money to improve life on campus, like the Thies Auditorium renovation. We look forward to the next forty-plus years of student activities in this iconic space. This year, new endowments were established to support the Athletics Department and Strategic Plan initiatives; they ensure that Latin will be able to serve its students and faculty for generations to come.
I know these aren’t just numbers on a spreadsheet: every single donation reflects the bond between a teacher and a student, a family and the school, a young life and a mentor. They don’t just make those daily epiphanies possible — they turn them into realities.
ILLUMINATING Your Commitment to PHILANTHROPY
Celebrating our Philanthropic Leaders
Every year, we invite each member of the Latin community to support our school with a gift that is meaningful to their family. We see many types of philanthropic leadership: the recent graduate who gives back to Latin while kick-starting a new career. The family that makes a significant gift above and beyond tuition. The faculty member who honors the school that invests in them. These are just a few examples of leadership in action; we are incredibly proud and grateful for every single one.
The Latin Society
The Latin Society honors donors who support the Latin Fund with total annual giving of $2,500 or more.

The Schuster Family HAWK CHALLENGE
No matter where you are in your Latin journey, The Schuster Family Hawk Challenge aims to inspire every Hawk to give back to the school that has given us so much.
When the Schuster Family Hawk Challenge launched in 2022, Dan and Mardell Schuster P ’06 ’08 ’10 GP ’35 ’36 hoped to inspire the Latin community to give back to the school that gives us so much.
This year, every new or increased Latin Society gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $150,000.

TO DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT
Our community’s response was so enthusiastic that the Schusters generously returned with an even greater challenge: a $300,000 commitment to match Latin Fund gifts throughout the 2023-24 school year. That money matched new and increased leadership gifts, all True Blue alumni gifts, all gifts from parents of alumni in November and December, gifts from Latin grandparents in conjunction with Grandparents’ Day, and some crucial giving on FLY DAY.
Make your first Latin Society gift of $2,500+ OR Increase the level of your current Latin Society support
The Schusters inspired even greater generosity from other members of the Latin community: parents, alumni, parents of alumni, and grandparents all joined them in giving back in support of Latin’s incredible faculty and staff.
The result? $2,407,520 raised to support the 2023-24 Latin Fund.
True Blue Giving Society
The True Blue Giving Society honors Latin’s most generous and loyal alumni donors. The True Blue Giving Society celebrates and recognizes the philanthropic leadership of our alumni, whose participation empowers Latin’s leadership to plan for our bright future and sets us apart from our peers.

“It’s no secret that I’m all in at Latin. I’m a proud alumnus, teacher, and parent. Supporting the Latin Fund is a great way to show that I believe in what we are doing as a school. I believe that the work we do every day is important, I believe the impact we have on our students is amazing, and I believe the community we have created is special.”

The 2023-24 Gratitude Report is published by Charlotte Latin School’s Office of Philanthropy and Alumni Relations and Marketing and Communications Department to acknowledge gifts made to Charlotte Latin between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024.
