CAMPAIGN
THE
Our sincere thanks!On December 31, 2011, The Seven Hills School successfully completed The Critical Assets Campaign for endowment. This was the culmination of four years of effort, spearheaded by the Board of Trustees and supported by the efforts of dozens of volun-teers. In the aggregate, The Critical Assets Campaign has added more than $17.6 million to the school’s endowment, an achievement that has had a powerful impact on our ability to sustain the excellence of this school.
Head of School Chris Garten announced the successful completion of the campaign at a recent Board meeting. “We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all the members of this community who worked together to bring this to fruition. In this time of economic uncertainty, the full-blooded support of this entire community means more than I can adequately express. In my 34 years in independent schools, I am hard pressed to think of many other fund-raising efforts that have had such a significant impact on any
institution at such a critical time. On behalf of our faculty and staff and the children of this community, I want to thank all who have helped make this possible. Special thanks to our last two Board Chairs - Jim Schiff, whose visionary leadership inspired this ambitious effort, focused, so appropriately, on building the school’s endowment, and Jane Garvey, who has led an army of committed volunteers across the finish line.”

Endowment for Faculty SalariesEnsuring the Next Generation of ExcellenceThe Critical Assets Campaign has added approximately $8.2 million in endowment to support faculty salaries. Over the five years of the campaign, the median faculty salary at Seven Hills has increased from 77% to 89% of the average among our benchmark schools in the Midwest.
“Nothing is more critical to Seven Hills’ future than attracting the kinds of visionary teachers who have been the soul of this school for decades. These new endowment funds have enabled us to offer more competitive salaries to our wonderful faculty. And as our senior faculty have begun to retire, these funds have also enabled us to compete much more aggressively in the national marketplace and to bring the next generation of excellence to Seven Hills.”- Susan Marrs, Director of Studies for Grades 6-12 and Assistant Head of School
Endowment for Professional DevelopmentMaintaining a Vital Learning Community The new endowment funds secured by The Critical Assets Campaign have enabled us to double the annual budget for professional teacher training. We now have the resources to provide each year at least one robust professional development experience for each of our 120 teachers.
“One of the most exciting things about the last five years has been witnessing an explosion of interest in professional training among our teachers. Whether it be about the latest findings on cognition and brain research or the use of instructional technology, every teacher who attends a national conference or visits an exemplary school brings back a wealth of new ideas to share with colleagues and enrich our program.” - Patti Guethlein, Head of Doherty

Endowment for Curricular InnovationPreparing Students for a Complex Global Community
The Critical Assets Campaign has also endowed a new program to provide summer grants to teachers who create innovative curriculum units. The emphasis has been on collaborative projects that engage students in exploring the global community, in innovative thinking or creative problem solving, or in using instruc-tional technology for research and presentation. Over the past two summers, more than 60 teachers have
received these grants.
“The summer grants program has unleashed the creativity and imagi-nation of the faculty, generating dozens of innovative units designed to engage students in critical thinking and creative problem solving, often with the use of instructional technology. These new projects are arming
our students with the skills they need to thrive in the 21st century.” – Bill Waskowitz, Head of Middle School
Endowment for Financial AidSupporting a Wide Range of Students
The Critical Assets Campaign added approximately $2.6 million in new endowment for financial aid which has, in turn, made possible a 20% increase in need-based financial aid.
“Maintaining the rich diversity of our student body is a critical part of our educational mission. Our students learn so much from the variety
of perspectives collaborating in any given classroom.” - Carolyn Fox, Head of Lotspeich
Designated gifts to The Critical Assets Campaign also established the Seven Hills Scholars program. These new merit scholarships have attracted dozens of students whose families may not have
otherwise considered Seven Hills. “Our school community has benefited tremendously from lively interest
generated by the Seven Hills Scholars program. It has attracted to Seven Hills a wide range of new students, whose interests and talents have
enriched our community immeasurably.” - Nick Francis, Head of Upper School
