EspañolCATLIN GABEL SCHOOL
(Redirected from The Catlin Gabel School)
'Catlin Gabel School' is an independent pre-K to 12 private school located just outside Portland, Oregon, in the United States. The school was founded in 1957 as a result of merger between the Catlin Hillside School (founded 1911 as Miss Catlin's School, named after the founder Ruth Catlin) and the Gabel Country Day School (founded 1859).
As of the 2004-2005 school year, there were 700 students (48 percent male, 52 percent female). The student body is divided into four groups: Upper School (grades 9-12), Middle School (grades 6-8), Lower School (grades 1-5), and Beginning School (pre-K through kindergarten).
Catlin Gabel School was formed as the result of a 1957 merger between the Catlin Hillside School and the Gabel Country Day School. The school had initially hoped to expand onto the Gabel school property, but lost it to eminent domain. Since the Catlin property was too small to support the school, Catlin Gabel purchased the Honey Hollow Farm in 1958, relocating the upper school there in the fall. Nine years later, the middle school relocated there, followed by the lower school a year later, in 1968. The school sold the Catlin Hillside buildings to the Portland Art Museum.
The school is located on the Honey Hollow Farm site, a 54-acre forested area roughly ten minutes from downtown Portland. The campus is centered around the old barn, which has been converted into the cafeteria. Each division has its own area in the campus, in addition to common areas, such as the athletic complex, the gym, the tennis courts, the Cabell Center (theater), the Barn, and the paddock.
The school owns a gym, four soccer fields, two outdoor tennis courts, and two indoor tennis courts. The indoor tennis courts double as basketball courts and indoor soccer fields. In addition, the second tennis court contains a small rock wall, as well as a basement level with a wood shop and ceramics facility.
The athletic complex comprises a lighted 400-meter, eight lane athletic track, surrounding a large field used for soccer and field events, (such as discus, long jump, and shot put.) Below the track is another field and a baseball diamond.
Catlin Gabel is a traditional rival in athletics of Oregon Episcopal School.
Notable Catlin Gabel alumni include the current Metro regional president David Bragdon (class of 1977), and the film director Gus Van Sant.
Catlin Gabel has held a locally famous rummage sale (currently held at the Portland Expo Center) every autumn since 1944. The large sale covers 88,000 square feet and raises over $285,000 per year for student financial aid. [1]
In 2005 the Malone Family Foundation endowed Catlin Gabel with a $2 million dollar grant for financial aid under its Malone Scholars Program.
