Mrs. Serhan
What is your connection/history with the school?
I have two daughters who graduated from Clairbourn, Molly ‘09 and Emily ‘12.
What makes you want to serve on the Board?
Clairbourn accepts and nurtures the gifts that each child has. As a parent I appreciated that students were always encouraged to be the best version of themselves, to challenge themselves in and outside of the classroom, to be a caring and accepting friend and to be a giving member of a very special community. My daughters Molly ‘09 and Emily ‘12 embraced everything that Clairbourn still embodies, years after they have graduated. Clairbourn was immensely instrumental in shaping who they are today, and I am most grateful for this opportunity to give back to a school and community that gave so much to my family.
What work, volunteer, passions, hobbies do you have that give you insite or skills that are helpful to the school?
What is your favorite Clairbourn experience/memory that exemplifies our mission of Creating Scholars and Leaders with Heart?

I am a Pasadena native and a long-time community volunteer. Over the past 33 years I have been involved with the Pasadena Junior League, Kidspace Circle of Friends, Pasadena Children’s Guild and National Charity League, Pasadena, I am currently an active member of the Christ Child Society and the Pasadena Guild of Children’s Hospital where I serve on the Board. I am a big believer in leading by examle and giving back to the community.
In addition, I worked for over 15 years at a local independent, co-ed Catholic high school, serving as the Assistant to the Principal. I was involved in all facets of school life - Academics, Admissions, Advancement, Athletics, Counseling, Facilities and Student Life.
What is your favorite Clairbourn experience/memory that exemplifies our mission of Creating Scholars and Leaders with Heart?
Both of my girls agree that Janet Taylor taught them the life-long gift of writing. Mrs. Taylor created a positive, nuturing setting where each student was encouaged to write with clarity, passion and authenticity. In high school my daughters were four year members of the Writing Conservatory and in college, writing assigments were taken on with confidence. As adults, the guidance and wisdom they learned from Mrs. Taylor still holds true.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Clairbourn faculty and staff who consistently mentor, support and recognize the small successes and quiet leadership in the students entrusted to their care. The school is truly a very special place for our students to learn, grow and flourish, prepared for the next chapter.
