JASON NEAR, CHAIR

Dear St. Andrew’s Community,

As I reflect on the unprecedented 2020-21 school year, I am profoundly grateful for all that we were able to accomplish together, despite the many challenges and uncertainties that we faced. The resiliency of our St. Andrew’s family, and the acts both big and small of compassion, grace and fortitude, have made us stronger and will have an impact on all of us for years to come. The St. Andrew’s Board of Trustees was committed to supporting the faculty and staff as they worked tirelessly to create a joyous, safe and inclusive environment where students could continue to learn, flourish and grow during this time and we are incredibly grateful for all that they were able to accomplish.

As supporters of St. Andrew’s School, you share equally in these accomplishments, because we could not have achieved so much without the generosity of our community. We had over 1,000 donors to St. Andrew’s during the 2020-21 school year, each of whom made a measurable difference. Our Episcopal Identity shines brighter than ever as we look toward our future and the enthusiasm - and optimism - for what lies ahead is palpable. Thank you for your partnership in our mission of helping fulfill each student’s potential. Gratefully,

Jason Near

Chair, St. Andrew’s Board of Trustees Parent to Jake ’25 and Chase ‘27
