from the head

Enough. This past summer, I anticipated that all of the above would dominate and become a permanent fixture during the 2020-2021 school year. We were ready to begin the fall semester prepared to focus entirely on being a full and complete “in-person” school. What we didn’t anticipate was everything else.

Some good, some bad. What I found was that I had underestimated the human element in all of this: how the boys, teachers, and parents would react and cope with COVID-19 and an in-person school experience.

I UNDERESTIMATED: The incredible need for teenagers to be with their friends. Their natural enthusiasm for things mundane and seemingly unimportant, their tendency and inclination to hang around in groups, and their affinity to “fit in” to social groupings fed their highly developed insatiable appetite to be social, to hug, laugh, share, and just be with a like-minded species. It was a joy to watch.

How much they missed their teachers, this place, and this experience. Perhaps it was just fatigue of being online too long or perhaps a deep-seated desire to be connected again to what was meaningful and deeply personal to them. They have vocalized this repeatedly throughout the fall.

How they missed the structure and the routine.

Who would have guessed that? Deep down they knew what it meant to them, despite often struggling with the reality of varying forms of rigidity and conformity. They needed those navigational beacons, those siderails, to keep them focused and on point.

Online learning has a shelf life. I have heard some pundits speak with authority about online learning being the new “new.” I don’t think that at all. It’s a substitution, an “instead of,” a sometimes-adequate replacement for the real thing. People, adolescents, NEED teachers, classmates, and the human connection. A boy cannot be truly “taught” by something or someone he doesn’t have a relationship with.

The deeper the relationship, the more learning and growth that develops.

T heir need for normalcy. Too much emotional noise and unbalance is distracting at best and harmful at worst. In order to get down to “their” business, there must be a normal environment and a core from which to operate.

Their need to “own” this experience. This is not their parents’ school. It is 100% theirs – they don’t have to share it, get permission to operate within its walls, and can choose to deflect incoming objects which invade their space. They need that. They need something to nurture and care for; they have had the reverse for far too long.

ow they can easily take their lead from H others: Not always, but most of the time, which is why it was so important that our faculty model the behavior that we need from our boys to make this year possible. Our message to them was to buy in early, don’t take any short cuts, and do not let your guard down against COVID-19. For our faculty that meant demonstrating a “calmness breeds calmness” attitude, a confident tone, and positive body language. Boys have hyper-sensory antennae and can easily detect when adults display a chaos which can create an overly emotional atmosphere. Show them a logical path and they will usually follow.

Their testosterone. Sunday afternoons, Mrs. Krieger and I cook hamburgers, brats, and chicken for any and all boys who venture to Krieger Court to play backyard hoops on our 8' - 0" tall basket. My grilling area is separate and not visible from the basketball court. I can hear but cannot see. The voices, the chants, the dog-like barks to intimidate the opposing players, and the screams of victory are primal.

My wife keeps asking “Do you think everything is OK down there?” “Oh, it’s more than OK,” I assure her, “That’s why the Army takes them at 18.” No wonder that some teenage girls can quickly get bored with their seemingly primitive behavior.

CHARACTER COURAGE &

FAITH

HOW A CAMPUS THRIVES AMID A PANDEMIC

It took a village to get us ready and adapt our campus to a COVID-19 world. There were many factors contributing to our success: a 500-acre campus relatively isolated from surrounding communities and offering endless opportunities for campus-wide activities; a small and collaborative administration that is not afraid to lean on experts and authorities; an energetic and innovative faculty; and a community of boys who truly value each other’s company and are willing to do whatever it takes to be together.

1 COLLABORATION

“The lessons learned from

8

this pandemic continue to make the experience of boarding school stronger.”

– Ron Ramsey, Principal

Last spring when the school made the call to move to remote learning after Spring Break, Christ School’s administration began to chart a course forward. Headmaster Paul Krieger, Principal Ron Ramsey, Director of Human Resources and Facilities Danny Elmer P’09, P’13, and Head Nurse Monique Usher consulted multiple resources, including the Center for Disease Control, North Carolina Health and Human Services, and Buncombe County Health Department, as well as other independent school, to see what they were up against while they considered various scenarios.

“We were very collaborative in the spring,” Nurse Diedra Mohney P’23 said. “We bounced ideas off of each other and it was nice to have the support of people who were facing the same challenges we were.”

Ron Ramsey said that the biggest challenge was reading and deciphering all of the guidelines from various organizations: government, state, education, and athletic. Ramsey discovered that the procedures and guidelines outlined by the American Camping Association (ACA) were most helpful. “Those were the first organizations that most resembled us and so a lot of what we put into place on our campus was adapted from the ACA. By mid-summer there were a lot of other schools and organizations pointing back to ACA.” step

2 PREPARATION Although many of the schools we conferred with were moving toward a partial online/partial in-person model for teaching in the fall, Christ School families were strongly in favor of 100%

in-person instruction. So, the next challenge was preparing the campus to make that happen, which involved everyone from our Purchasing and Bookstore Manager Cissy Elmer P’09, P’13 to our maintenance crew.

Last summer, as supplies became more and more scarce, securing PPE (personal protective equipment) as well as the other necessary cleaning supplies became Cissy’s mission. She began scouring the internet for gloves and masks. “I felt like all I did was search for PPE, and it is really hard to get. It’s all coming from China, so the pipeline shut down and all of the prices went through the roof,” Cissy said. “You really have to work hard to find a decent price and somebody that has some in stock.” Cissy and the nurses expressed their gratitude for several CS families who donated supplies.

Next, was the decision to streamline our chemical supply chain by switching to Cintas, a company with a reputation for serving large organizations such as Harrah’s Cherokee Casino, Sierra Nevada, and many schools in North and South Carolina, We contracted them to not only set up cleaning stations but also keep them fully stocked, making it more efficient for our cleaning crew to keep our campus clean.

“That was important because they have all the federally mandated chemicals that are specific for killing Covid and SARS,” Cissy said. Each classroom required wipes and spray disinfectant, and everyone would need gloves and masks.

“We did four different custom masks, one with the Greenie logo, a less expensive slip-on mask and then two buffs or gaiters, which are available from the bookstore.”

We also beefed up our janitorial staff and ramped up our cleaning schedule. “We have about three times the number of cleaning people that we have had in the past and the goal is that every day every hard surface, handrail, and doorknob gets wiped down at least twice,” Elmer said. As soon as classes are over, every classroom and public space is fumigated with disinfectant.

When it became apparent that some of our international students would have difficulty returning to campus, we built on what we learned last spring with remote learning and our IT department, along with Dean of Curriculum and Instruction Bryan Martin and Director of

Media Services and Strategy Ross Weathersbee ’10, found a teleconferencing video system that worked with Microsoft Teams. Cameras were installed in every classroom so that teachers would have the ability to stream and record every class. “Once we looked at how we are going to do those things, we went to how are we going to structure the classrooms, looking at reducing section sizes and increasing spacing between students.” Ramsey said.

The Wellness Center had to come up with a plan as well. “We mainly focused on how are we going to set it up to contain infection,” Usher said. “We had to look at the space and resources we had and look at it with fresh eyes to see how we could repurpose it,” Mohney said. Their solution was to partition the space to separate healthy students in front and sick students in the back. They also repurposed an empty faculty house as a quarantine house for sick students who couldn’t return home. Finally, with a shortage of drivers able to take sick boys to the doctor, they hired Range Urgent Care, a mobile paramedic who can make house calls and confer in real time with an on-call physician. “They come and do visits every day and see at least one or two kids; they do tele health appointments and, if necessary, the boys can be tested for COVID-19 while they are here,” Usher said. step

3 INNOVATION Never was necessity the mother of invention more than in the final weeks before the boys returned to campus. Our maintenance crew of Brian Willems and Reed Fornoff, as well as Leigh Harris, designed and built approximately 150 plexiglass dividers to be placed around campus in Stolz Hall, classrooms, and offices. Willems also constructed an outdoor “take-out” style window in the front of the Wellness Center for dispensing medicine. (The Krieger’s dog, Murphy, uses the

window every morning to get a treat from the nurses.) Beth Krieger P’09, P’12 identified several outdoor spaces that would function as open-air classrooms and set them up with chairs and tents. Director of Activities George Revercomb developed a dizzying array of fun on-campus activities to keep boarding students entertained throughout the weekends, including Spikeball, Cornhole, Glow-in-the-dark Capture the Flag, Slip & Slide, Laser Tag, fishing tournaments, Krieger Court tournaments, and Manhunt, a game where whoever finds Mr. Ramsey in the woods wins a prize (he has yet to be found). step

4 REGISTRATION This year there was an extra week built into the registration schedule, allowing faculty to get up to speed with classroom prep and cleaning, enforcing Covid rules including mask wearing and social distancing, and mastering the new technology we were implementing this year.

“It was all hands on deck with faculty coming in and cleaning and reorganizing classrooms,” said Ramsey. “Before school opened up, we did a kind of ‘big job’ for adults; you had guys moving desks, people cleaning, and folks helping out other people with tech stuff,” Elmer said. “I think everyone knew that to be successful we would have to work together.”

To begin the year with a clean and healthy slate, everyone had to pass a Covid test before arriving. “Working with consultants, medical professionals, and a local lab we mailed almost 300 Covid tests and had them processed before registration,” said Ramsey. We also instituted a staggered re-entry and assigned time slots for students, spreading out arrival times throughout an entire week. Although implemented to allow for social distancing, this schedule worked so well that it may become a new standard. “The lessons learned from this pandemic continue to make the experience of boarding school stronger,” said Ramsey. Other

safety measures were put in place including temperature checks for anyone entering campus.

Early sports’ preseason was shortened, and everyone held their breath waiting for NCISAA (North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association) guidelines concerning athletic competitions. Following their protocols, which aligned with Governor Roy Cooper’s mandates, we were cleared to play football and soccer matches and hold cross country meets in late August; eventually parents were allowed to cheer on their sons from the sidelines. step

5 CONVOCATION With a fully enrolled school, Headmaster Paul Krieger presided over Convocation, the official opening of school, on Sunday, August 30. For the first time in his 20 years as headmaster, this event was moved outside the Chapel onto the hallowed grounds of Yard A, where students could sit six feet apart. “I see a lot of character, courage, and faith in front of me, and I want to wish you luck this year,” Krieger said.

“Remember you are not at school, you are at Christ School. It is our duty and responsibility, our mission, to do this together, to stay together, and to make this year happen.”

The students bought in, took the charge, and made it happen, getting us through the first semester with the new norm of social distancing, masks, and frequent hand washing. “I think the boys have sacrificed what they want for the good of the community,” Mohney said. “When we played our first football and soccer game the boys knew it was only possible because of everybody doing their part. And we continue to build on those successes,” Ramsey said.

6 REEVALUATION Why were we successful when a number of schools who opened this fall to in-person instruction had to backtrack? “The reason we are still here is because of everyone being willing to do what is asked and trying their best to make a go of it,” Ramsey said. “I think it goes back to teamwork and a community where everybody is willing to pitch in,” Elmer said. “Everybody going the extra mile – that has been the secret sauce.” In an e-mail he sent to faculty before Thanksgiving Break, Krieger sent the following message, “Halftime Score: Christ School-1, Covid-0.” n

“I see a lot of character, courage, and faith in front of me, and I want to wish you luck this year.”

Steve Chester

Jesse Breite Position: Instructor, English Jesse Breite brings with him more than 16 years of experience teaching many varieties of high school English courses in Atlanta, Baltimore, and Chicago. Breite has also coached basketball every year he has taught.

At Christ School, he says he most enjoys the “in-between times” like the open mic nights he hosts between dinner and study hall on Wednesdays and Thursdays. “At most schools, this would not work, but the discipline of the schedule and its in-between times have allowed time to meet, shape, and participate in community,” says Breite.

He attended Concordia University in Chicago and then received his MA in English from Middlebury College. Breite’s hobbies include poetry reading and writing, among other things.

His poetry has been published in various magazines and journals and he has also written libretto for three of Atlanta composer Michael Kurth’s scores.

Breite and his wife, Emily, have two children, Deacon and Vivienne.

Steve Chester Position: Instructor, History Steve Chester attended high school in the mountains of western North Carolina and moving back to the area was a priority for his family. “You know how you build things up in your mind and oftentimes they don’t live up to the expectations?” asks Chester. “That is absolutely not the case here. We are so happy to be back in NC and living in the mountains again.”

Chester draws upon more than a decade of teaching experience with his history students.

He specializes in American, classical, and Modern European history. He previously worked at schools in Georgia, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

At Christ School, Chester has been amazed at how quickly he felt at home. “It only took a few weeks to feel like I’d been here for years.”

Chester graduated from Avery County High School before going on to receive his BA from UNC-Chapel Hill and an MS from the University of Pennsylvania.

James Garland ’10 Position: Assistant Director of Admission Ten years after his own graduation from Christ School, James Garland has returned as Assistant Director of Admission. He is a dorm parent in Gardner House and an assistant JV basketball coach.

“When I arrived back in Arden this past April, there were still enough faculty members from my time as a student to make it feel like home but also new community members that have done a phenomenal job of carrying on our rich tradition of hard work and humility,” says Garland. “I hope to do the same and more for the next generation of Greenies.”

Garland is a former Headmaster’s Cup winner who attended Christ School for four years.

During that time, he was active in the Theater Department and played basketball.

“With every passing day that I’m back in western NC, I’m reminded of the sights and

sounds that make this part of the country so popular. There really isn’t anything comparable to an Asheville fall.”

Will Gordon Position: Instructor, Learning Resources and English Will Gordon says he wants to empower his students inside and outside the classroom in his first year as a Learning Resources and English teacher at Christ School.

Gordon graduated from Clemson University in May 2020 with a BA in English and minors in Film and Sports Communication. “I knew that I would love working with the students, and that has absolutely been the case,” says Gordon. “I’m also surprised and impressed by how welcome and helpful all of the staff has been to me and other new faculty. It does not go unappreciated!”

Gordon looks forward to exploring more of Asheville once pandemic protocols allow, but he admits his love for Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack (a restaurant next to campus) grows by the day.

Matt Houston Position: Instructor, Mathematics Matt Houston may be a newcomer to the Christ School Math Department, but he is well-seasoned as an instructor after 10 years as an associate professor at Middle Georgia State University. Houston earned his BS and MS degrees from Tennessee Tech University. He received a PhD in Math from the University of Georgia in 2018.

Houston says, “I have been so excited to share my love of math and engineering with the students. My teaching style encourages students to ask questions, and I believe in holding space for students to navigate their own learning experience to discover their untapped potential.” He and his wife, Melissa, a local artist, enjoy reading, exploring local historical sites, and taking in the mountains.

Jeremy Jacobs Position: Instructor, Science From his days as Head Prefect in high school, Jeremy Jacobs knows what it is like to lead.

Jacobs is a new instructor in the Science Department and dorm parent in South Carolina House. His coaching duties include baseball and football.

“So far, the dorm has easily been the best part of my time here,” says Jacobs. “I’ve loved getting to know my guys and coming up with cool ways to stay entertained on the weekends.

Between baking and watching horror movies to playing games, the boys have helped the ‘inner child’ in me run free!”

“Of all the boarding schools I’ve ever interacted with, none have been able to match the sense of brotherhood I see here. These guys look after one another, and from my experience, that’s a pretty rare thing.”

Jacobs was the Head Prefect and varsity baseball captain his senior year (2016) at Hill School in Pottstown, PA, the same school all three of his brothers attended.

Michael Karp Position: Instructor, Mathematics No longer a rival, Michael Karp expects big things moving forward for Greenies in the classroom and on the basketball court.

Karp joins Christ School’s staff as an assistant basketball coach as well as teaching Algebra I. He has been involved in education for five years and previously taught and coached at Carolina Day School and Seacrest Country Day School in Naples, FL. He graduated from the University of Mississippi with a BA in Mathematics and a minor in Education.

He says of the Greenies, “The thing that initially surprised me the most was how open students are to feedback from their teachers and coaches – specifically the guys on the varsity basketball team. Our players don’t take feedback from the coaches as a put down or a slight at their abilities, but instead an avenue to improve and become the best versions of themselves.”

Karp and his fiancée, McKenzie, who works at Christ School as a nurse, love the outdoors and take every possible moment to hike, bike, and more in the mountains.

Wesley King Position: Instructor, Learning Resources Wesley King joins the community as Christ School’s Head Varsity Baseball Coach and member of the Learning Resources Department.

King has been involved in education since 2003 and has taught in North Carolina and South Carolina schools. As for Christ School, he’s been most impressed by the “family feel” the school has and the care that each person puts into making the campus a great place for students.

Coaching-wise, King looks forward to baseball season. “We have a really good group of guys who believe in each other and they have been working very hard in our off-season development program. We plan to make a deep, legitimate run in the playoffs.”

King and wife Kelli have two sons, Sawyer and Cason.

Wyatt Long Position: Instructor, Learning Resources and English Wyatt Long join Christ School as a Learning Resources and English instructor and will also coach in the Greenie Lacrosse Program.

“I have enjoyed every second of my time here,” says Long. “The seemingly endless beautiful hiking areas, the warm and friendly people, and the bohemian vibrance of Asheville have provided me with everything I could ever need. There are few places in the country with as much to offer as Western North Carolina, and I look forward to continuing to explore the area in the future.”

Long graduated magna cum laude with a BA in English from Hartwick College in 2019.

After that, he returned to his high school alma mater (Blair Academy in Blairstown, NJ) to work in communications and coach lacrosse.

“It became immediately apparent to me how dedicated, hardworking, and talented the boys are,” says Long of the lacrosse team. “The team has tremendous leadership and character from top to bottom and is poised to continue to be successful this season and beyond.”

Hamid Najafi Position: Instructor, Mathematics and Science Hamid Najafi joins the Christ School community as a math and science instructor.

Najafi has taught locally as an adjunct professor at A-B Tech Community College and Blue Ridge Community College, where he won the 2019 Extra Mile Award. His professional experience in engineering and as a manager date back to 1983. From 2002 to 2010, he worked as a real estate developer, overseeing the construction of one of the first all-inclusive executive office suites in the county.

Najafi and his wife, Cindy, just celebrated their 40th anniversary. They have two adult children, Dani and Christian. The family enjoys spending time on Pawley’s Island and watching the Clemson Tigers play, no matter the opponent.

Steve Stay Position: Registrar and Assistant to the Headmaster Steven Stay and his family moved to Christ School from Qatar, where he worked in education. The move was anything but normal during the pandemic, but he says it has only been a positive experience to settle in. “Just seeing green trees and experiencing seasons again has been wonderful,” says Stay.

They’ve enjoyed discovering the towns surrounding Asheville, getting involved in their church community, and discovering beautiful places to hike. “We’re very happy to be here to stay.”

Stay and his wife, Rachel, have four children.

He began his career as a middle and junior high school counselor in Carthage, MO, before spending eight years in the Middle East.

Stay received his BS in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic from Brigham Young University in 2006 and an MA in School Counseling from Ohio State University in 2009.

Jonny Wangrin Position: Assistant Dean of Students Christ School’s new Assistant Dean of Students is a former state Soccer Player of the Year from Georgia. Jonny Wangrin brings with him not only a successful background on the field, but a keen interest in the inner workings of an organization.

Wangrin is currently the head coach and program director of the Asheville City Soccer Club’s AC Academy Program, which trains high-level high school players in the area.

At Christ School, he finds inspiration in, “the amount of talented people on staff and enrolled at our school. It really pushes you to come to work every day with an attitude to be your best, but more importantly, to actively try to be better.” He finds similarities between his roles coaching players on the field and managing students on campus as Assistant Dean.

Wangrin is married to Katie, a local realtor, and the couple live in the area with their two dogs. n

HOWLEY

Kennedy Achugamonu ’23, from Arlington, VA, was intrigued by the video footage of Christ School that he had seen online. A year later, nothing beats walking around campus each day and calling himself a Greenie. Lou Eesiah ’24 had a similar reaction when he traveled across the state to Christ School from his native Greensboro, NC. A semester of classes later, the Arden campus is home.

“My expectations have been exceeded in every way,” Kennedy said. “Everything is so nice here and the people are very friendly.” Kennedy and Lou are first-year students whose high school education has been made possible by the Howley Foundation, which added Christ School to its nationwide network of schools for the 2020-21 academic year. To be selected for a Howley Foundation scholarship, students must demonstrate proficiency in the classroom and be active in extracurricular activities.

Nick and Lorie Howley formed the Howley Foundation in 2001, with the intent to help students receive the best education possible, regardless of their economic means. The Howleys began by providing one high school scholarship to Cleveland Catholic and have

since grown the Howley Scholars Program to more than 600 students (primarily in the Cleveland and Philadelphia areas), and even to college students throughout the United States.

“I’ve made a lot of good friends and I’m enjoying the staff,” Lou said. “The scholarship is an amazing opportunity, and I am truly grateful to the Howley family for giving me the chance to come to this amazing community.

This opens up a lot of options for me, not only in academics, but also for my athletic career, that I wish to continue.”

“Words can’t explain my appreciation to the Howley family,” Kennedy said. “I've enjoyed finding my way around and everyone I’ve met has been really helpful. I’m looking forward to my future at Christ School.” n

YOUNG MEN OF DISTINCTION

Nick Crowley ’22, from Peterborough, Ontario, had to make a tough choice two years ago: whether to continue to play hockey or pursue lacrosse year-round. He chose lacrosse and became a Greenie, joining fellow Canadians Keese Zugehoer ’21 and Sam Brie ’21 on the varsity squad. He grew up in a lacrosse family.

“I have two older brothers, Cam and Ben, who attend Fleming College in Peterborough, and a younger sister, Claire, and we all grew up playing lacrosse,” Nick said. Eventually Nick joined a club team that traveled to the states to compete in tournaments in Baltimore and Maryland. He heard that Christ School had a strong lacrosse program and liked what he saw when he visited.

“There was a good support system academically and I knew it would be a good opportunity.”

Since arriving on campus, Nick started spending more time in the gym and discovered that he liked strength training. His hard work has paid off. He committed to the Princeton University lacrosse program in September.

The process was swift. “I first heard from their coaches on Monday and by the weekend I was committed,” Nick said. “I know a couple of people going there and I know they are pretty rich in lacrosse and it’s obviously a really good school.”

Nick, who began enjoying literature and writing last year, claims to have approached all challenges with a can-do philosophy.

“Academically and physically I never really thought there was a situation where anyone had the advantage,” said Nick. “It was just who was willing to work harder. I think that was

something that fueled me: you never give up.”

Although the Christ School lacrosse season was short last spring, there was plenty of time for Head Lacrosse Coach Benjie Colberg to appreciate his skills. “Nick’s combination of talent and work ethic make him a great role model on and off the lacrosse field. He’s constantly striving to push himself to be better than he was the day before.” His advisor, Jack Fader, adds, “as someone who’s been able to spend time with Nick both as an advisor and a coach, the thing that stands out to me the most is his quiet confidence. His peers and teammates look to him as an example of how to excel in all areas at Christ School. He has time for everyone, and never lets the attention that comes with being a star athlete get in the way of his friendships.” n

WILLIAM DAVID ’21 William David ’21 is grateful for the experience he has had at Christ School. “The school has the best teachers a student could hope for, as well as offering the flexibility to allow for my large commitments off campus,” William said.

Recently named a National Merit Semifinalist, a designation given to less than one percent of high school seniors in the United States, William said he has been most passionate and focused on environmental education and service, as well as addressing inequity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education and outdoors opportunities for disadvantaged students.

William said he discovered his love of engineering through his involvement in the FIRST Robotics Competition Program based at UNC-Asheville, where he serves as a student leader. “I began Future Builders STEM Education and Mentorship, to share my enthusiasm about robotics, as well as provide opportunities and support to disadvantaged students. Future Builders After School includes robotics, tutoring and homework help, and a mentorship program. We later added summer programs and expanded to serve new groups such as Girls STEM and the Eastern Band of the Cherokee.” Future Builders After School and Summer Programs provide STEM education and mentorship to 180 disadvantaged students each

year and their volunteer staff of 10-12 students has volunteered over 1800 hours.

“In 2019 I met my long-term goal to move Future Builders STEM Summer program outdoors. We provided an outdoor adventure trip each week which included environmental science education, outdoor skills and experiences, exercise, and fresh air. The most poignant and memorable moment for me was when our Future Builders hiked to the top of Mt. Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi. The students were so exhilarated and proud to reach 6,684 feet and search the view for familiar landmarks. This is the most personally rewarding thing I have ever done, and I am thrilled and grateful to be able to provide this program to our students,” William said.

In addition to engineering, William is passionate about photography, digital art, graphic design, 3D modeling, filmmaking, and music production. “I have been fascinated by the merge between engineering and art in these disciplines,” William said. “Because I have not been able to safely film during the pandemic, I used the time to do more drone photography and to study and master more difficult film editing techniques. I also learned new creation tools and technologies including graphic design, 3D modeling, and animation.” He has begun creating commissioned album artwork for musicians in multiple countries. “I am loving the challenge and collaboration with those artists to capture visuals to go with their music,” William said.

In the future, William hopes to utilize his engineering education to improve the lives of people and our planet. “I want to synthesize my love of science with my desire to improve the world. In addition to an engineering education, I want to further develop myself as an educator, advocate, and even as an artist and filmmaker, remaining open to how my skills can be utilized and combined to positively impact the world.”

The Asheville resident has previously won the Congressional Award Gold Medal, the William T. Hornaday Silver Medal in Conservation (the rarest award bestowed by the Boy Scouts of America), a Captain Planet Earth Day Award from the National Society of High School Scholars and was named a 2019 International Eco-Hero by the nonprofit Action for Nature. In addition, William has received Western North Carolina Regional Scholastic Art Awards. n

YOUNG MEN OF DISTINCTION

Identical twins Luke ’22 and Sanford Gardner ’22 are inseparable and hard to tell apart. The younger brothers of Miles ’20, who is a freshman at the University of Chicago, they both tell the story of a terrifying drive to school on their first day of eighth grade, as Miles scared them with fabricated stories of hazing and bullying. Looking back now as juniors they laugh at how gullible they were and marvel at how seamlessly they assimilated to becoming Greenies.

They both had plans to play football, but soon switched to soccer. “My options were to not play football or to gain a lot of weight and get big and that didn’t sound too fun, so I decided to change sports,” Sanford said. Luke was sidelined this fall after being diagnosed with a knee condition that required several surgeries.

They are both Eagle Scouts, peer tutors, members of the Medical Interest Club and Chess Club and service award winners. Sanford is a member of Honor Council and Veterans’ Service Club, while Luke is an acolyte. “Ninety percent of the decisions I’ve made at CS were purely made so I could talk to more people.

That’s something that brings me so much joy,” Luke said. Both brothers compete at Quiz Bowl. “I don’t do it because I’m good or bad, it’s a place I socialize and it’s fun to test your trivia knowledge,” Luke said. “I’m all right at trivia,” said Luke “but I really do it to be social. I sign up for whatever gets me talking to people.”

It’s no surprise that they both excel in math and science; their parents are internal medicine doctors. Both boys skipped the early 8th grade prerequisites and are now close to completing the entire science curriculum. “I really did excel in science this year,” Sanford said. “I’m taking two AP sciences and I think I’ll have them all done by the time I graduate.” “In fifth grade I was kind of a dud of a student,” said Luke. “I guess I kicked it into third gear and since then I’ve excelled in science and

math.” And although Sanford said he had a bit of a freshman slump, he was able to turn it around sophomore year, which he partially attributes to his brother. “I guess it comes with the competitive nature of having someone as good as you that pushes you to be better,” Sanford said. “I think we push each other to our maximum potential.”

They both want to become doctors but are open to the possibility that they may attend different colleges. “Although there’s a good chance that we will go to the same college since we have taken the same courses, gotten the same grades and are shooting at the same level,” Luke said. “I think if one of us kills it in the admission process, we’re not going to take a step down to be with each other. It’s not going to be the deciding factor.” Sanford added “there a thousand ways to become a doctor, so I’m not worried about college.”

The two, who share a room and have never been apart more than a week, genuinely enjoy each other’s company. They both struggle to put into words what it means to be a twin. “It’s like living with your best friend who you don’t fight with and who knows everything about you,” said Sanford. “I love it,” Luke said. “It’s like being married but without the romantic aspect. If you think of a couple 16 years in who really knows each other and have shared all the same formative experiences, that’s what it’s like. If I had to attribute one reason for my success, it’s having a twin.”

As for lesser-known facts about the two, Sanford is an avid Lebron James fan and has been known to look up Vegas odds on sports teams and make small bets with his friends via text. Luke, who won the Art Award freshman year, dabbles in oil painting, often painting album covers. “We really are a duo,” Luke said.

He added “but we’re not the same person. He’s a little less ruthless and I plan a little more.

He’s much more nonchalant, and I’m an inch taller.” n

push and challenge you. “Surrounding yourself with people who have like-minded goals and with people who will challenge you will make you a much better person,” Painter said. An environment of healthy competition is the very thing that attracted him to Christ School when he made the move at the end of his sophomore year. “I was looking for a great place academically and a place that would push me on the football field as well.”

Painter, whose hometown is Hillsborough, NC, has been playing football since fourth grade. Committed to play football at Dartmouth College in the fall, he was one of the Greenie offense’s biggest weapons on this year’s state championship-winning team and was one of the top receiving threats. According to Coach Luhm, “Painter brought the same relentless work ethic, positive attitude, and confidence to every game and practice. He has high expectations for himself and works hard to reach those goals. He was the quintessential leader every team needs.”

Painter has also distinguished himself in the classroom, earning a weighted 4.6 grade-point average. “I value every day here; the teachers are amazing, and I actually want to go to class,” said Painter. His favorite class has been AP Environmental Science and hopes to pursue Environmental Studies at Dartmouth.

He credits the support of his family and hard work with his success. “I love pushing myself and being around others who want to succeed.” He also acknowledges his roommate and teammate, Cade Mintz ’21, for pushing him in the weight room. “We’re pretty competitive in everything we do,” Painter said.

“We put in a lot of early morning workouts; it’s tough, but it’s fun.”

Painter’s enthusiasm for Christ School is infectious and no doubt the reason he was named the school’s Spirit Liaison last spring.

“I try to build excitement around the games and increase school spirit.” While he’s looking forward to the future, he has valued every moment as a Greenie. “Christ School is great; I love it,” Painter said. “I might cry a little at graduation.” n

FOOTBALL

Christ School’s 2020 football season would prove to be historic. But it started with high hopes and just as many questions. A strong group of team leaders kept everyone focused, engaged, and excited about pushing for the program’s first-ever state championship during a global pandemic.

The senior captains – Cade Mintz ’21, Charlie Browder ’21, Ian Adams ’21, and Lex Long ’21 – helped lead team meetings, organize events, and all season long led by example through their stellar work ethic and personalities, coach Nick Luhm said. When preseason camp began back in August, it was not certain how many games the team would even get to play due to COVID-19.

The number ended up being eight games, culminating with a 55-21 rout of visiting Harrells Christian Academy in the NCISAA Division II championship final on Nov. 20.

Christ School football adopted “Adapt, improvise, and overcome” as its motto.

After starting the year with back-to-back losses, the Greenies (6-2) were able to rattle off six consecutive wins and earn themselves the NCISAA Division II crown.

“From the very beginning it was apparent this squad was full of talent; but like a lot of teams, it needed to find its identity,” Coach Luhm said. “After the first two games, some leaders started to step up as well as some of the younger players started to come into their own and a sense of identity began to emerge.

What eventually came into focus was a sense of camaraderie and brotherhood. This group of guys realized they had a lot of fun playing with each other and in turn they really started to push each other in practice. Once everyone started to come together, there was nothing that could stop this team.”

Above: Cade Mintz ’21 (11) and Painter Richards-Baker ’21 (14) were two of the senior leaders for Christ School's football team.

2020 State Champions

The first win of the year (38-35 at Rabun Gap, GA, on Oct. 17) allowed the Greenies to avenge their Week One loss to the eventual NCISAA Division I runner-up Eagles, and it proved to everyone what the talent on the roster could do when everyone worked together. This tight-knit bunch of Greenies then went on to beat Metrolina Christian, Asheville School, High Point Christian, Trinity Christian, and Harrells Christian in consecutive weeks.

An added bonus to the win streak was setting an all-time school record for margin of victory in “The Game,” by beating Asheville School, 63-7, on Halloween. First-year quarterback A.J. Simpkins ’22 led the entire state of North Carolina with 1,888 passing yards.

Charlie (University of Central Florida), Ian (The Citadel), Lex (University of Virginia), and Painter Richards-Baker ’21 (Dartmouth College) had already made college commitments by early-December, with more expected in the coming months for the Greenies. n

SOCCER

Never Give Up Records can be deceiving and coach Guy Campbell ’00 believes that was the case with the 2020 Christ School soccer team.

The Greenies ended the year with four wins and nine losses. Highlights included winning the program’s first playoff game since 2017 (4-0 at Charlotte Christian on Oct. 27) and playing what Coach Campbell viewed as the toughest regular-season schedule in the NCISAA 4-A classification.

“This was no doubt one of the most talented teams I’ve had in my 10 years as the head coach,” Coach Campbell said.

“The record is what it is, and we own that as a program. We could have scheduled a softer schedule, but we chose to play the best teams.

The coaching staff had all the confidence that this year’s team could compete with the best teams. Sometimes in sports, as in life, things don’t always go your way. This group had a great attitude all fall and never gave up. We had a great group of seniors who showed tremendous leadership with a such a young roster.”

The team was led by four captains – Carson Campbell ’21, Tyler Bell ’21, Ethan Rose ’24, and Truett Compton ’25. Carson led the team in scoring with 14 points (five goals and four assists) and was named to the NCISAA 4-A all-state and All-Carolinas Athletic Association teams. n

Training with Heart The 2020 cross country season was anything but ordinary for Christ School runners. With fewer meets, limited entries, staggered starts, and racecourses devoid of fans, the season could have been a loss. But thanks to dedicated captains Cade Rodriguez ’21, Rocky Hansen ’23, and Jackson Burch ’22, the team remained upbeat and trained with heart – and when it was time to step to the starting line, the team raced hard.

In mid-October, the team finished third in the Carolinas Athletic Association championship meet held at Christ School, and then ran well for sixth place at the NCISAA 4-A state meet on Halloween.

Throughout the season, the trio of Rocky, Jackson, and Dawson Reeves ’24 put up impressive 5-kilometer times. Rocky ran 16:03 to win a regular-season CAA meet at Asheville Christian Academy. His time was the sixthfastest ever on the course and the fastest ever for an underclassman. Dawson and Jackson finished fifth and ninth, respectively, at the NCISAA state meet to earn all-state honors.

Overcoming an injury and cross training for most of the fall, Jack Cross ’22 ran a 61-second

Matthew Luke ’22, Kaleb Belle ’24, Rhodes Feild ’23, and Greyson Harris ’22 were important contributors as well, giving 100 percent from the first day of preseason in August to the final practice.

Though the team will miss its seniors (Cade, Ben Capel ’21, and Jackson Swango ’21), the future is bright. Underclassmen fill the top-10 spots, and the whole Greenie squad is driven by teamwork and the will to improve in 2021. n

ASHEVILLE WEEK SCHOOL

The campus is never greener than the week leading up to The Game. This year an outdoor Senior Assembly on Yard A kicked off the week, followed by Blue Bum and banner making in the dorms, breakfast treats on Alumni Plaza, the Senior Faculty basketball game, a bonfire, and fireworks. With fewer fans in the bleachers, The Game looked a little different – our Greenie cheering section was relegated to the amphitheater on the other side of the Holly Hedge and in the dorms, Stotz Hall, and Student Center, where it was streamed and commentated

by CSBN (Christ School Broadcast Network) – and the resounding 63-7 victory was celebrated on the field and throughout campus.

30

Cade Mintz ’21 had just snaked his way 72 yards down the field for one of Christ School’s nine touchdowns when he spiked the football in the end zone closest to Noland House and Young House.

The touchdown celebration was a metaphor for the 94th installment of “The Game.”

Christ School has now beaten Asheville School 40 times in the history of the oldest high school rivalry in the Carolinas, but never as emphatically as this year. The Greenies set school records for points and margin of victory over the Blues in a 63-7 home win that had a running clock for the entirety of the second half.

It was also Christ School’s ninth consecutive win in the series (a record for either school). Afterwards, head coach Nick Luhm dedicated the game to retiring Headmaster Paul Krieger by handing him the Fayssoux-Arbogast Trophy which has not left campus since 2011.

The Greenies (3-2) needed just two plays from scrimmage to score a touchdown in the first half, and only one play to score in the second half.

A.J. Simpkins ’22 threw touchdown passes to Cade (72 yards) and Charlie Browder ’21 (6 yards), and fellow junior Bryce Sain ’22 accounted for a pair of rushing scores (2 and 29 yards). Painter Richards-Baker ’21 had a 71-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Tray Mauney ’23 on the final play of the third quarter. Tray also connected with Gabe Berardi ’22 for a 50-yard touchdown pass and plowed in for a 7-yard quarterback keeper touchdown.

Fernando Machuca ’22 nailed all nine of his extrapoint attempts.

The all-time series record in the Christ SchoolAsheville School rivalry now stands at 50-40-4 in the Blues’ favor. The Greenies have won 17 of the 20 meetings between the two rivals since Mr. Krieger first arrived on campus in 2000.

The Consequence of

32

the great outdoors THE OUTDOOR PROGRAM

by Jack Lynch

We live in a world that is inundated with risk.

Living as members of society binds us to the odd chance that we may one day slip on our walk down the stairs or rear-end someone in the grocery store parking lot. We are thrust into these circumstances, often against our will, simply as a byproduct of existing in this world. As 2020 has made exceedingly clear, there are also risks that we must contend with whose consequences are more dire still.

Yet over the course of my adult life I have witnessed a puzzling trend. While our world has become increasingly fraught, the American childhood has become increasingly devoid of risk. More and more often our young people, particularly our young men, are deprived of the freedom to take controlled risks with mentors

they can trust. Perhaps this trend first manifested with the changes to our playgrounds: when the tall steel slides and wooden splinter-box castles of my childhood gave rise to the rubberized and height restricted variety. Some risk was certainly eliminated, but perhaps this was at the cost of something more. Or maybe this trend began when children stopped walking home from school, or when their schedules became increasingly cluttered. In truth, the loss of risk from the American childhood is born of all these things and many more. But what do we lose when our children are no longer exposed to risk in their youth? It is my fear that when they enter the adult world and the consequences of their actions are much higher, they may lack a frame of reference for what constitutes an appropriate risk vs. a truly dangerous one. It is for this reason that one of my goals as a coach within the Outdoor Program at Christ School is to administer a much-needed dose of controlled risk to my students. If risk will always be with us, why not face it head on with a caring mentor at your side?

It is not hyperbole to say that COVID-19 has changed nearly every facet of our daily lives.

The Outdoor Program at Christ School was no exception. Heeding the advice of our public health experts, we agreed that all outdoor sports needed to be based on campus until conditions improved. Thus, “Backpacking” became “Outdoor Living Skills” and Leigh Harris and I began planning for an unprecedented semester.

Thankfully, we are immensely fortunate to be the stewards of a 500+ acre campus that is home to rolling meadows, dense pine forests, verdant glades, and crystal streams.

Since those first tentative days in late August, our small band of explorers in Outdoor Living Skills has navigated many risks, all while weighing the relative consequences. Our boys have harnessed the power of fire, learned how to cook a meal with pocket-sized stoves, constructed shelters from rope and tarp, and hewn new trails from

33

our wooded hillsides. They have slept under the swaying white pines of our own forests here on campus, rising at dawn to coax the fire to life. As Mr. Harris and I suspected, our boys did not need to bag 6000-foot peaks to become knowledgeable stewards of the natural world. All it took was a bit of creativity and a good bale of twine.

Perhaps the greatest joy I receive as a coach is in knowing that the young men who graduate from the Outdoor Program at Christ School are better protected against a world of abundant risk and dire consequence. When other young men who have never heard the Angelus bell toll struggle to navigate a complex world, Greenies like my students will lend a hand and show the way. n

“While our world has become increasingly fraught, the American childhood has become increasingly devoid of risk.”

beyond the gate house FROM THE ADVANCEMENT OFFICE

As we reflect on a year filled with challenges and setbacks, we are deeply grateful for the outstanding support of the Christ School community. The generosity of alumni, parents, grandparents, past parents, and friends helped us navigate the uncertainty of 2020 and even flourish in unexpected ways.

The fall semester looked different than usual – masks, temperature checks, social distancing, sporting events with no spectators, and weekend activities on campus. Despite these inconveniences, we felt gratitude for our ability to gather as a community on this outstanding 500acre campus.

Classes and meetings were held outdoors in rocking chairs overlooking the mountains.

Off-campus trips and activities were replaced by capture the flag, fishing competitions, mountain biking, and basketball tournaments on Krieger Court. We gathered for Sunday Fellowship in the Outdoor Chapel overlooking the lake and students and faculty shared evening meals around the fire.

Our greater community also stayed connected despite physical distance. We missed the roar of the crowd as we beat Asheville School and later won the State Championship, but thousands watched online and cheered for the Greenies. Alumni adapted after a postponed Reunion Weekend and gathered for “Zoom Reunions” and “Cyber Happy Hours.” Even our Candlelight Service went virtual, as students, faculty, and alumni participated together in a moving online service.

Through the resilience, support, and commitment of our community, we are stronger than ever.

Thank you for making this possible and for your continued investment in Christ School.

Go Greenies!

2019-2020 SCHOLARSHIPS AND ENDOWMENT The scholarships and endowments report recognizes individuals and families who appreciate that the long-term stability of Christ School is ensured by generous giving today.

Scholarship giving supports deserving students who might otherwise not be able to attend Christ School, while often honoring the legacy of Christ School faculty and loved ones. Giving to the endowment provides further scholarship support, helps to maintain our facilities, and strengthens the school’s foundation for years to come.

ESTABLISHED TO HONOR PAUL KRIEGER’S 21 YEARS AT CHRIST SCHOOL

During his 21 years of distinguished service at Christ School, Mr. Krieger has created an atmosphere which allows boys to develop into young men. He encourages boys to “own” their behavior and choices, he emphasizes self-advocation and delayed gratification, and teaches the importance of courage to each and every boy. Each year, a handful of young men exemplify this courage and the merits of a Christ School education, training, and service. These students are not necessarily star athletes, master thespians, or top students. Above all, they are young men of character, courage, and empathy. They are an integral part of transforming and bettering the school community. They care for their classmates, take risks, work hard, and emerge as leaders among their peers. Collectively, they make Christ School a better place. The Krieger Leadership Initiative is an endowed fund created to honor Mr. Krieger’s legacy while recognizing young men of distinction and enhancing Christ School’s tradition of cultivating future leaders.

beyond the gate house FROM THE ADVANCEMENT OFFICE

After Larry Miller ’66 graduated from Christ School, he attended Newberry College and played golf.

Following college, he began a career in banking that spanned almost 50 years. Miller spent most of his career in commercial and business lending, and, as a long-time resident of Greenville, SC, he started Independence National Bank in 2005. Miller and his partners sold the bank in 2018, and he retired soon after. Miller still lives in Greenville with his wife, Sherry. They have four children, seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. He served on the Board of Trustees for many years at Christ School, including a tenure as chairman. Miller sat down with The Galax to talk about his recent decision to join the David Page Harris Society as a planned giver at Christ School.

What was your Christ School experience like?

I wasn’t the best student in the world, but I was very involved in athletics. Student life was quite different than my home life. The biggest adjustment that a young man had to make was the way he thought about communicating with individuals. When you’re at home in grammar school, you don’t live with your classmates.

Most of your ethics, morals, and outlook at that age are formed with your parents. Away from them, there is a new code of ethics,

morals, and social nuances. At boarding school, you had to learn quickly how to combine work with education and develop new social skills. In doing that, there were people you came to know well and the camaraderie that develops in your years at Christ School is difficult to explain to individuals who haven’t experienced it. Decades later there are still a handful of those friendships that are lasting – you never lose that connection. Overall, my experience was good at Christ School.

Why have you decided to commit to planned giving with Christ School?

I decided to commit to planned giving so that the school will continue to receive a monetary benefit from me once I am no longer here.

Planned giving is a way to make sure that the school has funds for the future. I can only do so much right now, but when I’m gone that gift provides funds to assure work will still be done at Christ School. I’ve been very blessed in my career and planned giving is my way to give back.

During these uncertain times, why is committing to planned giving and strengthening Christ School’s endowment more important than ever?

Simply put, planned giving helps build the corpus of the endowment so that it grows, and therefore provides the school with an income stream for future programs needed for success. The endowment is also important because it provides a vehicle for the school to make future commitments knowing that it has resources to help with those plans. With the impact COVID-19 is having on many people, especially retirees, planned giving allows them to support a school without liquidating any assets. They can go ahead and pledge and they don’t have a cash outlay. I think it’s critical at this time, if you can do it – if you can manage your assets carefully – to set aside money to help Christ School gain security, knowing it’s going to have a future funding source.

Why do you love Christ School? What excites you about the future here?

The school has a great deal of appeal because of its traditions and the basic tenets of those traditions. You look back over 120 years, and you can see those tenets and traditions have not changed. The school today has adapted and adjusted, but still provides a young man the opportunity to achieve excellence in any area he’s willing to jump in. When I was in school and then later served as a board member, I really got to see what made the school tick. There were some struggles in past decades but what has changed is that we are now considered a school of choice with widespread recognition.

The leaders of the school led us to where we are, and those that have followed have built on that foundation. People know the name Christ School. That’s what is exciting. The tradition of the “Long Green Line” is going to extend so much farther. n

If a fellow alumnus were to ask you about why he should support the school through planned giving, what would you tell him?

When you invest in a school like this, in a legacy, you can assure that the tradition continues.

I think it’s critical that people consider this option. When I first started thinking about planned giving, I said I may go ahead and take the cash out and do it now. But then I realized that planned giving provides more flexibility.

You can grow investments, and if they continue to grow, then you still have the opportunity to go into your estate plans and change the amount you pledge to the school. Planned giving offers multiple opportunities to give to the school and preserve what you have while leaving a lasting legacy at Christ School.

alumni NEWS FROM ALUMNI

Recently, the Advancement Office and a group of alumni started a Military & Veterans Alumni Affinity Group to connect and engage Christ School alumni who are currently serving or have served in the military. To launch this initiative, we are excited to feature several recent graduates who are currently serving in the armed forces. If you are interested in learning more about the Military & Veterans Affinity Group, please contact the Alumni Office.

THOMAS MACKIE ’12 What got you interested in joining the military?

From an early age I knew I wanted to serve. I loved the appeal of the uniforms and camaraderie – even the calling cadence during runs. The opportunity to become a servant leader and command my own soldiers pushed me to join ROTC and earn a commission as an officer.

Tell us a little bit about your current role and background in the military.

I’m a First Lieutenant, and a Field Artillery (FA) Officer. My current job is to command a platoon of mortarmen. My platoon specializes in the heavy 120mm mortar system, which has capabilities similar to cannon artillery. I was commissioned through ROTC in 2016 at Appalachian State and joined the Army National Guard. From there, I attended Field Artillery School (FABOLC) at Fort Sill

Oklahoma. I held a number of other positions prior to my current assignment. My unit just returned from deployment overseas about a month ago, where we spent five months in Kuwait and four in Saudi Arabia as part of a large force providing security for various operations in the Middle East.

How do you think your time at Christ School prepared you for service and/or influenced you to go into the service?

Christ School, much like the Army, believes that all people are one color: GREEN. Teamwork is key in the military. Through sports, Dorm Wars, worklists, and daily life at CS, I learned how to work together with all kinds of different folks to “accomplish the mission.”

extremely demanding job, but many younger Army officers work as XOs prior to taking promotions to Captain as part of their career progression.

What do you love about Christ School?

It’s hard to think of something I DIDN'T like about Christ School. I loved the campus, the classes I took (like blowing things up in physics), and the cohesion I felt among Greenies. Most importantly, the friendships with students and teachers I made will last the rest of my life. For example, Coach Parham P’13, whom I view as a mentor, regularly kept in touch with me and sent me care packages of protein bars while I was overseas!

What have been the most rewarding aspects of your time in the service? The most challenging?

What advice do you have for current Christ School students?

I loved my time at CS, so it makes me sad to see how the pandemic has turned everything upside down. But if there’s one thing I know: it’s that Greenies thrive on adversity and stick together.

What’s next for you after the military?

MARK GLAESER ’14 What got you interested in joining the military?

A lot of my family served in the army. They taught me about serving our country and how military can provide unique opportunities for young men and women (leadership, travel, education support). Serving has always been engrained in me, both as an honor and as a way to pay back a country that has given me so much.

Now that we’re back from deployment, I’ll most likely be given a new assignment. I’m hoping to work as an Executive Officer (XO). It’s an

I’ve had the opportunity to participate in really amazing training experiences: calling in F-16 attacks, steaming across the deserts of Texas in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle alongside a platoon of Abrams tanks, igniting a swath of Fort Sill on fire with a battery of M777 howitzers – all stuff that you could only do as a soldier. But beyond the “cool stuff,” as a leader, the most rewarding experience is watching your peers and the soldiers under your command grow and succeed. The most challenging aspect? As a National Guardsman, I train with my soldiers once a month while I work as a civilian the rest of the time. Balancing that military and civilian life can be extremely difficult.

Tell us a little bit about your current role and background in the military.

Currently I’m stationed at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC) studying to operate nuclear reactors on an aircraft carrier. However, due to Covid complications, my career path is likely to change. Before NNPTC I was the “STRIKE” officer onboard DDG53 (USS John Paul Jones) and was in charge of 13 personnel, all missiles onboard, and planning/carrying out any “strike” (offensive or responsive) missions.

How do you think your time at Christ School prepared you for service and/or influenced you to go into the service?

alumni NEWS FROM ALUMNI

Christ School was all about brotherhood, learning to take responsibility, and utilizing incredible resources to make the most of your future and opportunities. The military relies on camaraderie to get you through the toughest deployments or situations you may ever face. Taking responsibility is essential for being in charge of people and having to answer to a higher authority. If your division drops the ball, you have to quickly learn from your mistakes and move forward in order to survive at sea. Lastly, the military has an endless amount of resources to help you get any job done; when those aren’t enough, you have to improvise to finish the task at hand. Christ School provides its students with an enormous amount of resources (from an incredible staff to outstanding facilities) in order for them to succeed at anything they could imagine.

Because of Christ School and the opportunities I was provided there, I was lucky enough to receive appointments to Navy, Air Force, and West Point.

What have been the most rewarding aspects of your time in the service? The most challenging?

The most rewarding aspects of my job are getting to work with dedicated men and women who are sacrificing their young adulthood and time with loved ones in order to keep their country safe. Every day I am humbled by their dedication and hard work. Also, it doesn’t hurt that I was

stationed in Hawaii for my first tour and am now lucky enough to call Charleston, SC, home!

The most challenging part of my job is always being the one to give bad news. Whether it’s telling everyone we’ll be working overnight for a week, going on a surprise month out at sea, or telling everyone to enjoy their weekend because our deployment was moved up four months last second – you never enjoy giving bad news. Telling someone they have to leave their loved ones never gets better, but the leadership practice at Christ School and the Naval Academy definitely helped prepare me for those moments.

What advice do you have for current Christ School students?

Enjoy your time at Christ School and take advantage of all the opportunities. Explore all of the different course available, sports/clubs offered, and community service opportunities.

Four years flies by, and one day you’ll blink and receive your diploma wondering what you might have missed out on. So many people around the world don’t even get to go to school and you have the opportunity to attend a school where every person there cares about you and your development! Take advantage of this incredible time in your life and always remember you don’t “have to” go to Christ School, you GET to go to Christ School. Once you realize that, you’ll have a bit more fun going to class on Saturdays or digging up stumps.

What’s next for you after the military?

When I get out, I’d love to work for a defense contracting agency such as Northrup or Lockheed because the technology they work on is fascinating to me. Whatever I do, I know I’ll always need to work with people.

What do you love about Christ School?

It’s hard to choose the one thing I loved most about Christ School. As much as I’d like to say gorgeous views, awesome facilities, and the chance to go to school on “snow days,” I’d say my favorite part was the brothers I made and the relationships I formed with my teachers/

mentors/coaches. Both while I was in school and after graduation, my brothers and teachers from CS have been there for me through the best times and the hardest times. When my son was hospitalized for an extended period of time, my brothers came to cheer me up and nearly everyone I knew from Christ School reached out in support. That type of bond and love isn’t forged every day, except at Christ School.

CAMRIN OPP ’14 What got you interested in joining the military?

Tell us a little bit about your current role and background in the military.

I graduated West Point in 2019 as an Aviation Pilot set to fly Blackhawks, Chinooks, or Apaches. Following my completion of the Basic Officer Aviation Course and Army Survival School (called SERE), I was offered a contract to play minor league baseball for the New York Mets. Subsequently, I transferred to the Army program called the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) that allows me to try out for the U.S. Olympic team as a baseball player for the 2021 Olympics in Japan. In short, my MOS (role in the Army) is a 67J, which is a Medical Evacuation Pilot, but my current mission is to make the Olympic team and represent this great nation.

How do you think your time at Christ School prepared you for service and/or influenced you to go into the service?

The brotherhood at Christ School mirrors the military in many ways. The countless activities, competitive sports, and overall commitment to excellence at Christ School taught me how to be a good teammate and excel in adverse environments. Life for me, up to this point, has definitely been a team effort. I really think Christ School hammers home the quote, “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.”

What have been the most rewarding aspects of your time in the service? The most challenging?

Christ School made me curious about becoming a “leader,” but West Point and the Army showed me what it takes and the sacrifices that are part of the job description. The most challenging part of being an officer in the service is managing time and being accountable for every decision and action you make, because someone is always watching. If you have 10 “important” things to do, which one do you do first? How do you delegate tasks and still accomplish the mission? Each day in the Army is a

I came from a non-military background, so the spark of my interest started as simple curiosity when a representative named Major Turner came to Christ School. As I reflect on my decision to go to West Point over five years later, I really believe that the brotherhood at Christ School primed me to find a similar dynamic after graduation. Additionally, I’ve always taken pride in being a great teammate, so I figured I would like to join the best military team in the entire world. When anyone makes a big decision, I feel like there are a lot of story lines that pop into your head, but in the end, I chose the path that I was most scared of. I’ll always remember my dad telling me, “Cam, I’m not sure if you can get in.” My dad really knew how to stoke my fire! Inevitably, I believe my dad, my family, and I all knew the structure of West Point and the Army were a good fit.

challenge, but if you have the right attitude and temperament with people you will be surprised at how much you can accomplish.

What advice do you have for current Christ School students?

The brotherhood at Christ School is great but take some time to be independently curious.

If you are struggling through something, keep going. I promise you will learn more about yourself on the other side.

What’s next for you after the military?

My goal is to pursue participation in the 2021 Olympics and see if I can represent the Army in the MLB. If that doesn’t pan out, I will adjust and resume my role as a MEDEVAC pilot in Army Aviation for the rest of my commitment following graduation from West Point.

What do you love about Christ School?

alumni NEWS FROM ALUMNI

I love the welcoming people and beautiful scenery at Christ School. I came to Christ School as an international student my junior year. My first day, over 4000 miles away from home, I took South Carolina House (my dorm) to the finals of the balloon toss in the annual “Dorm Wars” competition. I lost the balloon toss to a future teammate on the baseball team, who I became very close with. The next two years went by in a blur, but the great memories still remain.

ALLEN GUTHERY ’13 What got you interested in joining the military?

I think the one thing that drew me to the military was the opportunity to travel and gain experiences that were miles out of my comfort zone. I initially wanted to be a reconnaissance Marine but was not prepared for the training and decided to go a different direction.

Tell us a little bit about your current role and background in the military.

I went into the communications field, spending around six months in the California desert, learning the data systems side of communications. My current role is working as a security manager for 1st Network Battalion.

It’s a brand-new command as of June of this year and the first communications command to “stand up” in over 50 years. I verify clearances and grant access to classified areas around base. I also serve a role in the battalion’s physical fitness program. I lead physical training for Marines most mornings before work and sometimes at lunch, providing any support that I can to help better their physical fitness.

How do you think your time at Christ School prepared you for service and/or influenced you to go into the service?

Christ School helped me mature and learn to hold myself accountable. Living at school, especially in high school, there are plenty of places to find distractions that stop you

touch with some of my old teachers and coaches.

Christ School really is a big family and I wish I could have spent four years there instead of three! The relationships and the experiences I found at Christ School are the reason why I ended up being successful in a career for which I am passionate. I will always remember my days as a Greenie!

The most rewarding aspects of the military have definitely been the discipline and opportunities to lead. As I have moved through the ranks, I’ve been able to lead and develop new Marines, making sure they grow to be the best possible version of themselves. The most challenging part is being away from home. I’m stationed on Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, which has been a lot of fun – but makes it harder to go home to North Carolina.

THOMAS GARBEE ’16 What got you interested in joining the military?

What’s next for you after the military?

I don’t think I’m done with the military quite yet. I’m going to go try out for special forces and see where that takes me. I at least want to do one more contract. I love being a Marine and can’t really imagine doing anything else right now.

What do you love about Christ School?

My Mom’s father was in the 101st Airborne Division during the 1950s, so I’d say that hearing his stories piqued my interest. I also felt like I was very fortunate growing up and wanted to find a way to give back and serve others.

Ultimately, that led me to attend the United States Naval Academy, where I could fulfill my dream of serving my country while also having the opportunity to play Division I golf.

The one thing I love about Christ School is the relationships. I still keep in contact with a solid group of guys from my class and the classes above and below. I went to Marine Corps boot camp with one of my closest friends from Christ School, Davis Jones ’12. I also have stayed in

If I could give Christ School students one piece of advice: don’t go along with what everyone expects of you if it will limit your happiness. If you are thinking about the military at all, do your research about the process before you sign any contract. I have too many friends who got contracts simply because the recruiter told them that was the only thing open right then. Wait for what you want. But if you want to do it, have a plan and go! Don’t have any regrets down the line.

Tell us a little bit about your current role and background in the military.

What advice do you have for current Christ School students?

I am a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. I commissioned in May of 2020 upon graduating from the Naval Academy. I have almost finished the initial training for all new officers in the Marine Corps, known as the Basic School. The Basic School is designed to teach each Marine Officer how to be a provisional rifle platoon commander. I was recently designated as a Combat Engineer Officer. I checked into Camp Lejeune in early December for the Combat Engineer Officers Course and will become a platoon commander at the 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion when I graduate from the course in May.

For current Christ School students, I would offer this: no matter what grade you are in, each of you is a leader. Whether you are a team captain on Little Greenies Basketball, a proctor, or prefect, Christ School will afford you the opportunity to lead. I would recommend reading Call Sign Chaos by General James Mattis. Though his book discusses leadership through the eyes of a career United States Marine, anyone can take something from his experience and wisdom. You can never read enough because all great leaders are scholars. Use your time at Christ School to start developing your own unique leadership style. Learn from those who lead you and apply what you like to your own style. Remember, in order to be a successful leader, you must first be a great follower.

How do you think your time at Christ School prepared you for service and/or influenced you to go into the service?

Watching a few upperclassmen at CS go to West Point and the Naval Academy allowed me to see the process of getting into an Academy.

Asking them questions made the process far easier. Service is also an integral part of the Christ School community. This experience helped me realize how important it is to give back to your community, school, and country.

What’s next for you after the military?

What have been the most rewarding aspects of your time in the service? The most challenging?

I love the camaraderie and the relationships you build. While I was a student there, we took pride in having the best student section in the area. Don’t take it for granted: your time as a student will fly by! Believe me, you will miss the time you spend there with your friends.

I love getting back together with my friends from CS; they are truly friendships that will last forever. Also, take the time to get to know your teachers. I stay in touch with quite a few teachers who truly impacted my life for the best. Everyone at CS is there for you. Don't miss out on an opportunity to strengthen relationships you build there once you’ve walked across the stage on Yard A. n

The most rewarding aspect of my young career in the service is earning the title United States Marine. Once you are a Marine, you are always a Marine. Every Marine, past and present, will never forget receiving their first Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. I am extremely proud of earning the title. The most challenging aspect for me thus far is fully comprehending the great responsibility of being a commissioned officer. As an officer, I will have the awesome opportunity to lead America’s sons and daughters in peace and war. When I get to my first platoon, I will be placed in charge of 30-50 Marines as a 23-year-old. I am excited for the opportunity to impact future Marines and to instill pride in serving our platoon.

Currently, I’m thinking I want to stay in the Marine Corps for a while. I really don’t have a great answer to this question. I guess I’ll see where my career takes me!

Thriving at Columbia University A Conversation with Dr. Jared O’Garro-Moore ’06

by Andrew Pearson

Fourteen years ago, Dr. Jared O’Garro-Moore ’06 would have described himself as a typical college freshman, impressionable and undecided on a major. He not only found a career path but has followed it all the way to one of the most prestigious universities in the country. Jared has been part of Columbia’s Department of Psychiatry since 2018 and became an Instructor of Medical Psychology about a year ago. The Christ School alumnus has authored and co-authored numerous research papers and encyclopedia articles. O’Garro-Moore works at the Irving Medical Center in New York City and had a break in his schedule back in November to provide this life update.

of psychology is, and what different careers in psychology could be. I was also fortunate to have great mentors who helped me along the way.

Question: I know there will be a lot of people in the Christ School community excited to hear about your position at Columbia. What has it been like for you so far?

Question: I know many people here at Christ School will remember you for your athletic career (Jared was a two-time state champion in the pole vault as well as a wrestler and football player). What do you like to do in your spare time these days?

Answer: I’ve been here for about two and a half years and it’s been a lot of fun. I’m originally from Philadelphia, so the big city is something I’m used to. Work-wise, I’m around a lot of brilliant people. People who are on the front line of research and development and people who are great to learn from. It’s just a really cool place to work. Prior to this, I was at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center doing my last year of training after graduate school at Temple University.

Question: You attended the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill after Christ School. Do you remember how you first got interested in psychology?

Answer: I was one of those students who didn’t know what I wanted to do when I started college.

I was fortunate to have someone who believed in me and invited me to be part of their psych lab. From there, my interest was piqued. I got to learn how amazing and interesting the field

Question: What does your current work entail?

Answer: My research background is on the co-occurrence of mood and anxiety disorders.

I’m part of an intensive outpatient program at Columbia, treating people with more acute concerns. I’m also helping to spearhead an initiative to standardize treatment for treatmentresistant depression. Lastly, I’m doing a research project, looking at whether different treatments can be tailored for peoples’ unique needs.

Answer: A lot has changed since the pandemic.

But me and a bunch of buddies like to bike Central Park and go to different restaurants and bars. The city is so massive. Any weekend, you can go off and find some site or area that you’ve never experienced before. It really is like being a tourist in your own town.

Question: What do you remember about your experience at Christ School?

Answer: Christ School was a lot of fun and I’m glad I went there. Mr. (Paul) Krieger was an awesome Headmaster. The biggest thing that stands out to me is the relationships. Christ School was really a primer for college. You’re around the same people, almost 24-7, and you really do develop close-knit bonds that you wouldn’t have in a normal high school. Those friendships were the biggest thing to me. n

Upon graduation, he went on to study at Washington & Lee University (VA), earning a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. He received his MBA from the University of South Carolina.

Ellison loved and supported Christ School generously. He served on the Board of Trustees from 1999 to 2005, lending his expertise to both the Advancement and Finance Committees. Ellison was instrumental in the campaign to renovate and expand St. Joseph’s Chapel in 2005, and more recently led the effort to raise the 50th reunion gift to $100,000. In 1998, he was recognized for his outstanding contributions to the school with the Alumni Achievement Award.

Ellison served in the U.S. Army from 1974 to 1976, taught as an adjunct professor at the Moore School of Business, led his sons’ Boy Scout troop, and was a trustee emeritus at Washington & Lee.
