Boarding Staff

In the family-like atmosphere that is fostered in the dormitories, faculty enjoy being a part of the development of students beyond the classroom or athletic field — and both students and faculty thrive on the relationships that result. Below are the two people who administer the boarding program and those who serve as dorm parents for the students.
