From the Head of School and Board Chair

Dear Latin Community,

“It takes a village.” It’s a common saying that holds true at Latin. Our village includes students, their families, our alumni and their families, teachers, staff, coaches, and people who simply love our school. We’re extraordinarily grateful to have such a strong, intentionally-created community, working together to foster outstanding human beings.

From the very beginning, Latin was founded “...to encourage individual development and civility in our students…” with the additional charge to “...[encourage] them to serve others.” This foundational mindset, paired with our Core Values, provides a framework for living in community with one another. From Moral Courage and Respect for Oneself and Others to the expectation to adhere to Honor Above All cooperation and community is infused in the fiber of our school.

Our village at Latin comes in many forms. Dedicated volunteers and parent organizations are some of the most visible ways we see community participation in action. There are also the spectators at athletics and arts events who cheer on and applaud our Hawks, teachers and staff who coach their students after the regular school day is over, student clubs and affinity groups, alumni reunions and get-togethers, Grandparents’ Day, Veterans Day celebrations, and our many community-wide events that include Touchdown Tailgate, Book Fair, Celebrate Latin, May Day Play Day, and FLY DAY—our annual day of giving.

In this Gratitude Report, read about the many ways Charlotte Latin School is bolstered by our community’s philanthropy. You are a crucial part of our success and the continued legacy of our school. We are grateful for your active participation in our vibrant community. Latin is made better by the combined impact of everyone’s unique contribution, and your investment in Latin ensures we continue to provide a world-class education to our students. Your love of Latin makes our community stronger, sustaining the Latin experience for years to come. Thank you.

Forever grateful,

A Letter from Chief Financial and Operations Officer

Since joining Latin at the beginning of the 2022–23 school year, I am amazed at the generous philanthropic support our community provides to our students, faculty, and staff. I’m grateful you have partnered with us to foster the school’s financial health and ensure a sustainable future.

Our published tuition does not represent the full costs of educating a student at Latin. With tuition revenues accounting for only 83% of our annual operating costs, your philanthropic support factors significantly into establishing Latin’s annual balanced budget. In addition to the immediate impact of the Latin Fund—which is fully utilized the following fiscal year—the investment returns generated by Latin’s endowment make an equally important difference in our ability to enhance programs, provide scholarships, maintain operational needs, offer competitive compensation for our employees, and more.

One of our key strategic plan goals centers on providing Access and Affordability for a diverse student body. Our community’s generosity funded much of the $3.2 million in financial assistance and scholarships that were awarded to deserving students in 2022–23. Our use of financial assistance will only grow in the future to meet this strategic initiative, allowing us to continue to provide an enriching Latin experience to each student.

At the same time, philanthropy helps us in the day-to-day needs of operating our school. As you will see from the many wonderful examples throughout this report, your support directly ties to the outcomes we are able to provide to our students.

Our community’s philanthropic spirit helps improve everything at Latin. Thank you for investing in our school with your trust, time, and generosity.

CONNECTING with NEW CULTURES

A Community of Cooks

A genuine love for food brings people together. What you cook, how you dine, and when you share your favorite recipes can tell a lot about who you are and where you come from. It’s also a wonderful way to connect with people, make new friends, and celebrate community.

This year, Latin’s Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion started Exploring Culture Through Food: A Cookbook Club for current parents. Each gathering spotlights a culture and cookbook. Recipes are assigned, prepared by attending parents, and shared. There’s discussion around the food, the cookbook, and

the culture they are experiencing. Questions like “Why this ingredient?” and “How is it prepared?” stimulate conversation and broaden cultural awareness and understanding.

The first cookbook club gathering centered on Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking by Toni Tipton-Martin. This spring, in a nod to the Lower School’s Global Partners study of Mexico, the cookbook club explored Oaxaca: Home Cooking from the Heart of Mexico. Erica Moore, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Kelly Willis, Director of Global Studies, led the discussion on Mexican home cooking.

A Kaleidoscope of Cultures

This year’s pilot Passport Pals program transported Lower School students around the world from their classrooms. Kelly Willis, Director of Global Studies, along with Lower School DEI Coordinator Avery Teichman, built an age-appropriate curriculum to teach our youngest Hawks about cultural perspectives. They were assisted by Lower School Librarian Nancy Atwell, Lower School Spanish teacher Rachel Wells, and classroom teachers Maggie Shamblin and Laurie Fischer.

Kindergarten and Grade 3 Passport Pals spent the year examining many examples of culture. For instance, they read about different ways people go to sleep, lucky symbols around the world, and how various cultures celebrate holidays. Building on this year’s Global Partners focus on Mexico, third graders taught their Passport Pals in Kindergarten about el Dia de los Muertos and made papel picado, a traditional Mexican paper craft. In another lesson, they created kaleidoscopes, discussed how the lenses change how we see, and then connected it to how our own lenses influence our cultural perspectives.

Passport Pals culminated with a field trip to Super G’s International Market, where students roamed the aisles, discovering foods from around the world. They had to locate and record foods from several countries, including a few finds that made them reflect, “That’s not WEIRD, that’s culture!”

“That’s not WEIRD, that’s culture!”

CONNECTIONS in ATHLETICS and WELLNESS Student–Athletes Connect the Mind and Body

In January, the Booster Club and Mission 34, the nonprofit founded in honor of Sean Bonner ’16, hosted a Student-Athlete Wellness Discussion. Jennifer Fights, Latin parent, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), and National Certified Counselor, gave an impactful presentation about priorities and making room for “the important stuff.” She was joined by distinguished alumni Caleb Jordan ’16 and Ruthie Jones ’19 for a discussion and Q&A centered on student-athlete wellness. The purpose of the event was to share tools with our Middle School and Upper School student-athletes for managing their busy lives “within the margins” to be mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy.

“Latin was fortunate to work with the Bonners to put together an educational event for more than 100 students and coaches. Ruthie and Caleb were so honest and helpful, and they really connected with our students on the importance of mental health.”

A Winning Mindset

It’s only human to remember what we did wrong rather than what we did right. The negative can overshadow the positive. While this thinking can be typical for adults, how does it impact student-athlete performance and well-being?

Powell Paguibitan, Upper School AP Psychology teacher and soccer coach, works with our Hawk athletes with this in mind. “My background is in applied sports psychology, and my role at Latin organically developed into a mental skills coach for our soccer teams,” shares Paguibitan.

What is a mental skills coach?

Just as student-athletes are coached in strategy and tactics, there’s also the mental component to consider. Paguibitan gives the example of the pressure a player feels when they have a penalty kick. It’s a high-pressure moment. How does the athlete handle it? If they don’t make the goal, can they stay in the moment and get right back into the game?

“When mistakes occur, a bad touch or pass, I look at body language and signs of mental chatter. Are they grounded and present? Are they overanalyzing and spiraling? There are definite signs when a player is mentally distracted and distressed,” says Paguibitan. He continues, “My goal is to help our student-athletes deal with performance anxiety and pressure, which aligns with Latin Leads’ Wellness Goal, as well as our school’s emphasis on educating the whole child.”

At the suggestion of Director of Athletics David Gatoux, Paguibitan recently participated in the TrueSport Cohort for Change symposium in Colorado, where they worked to “...establish best practices and solutions to further the mission of creating a more positive youth sport experience rooted in mental and physical wellness.” Reflecting on the experience, Paguibitan says, “It was very beneficial meeting people who are doing similar things and to bounce ideas off of each other. We formed a community of support.” Our community’s support of the Latin Fund helps make unique professional development opportunities like Powell’s experience possible.

What’s next?

Inspired and informed by everything he learned at the symposium, Paguibitan plans to extend and expand this work to other Latin teams, possibly as soon as this school year. “Our goal is to have athletes who are good people, friends, and students. Wellness is holistic, and this is part of Latin’s commitment to comprehensive well-being.”

Engineering CONNECTS our CAMPUS

Investing in Ingenuity

Latin’s Innovation and Design Department’s engineering program is a leader in K–12 STEM education, thanks, in part, to the Latin Fund’s ongoing investment in the Fab Lab. This year, Latin Fund dollars enabled advancements to our computer science program by providing access to a private network, including a dedicated T1 internet line (a high-speed digital communication line) and servers.

The private network is a virtual sandbox, allowing students to learn about networking and cybersecurity in a safe and controlled environment while protecting Latin’s larger technology infrastructure. Under the guidance of our skilled faculty, students practice “White Hat hacking,” which involves ethically identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. This hands-on experience helps students improve overall security and protect against malicious attacks while learning valuable networking skills that will benefit them in the future.

“This investment is part of a long-range plan to expand and enhance our existing computer science program, allowing our students to be technology creators, not just consumers,” says Tom Dubick, Innovation and Design Chair and Fab Lab Director.

Like Son, Like Father: Fab Academy Graduates

When touring Latin for my family, I was impressed with the Fab Lab and Tom Dubick’s passion for this state-of-the-art facility. At that point, I didn’t realize there were adult nights in the Fab Lab on Thursdays. When the first sign-up came out, I was eager to meet other Latin parents and teachers interested in the complexities of digital fabrication—such as 3D printing and laser cutting—in a fun, supportive environment. When COVID hit, I joined the Fab Lab’s effort to create face shields for the greater Charlotte community, an experience that highlighted the Fab Lab’s ability to bring together and empower the Latin community.

It was during this time of intense, real-time learning that I considered enrolling in Fab Academy to gain a more robust foundation in digital fabrication. My son, Adam ’25, was also planning to complete Fab Academy, so this was a natural entry point for me to matriculate. Although I was in the adult group with teachers Zach Budzichowski and Adam Durrett, I observed as the students—my son included—built an impressive toolkit of knowledge around every piece of equipment in the Fab Lab. I experienced a simultaneously humbling and proud moment when I needed to ask Adam for help with an assignment during code week.

2022–23 Gratitude Report 15
The Fab Academy experience is truly representative of the Latin experience. Through dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate leadership and a facility made possible by generous donors, Fab Academy allows the Latin community—students, families, and faculty—to come together to learn and help each other reach their full potential.

OPPORTUNITIES to CONNECT

Parents Tie Us Together

When welcoming a new family to Latin, former trustee Joy Kenefick P ’20 ’20 often says, “I truly believe we are a family, all working together to raise and educate our children, providing the greatest opportunities possible for them.” This belief that we are a dependent, connected network of families is vital to sustaining the thriving community that feels like home for all Hawks.

Latin’s parent community is passionate about setting up students for success and will often go above and beyond in giving their time to ensure children are ready for life after Latin. Whitney D’Allaird P ’17 ’22, executive director of FOR Students, and Heather Bonner P ’14 ’16 ’20, co-founder of Mission 34, have turned personal tragedies into action at Latin. These moms want to empower children to use their voices in times of need, and to find courage and strength in discussing mental health.

Working with the school and several parent volunteers, the D’Allaird and Bonner families have helped bring the conversation of student mental health and wellness to Latin’s forefront:

• More than 150 Upper School students participated in Students for Students in 2022–23, a student-led club that allows students to have tough conversations about the problems they face, gaining insight from other students who have had similar experiences.

• LAUNCH facilitated discussions throughout the year for seniors, which included topics like how to protect their mental well-being,

time-management guardrails, meaningful and healthy relationships, and substance abuse prevention. LAUNCH also hosted a meeting with parents of seniors to prepare for having these discussions at home.

• More than 100 student-athletes attended the Student-Athlete Wellness

Discussion hosted by Mission 34 and Booster Club, which shared tools for students to be mentally, emotionally, and physically healthy within their rigorous schedules and lives.

• For the first time this year, the seniors’ school year culminated with NEXT, a two-day conference to help students discuss and prepare for life after Latin.

16 Charlotte Latin School 2022–23 | Celebrating Your Impact

It was during a parent volunteer coffee that parents hatched the plan to adapt the Upper School mental health and wellness programming to fit our Middle School grades. Last spring, Latin’s first Inside Out Day allowed Middle School students a full day of meaningful programming around facing challenges, reducing stress, mental and physical exercise, and simply celebrating community.

On this inaugural Inside Out Day, FOR Students Program Director Ed Williams wrapped the day in Belk Gym by sharing, “If difficulty is not happening, it is coming. Community is so unbelievably important. Remember who the people are around you today, so you know who to lean on when you need it.”

A Letter from the 2022–23 Latin Fund Chairs Rebekah and Mackenzie Alpert P ’30 ’32

“Last year’s Latin Fund reached new heights. This year, let’s soar even higher.”

This was our charge for the 2022–23 school year. It was a big ask, and in our second year as Latin Fund Chairs, we were energized by the challenge. And that’s because of you.

We knew that we could count on the Latin community to rally around the school’s excellence. We knew that we could ask boldly, and that Hawks in all stages of life would rise to the occasion. We knew that our shared love for Latin would inspire many to give in gratitude to a school that has given us so much.

Thank you for answering the call. Because of your outstanding generosity and commitment to excellence, you raised an incredible $2,353,045 for the 2022–23 Latin Fund.

The Latin Fund plays a vital role in supporting our school’s annual operating budget so every gift, from every donor every year—makes a difference for our students, faculty, and staff. As you will see in this year’s recognition lists, Latin Fund donors represent every possible connection to our school, an amazing demonstration of Latin’s immediate yet lasting impact on every Hawk.

That lasting impact inspired The Schuster Family Hawk Challenge, which launched in the fall. The Latin Fund’s first challenge match asked parents, alumni, grandparents, and parents of alumni to reflect on their own Latin stories and encouraged them to support the school’s future. Read more about the incredible story of the Schusters’ philanthropy on the following page.

As Latin Fund Chairs, it has been a privilege to connect with our community and share the Latin Fund story. We must also thank Ruth (Van Dyke) ’02 and John Wyatt, our Vice-Chairs, and the outstanding Latin Fund volunteers who reached out to friends, neighbors, classmates, and colleagues to encourage them to invest in Latin’s future. Through their many conversations, we’ve been reminded that while every family is unique, we are all connected by a deep appreciation for the many gifts that Latin has given us.

To all who gave back to the Latin Fund, we thank you. Your participation and support ensures that Latin’s excellence will be carried forward for years to come.

The Schuster Family HAWK CHALLENGE

Giving in Gratitude

When Dan and Mardell Schuster enrolled their oldest child at Latin in the early 2000s, they hoped the new environment would set him up for success. What they didn’t expect was how Latin’s faculty and staff would immediately make their whole family feel seen, known, and nurtured.

Now, as proud parents of three Latin alumni and new Latin grandparents, the Schusters chose to give back to Latin by creating The Schuster Family Hawk Challenge. Knowing that the Latin Fund has a direct impact on faculty and staff, the Schusters committed $200,000 to match Latin Fund gifts with the hope of encouraging Hawks of all ages to give back to the school that gives us all so much. The Schuster Family Hawk Challenge inspired support from parents, alumni, parents of alumni, and grandparents, resulting in the Latin Fund soaring beyond its $2,200,000 goal.

FLY DAY 6 LEVELING UP For LATIN

FLY DAY is Latin’s festive and fun annual giving day. Held each May, FLY DAY unites the entire Latin community near and far—parents, alumni, grandparents, parents of alumni, faculty, and staff—to celebrate our school and support the Latin Fund.

FLY DAY 6 shattered records with 1,764 donors raising $339,620 for the 2022–23 Latin Fund.

In the spirit of this year’s video game theme, we offered students an opportunity to relax in a game truck and join in on the community and fun that defines FLY DAY.

New this year: the Parent Participation Challenge awarded a prize to the G.O.A.T in each division. We treated the division winners—TK and Kindergarten, Grade 6, and Grade 9—to one-on-one time with 13 snuggly baby goats.

Projects Capital

The Latin Fund is an essential part of our school’s budget. Tuition covers 83% of the true cost of educating each Latin student, so philanthropic gifts to the Latin Fund help bridge the gap to ensure school leadership can say “yes” to the opportunities, tools, and resources that give students the full Latin experience.

Here are just a few examples of capital expenses that the Latin Fund supported for our students, employees, and campus in the 2022–23 school year:

• Upper School Math and Learning Resources Offices

The Upper School Learning Resources and Math departments switched places on campus and were outfitted to better serve the teachers in their new spaces. The move also provides additional tutoring space for students in the new Learning Resources office.

• Sidewalk to South Campus

Prior to the 2022–23 school year, there was not a sidewalk connecting the Upper School student parking lots to the Howard Levine Athletic Campus. To reduce car traffic and to protect our students, we constructed a sidewalk connecting the junior parking lots to the lots at SwimMAC.

• Fab Lab Storage Building

We constructed a freestanding storage building behind the SAT building for Fab Lab storage. This storage supports safety by keeping hallways and classrooms clear of materials and supports the entrepreneurial spirit of the Fab Lab by giving it room to continue to grow.

• Library Storage Divider Wall

A new divider wall was installed in the Knight-Dickson Library to separate the Lower School space from the Middle and Upper School space, and now provides much-needed storage for the Lower School library team.

• Fennebresque Hall Renovation

Latin’s administrative offices were remodeled to better serve the needs of the Administration team, Human Resources, Business Office, and Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This remodel allows each office to thrive and operate at its fullest potential, better meeting the needs of faculty, staff, and students.

Technology

Technology has become a critical part of the academic landscape. Latin purchased more than 100 Smart TVs to replace outdated projectors in classrooms to further enhance learning and classroom environments.

22 Charlotte Latin School 2022–23 | Latin Fund

What’s the Communi TEA’?

As part of this year’s Fennebresque Hall renovation, space was added for Latin’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Program. This included offices for the DEI Director and Assistant Director, as well as a Community Room, a flex space that students have aptly dubbed the Communi TEA’ Room.

The idea for this space was conceived well in advance of the renovation. The ability to gather in a comfortable environment for planning, collaborating, studying, and grabbing a cup of tea is essential for fostering a sense of belonging and connection for our students.

Every day this school year—rain or shine—students from all backgrounds gravitated to the Communi’TEA’ room. It quickly became a hidden gem on campus, tucked away (but not far from the Head of School’s office, as well as the DEI team) where students were found planning for diversity club meetings, studying for quizzes, writing papers, or playing a good ol’ game of Uno.

Leif Lanzillotta ’24 was commissioned to create a vibrant piece of art, which now hangs above the room’s comfy couch. Students who frequent the space and support the DEI program’s efforts signed this special artwork to highlight their sense of community and inclusion.

In addition to painting sessions, popcorn parties, and video shoots, the DEI Office has hosted a variety of events in its new space for Latin students, parents, faculty, and staff. It is a space where members of our full DEI office—coordinators and divisional DEI committees—can collaborate on the work of diversity, equity, and inclusion to ensure all students are served well.

Needs Operational

Gifts to the Latin Fund

Here are just a few operational examples of how the Latin Fund supported our students, employees, and campus in the 2022–23 school year:

• Financial Aid

A robust Latin Fund helped support an increased financial aid budget, which in turn helps keep Latin accessible to excellent students who will thrive in and strengthen our school community.

• Parent Organizations

The Latin Fund provided the 2022–23 budgets for Latin Arts Association and Booster Club, allowing board members and volunteers to fully focus on supporting Latin’s extraordinary Arts and Athletics programs.

• Gratitude Bonus

An annual Gratitude Bonus, funded by the Latin Fund, recognizes and thanks our excellent faculty and staff each November.

• Professional Development

The Latin Fund supports a healthy Professional Development budget, which ensures that our faculty are at the top of their field and offer the best possible education to our students.

“We are so grateful for our beautiful and functional custom bookshelf and credenza. Visually, it has provided a practical buffer between the lively Lower School library and much-needed quiet study space for our Upper School students. Additionally, it creates an essential office space for the Lower School librarians where we can collaborate and review materials. We’ve never had a dedicated office space, and we love it.”

CELEBRATING our MALONE SCHOLARS

In 1997, Dr. John C. Malone and his family founded The Malone Family Foundation with one initial objective: to improve access to quality education—particularly at the secondary school level—for highly capable students who lack the financial resources to best develop their talents. It was Dr. Malone’s own experience as a recipient of a similar scholarship that inspired his desire to establish this program nationwide. Eight years later, this mission brought him to Charlotte Latin School when it was proudly selected as the sole Malone School for the state of North Carolina following a rigorous review process.

Since the Malone Family Foundation’s initial gift to establish a $2,000,000 scholarship endowment, the impact of their investment in Latin students has been exponential. In addition to funding the Latin educations of 31 incredible scholars beginning in Middle School, the model for the Malone Scholarship has served as a framework for many scholarships established by the Latin community in the years since. Dr. Malone recognizes that the value of an independent school education goes beyond the classroom. Along with covering the cost of tuition, the Malone Scholars Endowment provides support for additional expenses, allowing them to fully experience life at Latin.

With similar programs now established at 50 independent schools across the country—creating a community of mutual support, encouragement, and learning—the Malone Family Foundation will sunset operations this year. As a show of their continued desire to impact students, the Malone Family gifted an additional $500,000 to each school to further fund their endowments.

In a letter shared with each Malone Scholarship recipient, Dr. Malone provides encouragement for future endeavors: “We want to enable you to reach your potential. We want you to enjoy learning among a peer group who shares your thirst for knowledge and your enthusiasm for intellectual conversation. We want you to thrive in an environment where it’s not only okay to be smart, but encouraged!”

26 Charlotte Latin School 2022–23 | Impact of Endowment
Charlotte Latin School is proud to be a steward of the Malone Family’s vision and is grateful for the lasting impact of their generosity on Malone Scholars and the entire Latin community. Dr. John Malone and The Malone Foundation have funded the education of 31 Malone Scholars at Latin.

“While the academics and extracurriculars at Latin have taught me everything I need to be successful in my next stage of life, what I value most is the community. I have formed very strong relationships with classmates and teachers, and the values promoted and upheld by everyone at the school have helped shape me into who I am today. The opportunity to grow in an environment where everyone cares about one another and will do anything to aid the pursuits of others has been the most beneficial aspect of my time at Latin.”

CELEBRATING one CHARLOTTE LATIN COMMUNITY

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 and wisdom. Above all, our volunteers bring their genuine love for Latin and abiding commitment to providing the excellent

experience our students, faculty, and staff deserve. You’ll see here some of the many ways volunteers impact life at Latin—examples that only touch on the breadth of contributions our volunteers make each year. Here’s to the hand-raisers, the time-givers, the community-builders.

Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is composed of volunteers drawn from the school’s constituent groups, which together determine the policies that govern the school, and whose primary focus is supporting Latin’s Mission to ensure future success for generations to come. The Board oversees the school’s strategic planning process and has fiduciary responsibility for the annual budget. The Board looks at the big picture—not daily activities—reviewing policy and budget for the upcoming years, and are updated at meetings by key administrators in areas that make Latin a success. In short, the Board of Trustees is always focused on Charlotte Latin’s future.

“Following many months of work by faculty, parents, alumni, and students, the Board enthusiastically approved our new strategic plan. Latin Leads lays out a clear direction for developing tomorrow’s Charlotte Latin student-leaders, and we are excited to see each pillar of the plan take shape in the coming years.”

Latin Fund Volunteers

The Latin Fund is our school’s top fundraising priority, allowing the administration to invest in both forward-facing and less tangible needs for our school. Each year, Latin Fund volunteers work tirelessly to ensure we surpass the fundraising goal, and this year was no different.

• Welcomed and stewarded 133 new families to our school community with a phone call, note, or visit from a volunteer.

Celebrating our ALUMNI COMMUNITY

Small but MIGHTY Alumni Giving Committee

We admit: each year, the Giving Committee is not necessarily the most sought-after committee to join for Alumni Governing Board (AGB) members.

Fundraising volunteers can be hard to find, but committee chairs Talia Caligiuri Fann ’98 and James McLelland ’17, along with Claire Litaker Patterson ’08, Elizabeth Beecy ’14, and Santosh Rao ’94, were not deterred by the task. Rather, they rose to the challenge and laid the groundwork for a strong alumni Latin Fund performance with a commitment to:

• Celebrating our inaugural True Blue donors, while actively soliciting new donors for our leadership society.

• Reengaging class agents, empowering and equipping them with appropriate and ample resources for FLY DAY fundraising.

• Bringing together a group of 35 volunteers, including alumni and current and retired faculty, to come to campus on FLY DAY for what we call FLY NIGHT—a dinner and spirited class-byclass fundraising competition.

The foundation they built not only resulted in a record-breaking year for alumni participation in the Latin Fund, but it also reinvigorated alumni volunteers who reminded their fellow alumni why it’s important to give back.

From the Director of Philanthropy

I love hearing people’s favorite Latin stories. From our newest families to our current students and most seasoned alumni, everyone has a unique and interesting story to share. Often, these stories are about a teacher who impacted their lives for the better. The tales never get old, and I never tire of listening to them.

One of my favorite times at Latin is Grandparents’ Day. In recent years, we’ve hosted a coffee before the main event for parents of alumni who are now, and in some cases, newly, Latin grandparents. The threads of early memories of their children performing carry through, one generation later, as their grandchildren take the stage. Their stories remind me that the school we love and the moments we create together connect us all.

The importance of this connection is lifelong. My son, Ryan, graduated from Latin in May 2022. As our family navigated the transition to “Latin Alumni,” the relationships we built at Latin sustained us. My standing dinner date with fellow Hawk alumni moms helped me adjust to an empty nest. Ryan relied on the many lessons learned and friendships gained during his time at Latin—from Kindergarten to Commencement—to navigate his first year away at college.

The strength of our community makes Latin a special place. And as I see every day, your philanthropy helps keep it so. The incredible generosity of our donors, who support the school in so many ways, sustains a Latin experience with which we can all engage. It evolves beyond connection, transforming into true community fellowship spanning Latin’s history.

Thank you for staying connected to Latin, and for choosing to give back to our school. Through your philanthropy, volunteerism, and engagement, you make excellence possible for our students and faculty, inspiring new favorite memories every day.

46 Charlotte Latin School 2022–23 | Celebrating What’s to Come

Latin Leads Strategic Plan

We are grateful for the Latin community’s extensive participation in developing the school’s five-year strategic plan: Latin Leads. This framework is guided by our vision to develop courageous, honorable leaders who are fueled by intellectual curiosity, who value moral courage, who are guided by a commitment to excellence, and who can navigate and thrive in a complex global society. Our community’s generosity has supported the early work of this plan and will continue to be critical to achieving each of the five goals. Thank you for investing in the future of Charlotte Latin.

The Latin Leader

Teaching & Learning

Building on our belief that every student can lead, we will leverage our signature leadership programs to develop the leadership potential in every student in a curricular thread that begins in Transitional Kindergarten and continues through Grade 12

Latin will promote a teaching and learning culture of intellectual curiosity that centers on student choice and voice, develops future-ready competencies, and connects learning to the real world.

Community Wellness

Guided by our commitment to whole-child education, Latin will develop a comprehensive plan to address wellness and to empower students and employees with the tools and resources they need to thrive.

A Community of Purpose & Belonging

Latin will foster an environment where each community member finds a sense of purpose and belonging.

Access & Affordability

Latin will work towards eliminating the barriers to accessing a full Charlotte Latin experience for prospective and current families.

Latin is an extraordinary place to learn and work . While we must continue to evolve as an institution to meet the ever-changing needs of our students, the school’s Mission and Core Values remain central to our identity, planning, and actions. Knowing that future graduates will emerge into a significantly different world relative to the experiences of our alumni, we are guided by our beliefs about both the current moment and the future of teaching and learning.

2022–23 Gratitude Report 47

A Commitment to PHILANTHROPY

Celebrating our Philanthropic Leaders

Each year, we invite the Latin community to support our school with a gift that is meaningful to their family.

Philanthropic leadership is exemplified in the young alum choosing to give back to Latin while managing a new career. It’s demonstrated in the family making a significant gift above and beyond tuition. We see it in the faculty member choosing to give back to the school that invests in them each year. These are just a few examples of leadership in action, and we are incredibly proud and grateful.

As our parents of alumni turn into grandparents in our Latin community, it’s a fun tradition to connect over coffee, nibbles, and conversation before the Grandparents’ Day performance. This year, Dick Kane and Trustee Don Gately were able to visit with Libbie and Laurens Willard before watching their grandchildren star in “Latin’s Got Talent.”

Giving in Gratitude

A SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR LATIN’S SUPERSTARS

To Elissa and Joe Vona, education is the most important gift one can give to prepare the next generation to address future challenges. Their family’s love of Latin is rooted in the school’s commitment to helping students develop rigorous critical thinking and leadership skills.

Latin’s teachers—the “superstars”—have made the biggest impact on their family, helping Sophia ’22 and Tori ’24 to become lifelong seekers of knowledge and philosophers.

These qualities inspire Sophia and Tori to pursue their passions while giving back. Sophia, a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has been actively involved in HIV research since moving to college. Tori has helped to establish two clubs at Latin: CLS Academic Buddies, a student tutoring program, and the CLS Research Club. Both daughters are already contributing to their generation’s impact.

2022–23 Gratitude Report 57
“Our giving is a special thank you to the wonderful teachers at Latin who tirelessly teach these important lessons. It is our way of saying that we see you, and we value you, and we support you.”

“Through the Inlustrate Orbem awards, it is clear alumni value Latin and what Latin gives to the community and its students. They are willing to invest in teachers and students they maybe don’t know because they know how special Latin is. They’re investing—maybe even on faith—in the fact that the Core Values of Latin live on. I hope our current students will view it similarly and continue to give in the future.”

A Legacy of Giving

Bob Knight, Jr., pictured with Head of Upper School Lawrence Wall and Head of School Chuck Baldecchi, was a pillar of the Latin community since its first days. With his wife, Betsy, and fellow Founders, he helped build an unshakable foundation for the school. He provided prudent fiscal leadership as the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees for many years, and was an active member of the Board of Visitors. Most importantly, he was a proud Latin parent to John Knight ’74 and Ruth (Knight) Gammon ’77 and grandfather to Sydnor Gammon ’07 and Betsy Gammon ’10.

Mr. Knight helped the school navigate an incredible amount of growth over more than sixty years. Extending this remarkable legacy, he named Latin as a beneficiary of his estate, supporting the McIntosh Leadership Center and the future of Latin’s signature leadership programming. Many friends and family honored Mr. Knight’s memory through a gift to the same. This support sustains the educational experience for every Latin student and emerging leader, and a community to which Bob remained committed throughout his life.
