FINE ART & ILLUSTRATION

   Chadwick School celebrated its 90th Anniversary last year, a grand  achievement and a testament to the endurance of a school from humble beginnings. Commander and Mrs. Chadwick began their school in their home in San Pedro when Commander was stationed nearby.

   Mrs. Chadwick had a vision beyond her fledgling school and others shared her vision - Frank Vanderlip, Sr. donated the land and the Roessler family supported efforts to finance the original buildings on the empty hills on the east side of the Peninsula.

   I was fortunate to attend Chadwick School - a dreamer always staring out the window, my teachers gave me focus, a sense of self determination, and true joy in learning.

 

As the Chadwick alma mater so beautifully states -

​    "This school so firmly founded in Faith in Childhood's Worth"

​

Happy 90th Birthday, Chadwick!
