A life in learning

Last summer I received an e-mail from one of my 2008-09 students. Apparently, he had gotten into a major debate about healthcare in America at the family dinner table, and he responded with a ten page manifesto, edited by one of his classmates. They sent it to me for commentary. Last week, the middle school students were busy with Sarah Cooper’s lunchtime book group. The other day I had to wait in line at Peter Vaughn’s office door, as two seniors in his investment class argued passionately for a stock purchase. I went back to my office to discover another student waiting to talk about Tolstoy and the soul.

Teachers seem interested in ideas as well. Two weeks ago at a voluntary 7:00 am breakfast, a faculty reading group explored neuroscience and the Dali Lama. Daily faculty room conversations range from politics, culture, film, and music to environmental science and JPL research. Last night, at a holiday party, a quartet was observed arguing over the historical significance of Brown v. Board of Education.

Last week, the school had two visitors from Connecticut to consult on how we might improve internal and external communications. They sought to immerse themselves in our culture, and interviewed administrators, teachers, students, trustees and parents. Identifying a “family dynamic on campus where niceness and kindness and inclusiveness pervade,” they made special note of our campus as an “intellectually lively place.” Students and teachers testified to an intellectual vibrancy and demonstrated it in various ways. During lunch, our visitors overheard a passionate student exchange on Freud and human nature, and after interview- ing and observing teachers, they declared: “we’ve never had so much fun with faculty who challenged and supported each other.”

Several years ago, Joanna Hartigan and I took a dean of admissions to dinner. When we asked him who was admitted, he replied: “kids whom our faculty will have fun teaching.” He verified what many of our alumni tell us, that much of the joy of college is the result of intellectual passion; a characteristic we will continue to foster, to an even greater degree, in the future.

Peter Bachmann, Headmaster cultivating 3 ? the curious

Last year was a time of reflecting into the past, as well projecting into the future. We had celebrated Prep’s 75th Anniversary over the summer and the “bold and brilliant” Anniversary Campaign came to a close. Wonderful accomplishments were recognized and a dynamic school history celebrated. It was time to get to work looking ahead. A new strategic plan took form, and the year’s PrepTalk feature articles discussed its three core values: excellence, community, and sustain- ability. The plan to lead us through the next decade is complete, and the following is a summery of its main goals. 4 flintridge preparatory school Strategic Plan — 2009

Mission Flintridge Preparatory School offers an engaging, rigorous, moral and intimate learning environment, nurturing in its students the skills, knowledge, values and inspiration essential to a rewarding college ex- perience, a lifelong embrace of education, a devotion to community and a full and responsible life.

Balance We are committed to providing a school environment that values ethi- cal and emotional development as equally important to intellectual development.

Honor Code My responsibility as a student, teacher, or parent in the Flintridge com- munity is to be honest, kind, generous and respectful.

Long Term Goal For generations to come, each graduate will embody the skills, knowledge, values and inspiration of the school.

Strategic Priorities Intellectual Development and Engagement While maintaining a commitment to academic preparation for college at the highest level, we will strive to spark and nurture each student’s intellectual curiosity, passion and creativity, engagement of the world’s 1 issues and embrace of lifelong learning. Human Development To continue to nurture a balanced community of care, generosity, life- time student friendships and close student-teacher relationships, and to expand our contribution to the national conversation on emotional, 2 ethical and social development. Regional and National Community Development In the coming decades, we will expand our relations beyond the imme- diate campus to assure lifelong membership in the Prep community for alumni and their parents; vibrant relations with colleges, other schools and community agencies; and thriving interaction with accomplished 3 scholars, artists and speakers. plan strategic Resource Development To assure the achievement of Prep’s mission and strategic priorities through the cultivation of a philanthropic culture and the development and execution of a plan to ensure, over the long-term, sufficient finan- 4 cial, plant and people resources. 5

Fall Visitors to Prep

With photography, spoken-word, film, and text, numerous speakers came to Prep this fall to engage students in an array of topics. Kip Fulbeck, artist and professor, shared his photography and expressions about Hapa identity and the importance of telling one’s story. Jim and Jamie Dutcher shared their incredible experience living with and filming a pack of wolves for six years in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains. Author Saïd Sayrafiezdeh engaged in a discussion about childhood percep- tions, family expectations, and how one begins to reframe an adult self. This year Prep will host many more visitors, and continue to benefit from their uncommon and inspired perspective.

Living With Wolves

On Thursday, October 29, Prep welcomed Jamie and Jim Dutcher who Author shared their account of living with a wolf pack in the Sawtooth Mountains of Central Idaho. For six years from their tented camp, they filmed the Saïd Sayrafiezadeh pack as they grew from young pups to a mature group with highly discusses Family, organized roles and distinguishing personalities.

The Hapa Project

With a knack for verbal speed and a flash of images, Kip Fulbeck, Professor and Chair of Art at UC Santa Barbara, delivered a provocative spoken word performance on November 19 in Norris Auditorium. Born in 1965 to a Chinese mother and an English/Irish father, Kip grew up with a keen awareness of his Hapa identity—one who has a racially mixed half Asian back- ground.

Remembering Tom Fry

om Fry, a beloved member of the Prep family for nearly 20 years, passed away on October 21, 2009, at the Tage of 52. As a history teacher, football coach, and most lately the school’s Web Manager, Mr. Fry, for many, WAS Prep. As Dylan Yamamoto ’09 put it, “Tom Fry was the ultimate fan of Flintridge Prep, and of every human being who had the privilege of knowing him.” Mr. Fry held an AB from Occidental College and a JD from Loyola Law School. He grew up in La Crescenta, played foot- ball at Crescenta Valley High School, and football and rugby at Occidental College. His Occidental and law school roommate Ed Anderson ’76 introduced him to his father, Prep’s then-headmaster Edor Anderson, who hired Mr. Fry to teach history and coach JV football in 1990. Mr. Fry immediately plunged into school life and was famous around campus for his attendance at nearly every function. ment. I had completed my hours earlier in of crap.
