Whether your child is a kindergarten student starting at Laguna for the first time, or a senior embarking upon his or her final, pivotal year, I hope you feel an air of excitement this fall. As Laguna’s new headmaster, I am touched by the warm welcome and generous spirit of giving I have personally witnessed since arriving in Santa Barbara last July. Everyone in this community gives so much of their heart and resources to make Laguna the best place it can be for your children. I am writing now to ask for your help in the months ahead to continue this grand tradition of giving.

I invite and encourage you to participate in this year’s Annual Fund drive. With tuition only covering a portion of the total cost for educating each student, your contribution provides the vital support needed to bridge the tuition gap. Your participation also helps to preserve the nurturing environment and the academic excellence for which Laguna is known. 

Thank you for your loyalty to Laguna, and know how very much I appreciate everything you do to strengthen our School.

With gratitude,

Paul Slocombe

Headmaster
