In fact, the ongoing technological revolution compels us to continually evaluate our pedagogy, and to adapt quickly, but thoughtfully, to better equip students for careers we could not imagine just five years ago. In recent years, top educators from around the country have encouraged schools to focus on a new set of competencies for students. Pat Bassett, former president of the National Association of Independent Schools, has referred to these as the six C’s: creativity, character, critical thinking, communication, cross cultural competency, and collaboration. As we examine our use of technology, it is important to remember that although technology is not the only educational tool available to us, it is a powerful tool when used intentionally to meet well thought out educational goals. The Board of Trustees has made it possible for the school to take two important steps to achieve these goals during the coming years. One, the Board authorized the creation of a new full-time position, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, for which we are conducting a nationwide search. Two, we have recently hired Middle School mathematics teacher, Christian Waters, to fill the new position of Director of Technology Integration. These individuals will play vital roles in disseminating current research on how children learn, and, most importantly, in training and supporting our faculty as they adapt to new educational methods and best practices. As we look to strengthen our program in all areas while maintaining the best of traditional education, we will continually question how new technologies, applications, and software can best help us realize an ever-changing set of targets. The collision of digital learning and traditional education is a major topic for the current strategic planning steering committee of the Board of Trustees. I have to say that it is an exciting time to be an educator exploring these issues. We welcome your suggestions and insights as we navigate the technological world and help our students acquire the competencies and confidence necessary to achieve success. I hope you will enjoy reading about how much Rowland Hall has accomplished during the recent school year, and particularly call your attention to the stories of a handful of our successful graduates. Those who generously agreed to be featured are among the many we are proud to call our alumni. Sincerely, Alan Sparrow Head of School 4 2012 - 2013 FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Since early June, mountains of dirt just west of the McCarthey gymnasium have been moved daily. Before the earth movers and cement pourers could get to work on our new athletic fields, scores of Rowland Hall loyalists like you removed obstacles from our path to help us reach this point in the school’s history: you gave money to pay for the construction; you gave suggestions about designs; you helped us plan future steps; and you nurtured the vision that all our students could, one day, learn, play, and grow together on one campus. This is an era of change at Rowland Hall. Our facilities are improving. Beginning School students are using iPads. This year, the daily class schedule will change for the middle and upper school students. These changes are taking place in an environment where there is one great constant – Rowland Hall’s teachers. They endeavor to integrate digital connectivity in the classroom, they adjust schedules and courses and incorporate best practices, and they excite our children about their possibilities and passions. Our faculty wholeheartedly engage with our children, and our efforts are directed toward reinforcing the relationship between teacher and student. I hope you will join me in taking pride in the collective energy our community continues to generate, enabling us to break ground for new playing fields this summer and eventually new classrooms, gymnasiums, and art spaces that are fit for great teaching and learning. Sincerely, Bob Steiner Board of Trustees Chair REPORTS / ANNUAL REPORT 5 2012 - 2013 FINANCE REPORT The finance committee of the Board of Trustees is pleased to report that the school enters the 2013-2014 year on sound financial footing. For the recently completed year, our actual revenues and expenses were in line with forecasts; of particular note was the strong finish for the Annual Fund. With a few months to go the Annual Fund was below its target goal, but thanks to the generosity of community donors we reached the Annual Fund goal. The importance of the Annual Fund cannot be overstated. Without it, the school would be challenged to provide the breadth and depth of programs we all value. Each year we benchmark the school against similar schools across the country, and from a financial perspective, our rankings remain impressive. Tuition costs are at the low end of the group of peer schools and the percentage of revenues directed toward faculty salaries is at the high end. Even with our comparatively low tuition, our faculty salaries remain above the peer school average. The most valuable aspect of the school is the quality of our faculty, and we are pleased to see that our budget reflects this belief. Thanks to many generous donors, Rowland Hall enters the new school year in a strong financial position. The endowment fund has grown through Capital Campaign donations, financial controls are sound, and we have sufficient reserves to weather disruptions. Through the Board of Trustees’ strategic planning process, we will continue to explore ways to ensure Rowland Hall’s business model is financially sustainable well into the future.

We thank them for their service, support, and valuable advice. Ben Logue served six years and was active on the finance committee and the new campus project. His knowledge of construction and development was valuable in helping make major decisions on building the athletic fields. He also provided good counsel on the implementation of the solar panels at the McCarthey Campus and on many other components of the school’s sustainability program. Rhonda Nicoloffcompleted two terms on the Board and worked on the finance committee and the Capital Campaign for the new campus.

  • Forward the Road to Austin Was a Magical Night of Friendship And
    Forward The Road To Austin was a magical night of friendship and amazing music! The date was May 19, 2007 and over sixty artists performed for over 3.5 hours in front of 20,000 people. This event was designed to create and capture a heightened level of excitement towards understanding how and why Austin, Texas has become known as the “live music capital of the world”. The vision was to create a unique live musical showcase of local and world-renowned artists that are deeply rooted to the Austin music scene legacy. The production includes a scripted visual and musical experience delivered via state of the art theatrical staging technology and world class talent. The late Stephen Bruton was the musical director for the show and a founding member of the FORMAX Group. Our top-flight team of producers, directors, engineers, crew, and an amazing roster of performers seamlessly came together to accomplish this historic event. Stephen assembled a 15-piece world class house band and led them through a forty song setlist. The lineup was developed to include multiple genres of music, including poetry, and attempted to blend and blur this artistic diversity in order to deliver many never-seen-before collaborations. The panoply of celebrity headliners heightened the impact of the evening’s apex and afforded Austin’s local artists an opportunity to have these legends accompany them during their performances. A five-day rehearsal and staging period, occurring directly prior to the event was where all these critical components were perfected and new and old friendships magically collided to create a truly unforgettable evening.

According to AP, two reporters at the scene said Guevara was hit by assault rifle fire as he crossed an intersection with three Red Cross workers, and the fire came from the side of the street controlled by air force paratroopers. Rebels had withdrawn from positions on the other side of the street more than an hour before, and military officers on the scene had given the Red Cross workers the go-head to proceed, the witnesses said. Both insisted on not being identified by name for fear of reprisals. Guevara Paez was interred Dec. 3 in his hometown of Lolotique, Usulatan department. Guevara studied journalism and photography in San Salvador and also worked for a local radio station.

  • David Grissom :: How It Feels to Fly Blue Rose/Sonic Rendezvous
    David Grissom :: How It Feels To Fly Blue Rose/Sonic RendezVous The “eternal sideman” David Grissom has successfully been working on a solo career for a number of years now. With his 4th album, the exceptional Texan guitarist finally arrives where he belongs: on the Blue Rose label. With its roots/guitar/Americana roster, Blue Rose is the natural home for the Austin-based string wrangler and will contribute to his long-overdue breakthrough in Europe. How It Feels To Fly is the album title – and indeed, Grissom plays music that will elevate your spirits – be it at full volume in your home stereo or on stage. He will soon play his first headlining tour through German clubs! John Mellencamp, Joe Ely, James McMurtry, Storyville, Charlie & Bruce Robison, Chris Knight, the Allman Brothers, Robben Ford, Ringo Starr, John Mayall, Buddy Guy, Chris Issak and the Dixie Chicks can’t all be wrong. And those are only the most important cornerstones of Grissom’s career. The guitarist is the go-to guy when a singer-songwriter wants to up the rock factor of their music. David Grissom has succeeded in creating his own sound and a stellar reputation based on his bone-dry Keith-inspired riffing and his signature no frills-lead guitar attacks. But amid his busy schedule as a sidekick he has never lost sight of his true dream which he has been making come true since 2008: writing his own songs, singing them with a surprisingly charismatic voice, recording and producing them at home (Spicewood Studios, Texas) and … obviously, putting his inimitable style of playing the guitar in focus! In 2008 he debuted with the aptly titled Loud Music, followed by 10,000 Feet in the spring of ’09.

  • David Grissom Press Release 2010 Final
    Asterope News Release GUITARIST LEGEND DAVID GRISSOM SELECTS ASTEROPE INSTRUMENT CABLES AS CABLE OF CHOICE AUSTIN, TEXAS, October 4 , 2010… Asterope today announced that legendary guitarist David Grissom has selected Asterope instrument cables as his cable of choice for performances and studio recordings. Grissom recently tested the Asterope cable against his previous favorite, a cable he had used for more than seven years, before switching to Asterope. In addition to his solo recording career, David Grissom has recorded and toured with a wide variety of other legendary artists. He is known for his early work with Joe Ely, after which he went on to perform with John Mellencamp. He then formed the critically acclaimed Storyville. He has toured or played with the Allman Brothers, the Dixie Chicks, John Mayall, Robben Ford, James McMurtry, Montgomery Gentry, Buddy Guy, LeeAnn Womack and Martina McBride. “A friend recommended Asterope to me,” said David Grissom. “I was very skeptical about ‘yet another cable.’ When I A/B’ed it against my favorite cable – one I had been using for seven years – I could hear a big difference. Asterope was the clear winner. It has warmer, fatter highs and clearer lows. Today, I use Asterope every time I play.” “David Grissom represents the type of iconic artist that is becoming the hallmark of our brand,” said Dariush Rad, Asterope founder and CEO. “Our goal as a company is to provide musicians with the best sound possible and to help them experience their music in a whole new way.” David Grissom now joins a number of elite musicians who have selected Asterope as their cable of choice, including Bob Babbitt, GRAMMY® Award-Winning Motown bass player, and Jack Pearson, renowned guitarist for the Allman Brothers.
