From the Headmaster: Launching Our Campaign Off a Strong Foundation
Dear Woodberry Community,
It’s humbling to look back on the past year — undoubtedly one of the most challenging in Woodberry’s history — and see that in spite of all of those challenges you were more generous than at any other time in the school’s 132 years.
As you’ll see later in this report, we set records in both dollars raised and participation for the Amici Fund, allowing us to balance the challenges of reopening Woodberry in the midst of a global pandemic while supporting our faculty and staff, providing an excellent education for students, and ensuring we stayed focused on what matters most to our community.
We are also making steady progress on our quest to endow need-based tuition assistance more fully. In the past five years we’ve been able to extend assistance to an additional twenty boys, but there are still boys each year we cannot admit because we have exhausted our tuition assistance budget. Addressing this gap is our greatest challenge — and our greatest opportunity — as a community of Tigers. It is crucial that we remember how many brothers, sons, and grandsons of alumni benefit from tuition assistance. In the current school year there are fifty-three legacy students receiving assistance from the school.
The funds we have raised in recent years for tuition assistance, as well as new support for the faculty and staff and the restoration of the Walker Building, have been part of the quiet phase of the Campaign for the Boys. We formally launched the public phase of the campaign on November 12, 2021, and I look forward to sharing the details of the campaign with you at regional events around the country in the coming months.
As Father-Son Weekend, reunions, and regional alumni events have resumed in recent months, I’ve enjoyed reconnecting with so many of you after a too-long separation. Just as the campus feels empty when the boys are away, so too does our extended Tiger Nation feel less whole when we cannot gather in person, whether here at Woodberry or in your hometown.
There are many qualities that make Woodberry Forest special. Chief among these shared values are the honor system and our unwavering commitment to intellectual thoroughness and moral integrity. But another foundational strength of the school is that the four hundred boys living and learning here, as well as the faculty and staff who teach and care for them, are surrounded by thousands of alumni, parents, retired faculty, and friends who care so deeply about Woodberry. Your steadfast dedication supports those of us here now and ensures the boys yet to come will enjoy the same transformational experience.
Sincerely,
Byron Hulsey ’86 Headmaster

From the Assistant Headmaster for External Affairs: Building on Our History of Steadfast Support
Dear Woodberry Faithful,
I’ve worked at Woodberry for fourteen years and have never lost my capacity to be awed by the unceasing devotion alumni, parents, students, and friends have for this school. That devotion was illustrated in high definition this past fiscal year as we reached historic levels of support in all of our advancement programs.
The percentage of alumni making a gift also surpassed 66 percent for the first time. Only a handful of other schools or universities have an alumni participation rate of 50 percent, and few come close to the incredible breadth of support we receive from Woodberry alumni each year.
Beyond the Amici Fund, many of you made generous capital gifts to establish new endowed funds or expand existing funds. The endowment is a crucial part of Woodberry’s financial model, with gifts new and old invested to provide support to students, faculty, staff, and our physical plant in perpetuity. Now that we have completed the beautiful restoration of the Walker Building, we are especially focused on growing our endowed scholarships to ensure we have the resources we need to provide tuition assistance for Tigers of the future. We publicly launched the Campaign for the Boys on November 12 and are deeply grateful to those who have already made an investment in this ambitious campaign and to those who will in the coming years.
In the following pages you will see the financial summary of Woodberry’s 132nd year, one unlike any in school history. You will also find the stories of men and women who have given generous support and service to the school. I hope you enjoy reading this annual report, and I thank you for your steadfast dedication to Woodberry Forest School.
With Gratitude,
Catherine Wharton Assistant Headmaster for

From the Chief Financial Officer: Stewarding Resources for Future Generations
Dear Woodberry Community,
The past year has called on each member of the faculty and staff to be a good steward of the resources you so generously share with us. I’m happy to report that Woodberry has weathered the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in strong financial shape thanks to a combination of generous philanthropy, comprehensive planning, COVID-19 risk mitigation practices, and sound fiscal management.
With the boys temporarily at home in spring 2020 and again for part of the winter, we focused on reducing operating expenses wherever possible, which allowed us to offer a tuition credit to families for the room and board they did not use. We were able to provide partial salary increases in February 2021, and regular salary adjustments were approved by the board of trustees for the 2021–2022 school year. Because events like Reunion Weekend were postponed, we set aside some surplus funds in an operating reserve in order to support the three reunion weekends scheduled for the current school year.
A key charge from the board of trustees is to pay careful attention to affordability. Over the past five years we have held tuition increases to an average of 3.1 percent and have set a policy of increasing tuition at or below the rate of household income growth. If we can continue to increase the number of endowed tuition assistance scholarships, we hope to be able to further reduce the pressure on tuition and ensure that all members of our community, including the sons and grandsons of alumni, can take advantage of a Woodberry education.
Finally, I wish to draw your attention to an important and underappreciated element of the school’s financial strength: the Renewals and Replacements Reserve Fund, known colloquially as the Triple R Fund. This was established in the 1980s thanks to the foresight of Walter Craigie ’48 and other members of the board of trustees. Each year we set aside roughly $4 million of our budget into the Triple R Fund and then use that money to help pay for capital repairs and renovations like the Walker Building. In the future, this resource will be critical for the renovation of the Dick Gym and Turner Hall and Taylor Hall in the years to come.
As treasurer and CFO I work with other members of the school’s leadership to steward and preserve the long-term capital assets of the school and allocate current resources so that we can best advance Woodberry’s transformative programs. The incredible experience that students enjoy each year would not be possible without your gifts each year, whether to the Amici Fund or to the endowment. Thank you for all you do to advance Woodberry’s mission.
Sincerely,
Andrew “Ace” Ellis Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer

Tuition Assistance Strengthens the Woodberry Brotherhood
Endowing tuition assistance secures the values of intellectual thoroughness and moral integrity that have guided the school since 1889 and remain at the heart of the Woodberry experience. We know that a Woodberry education — all boys, all boarding, surrounded by caring faculty who know, challenge, and love each student — has a transformative impact on young men. Investing in tuition assistance ensures we retain the school’s unique culture while making the school more affordable, accessible, and sustainable.
In recent years, we’ve made progress in our push to more fully endow tuition assistance. We’ve been able to make need-based grants to an additional twenty families thanks to new scholarships established by donors and strong investment returns for existing endowed scholarships. We extend tuition assistance to a wide range of families, and many pay a substantial portion of the full tuition cost. Though we’ve made progress, there are boys we cannot admit because we’ve depleted the tuition assistance budget. It is our goal to further increase the amount of tuition assistance supported by the endowment in order to ensure boys who want a Woodberry education are able to seize that opportunity for generations to come. Further endowing tuition assistance also allows us to target the Amici Fund toward the most pressing priorities each school year.
The Woodberry community has an enduring tradition of investing in the school’s future. In 1899 the Walker family built the Walker Building to house more than one hundred students, even though fewer than fifty attended the school at that time. In the 1980s the board of trustees established the Triple R Fund to preserve and renew our beautiful campus in perpetuity. Now we are aspiring to establish a similar source of tuition assistance funding to ensure we can always focus on admitting the strongest boys and hiring the best faculty to advance Woodberry’s culture. Our financial resources will preserve and enhance the Woodberry experience, guaranteeing that we can sustain a residential community of boys and faculty on our campus in the Virginia countryside. We know this combination has produced outstanding results for more than 130 years, and we want to see Woodberry continue to thrive for decades to come.
Jim Davis ’99: Making Opportunities Available to All
Jim Davis ’99 spends plenty of time analyzing financial statements and studying the investment propositions of companies large and small. That’s only natural for a man who’s spent the past twelve years managing his own hedge fund, Woodson Capital Management. And though he has a master’s degree in accounting and an MBA from Wake Forest University, underpinning his business education and investing career is the liberal arts education he received at Davidson College, where he majored in history and minored in math, and at Woodberry Forest School.
“A liberal arts education has a lot of applicability to investing,” Jim says. “You distill your learning into a cogent thesis and put that into writing. A lot of wildly credentialed people can be very smart but unable to write a coherent sentence. The advantage to that liberal arts background is learning how to think and communicate.”
He credits David McRae and Scott Tumperi for helping advance his interest in math and teachers like Ben Hale and John Reimers for shaping his skills as a writer and thinker.
The ability to think and communicate clearly have served Jim well in recent years, and his success as an investor allowed him and his wife, Meagan, to establish a tuition assistance scholarship in the Woodberry endowment.
“Woodberry made such a difference in my life. It was a great experience of discovery and exploration of different passions and pursuits,” Jim says. “Meagan and I think these opportunities should be available to anyone who’s qualified and interested to shape his future by making Woodberry his home for a few years.”
Jim’s path to Woodberry was from his hometown, Greensboro, North Carolina. Though his father and paternal grandfather both graduated from Episcopal High School, Jim’s maternal grandfather was Jim Woodson, Woodberry class of 1935. When considering high schools, Jim looked at both Woodberry and Episcopal, and he decided the Forest was a better fit for him. Jim says his dad was understanding — for the most part.
“But he always sat in the Episcopal fan section when he’d come up to see The Game.”
After Woodberry, Davidson, and Wake Forest, Jim became an analyst at Tiger Management, the legendary hedge fund founded by Episcopal alumnus and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate Julian Robertson. Jim arrived in 2006, just as the early tremors of the financial crisis were beginning to shake the investment industry.
“It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to be surrounded by so many exceptional, driven, and talented people, and a crazy time to cut your teeth in the business,” he recalls.
In January 2010 he decided to start Woodson Capital, eager to measure himself and take control of a fund’s day-to-day decision making. And to balance out the lessons he learned from his Maroon mentor, he has built ties with plenty of Woodberry Tigers in the investment industry, including Mitch Hull ’77, by serving on Woodberry’s New York Association Board and by participating in meetings of the investment committee of the board of trustees.
Now Jim and Meagan’s gift to the Woodberry endowment will establish a lasting legacy.
“It’s not an accident that Woodberry leads the nation in alumni participation and giving,” he says. “The school means so much to its alumni, and we all want to do our part to give back.” •
The Power of the Endowment: Resources for Doubling Down on a Unique Culture
Woodberry’s endowment provides more than 40 percent of the school’s annual budget, funding everything from extracurricular programs to faculty and staff salaries to tuition assistance scholarships. The school can spend 5 percent of the average value (over the past three years) of endowed funds. This spending rule ensures that the funds are preserved in perpetuity to benefit the school. The separate Triple R Fund supports work on the school’s physical plant.
Growing the endowment reduces pressure to raise tuition as quickly, making the Woodberry experience more affordable for everyone. The cost per student of operating the school is roughly $25,000 higher than the full tuition price. We are able to offer such an incredible, personalized experience for students because of the endowment and the longstanding generosity of alumni, parents, and friends of the school.
Here are the five major areas that the school’s managed funds support:
Faculty/Staff — Includes faculty chairs, masterships, and professional development funds. The funds support salaries and benefits for faculty and staff, which is the school’s largest expense each year.
Program — These funds support everything from science lab equipment to athletic uniforms to food in the dining hall.
Tuition Assistance — Provides about two-thirds of the tuition assistance scholarships provided each year. All tuition assistance is need-based. Growing tuition assistance endowments is currently the school’s most important fundraising priority.
Capital Projects —
The Triple R Fund is invested alongside the endowment; Triple R also guarantees the school’s longterm debt. The board’s policy is to keep enough money in the fund to cover all outstanding debt, so the full value of these funds cannot be spent. The Triple R Fund has made all of our major building projects of the past five years possible and will be crucial in the future when it is time to renovate Taylor Hall, Turner Hall, and the Dick Gym.
General (Unrestricted) —
Can be used for any area of school life, from facility upgrades to program expenses to faculty and staff salaries.

Making History: The Class of 2021 Senior Parent Gift
The Sixth-Form Parents’ and Grandparents’ Gift is in its seventeenth year and has raised nearly $8 million for capital projects and endowed funds since its inception. The dual goals of $500,000 in pledges and 100 percent parent support have been met in seven of the last eight years. This year, the parents and grandparents of the class of 2021
continued this positive trend in record-setting fashion by raising $1 million towards the newly established Class of 2021 Endowment for Tuition Assistance.
The dollar amount raised is the highest to date for any senior parent gift, surpassing the class of 2020’s record of $690,000, but the true highlight of
Class of 2021 Sixth-Form Parents’ Gift Committee: Carla and Picton Warlow ’87, Grey and Douglas Vaughn ’87, Walker and Liz Simmons, William ’85 and Kitty Bray, Martha and Clay Dunnagan, Yang Song, and Rob Barnhill ’90
this story is the establishment of a perpetual legacy honoring the graduating class. This scholarship will soon begin supporting new Woodberry students who would not otherwise be able to attend the school, and it will continue doing so into the future. The parents and grandparents of the class of 2021 also hope the graduates will, in time, support the fund with their own gifts, expanding its impact in the years to come.
Liz and Walker Simmons, parents of Walker Simmons ’21 and Eli Simmons ’25, co-chaired this historic campaign. A graduate of the University of Virginia in 1993, Walker is well known around Charlotte. As a partner at Pamlico Capital, Walker’s investing efforts are focused in the services, software, and communications industries. He also serves on the advisory board of the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia and has served as board chair for Alexander Youth Network. Liz serves as development chair for the Renaissance West Community Initiative in Charlotte. She is on the board for a number of different organizations and remains very involved in various fundraising efforts throughout the city. It became clear that Liz and Walker, with their innate desire to serve others, were the perfect choice to spearhead this campaign.
As fundraising began last fall, Liz was pleased to find that the rest of the committee members wanted to help Woodberry close the gap between the need the admission office sees each year from applicants and the endowed scholarships available to help families who cannot afford the school’s full tuition. Each year there are roughly a dozen boys who cannot be admitted to the school because tuition assistance funds have been exhausted.
“It was very gratifying that we were able to unanimously decide on tuition assistance so quickly,” Liz said.
One million dollars and a little over a year ago, Liz told Director of Parent Engagement Matt Hastings that she thought the class of 2021 could exceed its fundraising goal.
“I’m a little bit competitive when it comes to this kind of thing, so if you tell me the goal is $500,000, then I’m definitely going to feel the need to exceed that,” she told Matt.
And while the class certainly beat its goal, reaching the $1 million mark would not have been possible without the steadfast support of the other twelve parents who served on the committee. Matt, father of Jack Hastings ’20 and Henry Hastings ’24, also played a major role in the campaign’s success.
“Matt keeps saying he doesn’t want me to keep giving him so much credit,” Liz says, “but he was very effective at this. He was instrumental in communicating the importance of this year’s senior parent gift, handling much of the necessary outreach, and positioning the various committee members in just the right spot where their success would be inevitable.”
Matt says tuition assistance is crucial to preserving Woodberry’s unique culture.
“Woodberry’s culture is at its best when it resonates in its student body. As such, we seek to admit new boys each year that understand our mission, seek to commit to and grow gratefully through it, and foster it in each other. Tuition assistance allows Woodberry to admit the best boys, regardless of their financial circumstances, which in turn nourishes the cultural legacy of the school and those in its care.” •
The Walker Society: An Enduring Investment
Woodberry’s financial strength is built in large part on the estate gifts of alumni, parents, and friends. Most estate gifts support the school’s endowment, providing perpetual support to the boys, faculty, and staff. In 1992 the trustees of Woodberry Forest established the Joseph G. and Violet N. Walker Society to recognize the special generosity of alumni, parents, and friends who have included the school in their estate plans through a provision in their will or as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, life insurance policy, trust, or annuity. The society has more than 565 members, of whom more than 390 are still living.

Larry Krieger ’65: Supporting the Growth of Young Adults at Woodberry and in California
Larry Krieger ‘65 owes his relationship with Woodberry to the parents of one of his childhood friends. He tagged along on a road trip from his native New Jersey primarily to visit Washington, DC. Woodberry was supposed to be a secondary stop. But by the end of the weekend, it was the columns of the Walker Building, not the nation’s capital, that left the strongest impression.
“The facility itself was so overwhelming. I think that was when I first fell in love with Woodberry,” Larry said. “I just remember thinking, ‘Wow, this place is really unbelievable.’”
He followed the visit up with a stint at summer school, where he met soon-to-be classmates Temple Grassi ‘65 and Skip Deegans ‘65. From that point forward, Larry said, his experience at Woodberry was “as good as it gets.” He was a standout on the varsity tennis team and quarterbacked the 1964 Tigers to the school’s first perfect gridiron season in more than twenty years, including a 14–6 win against Episcopal High School. Off the field and in the classroom, he credits his maturation to several legendary Woodberry faculty families.
“For me, two sets of people really changed my life: the Vasquezes and the Caughrons,” Larry said. “I don’t know if anyone can be more looked after than I was by them throughout my time at Woodberry.”
Now Larry is ensuring that future generations of Tigers will receive the same care he received from Red and Cathy Caughron or Bob and Elinor Vasquez. Aside from being an active member of the class and supporting Woodberry through the Amici Fund, he has chosen to join the Walker Society, which recognizes alumni and other friends of the school who have made provisions for Woodberry in their will, as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, or through other means of estate planning.
Larry and his wife, Virginia, have resided in Sonoma, California, since 2000. In his retired life he has taken up golf and continued consulting in the health and recreation club industry, a field he worked in throughout his career. Recently, he’s taken up a project with Arthur Ashe’s widow, Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, to restore the Woodland Cemetery in Richmond and add a small museum commemorating the contributions of Ashe and other local Black leaders in the
community. Larry is also in the final year of his term on the board of directors of the Boys and Girls Club of Sonoma, an organization he sees as aligned in mission with Woodberry.
“When I think of the help and support I got from Woodberry, I like to think our little Boys and Girls Club intervenes and gives that support to these kids,” Larry said. “The kids that come there — for the most part — have normal parents, except their parents are working so hard to survive. They don’t get to set that vision at the dinner table at night where you might talk about college or talk about your schoolwork or set some goals for you. I’d like to think that’s one of the roles we play, and for me it’s been astonishingly rewarding.”
Larry is glad this work will carry on at Woodberry through his planned gift.
“For me it’s a relatively easy choice,” Larry said. “How do you afford all these things that help the school progress? All I can really do is give what I have. Putting Woodberry in my estate was something that I thought, even when I’m gone, I still get one more hit.” •
OUR PHYSICAL Place
Andy Clements: A Steward of Our Beautiful Campus
With weathered hands clenching his faded baseball cap and walkietalkie, Andy Clements walked Woodberry Forest’s 1,200-acre landscape for a dozen years as grounds manager. If he wasn’t on foot, you’d see him headed from one corner of campus to the other in his Kubota, surveying every last detail. He is a shining example of why members of the staff matter so much to the Woodberry community.
“We’re always here for the boys,” he says frequently.
Andy and his team work around the clock to give Woodberry students an incredible home they can enjoy. The preparations for graduation are a perfect example of this dedication.
“We’ll move heaven and earth — literally — to make sure those boys can enjoy that singular day after working hard for four years,” Andy says.
Andy came to Woodberry just ten days before the “Snowpacolypse of 2009,” a monster snow storm that blanketed the central Virginia countryside. Since then, Andy has not only enhanced the beauty of Woodberry’s grounds and kept the roads clear on snowy nights, he has also formed strong relationships with many students. He played an integral role coaching Woodberry’s skeet team and, alongside recently retired food services director Clyde Firman, stewarded the Rod & Gun Club throughout the last decade.
“I thought I was doing the kids a favor,” says Andy, “but many times I think I got more out of it than they did. I’m still friends with many of the boys,” he says, citing enduring friendships with students and alumni like Cas Prewitt ’12, Charles Setzer ’12, Ben Peterson ’13, Ross Winston ’15, Badham Dixon ’15, David King ’17, Ben Lytle ’17, Conn Jannerbo ’18, and Wills Jannerbo ’22.
You’ll have to be careful if you get Andy talking about dirt, “because that can just go on and on,” he says, when asked about the role he played managing the grounds. But Andy and his illustrious grounds crew have come a long way in the past decade. They use far fewer chemicals around the campus than when he assumed the role of grounds manager in 2009. Woodberry had also traditionally outsourced all of its landscaping design plans prior to Andy’s arrival. Twelve years later, he and his staff now create most of the spectacular botanical elements themselves, a move that has unquestionably made the campus shine, though Andy is quick to point out that it is the men and women serving alongside him with outstanding intelligence, amazing talent, and an unparalleled work ethic who have truly made the campus what it is today.
In recognition of Andy’s devotion and service to Woodberry, he received this year’s Frank S. Walker Award at graduation. Fittingly, hosting an outdoor ceremony involved a last-minute scramble after a Friday night downpour left the lawn soggy.
Andy is now living in Maine with his wife, Brenda, who recently retired after serving as executive director of the Madison Free Clinic. It was a difficult decision for him to leave Woodberry. This was not because of his work on the grounds, which he knows could never be complete. It was instead due to his apprehension at saying goodbye to the Rod & Gun Club and all the boys he cares for so deeply. Brenda reassured him, saying that Woodberry will continue on as it always has.
“I’ve worked in a lot of other places, but I have never worked in a place like this, and I have never had a crew that can match the one I have had here,” he said.
Andy will be sorely missed by the Woodberry community. The legacy he leaves behind is that of a man who came to Woodberry and not only made a difference on the grounds but, perhaps more importantly, also in the hearts and minds of many of its students. •
The Terry Foundation’s Expansive Support of Woodberry
Throughout Woodberry’s 132-year history, school leaders and the board of trustees have struck a balance between building new facilities to meet the school’s changing needs and preserving and repurposing existing buildings that provide a link to the school’s past.
Over the past decade Woodberry has built the Manning Family Science Building and Kenan Hall, which is home to the Terry Dining Hall as
well as math and computer science courses. The school also converted Hanes Hall from the library into a dormitory, and completely revitalized the Walker Building. The Terry Foundation has played an indispensable role in making those projects possible.
The foundation was established by Randall B. Terry, Jr. ’53, a newspaper publisher and Woodberry Forest School trustee who died in 2004.
Woodberry is one of two primary beneficiaries of the foundation alongside the NC State College of Veterinary Medicine.
“The Terry Foundation has played a critically important role in providing capital to support upgrades and expansions of Woodberry’s academic spaces, student dormitory and activity spaces, faculty housing, and administrative offices,” Chief Financial Officer Ace Ellis said.
Over the past twenty years Woodberry has allocated roughly 75 percent of the foundation’s gifts to capital projects, with the Walker Building restoration, Hanes Hall conversion, Kenan Hall, and the Manning Family Science Building accounting for the largest portion of the spending. But Terry gifts have also helped support the creation of Robertson Lake, smaller dorm renovations, and improvements to faculty housing across campus.
Mr. Terry’s preference was to support highimpact projects. Shortly before he died, the board of trustees voted to name a new dormitory Terry Hall in recognition of his incredible generosity to the school.
“Every Woodberry student uses one or more Terry Foundation-supported facilities daily — for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as math and science classes,” Headmaster Byron Hulsey ’86 said. “Approximately 35 percent of Woodberry’s students live in Terry-supported dormitories, and students visit the library, Fir Tree Snack Bar, post office, and school store multiple days a week.”
The foundation also played a crucial role in helping Woodberry weather the financial crisis and recession of 2007 to 2009. Though the foundation’s investments, like Woodberry’s endowment, declined in value during the crisis, the foundation doubled its gift for the 2010–2011 school year. This generosity allowed Woodberry to extend tuition assistance to families impacted by the recession and to avoid layoffs among the faculty and staff at a time when the school’s own endowment, as well as tuition revenue, were declining because of the recession.
The investment committee of the Woodberry Forest board of trustees manages the Terry Foundation’s assets, investing them alongside the school’s endowment. Each year the foundation makes a gift to Woodberry. The headmaster, CFO, and other school leaders work with the foundation board to determine how the annual gift is allocated.
And while major building projects have been the primary focus of the Terry Foundation’s support for Woodberry, ensuring that boys here now and those

yet to come can live, learn, and play in outstanding facilities, the foundation has also worked to support the school’s long-term financial stability. Since 2000 it has given nearly $7 million toward two endowment funds — one for faculty support and the other for tuition assistance.
Thanks to the stewardship of the investment committee, these funds have generated almost $4.3 million in operating contributions to Woodberry’s budget and have a market value of more than $13.3 million. These endowments offer a perpetual source of support to the school and are critical to strategic goals around financial stability.
“The Terry Foundation board has been very gratified to see how well its gifts have been used by Woodberry for tuition assistance, faculty support and campus improvements, especially the Walker Building renovation and Kenan Hall,” said Sion Boney ’74, a member of the Terry Foundation board and a former chair of the Woodberry board of trustees. “Randall would be amazed at the impact of his legacy and with how well the Woodberry investment committee has managed and grown the foundation’s assets.“
The far-reaching vision of Randall Terry ’53 and the foundation that carries on his legacy have shaped both the campus and the student body in profound ways over the past twenty years and will continue to be a crucial part of the school’s success for decades to come. •
WHY WE ARE STRONG: Community &Volunteers
Broderick Dunn ’00: A Stalwart Tiger Volunteer and Advocate
If it weren’t for a last minute phone call, Broderick Dunn ‘00 might have ended up wearing maroon instead of orange and black. Having been accepted to both schools in 1996, the Prince William County native decided that he wanted to stay close to home for high school and head down the road to Alexandria. The matter seemed settled.
“Little did I know that Tony Gould ’60 had called my mother the night before and talked to her for an hour,” Broderick said. “She liked Tony so much, and my parents really liked Woodberry. They said, ‘We know we said this would be your decision, but we think you’re going to Woodberry.’ And that’s how I ended up there.”
Twenty-five years later, Broderick is one of the school’s most loyal alumni. His tireless work as a volunteer has helped make the class of 2000 one of the most active and generous in the alumni base. He’s always willing to talk with Woodberry boys young and old about his experience on campus and in the world. A graduate of Williams College, Broderick says that he didn’t begin to fully appreciate Woodberry until after he returned to Virginia to attend law school at Washington and Lee University.
“I thought my experience at Williams was kind of disconnected from Woodberry in that it was geographically far away,” Broderick said. “It was coming back to Virginia for law school, being in such close proximity to Woodberry, and having that separation from the experience that made me able to really appreciate it.”
Broderick is a partner at Cook, Craig & Francuzenko, PLLC in Fairfax, Virginia. He is also active in local government, serving as the Braddock District commissioner on the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority. Despite his demanding schedule, he always finds a way to support other Tigers, whether by driving to Episcopal High School for a road basketball game or participating in a career day panel with students and young alumni. He credits his commitment to the power of his Woodberry experience.
“I think that putting you as a young teenager in a situation like that away from home with people from all over the country — all over the world now — and just kind of letting you go gives you that space to grow and really find yourself,” Broderick said.
He claims that he and his hallmates were troublemakers on Upper Turner during their third-form year. Over the four years that followed, they were bonded by on-dorm talent shows led by Reed Shelger ’00,
a trip to Spain, and an American Studies course cotaught by Ted Blain and Nat Jobe.
“A lot of people talk about ’90 being the best class, some people talk about ’85, but 2000 I think has just kind of stayed together,” Broderick said. “Those are the people you want to call when something good happens in your life, and they’re the people you want to call when something bad happens in your life.”
Broderick joined the board of trustees in November. He believes that affordability and diversity and inclusion initiatives will be important for Woodberry in the future. As the school moves forward, he feels it still preserves the shared experience that unites boys from across generations.
“We need to maintain the traditions and maintain what makes Woodberry unique, whether it’s for someone from the class of ’90, class of ’20, or the class of 2000,” he said. “The birth rate is down nationally and fewer people are having children, so in order to stand out in a very competitive environment, Woodberry needs to stay special.” •
OneWoodberry Helps Amici Reach a Record
During OneWoodberry we received more than 1,500 gifts in a twenty-four-hour period, as well as another 2,000 gifts that arrived in the days leading up to the event. Our success on that special day in March unlocked a more than $500,000 challenge gift from a group of parents and alumni.
At the core of OneWoodberry is an incredible, dedicated network of volunteers. More than four hundred alumni and parents give their time and energy throughout the year to make the Amici Fund a success, and OneWoodberry is the culmination of those efforts.
The class of 1963 raised the most dollars during OneWoodberry, contributing more than $161,000. Following behind were the classes of 1974, 1977, and 1985.
Though classes of all ages enjoyed phenomenal days, special recognition is in order for the class of 2017, which had by far its biggest day of participation ever and logged ninety gifts, and the class of 2020, which reached seventy-one gifts in its first year as members of the alumni community.
Since we held the first OneWoodberry in 2017, the program has become a national model for independent schools. Though this year’s event took on a different form due to the pandemic, it once again showed the unwavering loyalty of the Woodberry community.

The Amici Fund Reaches New Heights
Thanks to your incredible loyalty and generosity, the Amici Fund set records for dollars raised and alumni participation during the 2020–2021 school year. This incredible show of support was crucial to the school’s success as we worked to educate young men in an environment of intellectual thoroughness and moral integrity while also taking steps to keep them, the faculty and staff, and our local community safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Woodberry community contributed $3,854,219 to the Amici Fund, the largest amount in school history. The school received gifts from 66.1 percent of active alumni and 94 percent of current parents. Woodberry grandparents, parents of alumni, and other friends of the school also made hundreds of gifts. Amici made up more than 10 percent of the school’s budget this year and provided invaluable resources for student programs, tuition assistance, and faculty and staff salaries.
Support from alumni and parents spanned ninety years, from the late John Hardy ’34 (our oldest living alumnus until his death earlier this year) to parents of third formers in the class of 2024.
For much of the past decade, Woodberry has received annual gifts from a higher percentage of alumni than any other boarding school or university in the country. We are confident that streak continued this past year. This sustained success is only possible because of the incredible network of alumni and parent volunteers who join forces around the world to support the school. Though the Amici Fund’s efforts took on a different form because of the pandemic, the devotion parents and alumni showed to Woodberry never wavered.
