They come to this place of eucalyptus trees and Newtonian mechanics, this place of sunsets, ceramics, and Salinger, this Mesa between the mountains and the sea, and find it is the place for them.

MENU LEADERSHIP & TRUSTEES KEEP SCROLLING Home > About > Leadership & Trustees Leadership and Trustees Cate is led and governed by people who know and love boarding schools, especially this one. Our head of school was raised on a boarding school campus, and many of our administrators and trustees graduated from Cate or other boarding and independent schools. Still others have children who have been educated here so they’ve seen the impact of a Cate education. We search far and wide for leaders who can make our great school even better and who are devoted to keeping Cate’s enduring spirit fed with new ideas. Leadership Benjamin D.
