Message from the Director of Advancement

Name: Catlin Gabel
Address: 8825 SW Barnes Road, Portland, OR, 97225, US
Telephone: 503-297-1894

Every teacher, student, building, and program has benefited from the generosity of our donors. If it were not for that generosity, Catlin Gabel would not be recognized as one of the finest schools in the nation, we would not be known for our state-of-the-art campus, we would not have the best of the best teachers in our classrooms, and we would not be graduating amazing human beings who have a love of learning and the courage to take responsible action. Philanthropy is the difference between great and exceptional, and Catlin Gabel is exceptional!

Thank you for your involvement, volunteerism, and generous support. Please do not hesitate to contact me, or any of the Advancement team members, if you have any questions or if we can be of assistance.
