Gwyndolen Harburg, Class of '94 - Thousand Oaks Campus

I attended Pincrest from 1st through 3rd grade and really enjoyed it there. I loved all the extracurricular activities available and the terrific teachers (including my mom!). I still recognize a few teachers from the old days as well. Thanks for helping to launch me into academia. I haven't left since. I received a Ph.D. in molecular biology last year and now I'm doing cancer research in Australia. (4/4//08)

I only attended from Preschool till half way through 3rd grade. After moving a couple of times I have spent the last 10 years of my life living in Tampa, Fl. I currently attend the University of South Florida where I have made so many life long friends and could not be happier. I do miss all of my friends from back in the day when I went there, and if any of them come on this site I would love to get back in contact with them. Email (2/24/08)

Riley Wagner, Class of  '07 - Thousand Oaks Campus

I went to Pinecrest from Pre-School to 6th grade. I miss everyone and Pinecrest. My new school - St. Judes is nice, but it's still not the same. I'll probably get used to it. At least there are boys at my school! I went to the Pinecrest Carnival in October. It was fun! (11/29/07)

Jean Narbonne, Former Teacher & Principal - Thousand Oaks Campus

The joy that I had in being part of this wonderful family of educators and children will always be a very special part of my heart.  As I have moved to a new adventure in teaching and learning, I know what an amazing place our Pinecrest "home" is, and take great pride in preaching the Pinecrest word wherever I go. Go Panthers! Email (8/27/07)

Alexa Johnson, Class of '06 - Thousand Oaks Campus

I had so many memories at Pinecrest from Kindergarten all the way to 6th grade!  I had so many great times there with my friends and my teachers!  Summer Camp was so fun!  I am now at La Reina and will be returning there for 8th grade.  La Reina is a great school, but I will never have as many memories there as I have had at Pinecrest!  I hope I will be able to visit soon!  GO PANTHERS!!!!!!

Stephanie Vojdani, Attended 1986-1990 - Thousand Oaks Campus

I attended Pinecrest for 'Pre-K' through second grade, years 1986-1990. Some of my teachers over those years included Mrs. Elliot, Mrs. Mickey, and Mrs. Shelford. I loved it there. I'm still in touch with my best friends! I am now 25 and living in Honolulu, HI. I am attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa working towards a degree in Psychiatry. I've also been in Real Estate for about 6 years. I absolutely loved Pinecrest- it was a great school. I remember it well. We still have some family videos (on VHS of course!) of the old Halloween costume parades and all the other special events that were held, as well as one from my Pre-School graduation there. Can you believe I actually remember wearing that yellow cap and gown, singing "That's What Friends are for?" Good times, good times... I'd love to go back and visit! Anyone who was in my class.... please feel free to contact me and say hello! Email (8/13/07)

Doreen Giamportone, Former Teacher - Thousand Oaks Campus

Do teachers count?  Pinecrest Thousand Oaks was one of my most favorite places to teach!  I so wish I was living in CA still and not NY as I would love for my children to have the wonderful opportunities that Pinecrest provides.  Love to everyone at PC TO! Email (5/5/07)

Adam Morton, Class of '06 - Thousand Oaks Campus

Loved it here. Now at Sierra Canyon, and it is great, but not as good as Pinecrest!! Hope to visit again sometime soon. Miss it there.

Jennifer Haas Roof, Class of '88 - Thousand Oaks Campus

Pinecrest is such a wonderful school with a wonderful staff. My daughter currently attends the preschool and will be attending the Elementary School in the Fall.  I have such wonderful memories from Pinecrest. I recently noticed some of the same teachers work there from when I attended almost 20 years ago! That's a sign of a great school! Email (4/9/07)

Kevin Wohlgemuth, Class of '94 - Thousand Oaks Campus

Hello Pinecrest, As of February 2007, I am at Florida State University getting my Master's Degree in Classical Archaeology and am on the road to becoming an archaeological conservator. As part of my studies, I have been back and forth to Italy every year since 2002 and will be heading back again in a few months. I doubt anyone from Pinecrest would have guessed the road I took in life, but if you ask anyone who knows me now, they would say it fits. Not too long ago, a few of us from T.O. 1994 got back in contact and it has been fascinating to learn where life has taken everyone. I can still picture everyone playing handball in the yard with not a care in the world, their eyes glistening with dreams and a promise of a gallant future. It's unbelievable to think how far I have come (and gone) in 13 years and I can't wait to hear about everyone's gallant future which has become the present. But in response to that most general of questions, "How's life?" I leave you with this: mine is still in progress. Email  (2/20/07)

Neil Chatani, Class of '98 - Thousand Oaks Campus

Dear Pinecrest - I recently discovered the Pinecrest Thousand Oaks website, and the alumni page! I am thrilled to hear about my past classmates’ ongoing success. I graduated from Viewpoint High school as a member of the Cum Laude Society and the recipient of the Arthur B. O’Leary award. I am currently attending Yale University, as part of the class of 2008. Please add my name and email to the alumni page so that my friends can contact me! (2005)
