Bobcat Stories

Bosque School is proud to be turning thirty! This special birthday is a great opportunity to look at the school’s history since its founding in 1994 and to celebrate this milestone in small and large ways all year. There have been three decades of morning meetings, the development of a vibrant student body and faculty, ever more diverse offerings in academics, arts, and athletics, and the development of signature programs like Senior Thesis and Field and Community Science. Throughout the decades, we have been indebted to visionary leaders, including our beloved founder Peggy Findlay and a long list of trustees, who, along with founding head Gary Gruber, all raised funds and guided the school’s mission and growth—including the move in 2000 from a former church in the Northeast Heights to our current idyllic setting on the bosque.

One of our cherished fall semester traditions is the “It Takes A Village” celebration, where we honor the crucial roles family members play in our students’ nurturing and success. The school as a whole also requires a village— all of us—to sustain our mission and continue to serve our students, now and in the future. This year, we’re shining a spotlight on the school’s history by sharing the stories of individuals and families whose collective contributions of time, imagination, hard work, and financial support over the past thirty years have turned Bosque School from a dream to a reality. We are glad you are here to celebrate with us.
