Dear Friends:

I am pleased to share the exciting news that Natalie M. Randolph '98, Senior Women's Administrator and Title IX Coordinator at the District of Columbia State Athletic Association (DCSAA), has been appointed Director of Equity, Justice and Community, effective July 1, 2019.

Natalie received a Sidwell Friends Distinguished Alumni Award  in 2018 for her achievements in coaching and education (click to view a video of Natalie). Prior to her current position at DCSAA, where she oversees gender equity issues for all District of Columbia athletic programs, Natalie taught science at both Alice Deal Middle School and Calvin Coolidge Senior High School. She has extensive experience in curriculum development and instructional coaching, as well as a deep interest in the science of learning. At Coolidge, she served as Head Varsity Football Coach, one of a handful of women in the United States to hold such a position.

Natalie received both her Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Science and her Master's in Education in Educational Policy from the University of Virginia, where she competed in track and field. She currently serves as a board member of the National Alliance of African-American Athletes, and is a recipient of a number of honors, including the U.S. Marine Corps Award for Excellence in Coaching, the National Urban League's Women of Power Award, and the Amtrak Pioneer Award. The National Conference for College Women Student Leaders named Natalie a Woman of Distinction in 2011.

I want to thank the search committee, clerked by Upper School Assistant Principal Min Kim, for its work in conducting an exhaustive national search. The faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni and trustees who dedicated their time to interview our three finalists played an indispensable role in the successful outcome of this process. After meeting with the search committee and carefully considering the feedback both they and I received, it became clear that Natalie was perfectly poised to lead our EJC program into the future.

We all look forward to Natalie's return to campus this summer, and we will organize opportunities in the spring for students, faculty, parents, and alumni to meet her. Please join me in thanking her for her willingness to serve the School.

In friendship and with gratitude,

Bryan Garman
