Phoebe hearst, NCs Co-Founder, was a lifelong educator. she was a schoolteacher in rural Missouri when she married George hearst in 1862. the couple moved to san Francisco, where the next year she gave birth to their only child, William randolph hearst. by the 1890s Mrs. hearst had become a major benefactor of the University of California, berkeley, and in 1897 she became its first woman regent. that same year she helped establish the National Congress of Mothers, which grew into the National Parent-teacher association. Mrs. hearst’s desire to give the same educational opportunities to women that were available to men led to her donation in 1900 of $200,000 ($3 million today) for the construction of hearst hall and the establishment of the National Cathedral school.

there Is MUCh to CeLebrate

this year! First and foremost is the

graduation of 77 remarkable young

women who have made significant

contributions to National Cathedral

School. We are proud that they bear

our name, and we are thrilled at the

opportunities they will have next

year for undergraduate study and

personal adventures. We are sending

young women into the world who are

beautiful individuals with enormous

motivation to share what they know

for good purpose.

In addition to the accomplishments

of the girls and their teachers, we

celebrated the opening of newly-

renovated Scott Hall. In a single

stroke we expanded our science program with three spectacular laboratories,

honored the breadth and quality of our art program with an appropriate Middle

School studio and a digital arts studio for our award-winning young journalists

and artists, and opened a state-of-the-art geography lab to accommodate our

nationally-recognized program.

My burning question is: “Can we do it again?” Can we do it again to reno-

vate Founders Hall, also free of debt and without disrupting current programs,

in time to open its doors in September 2011? Can we welcome our current 7th

graders into fully-renovated Upper School science labs and math classrooms?

Can we welcome our current 5th graders into a completely new Middle School

for 7th grade? Can we replicate one of the most successful building projects ever

launched at NCS?

WHAT WILL IT TAKE?If the NCS community raises $5.6 million of the remaining funds needed in cash

by May 2011, the Phase II renovation of Founders Hall will take place over the

summer of 2011. Students would return in September to find all new science labs,

English and language classrooms, a government moot court classroom, math

classrooms, and a performing arts rehearsal space.

IF NOT?If we do not raise the funds by next May, the project will not commence until the

summer of 2012 at the earliest. Let’s do this for the Class of 2012!

MAY 2011 DEADLINEThis is an ambitious timeline. It is achievable only with the rousing support of

each of our constituencies—parents, alumnae, trustees, and friends. I invite you

to come and stand with one foot in Founders and one in Scott. One side befits the

excellence of the work done by NCS faculty and students; one side does not.

We exceeded all expectations in opening Scott Hall on schedule, under bud-

get, and debt-free. That success is due to the enormous generosity, good counsel,

and determination of faithful NCS families. We are deeply grateful and wish to

honor those commitments with the continuing success of this important project

so central to our core value of academic excellence.

I pledge that I will do everything in my power to fulfill the vision of the open-

ing of Founders Hall in September of 2011. Please join me. Thank you.

Can We Raise the Funds by May 2011?

the GraYs PaY trIbUteC. boYDeN GraY, a member of the NCS Board of Gover-

nors and father to NCS alumna Eliza Gray ’03, recently sat

down to discuss the value of giving back to one’s school,

his family’s gift of $3 million to build a new state-of-the

art library in Procter Hall, and the importance of sup-

porting Educating Women for the World: The Campaign for

NCS.

A former ambassador to the European Union and White

House Counsel to President George H.W. Bush, Boyden

Gray has led a distinguished career punctuated with public service. In keep-

ing with an extensive Gray family philanthropic tradition, he has served on the

boards of numerous charitable, educational, and professional organizations. At

NCS, he has served on the Board of Governors since 2004 and is Honorary Chair

of the Woodley North Campaign Committee.

The Gray family has a long history of generously supporting education. “Of

all the charitable activities that anyone can engage in, giving back to the school

that educated them and their children should be their priority,” said Gray. “Be-

cause that’s the beginning of everything—the skills that you receive when you are

young.”

“Schools like NCS can only survive if you have a strong donor base,” stressed

Gray. And, giving back is essential at all levels—from the most generous institu-

tional donors to the newest alumnae. “If you can get the big donors to commit a

The Campaign for NCS

beverLY bartoN bUtCher bYroN ’50 was elected to Congress in 1978, after the sudden death of her husband Goodloe byron. she represented the 6th Congressional District of Maryland for fourteen years, serving on the armed services Committee, becoming the first woman elected to Chair a sub-committee and the Interior affairs Committee. she later chaired the board of visitors at the Naval academy.

sUsaN MaNGo ’79 received a 2008 Macarthur Fellowship Genius award for her study of how complex organs form. her “Mango Lab” now has two branches, at the University of Utah and at harvard University. she traces her love of science back to studying biology at NCs. “My teacher taught science as an intriguing puzzle to tussle with, not a collection of facts,” Mango recalled to harvard’s MCB News.

oN thUrsDaY, MaY 6, some 300 alumnae, parents, students, trustees, fac-

ulty, and staff gathered for the opening of the completely renovated Scott Hall.

Head of School Kathleen O'Neill Jamieson gave welcoming remarks and officially

launched the “public call to action to fund Phase II.”

“As I look at this group,” said Jamieson, “there are so many faces from each

constituency—alumnae, administration, trustees, parents, students, volunteers—

who have had a hand in this project, starting with a master plan that was created

way back in the early 90s. And the renovation of this complex will be the fulfill-

ment of that master plan. And that means that it’s our responsibility.”

“It’s very clear that each generation has fulfilled its responsibility to make sure

the program at NCS is as dynamic,

innovative, and extraordinary as it

needs to be to match the potential of

our girls.”

First opened in 1967, Scott Hall

served generations of NCS students

before remodeling began in 2009.

Today Scott Hall’s lower level in-

cludes a state-of-the-art classroom

for digital arts in addition to a large

arts studio and a wrap-around gal-

lery corridor named Gray Gallery

in honor of C. Boyden Gray. “With

this renovation, we are stepping out

and providing facilities that match

our program and the ambitions that our faculty members have for the girls,” ex-

plained Jamieson.

The ground level now houses the Teaching and Learning Center, a classroom

for elective science, and a learning laboratory for the signature NCS geography

program. According to Social Science Department Chair Mary DiQuinzio, the

new geography lab will greatly enhance the students’ experience in learning this

subject. “Geography is a very visual discipline, and we have more display space

than we’ve ever had,” she explained. “We have more technology than we’ve ever

had before . . . this room gives us the flexibility to move all around.”

Scott Hall’s upper floor is now devoted to three state-of-the-art science labo-

ratories. According to Science Department Chair Elna Clevenger, the new space

will allow NCS to offer two new courses in the fall of 2010—one on engineering

and another on environmental policy. “We wanted to offer them before,” she ex-

plained, “but we had no space to offer them in. So this has allowed us to expand

our program overnight.” g

Zoe’s years at NCs have been key to her success in a demanding environment. “at NCs, I developed my ability to speak my mind confidently and articulately,” she says. “there was no question of what women could or couldn’t, or should or shouldn’t do —we just did it all.”

Phase II oF the WooDLeY North ProjeCt—renovating Founders hall—will begin as soon as funds are available. this portion of the

project requires $8.1 million; to date, $2.5 million (31%) has been raised. above is the west elevation of Founders and scott hall .

Phase II oF the Woodley North Project—the remodeling

of Founders Hall—will play an essential role in establishing

the NCS Middle School as a model for the entire region.

Founders Hall will be the center of Woodley North. Through

renovation, Founders Hall will have a building design that

clearly reflects our teachers’ knowledge and understanding

of adolescence. The proposed renovation will enhance

existing programmatic space and give NCS the flexibility

for future initiatives.

The first two floors of Founders Hall will be dedicated

largely to Middle School learning. The lower level, will

provide state-of-the-art multimedia language classrooms,

history and ethics classrooms, and a music room. A large

government classroom will have a courtroom layout for

moot court. On the next level, the ground floor of Founders

Hall will include science laboratories with prep rooms,

English and math classrooms, and offices for the science and math departments.

Finally, the top floor of Founders Hall will provide two Upper School classrooms

for science and an additional six for math. g

certain percentage,” explained Gray, “then you build that momentum.” Donors of

all ages and at all levels will follow. “It does take leadership,” he added.

The Gray family began its relationship with NCS with the enrollment of Am-

bassador Gray’s mother, Jane Boyden Craige ’32. The NCS reputation for high ac-

ademic standards made it an easy decision for the Grays to return to NCS for their

daughter’s education more than fifty years later. “NCS has a great reputation,” he

added. “But what I see are girls who are

extremely bright, confident, intellectu-

ally confident, but not arrogant.” And

he has seen firsthand how his daughter’s

education at NCS has prepared her for

leadership in a challenging world. “Her

sense of ethics, her sense of fairness, her

sense of give and take with colleagues was

a very strong theme. It was emphasized

greatly at NCS when she was there, and

she continues to have this sense of fair-

ness, of what’s right, what’s fair, what’s

the ethical thing to do. People have re-

marked about it, and I attribute that to

NCS.”

the jaNe boYDeN CraIGe LIbrarY In honor of his mother, who graduated from NCS before attending Vassar, Am-

bassador Gray and his family have generously committed to construct the Jane

Boyden Craige Library, which will crown the top two floors of Procter Hall.The

two-story library will include expanded space for student group work, upgraded

technologies, and related support facilities. The top floor will hold the Central

NCS Collection, the Faculty Collection, magazines, and two group study rooms.

The lower floor will hold a multimedia classroom and workroom, video library,

distance learning classroom, five reading rooms, two activity rooms, a reference

area, an archives room, and the librarian’s office.

What inspired Gray to donate so generously? He wanted to memorialize his

mother, an intelligent and talented woman who was “quite a character” and who

died at the tender age of 37. Also, “I felt that I owed the school for what it did for

my mother and my daughter,” explained Ambassador Gray. “I very much enjoyed

my time there, my time on the Board, and time with other parents. It was a won-

derful, irreplaceable period of my life.” g

FUNDING the WooDLeY North ProjeCt

The Woodley North Project is a pay-as-you-go undertaking, and the launch of each phase is determined by the availability of funds.

Model Programs for a Model School

“this new classroom will be an ideal

venue for guest speakers, especially

our alumnae who have gone into ca-

reers in the law, the media, politics,

or related careers.

“In an era when everyone urges the

development of ‘global citizens,’

NCs takes concrete steps to do so by

encouraging its students’ quest for

language proficiency and ultimately,

fluency.

NCs WoMeN For the WorLD

Remember the traditional classroom, with desks in neat rows facing a chalk-

board? NCS is now moving ahead to a new generation of classroom, one which

fosters dramatic new learning experiences.

The government “moot court” classroom envisioned as part of the renovated

Founders Hall will be just such a classroom, a multi-use facility that encourages

students to actively engage with the ideas and processes of government. On some

days a debate will be held and students will argue for a particular point of view.

On other days students might hear a guest lecture from a city rich with political

experts. Or, students might research and take part in a mock trial which helps

them understand key constitutional concepts such as the limits of free speech,

religious freedom, or privacy. They might also take part in a simulated congres-

sional hearing, where they work in groups, learn to think spontaneously, and how

to make use of the best available research to prove their case for legislation.

The moot court classroom will host the NCS Student Government, Debate Club,

and Model U.N., and it can also be a gathering place for other student discussions.

It will be used after school, in the evenings, and on weekends as well. As part of its

outreach to the larger D.C. community, NCS hosted this year’s D.C. Urban Debate

League tournament: on one Saturday more than 700 students converged at NCS

for a debating contest. Having a moot court classroom will be a showcase for such

activities and for NCS as a whole.

Finally, we would like to host NCS alumnae as speakers in the new classroom.

The nature of government invites many and varied viewpoints, and it’s essential

that our students hear a wide range of political ideas. This new classroom will

be an ideal venue for guest speakers, especially our alumnae who have gone into

careers in the law, the media, politics, or related careers. The new classroom will

be a welcome and inviting space for such distinguished speakers.

“We hope to incorporate comput-

er science and engineering, two

fields where female participation

in the work force is still relatively

low, into our existing courses...

MatheMatICs

Patricia Howie, Department Chair

The NCS mathematics faculty eagerly awaits the creation of eight new math class-

rooms in Founders Hall. These will bring us more space and continued access

to the latest technology to enhance our teaching. We are continuously seeking

new ways to challenge and stretch our mathematics curriculum to help students

see the relationship between mathematics and the world at large. We hope to in-

corporate computer science and engineering, two fields where female participa-

tion in the work force is still relatively low, into our existing courses with in-class

projects and explorations. We would also like to explore the possibility of new

courses in contemporary mathematical methods which would introduce students

to topics such as decision and game theory, voting systems, logic, coding, linear

programming, and financial literacy.

At NCS, our goal is to nurture each girl’s pursuit of mathematics, so that all

students leave NCS with confidence in their abilities to use mathematics in all

facets of their lives. We often hear from alumnae that the preparation they re-

ceived at NCS has helped them succeed not only in college, but also in their vari-

ous life endeavors. The NCS tradition of rigorous mathematics instruction will

enter a new and exciting chapter with the renovation of Founders Hall. It will give

us more options to develop our program further and provide us with the space

and the technology to do so.

Middle School represents new challenges of all kinds for our students, includ-

ing an increased emphasis on foreign language study. The new foreign language

classrooms planned for the renovated Founders Hall will be bright new environs

which will help generate excitement and interest among our students.

In an era when everyone urges the development of “global citizens,” NCS

takes concrete steps to do so by encouraging its students’ quest for language pro-

ficiency and ultimately, fluency. We also recognize you must invest considerable

classroom time to teach a language well. In Lower School, students meet three-

four times a week for 30 minutes of instruction in Spanish or French. When NCS

students enter Middle School, there is a jump in both the number of foreign lan-

guages offered and the amount of time they devote to foreign language study. In

7th grade, students can select Spanish, French, Latin, or Chinese. They will meet

five times a week for 40 minutes of instruction in that language. In Upper School,

it increases to five times a week for 50 minutes.

In the Middle and Upper Schools, students of the modern languages hone

their comprehension and communication skills in reading, speaking, writing,

and listening. They build vocabulary and expand their understanding of gram-

mar. The classes emphasize cultural diversity as students are introduced to a wide

variety of countries and customs. The Latin program develops language skills so

that in the third and fourth years of study students are able to translate accurately

original sources in Latin.

Gone are the “language labs” of old, with their carrels and headphones: the

new foreign language classrooms in Founders Hall will employ Smartboards and

other computer-based technologies to aid language study. Another, more recent

development has been the rapid growth of Chinese language instruction at NCS.

Introduced in 2007, the Chinese curriculum has quickly grown to be a compre-

hensive course of study, with six classes. The new Founders Hall foreign language

classrooms will help us accommodate this important growth in our program. g

NCS 7th and 8th grade students now spend most of their school day in Founders

Hall. Its renovation will greatly enhance the Middle School experience for both

students and teachers alike. This second phase of the Woodley North project will

also create new science and math classrooms to be shared with the Upper School.

Below, several NCS faculty describe some of programmatic benefits made pos-
