This is a special time in American education for all girls and young women, but even more so for the Seton student, who has available to her a set of educational experiences within a school that has developed and perfected the model for educating girls and young women.” Dr. Grills, an educator, administrator, and professor, has more than 25 years of experience in school districts across Maryland,the District of Columbia, and North Carolina.
