which influenced her fervor of OLP and Mr. Baker’s interest
in supporting San Diego’s only all-girls’ school. Their
generosity, leadership, and dedication have touched the
lives of thousands of OLP students and alumnae.
Once again, at a pivotal moment in the school’s history, Mr.
Baker has joined in renovating and constructing facilities that
will transform the learning environment for OLP students.
As one of the leaders in the OLP community, alongside Ann
Navarra ‘63, he is making things happen. With Mr. Baker’s
commitment of $1.5 million to Boundless: The Campaign
for OLP, they will erect a new 20,000-square-foot academic
building that dramatically elevates how girls learn while
developing their artistic abilities.

To celebrate his gift, OLP will name the newest building on
campus after their beloved Catholic Saint, the St. Thérèse
Learning Center and Performing Arts Complex. The St.
Thérèse Learning Center and Performing Arts Complex
will include a multi-purpose theatre and performing arts
classrooms to accommodate the thriving programs in dance,
orchestra, drama and choral, as well as special performances,
cheer practice and so much more. It will also feature a
5,000-square-foot library and learning center, which will be
the hub for learning on campus and the largest classroom
providing a collegiate-level library experience, digital research
and technology capabilities, adaptive space for presentations
and break-out collaboration. It will also provide comfortable
quiet study nooks and separate meeting rooms.
