A Note from Mr. Barrett

Head of High School

One of the special things about this year has been the return of so much that we cherish. Not only having everyone back on campus, but also the return of sports, activities, plays, concerts, dances, tours, field trips, weekend activities, and community service evenings. The list goes on! While we offer a specialized academic program, it is important that within that, we are also a real high school, a vibrant community made up of students who are not only learners but also artists, performers, athletes, caregivers, builders, fixers, as well as dynamic problem solvers.

When a meeting ends early or there is a space in my day, my favorite activity is to simply walk the High School campus and observe. What you see is not just the beauty of our surroundings, but also the work that is performed each day in the classrooms, shops, playing fields, and dormitories. It serves as a reminder that our students bring so many gifts to our program and that we are lucky to support them and rejoice in seeing them succeed. The past year has posed challenges for so many, but has also served as a reminder that we have much to be thankful for.
