LEADERSHIP & VOLUNTEERS

Letter from the Head of School

DR. LAURA LEATHERS
EUGENE MCDERMOTT HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students, I would like to thank you for your unwavering commitment to The Hockaday School’s mission. Your generous support makes a significant impact, providing vital resources that enhance every facet of the student experience.
 
Our campus is alive with energy and excitement daily as our girls learn, grow, and thrive within our vibrant school community. From our outstanding faculty and staff to our dedicated advisors and coaches, everyone here remains deeply committed to empowering each girl with the confidence and skills needed to seize the exciting opportunities that await her in the years ahead.
 
Over the past year, Hockaday's Board of Trustees has worked diligently to steward and strategically manage the School’s endowment and budget. Thanks to their thoughtful oversight—and your generosity—Hockaday is on strong financial footing.
 
As you review this Annual Report of Gifts, I am proud to share a few highlights from the 2023-2024 Fiscal Year:
  • The Annual Fund exceeded $2.8 million, helping to bridge the approximate $9,000 per-student tuition gap.
  • Our Endowment grew to over $217.3 million, contributing $7,181,327 to this year’s operating budget.
We know that tuition alone doesn’t cover the full cost of a Hockaday education. Your support—through the Annual Fund and of the endowment and capital projects—provides the resources we need to nurture confidence, character, and intellect in every one of our students.
 
Thank you for being an essential part of this incredible journey. Together, we are shaping the future for each Hockaday girl, and we couldn’t do it without you.

With deep appreciation,
 
DR. LAURA LEATHERS
