Loving CA Since 1956
“I
was a full-time English teacher at CA for thirtyseven years, beginning in the fall of 1956. For six of those years, from 1966 to 1971, I served as CA’s first academic dean. After I retired from the classroom, in 1994, I began tutoring international students at CA, and I continue to enjoy my connection with these students. “When I came for a job interview at CA in February of 1956, I had no intention of taking a job at what I assumed was a snobby, private girls’ school. Then I met Mrs. Hall. We hit it off immediately, and I was intrigued by her policy of having only five major rules, her belief in awarding no prizes or class rank, and her commitment to teaching respect for the individual. Mrs. Hall was looking not for an oldgirl candidate, but for someone who could bring something new to the school, someone with experience outside the private school framework. I have always respected her for that vision and am grateful that she saw in me the ‘something new’ she was looking for. “I give to Concord Academy because it is a school that changes as the world changes. No year is ever like the one before — including the schedule. And you never know when Thursday will be Monday until 3:00 p.m., something today’s students call ‘CA time.’ “Coeducation, greater diversity, a larger student body, choice of elective courses — all have occurred since 1956. Yet something of the original school remains. I still feel the spirit of fun and spontaneity that makes this a special place. There is still a sense of excitement in learning, an honoring of the individual, a perennial debate between the good of the individual and the good of the community, a sense of adventure, and an effort to find creative solutions for the school’s challenges. All these qualities continue to energize CA and help it feel new every year. It’s a remarkable school that deserves to receive all the financial support it needs to ensure its future.” Sylvia Mendenhall is a writing tutor at Concord Academy.
