YHS Celebrates Founders' Day 2024
92 years ago, seven fearless women—Lena Cotsworth Clarke, Janet Mitchell, Grace B. Faris, Virginia Moore Mackay, Marie Gerhardt-Olly, Gladys Jopling, and Gretchen Hyland—envisioned a brighter, bolder future for girls' education. Today, Yorkies gathered with staff, family, and friends to celebrate Founders' Day, honouring the visionary founders of York House School.
During the Founders' Day assembly, we recognized this year's Alum Special Achiever Award recipient, Catherine Shin '90, and look forward to sharing more about her accomplishments in International Affairs.
The members of Class of 2025 were also presented with their graduation pins, marking their official welcome into the YHS Alum Association.
In the spirit of our founders, the YHS community continues to ground its learning in the school motto, "Not for Ourselves Alone," as we strive to further advance girls education.
With respect, we acknowledge that the land on which we learn, play, and work is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xwməѲkwəyəm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səlílwəta/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
