Gerda Steinitz Frieberg z”l (1925–2023) was a cherished friend of AHS and a pillar of our community whose legacy continues to inspire. A Holocaust survivor and pioneering educator, Gerda dedicated her life to bearing witness and ensuring future generations never forget. For years, she spoke to our Middle School students on Yom Hashoah—her presence at Danilack left a lasting impression on all who heard her, including many parents who came specially to listen. In 2005, she established the Gerda Frieberg Education Fund, which provided tuition subsidies to more than 450 students—an extraordinary act of generosity grounded in her personal understanding of the importance of Jewish education. Today, her great-grandchildren carry on her legacy as students at AHS.

Clifford B. Braithwaite was a beloved senior math teacher at AHS in the late 1960s and early ’70s, known for his commanding presence, deep dedication, and lasting impact on generations of students. Though not Jewish himself, Mr. Braithwaite cherished the warm sense of community he found at AHS, a connection that endured long after his retirement. In recognition of that bond, his daughter, Shirley Anne Braithwaite (1929-2016), left a transformative legacy gift of over $1 million to the school. This remarkable bequest has already supported AHS’s Day of Giving and established the C.B. Braithwaite Bursary for students pursuing post-secondary studies in math and sciences.
