Celebrating our Faculty and Staff

Our Faculty and Staff gathered together on May 30 to celebrate the end of another amazing school year!

Heart of the School Awards

Each year, a faculty and a staff member are honored for their positive contributions to our community by receiving the "Heart of the School" award. All faculty and staff members have the opportunity to nominate their peers for their efforts in the school, involvement in additional activities beyond their role, and their positive impact on the environment, culture and climate of our school community. The Heart of the School Award recognizes two  individuals who are respectful of all - students, faculty, staff, administration, parents, alums, guests -  but who also inspire others to succeed.

A MIGHTY round of applause for Ms. Sarah Martinez, Mrs. Lisa Pawelski Rollheiser '77, and Ms. Maryrose Sheridan '18 for being voted this year’s Heart of the School award winners!
