What's New on Campus!

What's better than a new school year? A new school year that's chock-full of new students, faculty, initiatives, programs, ideas, and more! Here's a quick look at the Top 10 highlights for the start of the 2018-2019 school year:

  • We have 135 new students on campus including six alumni children and two alumni grandchildren! The school once again set a record for the number of applications received for the 2018-2019 school year with more than 500 applicants. 
  • Fifty-three members of the Classes of 2018 and 2019 were recently named AP Scholars by the College Board. Twenty-five of the students receiving recognition were AP Scholars with Distinction.
  • The Class of 2019 has 11 Lifers, representing nearly 13 percent of our senior class.
  • Students in Grades 7 through 12, as well as faculty and staff, have been issued access cards for all buildings on campus. 
  • Our Lender Refectory has gone plastic free - including the elimination of plastic straws. And check out our new cafeteria recycling center!
  • We've adopted a new Dress Code this year, the guidelines of which were generated by students and are culturally sensitive. 
  • Welcome to our five new faculty members: athletic trainer Emily Buzzanca (not pictured), math teacer Daniel Cuneo, Lower School assistant teachers Felicia McKee and Arielle St. Arnault, and English teacher Olivia Wall.
  • Horse enthusiasts on campus will now take part in a new equestrian program established by English teacher Jennifer Manley.
  • Theatre director Karl Gasteyer created 36 sound absorption panels with the help of builder extraordinaire Richard Chiaramonte for the walls in Taylor Gymnasium.
