Why Cate? | Brie

Brie ’18

Greenwood Village, CO

My name is Brie and I am an avid lacrosse player who thoroughly enjoys hiking and the outdoors. I came from a small, independent school in Denver where boarding school was practically unheard of. Hearing about Cate’s rigorous academics and outstanding views and outdoor programs, I was extremely intrigued.

My eighth-grade self had no idea what to expect while touring Cate. I knew little about boarding school and I had never been to Santa Barbara. However, once I arrived on the beautiful Mesa, my anxieties quickly vanished as I was welcomed with warm embraces and smiles. I was overwhelmed by the joy expressed by my tour guides and the from community as a whole. I hope to give that same genuine experience to possible future members of this tight-knit family as I now get the opportunity to show off the place I have come to love.
