Support
Annual Luncheon
Thank you for coming together to celebrate our rising stars at the Seattle Girls' School 22nd Annual Luncheon!
At this year's Luncheon, we had over 600 people in the room and raised over $200k towards tuition assistance! In the words of alum and board member, Jing Redman '12,
"Your support plays a crucial role in making opportunities possible for all of our students, regardless of their background...its not only about the kids who attend SGS now, it about the rest of the community, and the world that will benefit from the way the students at this school will be educated."

Thank you again for supporting our students and believing in the future of SGS. Didn't get to join us? It's not too late to support our mission to inspire and develop courageous leaders who think independently, work collaboratively, learn joyfully, and champion change.

2024 Grace Hopper Award Recipient
We're proud to announce our 2024 Grace Hopper Awardee: Dorothy (Dottie) Metcalf-Lindenburger!
Dorothy (Dottie) Metcalf-Lindenburger, a retired NASA astronaut, educator, and geologist, hails from Colorado's Front Range and studied at Whitman College. A former track and cross-country athlete, she earned her B.A. in Geology. She taught earth science and astronomy for five years at Hudson’s Bay High School, coaching cross-country and participating in Science Olympiad.
Selected by NASA in 2004, she flew as a mission specialist on the STS-131 crew, contributing as a robotic arm operator and coordinator for spacewalks during a fifteen-day International Space Station resupply mission. She later commanded NEEMO 16, simulating asteroid conditions underwater. Retiring from NASA in 2014, she completed an M.S. in applied geology, worked as a geologist, and founded Dottie ML, LLC. Now, a professional speaker and STEAM education advocate, she volunteers with Challenger Learning Center and the Museum of Flight.
