IN THE SPOTLIGHT Faculty Development On Friday, members of our Administration, Faculty, and Board of Trustees attended the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Annual Conference in Philadelphia. This conference provides educators with a platform to co-create the future with their peers and influencers, dive deep into workshops that span roles and issues, and hear from visionary speakers whose stories are inspirational and motivating. As stated in our Strategic Plan, it is our priority to invest in our faculty and their professional development. Opportunities like this fuel our teachers' creativity as they develop new and innovative programs for their students. MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSICAL G2K...
