WINTER 2022

Dear Members of the Cushing Community, As we begin this new year and reflect on all that we have accomplished over the last four years, and especially the last two during the COVID pandemic, I want you to know how grateful I am for each member of our community for all that we have done — together. Only eighteen months ago, we were returning to campus after an extended time away to start a new academic year marked by regular testing, no visits home, no sports, and no visitors to campus; Admissions and Advancement work was done by Zoom, and the hope of a vaccine was still on the horizon. So much has changed, as during this academic year we have been able to resume a much more normal campus experience in all its elements. The dedication of our faculty and staff during this challenging time has been inspiring, and I remain honored to be part of a community that continues to work hard and give back to support our students and their growth. As you will see from this issue, and in the accompanying report on the work on our five-year

Strategic Plan, the Cushing story over the last four years is one of transformation. Since the Plan’s adoption in 2017, the school has experienced its own metamorphosis. We have had

consecutive years of record admissions and interest in the school, added several state-of-the-art buildings to our beautiful campus, nearly tripled our annual fund, and laid the foundation and strategic planning for long-term sustainability. None of this could have happened without the generosity highlighted in the enclosed annual report and the inspiring stories behind each of the generous contributions made to the Academy. In my visits with parents, alumni, and friends of the Academy, it is apparent that what has remained steadfast throughout this time is a strong commitment to the Academy, allowing us to support our students and employees, while growing as an institution to ensure that future generations will experience the wonderful opportunities Cushing offers. Together we have met challenges head on and exceeded our goals; together we have supported our mission of existing for students. Thank you for your ongoing dedication to Cushing and for our continued work — together. All my best,

Randy R. Bertin, Ed.D. Head of School

Strategic Plan Final Report The final months of Cushing’s academic and fiscal year will mark the completion of our Strategic Plan for 2017–2022, Embracing Our Legacy and Positioning for Our Future. Adopted by the Board of Trustees in July 2017, the Plan was created to ensure that Cushing was best positioned to achieve its mission for our students, with a stronger, more sustainable foundation for the Academy’s future. Work on the plan began in August 2016, starting with a analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing Cushing. In a comprehensive planning process designed to optimize input from students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and the Board, twenty-seven iterations of the Plan were developed leading up to its final approval. The nine Strategic Initiatives identified in the plan are organized around Student Experience, ensuring the best possible education and experience for each student, and Institutional Sustainability, focused on building a stronger foundation for the future. Unforeseen at the launching of the Plan was a pandemic with implications for the health and welfare of every member of the Cushing community – on campus and beyond – and of the global community. The extensive work done in the first two and half years of the Plan without doubt placed Cushing in a position to weather those challenges with an undimmed focus on our students, as did the tireless ongoing dedication of our administration, faculty, and staff. Building on these early accomplishments, work on the Strategic Initiatives continued. The final summary report provides updates on actions taken for each Initiative. As noted, even when we consider a particular goal as having been completed, we continue to review and evaluate all that we do for the best possible outcome for our students and for the Academy, in fulfillment of our mission “to exist for students and to develop curious, creative, and confident learners and leaders.” The progress made in executing this Strategic Plan would not have been possible without the deep commitment and generosity of all who have supported and invested in the Academy through your contributions, and we thank you for your support. In addition to our deep appreciation of the work of the entire administration, faculty and staff, the Board wishes to express our gratitude to Dr. Randy Bertin for his leadership since July 2018 in executing the plan and identifying additional areas of growth and improvement for the Academy. We also thank Catherine Pollock, Associate Head of School, and Margaret Lee, who served as Interim Co-Heads of School during the Plan’s development and first year. Moving forward, our work is not yet complete. Our plan for campus renewal continues, building on the accomplishments during the last decade, including the construction of Watkins Field House; the construction of Lee and Sanborn Houses and Carlisle and Hancock Halls; the renovation of Iorio Arena and Price Hall; and the renovation and expansion of Ashburnham House dormitory and our Dining Commons. As I write this, preparation for the demolition of Sawyer-Hopkins is underway, to be replaced by a new dormitory and wellness center. As the Board looks ahead to identifying new strategic goals for the Academy’s bright future, we thank you for your support of Cushing and invite your continued partnership.

Academic Support A HISTORY OF INNOVATION & DEDICATION

CUSHING TODAY

ushing Academy has long been known for its excellence in teaching. It’s no surprise, then, that the school has carved out a unique niche among neurodiverse learners seeking a classic boarding school experience. Here, students can

fit academic support seamlessly into their day, alongside a rigorous college prep curriculum and all the co-curricular activities that enrich student life. “What sets Cushing apart is the combination of opportunities,” said Michael DeFlaun, Academic Support department chair. “There is no mold for a typical Cushing student. Our students have a wide range of interests and learning styles, and we have the structure to support every individual in pursuing academics, athletics, and arts to the fullest of their ability.” Cushing’s Academic Support program, which serves about 15 percent of students each year, is one of many examples of how Cushing faculty focus on the unique qualities of each student. It is so successful because this educational philosophy is a hallmark of every Cushing classroom.

Planting the seeds of opportunity Academic Support emerged as its own department in the early 1980s under the leadership of Head of School Dr. Joseph Curry, who had arrived at Cushing Academy a decade earlier, during an era of dramatic change throughout our society. At the time, boarding schools throughout the United States faced aging infrastructure, dwindling enrollment, and the challenge of being considered oldfashioned because many were single-gender schools. In addition,

WINTER 2022

educational methods were changing from the traditional sage-onthe-stage model to more student-centered approaches. Some boarding schools addressed these issues by merging boys’ and girls’ schools and evolving their teaching philosophies. Others simply folded under financial pressures. Dr. Curry recognized the value of Cushing being one of the few boarding schools that had been co-educational since its founding. He also could see that Cushing had a lot of heart. Through his connections as an alumnus of Harvard University, Dr. Curry had met literacy pioneer Jeanne Chall, a psychologist whose research fundamentally changed the understanding of reading development. Soon Dr. Curry was consulting with Dr. Chall and other experts about how to serve students with learning differences. In that era, public schools served many such students through separate programs that limited their educational experience. Cushing developed a program where students could get academic support as part of their school day, while learning alongside peers in regular courses. “Families came to Cushing because parents wanted a complete, vibrant school experience for their kids,” noted Peggy. “Many of these were brilliant young people, but they had challenges decoding words, or they had a hard time organizing all of the thoughts that came flooding into their brains.” The new program synergized with Cushing’s educational philosophy and quickly had an impact on the broader school culture. Thanks to ongoing professional development, teachers in Academic Support and in every subject kept abreast of the latest research, built awareness about different learning profiles, and incorporated new teaching strategies. Thus Cushing’s already strong faculty became even more effective at engaging students. “When you teach well to students with learning challenges, you teach well to everyone,” Peggy explained. “All of us have some areas where we are not as strong. When teachers keep that in mind and teach to multiple intelligences, then everyone in the classroom learns better.” Also in this era, Dr. Curry launched Cushing’s English as a Second Language program, where Peggy was a longtime teacher and department chair. Meanwhile, the school’s athletic programs expanded and Cushing’s visual and performing arts programs blossomed. By the time Dr. Curry retired in 2000, Cushing was not just surviving—it was thriving.

For example, a student with dyslexia may also have attention-deficit disorder.” Rich appreciated that Cushing was a school that sought to look beyond labels: “Cushing bought into the idea that every kid is different. All you can do is identify what a student does well and where they need support. Dr. Curry always called on us to focus not on a teacher-centered model, but rather on what would work best for students.” As the new department grew, Rich emphasized the importance of participating students also being wholly integrated into the school community. “We wanted to honor the college prep curriculum, while at the same time providing support,” Rich said. “And it was important for students to have time in their schedule for athletics or taking a photography class.” Similarly, Rich wanted Academic Support teachers to be a full part of campus

to Cushing — for the Academic Support program,” says Annie, who transferred in as a sophomore. Immediately she noticed that Cushing was different. Support is “built into the schedule, which was really nice,” she says. At her previous school academic support “was kind of like a study hall, but with them not really teaching me any skills. So when I went to Cushing, I was like: ‘Whoa. This is a night and day difference.’” Annie learned to make a daily to-do list and to color code her calendar, marking tests in one shade and project deadlines in another. She learned that people who have ADHD, as she does, often find learning easier when they are moving. Cushing’s Academic Support center has big bouncy balls to sit on and treadmills to walk on while working. “I never realized that I was always fidgeting. Maybe I just needed to move around,” she says. At Cushing, Annie learned to prioritize, plan, and juggle, which made all the difference when she faced

In recent years “executive functioning”—a phrase to describe the ability to organize and implement the details of life—has joined the lexicon about learning. Meanwhile, as awareness about neurodiversity has grown, having learning differences has become much less stigmatized. At this point, it is widely recognized that every student body has some range of neurodiverse learners. Yet Cushing’s thorough, thoughtful approach to serving these students

Damon Tyson ’86 DEDICATED TO PUBLIC SERVICE

fter three decades as a police officer, mostly based in Arlington, Virginia, Damon Tyson ’86 has been on the scene of some of the most pivotal moments in our nation’s history. He sifted through wreckage (and

found the pilot’s watch) from the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. He donned gloves and masks to examine envelopes for white powder during the anthrax attacks of that same year. And just a year ago, he provided peer support for officers who had endured the January 6 attack on the Capitol. In addition to gathering forensic evidence at many crime scenes, Damon has also served as a school resource officer. He still recalls meeting police officers when he served as a crossing guard in grammar school, which is when his own aspirations began. Damon also was influenced by his parents working in the foreign service, which led the family to live at posts in

Kenya, Mali, Liberia, Greece, and other nations. “I’ve always been motivated by the idea of helping people when they really need help,” Damon said. “Growing up among so many different cultures, I could see that when people everywhere need help, they want to rely on people they can trust and believe in.” By serving others in these vulnerable moments, “you hope that you might have touched somebody and made a difference.” Coming to Cushing Academy made a difference in Damon’s life. Although he had always struggled in school, it wasn’t until he came to Cushing that Rich Henry conducted the testing to clarify that Damon had dyslexia. Suddenly, Damon realized, “There was nothing wrong with me. By understanding that I had a learning disability, and then gaining new study tools, I ended up blossoming.” Alongside academic support, Damon appreciated Cushing’s small classes and extracurricular life, where he was active in wrestling, rugby, and theater. “Without Cushing, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today,” Damon said. Along with Rich Henry he points to wrestling coach and math teacher Paul Dowling as being particularly influential. “They were so dedicated to students and provided so much support,” Damon said. “That sense of caring and how you treat people is something that you take with you for the rest of your life.” After Cushing, Damon graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in criminology. He anticipates retiring from law enforcement in the next few years to develop a new career direction, and he is concerned for the next generation of police officers. Damon knows personally how the ongoing intersection of systemic racism and law enforcement makes being a black, male police officer particularly difficult. Having helped fellow officers process their emotions after the January 6 attack on Capitol Hill,

he also sees how that event has been another blow to morale for many law enforcement professionals. “It was devastating to walk through those halls and see the destruction of what truly happened that day,” he said. Outside of work, Damon enjoys spending time with his wife,

He also keeps in touch with Cushing alumni and attends as many reunions as he can—because his high school experience was interrupted for a year while he lived with his parents overseas, Damon considers himself a member of both the class of ’85 and of ’86. “Cushing instills a sense of family,” Damon said. “I have numerous memories from Mountain Days, dances, football games. Those are unique bonds, and when we come back together, it’s like we never left.”

WINTER 2021

2021 Fall Athletics Highlights g g Last Fall saw the long-awaited return of an entire season of competition across all sports. The campus was swarming with student-athletes as they practiced, competed, cheered, and supported each other. Our athletes and coaches clicked back into gear as if they had never been away, with five Varsity sports and five Junior-Varsity sports at full capacity, hosting games and attending away trips. Field Hockey and Volleyball teams led the way with post-season participation. Field Hockey qualified for the NEPSAC Class B Tournament. The #5 seed, following a 12-5-0 record, the team lost a fiercely fought quarter-final, 2-1, versus a stellar Thayer Academy team. In Courtney Collins debut season as Head Coach, Volleyball advanced to the NEPSAC Class C Tournament as the #3 seed with a 144-0 record. Following a triumphant 3-1 quarter-final victory, Cushing finally fell to #2 seed and eventual champions, St. Luke's School.

New Faces We were excited to add two new coaching staff members to our Fall Sports, Courtney Collins and Alex Macpherson, Head Coaches for Varsity Girls' Volleyball and Varsity Girls' Soccer, respectively.

Coach Collins joined Cushing from Pinkerton Academy, where she coached both the boys' and girls' programs. A stand-out player, Collins' competed for Keene State College and Rivier College and still competes at Open, Beach, and Grass Nationals.

Coach Macpherson came to Ashburnham from UMass Lowell Women's Soccer, where he was an Assistant Coach for two years. He brings a wealth of collegelevel experience with him, having held roles at Boston University, Wentworth Institute of Technology, and Franklin Pierce University. In addition, he While not competing with the Cross Country team, Stone Evans '24 used his Fall season to successfully try out and be selected for the United States U15 Indoor Lacrosse Team.

Performing Arts Highlights

The Fall offered exciting possibilities for theatre and performing arts at Cushing. The ability to perform without masks and to have a live audience was undoubtedly promising and a trajectory we hope to continue! The fall comedy, I Hate Hamlet, offered student actors opportunities to act with their teachers and enjoy a bit of swordplay and stage fighting. A message for actors and audiences alike, I Hate Hamlet is a true thespian's show, highlighting why the arts are essential.

The Jazz Ensemble is back working in-person while using recording technologies utilized earlier in the pandemic. Chamber ensembles are now functioning in-person, and these classical players presented a live concert in November; they are now launching into new projects in preparation for a May 2022 performance.

Our Cushing dancers, in both technique and activities, explored ballet and modern dance with a taste of Hip-Hop. The Fall dance concert, This Is Us, showcased student choreography, k-pop, ballet variation, and traditional dances from China and Korea. Dancers are now exploring improvisation techniques leading to selfchoreographed pieces in preparation for the Spring Concert.

Chorus enthusiastically returned to in-person rehearsal. The ensemble performed live for the first time in almost two years at an assembly in December and is now working on repertoire for the spring season. 22

Visual Arts Highlights A thriving, vibrant, and creative environment was in full operation as all of the offerings within the Emily Fisher Landau Center for Visual Arts returned. All five of Cushing Academy's dedicated studios were active, including pottery and sculpture, photography, painting and drawing, metalsmithing, and glasswork. Our dedicated faculty of Visual Arts professionals provided guidance and supervision throughout the semester as ideas were developed, designed, and executed. As an essential element of the Cushing experience, it was a welcome return of the energy and creativity that often inspires our entire campus. As always, the highlight of the Fall is students selecting and submitting their pieces for the

2020-2021 Annual Report Dear Cushing Alumni, Families, and Friends, It is with deep gratitude that we publish this Annual Report on Philanthropy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021 and honor those whose generosity has strengthened Cushing Academy. While the 2020-2021 school year posed many challenges, our community adapted, adjusted, and thrived, continuing to provide our students with a Cushing education defined by a profound commitment to each student. Our success is a testament to your partnership and generosity. Thank you for your powerful expression of support for Cushing and your confidence in the Academy’s direction. Every gift, large or small, has the power to transform lives, and there is indeed strength in numbers. The more than 2,100 gifts received last year in support of our operating needs, capital projects, academic programs, and the endowment made our successes possible. Your collective support, totaling $2.96 million in gifts and pledges, directly funded every aspect of the Cushing experience. Just as the teachers and students influence daily life at Cushing, so do your gifts. Cushing is a worthy beneficiary of your investment. Members of our community who make a gift continue the legacy that others before them created. We are especially indebted to our alumni, parent and faculty volunteers, for their dedicated support of our advancement efforts. Together, we are achieving new heights and securing a bright future for this special school and our students. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do for Cushing.
