Grand and magnificent trees are often used as symbols of the educational experience, and this is especially true for Clairbourn School. Today, we have in the center of the quad a stunning, mature, Ginkgo tree that bursts into spectacular bright yellow color every winter and covers the green lawn in its soft, leathery leaves. But, this was not the first large tree of note, on Clairbourn's campus. When the school first moved to its current location on Huntington Drive back in 1931, the dominant feature hovering over the 3.5 wooded acres was a large-scale eucalyptus tree that eventually grew to have a 12 foot diameter trunk.
