TEACHER SPOTLIGHT

The founding principles of honor, academic distinction, and spiritual growth help build a strong sense of community. [...]teaching at a boarding school is a transformative experience for students rooted in self-discovery, which I fully take advantage of through programs like the Washington program. [...]you can create authentic experiences outside the classroom. [...]we have a Harkness discussion about Henrietta Lacks, an African American woman treated in the 1950s for cervical cancer. Relying on organizations such as the National Sci- ence Teaching Association (NSTA) and the National Association of Biology Teachers (NABT) for professional development helped me to expand my knowledge and skills.
