Alumni with Heart

Our Alumni: ALUMNI WITH HEART

After facing the challenges of the past two years, we were happy to reconnect with our alumni community in person at Homecoming in October to cheer on our athletic teams, and at the NYC networking event at the Rangers game in April. It is no surprise that we proudly say our alums put their heart in Harvey!

This past year the alumni community significantly supported their alma mater with their time, their talent, and their financial contributions. Our alums impact our community through our Class Agent program, by sharing their stories at our Cavalier Speaker Series and in our bi-annual magazine, and by participating in the Founders Day/Day of Giving celebration. We want to honor our alumni, who put their “Heart in Harvey” by always being there to support Harvey when we call on them. The pages of this report include profiles of several members of this esteemed group, and we hope they will motivate and inspire others to get involved.

IMPACT STORY Deirdre Glascott P’19

The Glascott family joined Harvey in 2014 when their son Colin was entering eighth grade. They were looking for a community where Colin would have opportunities to be challenged in the classroom and on the playing field and where they as parents could be involved. Colin had those chances — playing football and rugby and performing in Mr. Lazzaro’s Page to Stage class where he discovered a passion for acting.

Given that Colin was the youngest of four boys, Deirdre was an experienced parent who was resourceful and organized, and understood that if you wanted something done, you often had to jump in and do it. Very quickly the Harvey family tapped Deirdre to get more involved; one of Deirdre’s many challenges was to help to increase school spirit. Deirdre spent Colin’s 10th grade year traveling from sporting event to sporting event, selling spirit wear and giving out snacks. It wasn’t long before families from competing schools visiting Harvey were marveling at the enviable sense of community we had. Deirdre joined the Board of Trustees in 2016 and with that became part of the development committee, penning Annual Fund letters and connecting with potential donors, as well as becoming an admission ambassador connecting with prospective parents and hosting receptions at their home.

In addition to all of their volunteer activities, the Glascotts were also regular donors to the Annual Fund and early contributors to the Weil House & Barn building project. This year, Deirdre made the decision to retire from the board. Deirdre’s easy nature, extraordinary kindness, and generosity will be missed, but the impact that she has had on our community will be felt for years to come. Thank you, Deirdre!
