The mission of Head‑Royce School is

to inspire in our students a lifelong love of learning and pursuit of academic excellence, to promote understanding of and respect for diversity that makes our society strong, and to encourage active and responsible global citizenship.

Founded in 1887, Head‑Royce is an independent, non-denominational, coeducational, college-preparatory, k–12 school, which offers a challenging educational program to educate the whole child. The School nurtures the development of each individual student through a program that seeks: · to develop intellectual abilities such as scholarship and disciplined, critical thinking; · to foster in each student respect, integrity, ethical behavior, compassion and a sense of humor; · to promote responsibility and leadership, an appreciation of individual and cultural differences, and a respect for the opinions of others; · to nurture aesthetic abilities such as creativity, imagination, musical and visual talent; and · to encourage joyful, healthy living, a love of nature, and physical fitness.

All members of the Head‑Royce community strive to create an educational environment that reflects the school’s core values of academic excellence, diversity and citizenship, one in which each student can thrive. We believe that a program based on these core values will prepare our students to be effective global citizens as they face and embrace the challenges and the opportunities of the future.

HRS at 125: Celebrating the Past, Imagining the Future History and tradition. Change and innovation. Taking stock and reflecting. Education, by its very nature, must simultaneously hold up each of these ideals and concepts. Because Head-Royce has always been committed to advocating the whole child, we look beyond the present to find meaning for our students. Therefore, in this, our 125th year, we have spent the fall looking back at our school’s history. We have encouraged our students and faculty to reflect upon where we have been as an institution and the people who have shaped this history. A tangible artifact that depicts our past is the beautiful 16-foot-long visual history map displayed outside of the MEW Auditorium and on our website at headroyce.org/125th. Anna Head, our school’s founder, was a visionary, forward-thinking educator who set the foundation for the success and reputation that Head-Royce enjoys today. She created a school culture that has stood the test of time. The teachers who have been shaping the lives of our students for more than a century have been diverse in their backgrounds, creative in their pedagogies, and unique in their perspectives. Yet, despite their rich and different outlooks, they have been unified by one thread: they have all been committed to our mission and to imbuing in our students the values of scholarship, diversity, and citizenship. These values continue to inform all that is Head-Royce — a school deeply rooted in both tradition and 21st century purpose.

Thank you for your devotion and steadfast commitment to Head-Royce.

This year’s annual report is a testament to the confidence and generosity of our parents, trustees, alumni, faculty, grandparents, and friends who come together each year to support our school in ways that are so very important. We are thrilled to report that we had our 2nd consecutive record-breaking annual fund. Together we raised $1,239,000 — a 7% increase over the previous year, and a new milestone for Head-Royce. So, as we celebrate our 125th anniversary, let us continue to reflect and be thankful for all that makes Head-Royce the inspirational learning community that it is. We have a rich history of success, and an even more promising future ahead. This year presents a unique opportunity to share the school’s historic milestones, accomplishments and many innovative firsts since its founding in 1887. We thank you for your support and invite you join us as we celebrate our past and imagine the future of this wonderful institution.

One other consistent thread that has been woven through our history and connected generations of students is the powerful support of our community. In addition to entrusting the education of their children to us, parents devote countless hours and creativity through volunteering and supporting Head-Royce with their time and talents. Trustees bring expertise and strategic thinking in their roles as the fiduciary stewards of the school. All of our community members add depth and character to our school and allow it to be the exceptional place that it is.

Developing

Global Citizens building character and inspiring leadership One of the three core tenets of the Head-Royce mission is Citizenship. That word can have many meanings, and as

Head of School Rob Lake explains, “We define citizenship broadly here at Head-Royce. To be a productive member of our society and indeed, to live a life of meaning, one must understand and embrace your responsibility to the people and things outside of yourself.”

In the Lower School, citizenship means learning to be a responsible community member. Debra Carr, first grade teacher and Lower School Service Learning coordinator, explains, “Our goal is to inspire our children to become future leaders whose desire is to make our community a better place. We want to teach our students how to make an impact, how to move through the world from a place of confidence, power, respect and gentleness. We want our students to understand that living a balanced, successful life means helping to shape another person’s experience in some deep way whether that is within our

Service Learning programs in the Lower School serve to help develop an intrinsic motivation within students so that they can learn to be responsible citizens who care about others and want to make a difference in the world. Debra explains further, “We explicitly teach our students how to be leaders from a very young age. We help them to understand their own gifts and challenges so that they can fully understand what they can offer to others.” Lower School students also are taught about diversity and appreciation of others beginning in Kindergarten as

The Lower School servicelearning program and curricular tie-ins directly teach citizenship to Head-Royce students. The division works together to support missions of hunger and homelessness throughout the year. Students work on curricular themes in age appropriate ways then come together to make a difference for the lives of so many locally (working with the Alameda County Food Bank and BOSS) and globally (working with UNICEF).

part of the character education component of the curriculum. Debra notes that, “We are seeing that through the teaching of various perspectives the students are gaining not just an awareness but an appreciation for others that leaves them open to diverse viewpoints and sends a clear message of celebrating and appreciating differences.”

Middle School: Looking Beyond Campus In the Middle School, citizenship education keeps pace with the social and emotional development of students in that age group. In this division, citizenship can be defined as the way in which students treat themselves and others. Students begin to explore how they relate to the Head-Royce community as well as the broader community outside of the school.

Citizenship is an important structural learning piece Willie Adams, Dean of Student Life in Middle School for children in Lower School and Head-Royce partners with its families to help make the community the kind of explains, “Middle School is the time when you begin place where leaders are formed, supported and inspired. to understand that with rights and privileges, comes Debra adds, “I truly believe that our students look at the responsibilities and obligations to make society better. Towards the end of Middle School, students start to world through a different lens. I believe they approach learning with a more open mind and strong desire to use think about how they can apply what they are learning in the classroom to real world problems and issues.” their learning to make an impact in the greater community.

Willie notes that through these Service Learning programs, “Head-Royce students are able to show the greater community what the heart and soul of Head-Royce is all about: what kind of people our students are and what kind of skills and talents they can offer to the world.” Service Learning in Middle School includes four days out of the year where each grade level studies a specific community issue and then goes out in the community to

work on that issue. In 6th grade, students study healthy, sustainable living and food production: students visit a local farm, work in the school garden, and visit the Alameda County food bank. They examine food issues from the ground to the shopping cart, and see first hand that there are people in our community who can’t afford food. Seventh and eighth graders work with local organizations on environmental issues. [See sidebar for more details on their projects.] In addition to their Service Learning projects, Middle School students discuss citizenship in their Life Skills

Alumni Perspective

Fostering Understanding and Empathy There are many intentional experiences at Head-Royce that allowed citizenship to flourish in the community. Community service opportunities (for example, I worked for 4 years at Bananas child care facility in Oakland), school diversity clubs (such as Kaleidoscope and the Gay-Straight Alliance), and out of country experiences (I traveled to Italy with then college counselor Sharon Cravanas over spring break) shape a global perspective that fosters understanding of and empathy for others. Most important for me, however, was the academic curriculum, itself. Through every class, I was asked to think critically, challenged on my perspectives, and engaged in dialogue with so many other thoughtful people of different backgrounds than myself. As an educator now, I see this conscious choice in a clearer light — while there are right and wrong answers when it comes to exams, the greatest force for good comes in asking students to think critically about the world around them. For me, it was this strategic way of examining larger issues in the world that led me to the path of Teach For America and working to allow New York City public school students to access and enjoy Broadway theater. Head-Royce’s framework of understanding, acceptance, and critical thinking are the tools I find most valuable as a global citizen. trenton price ’03 · middle school english teacher, kipp: star school

Last year, 8th graders completed their Service Learning by working on an art project at Encompass School in Oakland. They served as mentors to the 2nd grade students, and created art using recycled items. As part of the project, they helped the students start a recycling program at their school, and gave presentations to students and parents in both English and Spanish so that all families could understand the value of recycling and be involved in the program.

classes and in advising and student government, further broadening their understanding of what it means to be a good citizen. Willie Adams notes that, “By Middle School, students should begin to see all three pillars of our mission as equal in importance. In particular, citizenship becomes an increasingly important part of their development.”

Upper School: A Global Perspective In the Upper School, citizenship in the curriculum further evolves as students look beyond our local community and begin to see themselves as citizens of the world. Barry Barankin, Upper School Dean of Students, explains, “Citizenship in the Upper School means treating other people well: being accepting of others, of different interests and of different ways of being.”

in meaningful, diverse ways. Of equal importance in our definition of citizenship is our shared responsibility to the natural world. We try to instill in our students an ethos that says: it is my responsibility to be a steward of the natural world.” Naoko Akiyama, Dean of Community Life, further explains, “It’s important for students to realize how they are connected to other people in their communities — whether within our campus community, in

Head-Royce School ··· Magazine Winter 2012

Incorporated in the Upper School curriculum is a focus on leadership in addition to Service Learning. Barry notes that when he first started at Head-Royce, the school was singularly focused on scholarship. With the arrival of Head of School Paul Chapman in the early ’80s, that began to change.

“We have a long-term approach and take very seriously the idea of whole child education. This philosophy shapes how we incorporate citizenship into the curriculum.” The citizenship program has helped foster gratitude in students as they work to give back to the community. Barry says that the school doesn’t just give lip service to citizenship, but that the faculty and administration really do “care more about what kind of people we are helping to shape rather than just honoring students who achieve academically.” Head of School Rob Lake agrees, “As young people are growing, maturing and forming their personalities, this is a profoundly important lesson for them to internalize. We expect our students and graduates to care deeply about others, to live lives that are ethical, and to lead Sixth grader at a local farm for Service Learning

Developing Global Citizens Oakland or abroad — and how they can be leaders to bring about positive change within any community. There are many opportunities for Upper School students to develop an understanding for what it means to be a citizen of a community.” In Upper School, a number of classes provide that opportunity to develop a connection with their community. For example, a senior elective class, “Ethics,” includes a section on sustainability, connecting personal ethics to planetary resource issues. Another senior elective, Race Relations, focuses on equality in America today, providing students with a platform to discuss and explore complex issues, and a Global Citizenship Certificate class incorporates global education and individual research on relevant global issues. Barry

Barankin notes that “We work closely with students in Upper School on developing leadership characteristics,” incorporating programs and opportunities that will teach these young adults to become leaders. There are 13 student clubs in the Upper School that are devoted to Diversity and Service, including ones called “A Million Thanks” and “Art for Autism.” Rob Lake explains the school’s holistic approach: “We teach citizenship through our curriculum. We model citizenship through our relationships. We give students the opportunity to live our mission through a robust variety of age appropriate extra curricular activities centered around Service Learning.” All of these components help ensure that students gain a solid understanding of the value and impact they have as citizens of our society.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Alumni Perspective

Through student government at Head-Royce, I learned that identifying community challenges — complaining — is just the knock on the door for civic engagement. The door opens when people in power respond by saying, “Okay, what are you willing to do to work with us on that?” I heard that many times at Head-Royce, from teachers and administrators like Jayme Estill, Stevie Kaplan, Cathy Hunter, Carl Thiermann, Sharon Cravanas, and more. I was a pretty obnoxious door-knocker back then, and I’m grateful to all of them for opening the door anyway. I’m currently in graduate school at Mills College in the new joint MBA/Educational Leadership MA, focusing on how building ethical, sustainable programs for career preparation and workforce development lead to better civic engagement, more open doors, and a healthier community for all of us. jake wasserman ’97

Classroom Drawing on Our Discipline to Build a Modern Civil Society

I asked my colleagues to share what sustained their enthusiasm for working with adolescents in the classroom. Overwhelmingly, the answers centered on the call to use curriculum as a method to inspire global citizenship among our students. As I watch what happens in the student centered laboratories that serve as history classrooms, I see teachers drawing on the past to challenge students to explore the fixed and malleable aspects of human nature; constantly encouraging young people to accrue knowledge for the sake of informed citizenry, working to build a more just society by steering clear of the foibles of the past.

The 21st Century History Classroom

As a 6–12 department, our classrooms span from learning space dedicated to eleven year olds to high school seniors on the cusp of fully participating in our republic. In all of these laboratories, teachers blend a passion for history with lessons that show students that our discipline is a powerful tool in assessing the modern world’s challenges.

Following the second presidential debate, I visited the 7th grade class of Justin Baker Rhett, our teaching fellow, where he lead a discussion on important American case law and the issues present in the second presidential debate. Students offered meaningful analysis on what the vigorous discussion between Governor Romney and President Obama augurs for the country. Oona Julian observed that Governor Romney’s constant “interruptions” of the President showed a lack of respect for the office of the presidency. On the other hand, Belinda Tucker observed that neither candidate showed their true feelings, but that they “beamed” a great deal, raising questions about the effectiveness of the debate format in resolving public policy differences. As the class shifted to Wallace v. Jaffe, a 1985 Supreme Court case that helps to inform our views on prayer in school, it was clear to me that the students could see recurring themes about moralism and government in both the Jaffe case and their previous review of the debate. As I listened to this discussion, I couldn’t help but think of the rich reflections in my own classes, Honors and Advanced Placement American History, where, earlier that day, students discussed whether there were themes of Puritanism in the political philosophies of the two major candidates.

These questions about our role in a democratic republic come up constantly in our work with young people: Paul Scott, who instructs juniors in Western Civilization, uses the The Mytilenian Debate, Thucydides’ exploration of the challenges and triumphs of democracy, to help students focus on this question. “It’s amazingly contemporary,” Paul suggests. “It leads students to really challenge themselves to look at the nature of punishment and deterrence in a society.” For most of our students, the use of history as a launching pad for analyzing modern public policy questions commences in 6th grade. There, students apply the Code of Hammurabi to the 21st century

and craft their own version of these Babylonian rules, informed by their life experiences as adolescents. Middle School Head Linda Hoopes, who worked to create this student centered project when she taught 6th grade, suggests that the lesson is an “excellent way to get at modern issues, where students truly reflect on the nature of justice, such as the morality of the death penalty.” The sixth graders blend their expertise in Babylonian justice with their literary journey through Witness, the story of the Ku Klux Klan in 1920s New England and the meaningful friendship between two girls, one Jewish and the other African-American. For well over a decade, I have helped coach these students through their use of the book, as I share with them the historical and modern story of Oakland; a city fraught with violence and poverty in modern day, that in the 1920s was one of the Klan’s strongest bastions on the west coast. We use my AfricanAmerican memorabilia for this discussion; many of my pieces were part of the critically acclaimed “Ethnic Notions” collection, so named in an essay by novelist Alice Walker. Watching these students reflect on justice, while quite literally holding pieces of racism in their hands, is a rewarding lesson for me; I always learn from their keen observations and I am humbled that for them, there are not restrictions between the past and present. Puritans, Plato, Hammurabi, the presidential campaign, the death penalty or race in U.S. society — they are all necessary and compelling ingredients in the deliberate development of an informed public citizen, which, according to Associate Justice Louis Brandeis, is the most important public office in our nation. Peter Reinke has been teaching history at Head-Royce since 1996.

The early 1980s were a time of significant change for HeadRoyce School. In 1980 the school went through a Western

Association of Schools and Colleges (wasc) assessment that provided recommendations to increase the school’s ethnic diversity. Concurrently, the school was transitioning leadership and in the process of finding a new Head of School. Given the directive from wasc, the Head-Royce hiring committee was looking for candidates who could address the school’s diversity efforts in an innovative and sustainable way.

Year Heads Up started

100K Amount of start up grant from Irvine Foundation that started the Heads Up program

10 Public schools included in the first year of the program

The new Head of School selected was Paul Chapman, and in addition to focusing on enhancing the HeadRoyce experience for its students, he had a vision of starting a program to prepare motivated Middle School students who had been underserved to thrive in academically challenging high schools and colleges. Using the successful Summer Bridge Program as a model, he secured a start up grant from the Irvine Foundation of $100,000 to start a similar program at Head-Royce. In 1986, a pilot program began by providing scholarships to five students to attend the already established Summer Middle School Program at the school. The pilot met all of its goals and proved the model could work at Head-Royce. Faculty member Barbara Gee had a strong desire to reach out and serve public school students, so she stepped up and agreed to be the program leader. Officially launched in 1987 and eager to distinguish itself from similar programs, Heads Up worked in partnership with Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) to target low-income students of color who attended its schools. The goal was to increase Head-Royce’s contribution to the greater Oakland community but also provide an overall boost to OUSD by preparing students in their

formative Middle School years so that they could return them back to OUSD High Schools as role models and leaders. Barbara Gee reached out to collaborate with HRS Alumnae Denise Saddler ’71 and Sue Woehrle ’56 to establish the OUSD partnership that would prove instrumental in the program’s long-term success.

That first full year of Heads Up brought in 30 seventh grade students from 10 OUSD schools.

In addition to the summer experience, the students were asked to return to

Head-Royce once a month throughout the year to reconnect with faculty and reinforce the skills they gained throughout the summer. The program was a huge success, growing steadily over the next few years to serve 30, 60 and eventually 90 students annually. In the mid 90s, Heads Up added a teaching intern to provide classroom experience to aspiring young educators and in recent years it has added a tutoring program to further enhance the experience of the students. The tutoring program connects Heads Up students with current Head-Royce High School students and faculty once a week during the academic year. The High School students serve as mentors and work with the Heads Up Middle School students to play sports and board games and have discussions about important issues that arise in middle school. These relationships help students build a broader network of support for themselves that enhances their personal and academic development. Over the years, Heads Up has prospered under the direction of Barbara Gee and her successors. Today, Heads Up serves over 100 students annually and has supported over 1,000 students throughout its 25-year history.

Students like Heads Up alum Quyen Vo ’03 found the experience instrumental in their education: “The program’s amazing faculty not only provided a pillar of stability in my life during those challenging Middle School years, but also helped open doors for me and set me on a path where I could pursue interests and adventures.” Quyen used the tools provided him in Heads Up to seize opportunities and interests. He graduated from Yale and later received a Ph.D. in history from University of Cambridge. He is currently a J.D. candidate at UC Berkeley Boalt School of Law.

Basketball courts, swimming pools, tennis courts, vending machines, crazy artwork hanging from everywhere, small classes with state-of-the-art technology. I remember wondering, was there really a place for me in all of it?

As part of the faculty’s on-going work this year on Technology, Creativity and Innovation, k–12 teachers are changing the age-old paradigm of the teacher as the center of instruction. Instead they are flipping their classrooms, using iPads and digital portfolios and asking students to approach learning through experiential activities in order to promote creativity, deepen learning and utilize higher order thinking skills.

Innovation is in the air this fall!

Promoting Excellence through Innovation Here are a few highlights:

iPads Enhance Reading Instruction in Kindergarten

Creating a Comic Strip on Cell Design in Middle School

Flipping the Classroom in Upper School

Even the youngest students are benefitting from using technology in the classroom. In kindergarten, Kathy Weekes uses iPads to deepen reading instruction through the Story Kit application on the iPad. Weekes uses the iPad to add depth and differentiaion to the language arts program: “An example of this is when we begin the year by building community through shared experiences. I first do a read aloud of the story, Rocket Learns to Read and then I read the story again by mirroring the book on my iPad through Apple TV. After I have finished individual reading assessments, I can easily direct the students during independent reading time to select the “read to self” feature or the “read aloud” feature. This simple addition of technology allows the students to have a common reading experience with the selected story but with differentiation insures that each student is challenged and engaged.”

Middle School science teachers Brian Barish and Ryan Garrity are passionate about the hands on and creative use of the iPads in 7th grade science. The duo recently asked students to create a comic strip on the design of a cell on an app called “Strip Design.” According to Barish, “7th grade science students will master cell structure and function by creating a dynamic comic strip that takes the reader through the fast-paced and rich environment of a plant or animal cell. Choosing characters to represent various cell organelles, students will showcase the dynamic inner workings and complex mechanisms of cellular respiration, protein synthesis and energy production through a digital storyboard. This project will inspire creativity and humor, while at the same time help students truly understand and appreciate the foundation of microbiology and how all living things operate.” Garrity believes, “This kind of interaction allows students to visualize learning, to be more creative and to interact with apps that get right to the heart of the topic we are learning about.”

Should you be concerned when your child comes home from school and tells you that her teacher has flipped the classroom? The flipped classroom, requires that students watch a short instructional video or learn key concepts at home, and then — in class — spend the majority of their time practicing problems, discussing questions with the teacher and applying learning.

Crystal Land has been a member of the Head-Royce faculty since 1989.

And, that ultimately is what the faculty’s intense focus on innovation, creativity and technology will yield — improved pedagogy and enhanced learning for all of our students.

Chris Davies, an experienced Upper School math teacher, is passionate about the concept of a flipped classroom. After years of teaching via traditional methods, he believes that the flipped model in his AP Statistics class leads to “a more satisfying experience for students — they are more stimulated and end up learning more.” Each night students watch between one and three five-minute instructional videos created by Davies and then, during class, work in groups, practice problems and get individualized help. Those students who need extra help can work with the teacher and in small groups to better understand the material; those students who are ready to progress, can soar ahead with challenge problems. As Math Department Chair, Shahana Sarkar explains: “My classroom is not just about delivering content, it is figuring out, as one of the pioneers of the Flipped Classroom said, ‘what is the best use of my face.’ This has forced me to examine good pedagogy.”

a conversation with andy rabens ’01

Head-Royce alumnus Andy Rabens ’01 is working as the Special Advisor for Youth Engagement at the U.S. State Department in the Bureau of Near East Affairs (Middle East and North Africa). We sat down recently with Andy to talk about the good work he is doing around the globe.

Head-Royce School ··· Magazine Winter 2012

HRS: Could you tell our readers what you do?

Andy: My work focuses on programs, policies, initiatives, and coordinating efforts to enhance the U.S. Government’s ability to connect to and build relationships with young leaders abroad (16–35 year old age range) as a means to tackle key foreign policy priorities. I assist Embassies and Consulates in putting together youth engagement strategies and building out their youth networks; I travel to the Middle East and North Africa to engage with young leaders directly and also meet with them while they’re on exchanges or programs in the United States; and I help organize international and domestic efforts to bring young leaders together around common challenges. It’s an exciting time to be focusing on youth engagement in the Middle East and North Africa and I feel very fortunate to get the chance to work with inspiring young leaders from around the globe on behalf of the American people.

Andy: I came to the State Department in 2008 through the Presidential Management Fellows program (a twoyear post graduate-school civil servant entry program) after completing my Master’s degree in International Relations at the London School of Economics. I have been at the State Department now for just over four years. During this time, I have focused heavily on foreign youth engagement: first in the Office of the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs working on global youth engagement; then in the Bureau of African Affairs on Sub-Saharan African youth engagement; and now in the Bureau of Near East Affairs focusing on the Middle East and North Africa. I’ve also done short stints abroad at the U.S. Embassies in Amman, Jordan; Cairo, Egypt; Gaborone, Botswana; Tbilisi, Georgia; and the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem. I’ve been fascinated by the ways in which engaging with and positively empowering youth (both internationally and domestically) is inextricably tied to American national security and prosperity. And I’ve been struck by the shared desires, goals, and aspirations of youth from around the globe. Prior to joining the State Department, I worked for Senator Dianne Feinstein in Washington, D.C. and for the Rt. Honorable Ed Miliband in the UK Parliament.

HRS: Where did you go to college and what did you study? Andy: I went to Harvard University and majored in Government. The tragic events of 9/11 happened three days into my first week of freshman year while I was on campus early playing tennis with the Men’s Varsity Tennis Team. That day had a profound effect on me and further ignited a dormant desire to better understand the globalized world that we live in: the similarities,

differences, ambitions, aspirations, and dreams of people around the globe, both domestically and internationally. It ultimately helped change my trajectory from someone intent on becoming a professional tennis player to someone intent on entering into the global political environment. Head-Royce had peaked that interest in politics but 9/11, coupled with the exposure to exciting government classes and internships, gave me the political and international relations bug.

HRS: How did Head-Royce help prepare you for your professional path? Andy: Head-Royce planted those seeds of curiosity about the larger world that we live in and fostered that sense of duty and active citizenship to your community and country. Through classes, assemblies, field trips, sports, community service, and discussions amongst friends, I remember high school being a very exploratory period where we were figuring out ourselves while also trying to understand the increasingly globalized world that we were living in. Head-Royce and many of the teachers and coaches there played a pivotal role in furthering intellectual, emotional, and physical growth.

HRS: Were there particular teachers whom you recall having an influence on you? Andy: A number of Head-Royce teachers and coaches have had a lasting impact on me (Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. Howard, Rick Zappa, Coach Welsh, Coach Talps, Bob Manalo, Mr. Thiermann, and Mr. Enelow, just to name a few). Mr. Reinke certainly stands out as one of the most influential. His AP U.S. History class was one of my first exposures to the power of political speech, voice, and thought to shape society. And his Race Relations senior elective was a chance to further explore the forceful power of politics and social activism to create positive change. I’ve been lucky to have had a chance to stay in touch with Mr. Reinke over the years (in addition to a number of other HRS teachers/coaches)

Andy Rabens ’01 with HRS History Department Chair Peter Reinke

and have even had the chance to speak to Mr. Reinke’s 10th grade students about U.S. foreign policy and politics.

HRS: What do you remember from your history courses — either at HRS or college — and how is that knowledge helping you today? Andy: History courses at HRS and in college had a profound impact on me. And a firm understanding of history and historical narratives is incredibly important in my work at the State Department today as it often frames and determines how one approaches particular issues. Take the Middle East Peace Process for example, and you’re faced with two competing historical narratives about the root causes of today’s challenges. And understanding, acknowledging, and unlocking the history and historical narratives on both sides is incredibly important in being able to move forward and in trying to create a more positive historical narrative for the future. History helps us to understand the “world as it is,” but people, working collaboratively, need to write the next chapter of history and create the “World as it could be.”

chris gorud ’07 Five years ago, Chris Gorud ’07 was walking across the Head-Royce gymnasium floor to receive his high school diploma. Today, you can find him on the floor of the House of Representatives as the Scheduler and Floor Assistant for Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D, New York).

Head-Royce School ··· Magazine Winter 2012

As Rep. Maloney’s Floor Assistant, Chris is with her during all vote series in the House as she speaks with other members. “I also am with her when she is on the floor speaking about a particular bill,” Chris explains. “My role varies from day to day, but typically, I liaise with other committee offices, outside groups, and the party leadership. I work with the Chief of Staff and legislative staff to make effective use of the Congresswoman’s time.” As Scheduler, Chris plans all meetings, hearings, media appearances, and other aspects of the Congresswoman’s days in Washington. He also coordinates meetings with his colleagues in the office — usually constituent groups visiting Washington to express their opinion about a particular issue.

After graduating from Colby College in 2011 with a B.A. in government, Chris found himself in Washington, D.C. working as an intern. He later learned of an opening for a Staff Assistant (the entry-level position in a Congressional office) in Rep. Maloney’s office. “I interviewed with the Congresswoman and two staffers and started the very next day. After a few months, one of the staff members left and I was fortunate to be promoted to my current position.” “Effective writing is crucial to my work, and I have to give credit to Head-Royce for providing me with a great foundation of skills for success in college and today,” Chris says proudly. He adds that “the English and history classes at Head-Royce shaped the writer and critical thinker I am today. Also, my four years on the Upper School’s debate team sparked an engagement with

Chris Gorud ’07 (second from left) and Cameron Scherer ’07 (far right) with friends

policy and politics and are a significant reason why I pursued these topics in college.” Like many historians, Chris believes that history, and in particular, politics, is cyclical. “So often do I rely on my colleagues to bring institutional knowledge about the House to conversations and meetings as many of the legislative debates of today—over health care, civil rights, budgets, taxes, etc.—relitigate the same arguments of five, ten, or even fifty years ago. In college studying Arab politics, it amazed me how much history and longstanding disputes can color contemporary politics. The same can be said for the U.S., but we are often too close to the debates and campaigns to appreciate the long view.”

For anyone working in D.C. during an election year, the buzz around Capitol Hill is certainly palpable. “The Presidential race grabs most of the headlines,” Chris says, “but the effects of the redistricting cycle have a larger impact on my day-to-day life in the House. The new districts and the uncertainty of that process have made even established members feel vulnerable and created a unique atmosphere in the House.” When we talked with Chris prior to Election Day, he fondly recalled the last Presidential election. “In 2008, so many of my friends and classmates were swept up in the campaign and deeply engaged in the political process. I hope that kind of enthusiasm and optimism about what we can accomplish in government and through elections continues in 2012.”

padmananda rama ’97 Anyone who followed this year’s Presidential campaign on National Public Radio’s web site has certainly read the work of Head-Royce alumna, Padmananda Rama ’97. As a digital news editor for NPR, Padmananda is a regular contributor to It’s All Politics, NPR’s political blog. She also works with reporters from shows such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered, transforming their broadcast stories into content for the web. This year, Padmananda’s main assignment has been the November election. Her various reports cover many different aspects of the campaign. “There is a great deal of discussion right now about the role minority groups will play in this election. This interests me personally. So on a daily basis, I’m able to pitch stories around that idea.” As the candidates make their final push to November 6, Padmananda is virtually on the campaign trail herself. “My job requires that I am close to a computer at all times. You never know what kind of news is going to break. But I love the excitement and the pace of news,” she says.

One reason Padmananda was attracted to journalism is because of her wide range of interests. “Working in a newsroom provides many different outlets for me as a writer — when it’s not an election year, that is!” She has written pieces for NPR’s food blog, The Salt. “A food editor suggested I write about the different foods that appear on the show Mad Men. And so when the new season began this year, my friends and I had a dinner and viewing party. “Another great thing about working in a news room is that you are on the front lines, and you are getting news as it’s taking place. I can’t imagine getting my news any other way than to experience it first hand.

It’s a great way to learn about the world around you. I see what’s happening in an unfiltered way. And the busier I am, the more I feel in my comfort zone.” While Padmananda loves the excitement of breaking news, she also enjoys the fact that this kind of work keeps you on your toes. “It’s great to be in an industry where you have to adapt to what’s coming up. Today, with technology and social media, so much is changing, and you really need to keep up. But it’s exciting to be part of this new experience. And you have to know how to do the next big thing that might be coming along tomorrow.”

Head-Royce School ··· Magazine Winter 2012

After she graduated from Head-Royce, Padmananda attended Boston University’s School of Communications. She also spent a summer in London working as an intern at the London Sunday Times, as part of Boston University’s semester abroad program. Prior to NPR, Padmananda worked for CNN for two years in their Washington, D.C. bureau. Now, she is leveraging her talents as a writer and as a digital producer. “These days, you have to know how to produce digital content for the web. Because so many of my blog posts are being viewed on smart phones, iPads, and other tablet devices, I spend a good deal of time on digital production.” Padmananda is based in Washington, D.C., and for someone following politics as closely as she does, the nation’s captial is a great place to be.

1971 Anne Morddel reports: “My children’s book about the Atlantic Rainforest: The Big Field: A Child’s Year Under the Southern Cross has just been published in the US by KWS Publishers. This book is the result of three years of research and interviews done while living in Curitiba, in the state of Paraná, Brazil at the edge of one of the largest remaining tracts of the Atlantic Rainforest. While there are many children’s books about the Amazon region, almost nothing has been written for children about the Atlantic Rainforest, which once covered more than one million square kilometers and ran the entire length of the coast of Brazil and down into Argentina. Today, only about 6% of that forest remains, and within that tiny percentage, there is a greater biodiversity than in the entire Amazon region. The last vestiges of the Atlantic Rainforest are in an even greater danger than the Amazon rainforest of disappearing entirely from the planet. The Big Field: A Child’s Year Under the Southern Cross by Anne Morddel ’71

The Big Field takes children through the seasons and the cycles of nature in that part of the southern hemisphere, and as a story that is also environmental education, was written with the hope that the young children who listen to it or read it themselves will grow up with a desire to protect and preserve the environment. Naturally, I hope the book will sell well in the US, but it was written for the children of Paraná, and I am seeking ways to donate the Portuguese edition of the book to schools and libraries in Brazil. Local printing and distribution are issues. Suggestions are welcome.

She returned to the United States in 1971 and settled in Weston, Connecticut, living there until 2010. While in Connecticut, Alice was an active member of Norfield Congregational Church — playing in the hand bell choir, participating in a mission trip to Ecuador, enjoying the community’s fellowship, serving its members, and receiving its support in her later years.

Jeanne Hunt Bradner, 80, passed away on June 14, 2012 after a long illness. Jeanne was known by friends and family for her dedication to the community, her passion for political issues, her quick wit and for the gourmet meals she regularly produced from her kitchen. Jeanne was born in Richmond, California and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area where she attended The Anna Head School for Girls (now Head-Royce School) and the San Francisco School of Music and Fine Arts. In 1953, she moved to Chicago to further her singing career. That decision would change her career and her life. Jeanne became active in 42nd Ward Young Republicans where she learned about issues and political process and, more importantly, met her future husband, Robert Bradner. Together with friends they engaged deeply in local politics, precinct work and campaigns of candidates they believed in. That early political interest and training spawned Jeanne’s political career, one that lasted over forty years.

Marianne Keating, 70, of Whately, Massachusetts, died on Friday, October 12, 2012 at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire.

High School, where she served as Chair of the World Languages Department from 1990 until her retirement in 2000.

Marianne was born in Portland, Oregon, on January 22, 1942. She grew up in Ashland, Oregon on her parents’ pear-and-apple orchard, where at the age of 15 she became the picking-crew boss, and ran the D2 Caterpillar tractor, staging fruit boxes throughout the orchard. Despite the busy schedule of a farm girl, she made her professional debut, at the age of nine, as a fairy in the now-famous Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland.

During her teaching years, Marianne traveled widely in the summers — to Iran, Kenya, Egypt, Chile, England, Mexico, Afghanistan, Russia, Thailand, Wales, Ireland, China, and all of mainland Europe — always returning with tales of adventure that enlivened her classes and her friendships.

Marianne went to high school at the Anna Head School in Berkeley, California. Pam Street, a classmate, remembers her this way: “I enjoyed her intelligence, her quick wit, and her candid honesty about herself. She was always very genuine — during a period in a person’s development when there is normally a lot of pretense and the trying-on of personal styles, she was without artifice of any kind. She paid no attention to cliques or status in connecting with her classmates, and seemed to appreciate everyone. It was obvious that she had an impressive intellect from the beginning. It was just natural and logical that she would be our leader back then [she was president of her class], and a great loss to us now.” An AFS trip to Germany while at Anna Head turned her into a life-long traveler. Marianne graduated from Wellesley College, class of 1964. At the Parker School in Chicago she taught Spanish to the children of royalty, the political elite, and mobsters, among others. She taught at the Stowe School in Vermont, before receiving a Masters degree from UMass Amherst in 1972. Except for one year at Frontier High School, in South Deerfield, she spent the remainder of her career at Greenfield

Her travels continued in retirement: to Europe, Canada, Yellowstone, and her 50th Anna Head reunion. In recent years, much of her time was spent on the ocean at Cushing, Maine. While never what one would call a true “birdwatcher,” in later years she developed a deep appreciation for those feathered descendants of the dinosaurs. Marianne was preceded in death by her father, Rodney Keating, her mother, Dorothy, and her brother, Timothy. She is remembered with love and in sorrow by her companion, TR Jackson, of Corinth, Vermont; by her sister, Lucy Keating, of Lambertville, NJ; and by her many friends.

why i give?

I know it is the right thing to do. I calculated that my daughter spends 42% of her waking hours doing something connected with Head Royce — class time, homework, access to faculty, clubs, sports teams or volunteering and the opportunities for her personal growth and development have been tremendous. If my donation supports faculty development and financial aid providing access to more families, I am happy to contribute.” k ym luqman · parent of aminah ’13 & he ad-royce trustee

why i give?

I am in my nineteenth year of teaching at Head-Royce, and every year I am truly delighted by the dynamic students in my classes. As faculty, we know how lucky we are to be teaching in such a community — one with exceptional students and fantastic professional development opportunities. Though faculty already give in so many ways to the school, it is with pleasure that I contribute to the annual fund which — reciprocally over the years — has helped to make my classroom a very special place.

why i give?

We are the proud parents of 2005 and 2008 grads. Head-Royce provided the foundation for their success in the college admissions process and in college itself. We are equally grateful that a large part of what makes our kids such great 20-somethings are the values instilled in them in the classrooms, on the athletic field, in the choir room, and through their relationships with faculty and staff. If raising children takes a village, we were blessed by the one on Lincoln Avenue. bob and linda infelise · parents of t yler ’05 & whitney ’08

why i give?

I give to Head-Royce because it’s my way of giving back to a community that has offered me so much over the years. I think of my donations as small gestures of gratitude to honor the amazing teachers I had and the wonderful experiences they gave me. I also donate to invest in Head-Royce’s future; I wish for other students to have the same opportunities that I did. I can’t wait to see the positive changes that HRS will make in the upcoming years, and playing any part in supporting that change is all I could ask for. kirsten louie ’12, usc cl ass of 2016

Heads Up Program :: Donors Heads Up was established as a partnership between Head-Royce School and the Oakland Unified

School District in 1987. The program provides tuition-free academic enrichment and support for underserved middle school students, engaging and preparing them for academic success and civic engagement. As Heads Up prepares to celebrate its 25th Anniversary in 2012–2013, philanthropic contributions have been essential to the success of the program. The engagement and support of our donors ensures the vitality and strength of the Heads Up program, providing critical support for nearly 1,000 students who have participated in the program since its inaugural year. Through the stalwart generosity of individuals and supporting foundations, Heads Up raised a total of $186,000 in 2011–2012. We extend deep appreciation to our donors for supporting a program that is core to our mission of advancing ethical citizenship and community partnership. Anonymous (4)

Anna & Josiah Legacy Society Individuals who inform Head-Royce of their intention to make a gift to the school from their

estate are invited to become members of the Anna & Josiah Legacy Society. The society is named for the school’s founder, Miss Anna Head and her brother-in-law, Harvard professor and eminent philosopher, Josiah Royce, for whom the Royce School was named. The society honors and gratefully acknowledges the generosity of individuals who include Head-Royce in their estate plans. Planned gifts are invested in the school’s unrestricted endowment unless otherwise designated. Members of the Anna & Josiah Legacy Society are essential to our ongoing tradition of excellence in education. Anonymous (3)
