  • Welcome to Founder's Day, a Yearly Opportunity to Reconnect with the Rich History of Castilleja School. Today, We Recognize T
    Welcome to Founder’s Day, a yearly opportunity to reconnect with the rich history of Castilleja School. Today, we recognize the Castilleja gifts we’ve inherited for safekeeping, and we celebrate the legacy left behind for us by our founder, Mary Ishbel Lockey. Hello sixth graders. Welcome to your first Founder’s Day. Can you hear all right back there? Seniors, congratulations on your special Founder’s Day. I must admit we’ve gotten used to seeing you out of uniform, so it’s great to see you in your dress whites with your red ties! Our guests today include some very important people in our lives, and in the life of the school. And so I would like ask all of you -- students, faculty and staff – to join me in welcoming the mothers and the special guests of the classes of 2012 thru 2018. Thank you. And now… Founder’s Day would not be complete without a few insights into our history, and especially into the life of our founder. A Stanford University graduate and a former English teacher at Palo Alto High School, Mary Lockey first opened Castilleja School in 1907. Three years later, she had the insight to purchase this property, where we are seated today, and where the school still stands. Ambitious and ahead of her times, Mary Lockey set Castilleja on a course to define educational excellence for girls. 60 years later, in celebration of the last of her 30 years as Castilleja’s Head of School, Margarita Espinosa described, in this 1970 edition of the Castilleja Alumnae Magazine, all the ways she had proudly preserved, during her own tenure, the many important Castilleja traditions established by Ms.
