A Message from the Head of School

I want to first so kindly thank the entire Mirman community for welcoming me to Los Angeles. A modern school geared for success and innovative growth requires a foundation of integrity, expertise, and courage that supports the hard work and passionate dedication of its students, teachers, and parents. From my early perspective, I am pleased to report that Mirman School has just that type of foundation. We are very fortunate.

Informed by Dr. Norman and Mrs. Beverly Mirman’s founding vision, Mirman School will maintain a focus on creating an infrastructure that nurtures our students and prepares them for a world that is changing at an increasingly rapid and sophisticated pace. Our mark on future generations depends on the work we do today. That work is not always easy, but it is forever worthwhile. Fortunately, the groundwork has been laid and our overall vision deepened. I look forward to ensuring that the future we imagine for Mirman School becomes reality. Open and honest collaboration with all Mirman constituents will be a critical component of this process and I invite you to contact me to discuss our plans. The following Annual Report is a continuing testament to all those who came before me.

A Message from the Board Chair

In the coming months, as we begin to formulate our Strategic and Campus Master Plans, we will have the opportunity to dream, discuss, and distill our hopes and aspirations for Mirman’s next chapter. The dedication to mission that permeates our community will serve as a guidepost in this process and will ensure that we remain the gold standard for highly gifted education. Our insatiably curious, creative, and talented students deserve no less. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I thank you for your heartfelt commitment to Mirman and look forward to joining you as we celebrate its continued successes.

This past year, as Mirman celebrated its 50th anniversary, we welcomed our new Head of School, Dan Vorenberg. In a relatively brief period of time, Dan has infused the Mirman community with a sense of energy, purpose, and vision and sparked our excitement about Mirman’s untapped potential. As a Mirman parent for the past 17 years, I, like you, can attest to the wonders of a Mirman education and the profound impact it has had on my sons and on my family. I am so proud to be a part of its past and feel fortunate to be one of the many voices in helping to shape its future.
