Milestones and Recognitions

 
Our End-of-Year faculty and staff meetings follow fast on the heels of graduation: two days of group work, reports, setting up new agendas, and closing up older ones. Work in academic departments and PACE working groups brought colleagues together and feeling ready for some summer time to reflect.
 
And then, just yesterday, we had our annual end-of-year luncheon recognizing milestones and farewells. This is a wonderful occasion to acknowledge the efforts of all of our faculty and staff and recognize some of the luminaries of our school, including those with a benchmark length of service.

The life of a school is certainly about comings and goings — as each short 9-month school year ends we have occasion to celebrate not only our graduates but also our colleagues, departing and returning, all of whom I wish the brightest of futures. The life of a school is also very much about growth and change, new and renewed energy. As we all head into our summertime modes, know that I wish you and our incoming new head of school, Lise Charlier, all the very best as I head off  to the “territory ahead” and my next adventure. So long!
