Celebrating Leadership & Innovation with Head of School Dr. Karen E. Eshoo
FALL 2018
A LETTER FROM DR. KAREN ESHOO
Dear King Community, Life is full of new beginnings and transitions. On July 1, a new chapter in my life began as Head of School at King School, one that will be marked by hope, growth, and unlimited possibilities. From the moment I interviewed with King and from my subsequent conversations with each member of the Staffulty, I was struck by the exceptional quality of teaching, the deep thought devoted to the School’s approach to teaching and learning, and the shared understanding that academic excellence has everything to do with the relationships between students and Teachers. I am extremely grateful to be part of this community, and it is with great excitement that I introduce the first edition of Quest magazine published under my leadership. This edition profiles the impact and importance of leadership, innovation, and creative collaboration — on campus and with several of our extraordinary Alumni. We toast Tom Main, who has been a wonderfully open and gracious partner to me during the transition, for his leadership at King. We welcome Amy Vorenberg as the new Head of Lower School, who has begun to work with her new colleagues to envision the future of early childhood education at King. We thank our dedicated Parents’ Association for all their efforts on our wonderful Spring Gala. We celebrate the strength of King and our community’s generous philanthropy with our 2017-2018 Annual Report, and we delight in sharing news of our Alumni. I look forward to a year of new experiences and continued growth. I am most excited to join this community knowing that what we do at King makes a huge difference in helping all of our students become the best version of themselves. Sincerely,
Dr. Karen E. Eshoo Head of School

PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING
6-11 Innovation Across Campus 12-17 Leadership Opportunities
By Kathleen O'Rourke, Director of Marketing & Communication My view of King changed last year. Literally. In the Summer of 2017, the marketing team moved from the Simon House to the Lower School and the lens through which I saw King completely shifted. I was immediately submerged in an academic space where I saw in action what I had always known to be true: the special connection between teachers and students makes King the exceptional school that it is and fosters innovative ideas and extraordinary growth. This edition of Quest is influenced by this experience and celebrates leadership and innovation across the King campus. From my seat in the Lower School, where the marketing department remains, I watch young innovators and leaders develop. From the Makerspace and Media Lab to the Grade 5 Leaders wing, LS students are deeply immersed in STEM and assume leadership roles in student council and service learning. The students are young, energized, and ready to take on the world, evidenced by Foursquare. Some remember the age-old children’s game that lures students to the playground where they draw quadrants and play ball, while others cite the modern-day web application that offers recommendations on where to eat, visit, stay or play according to a user’s location. These double meanings reflect the progress and innovation of the world we live in. It is this world that the same students playing the traditional game outside my office window are prepared to navigate as they develop at King. These students are at ease navigating the lightning fast changes that technology and innovation bring to new ideas and opportunities. The future is here and our students are ready.

As I walk the halls of King today I am filled with happiness and hope. Every day is an affirmation that the future is bright, as it will be in the hands of creators and leaders cultivated by incredible teachers in this unique school. Though I do not play favorites when it comes to the students at King, I am partial to Mrs. McNulty’s second grade class – my neighbors last year - and would like to offer them special appreciation. Thank you for sharing your moments with me: your cupcakes, your Makerspace projects, and your hugs. My perspective is forever changed.

Head of School
Dr. Eshoo Prepares Students to be Citizens of the World When Dr. Karen E. Eshoo chose to leave California and head East to take the helm as the new Head of School at King, she was drawn to many aspects of our School. Our dynamic culture, rich roots, and deep learning resonated with her but it was our community - the people who make King unique - that truly excited her. “The passion people have for this School and the excitement about the possibilities for our future mean that this is a School that can really make a difference and become a leader amongst schools in the area and across the country,” said Eshoo.
immensely gratified that excellent colleges are now making it clear to us that both ethical engagement— especially concern for others and the common good—and intellectual engagement are highly important. Businesses are also telling educators at all levels that we need to educate for the world as it is and will be, not how it used to be. The most compelling candidates for 21st century jobs know how to sit in a room with people who don't look, sound, or think the same way and be able to collaborate together creatively, effectively, and efficiently.”
King’s capacity to nurture students and prepare them for the rapidly evolving and culturally rich world aligns with Eshoo’s top objective as our new Head - to prepare students to be engaged citizens of the world. “Our School’s history is fascinating, filled with stories of visionary women and men who imagined what excellent education could mean for families in the Stamford area and what it would take to bring that to life. Over the course of more than a century, four different schools merged into one that brought together the best of each in terms of educational philosophy, program, and location,” she said. “Throughout its evolution, this school has continued to be a reflection of the city and region in which it lives. This is key as we prepare students for the broader world they will inhabit.”
Accomplishing that at King means hitting on a central, if subtle, theme that long has sustained the school. “The best education helps students see the connection between the content they study, the world, and their life experiences – this is deep, purposeful learning,” she says. “King has recognized this connection throughout its evolution. Our emphasis on building a healthy culture through strong relationships is what makes this kind of transformational education possible. This is why King has continued to distinguish itself as a leader for decades, and why our educational model is even more compelling now.”
For Dr. Eshoo, who has Masters degrees in Education and History from Stanford University and a doctorate in Education from UC Berkeley, knowledge in and of itself is no longer a commodity; students’ long-term success is now predicated on their ability to analyze, synthesize, and communicate that knowledge in ways that demonstrate connection and engagement. Additionally, citing the recent Turning the Tide white paper from Harvard University, what has become most important to colleges and universities are students who can demonstrate that they know what it means to be a positive and productive member of their local community as an indication of their ability to make an impact on a larger scale. “The best educators I know have been 6 Quest 2018
“The truth is the world is finally catching up with King, and I am thrilled to be part of that. I want to participate with colleagues in sending children out into the world who are ready to lead active and engaged lives. I want to work with students who want to know what it means to develop discipline in a world full of distractions, and to experience authentic rigor and the importance of being held accountable. I also know that they will learn the value of these experiences best in a community of caring, kind adults who know them well and who want them to succeed.” Having settled into her new home and office on the King campus, Eshoo is grateful and excited for the year ahead. “This is the school, luckily, that chose me. And, this is also the school that I chose for myself. The reason I knew it was the right fit was that I knew this was the group of people with whom I want to do the work. That we all recognize a fit in each other lends itself to a very solid foundation.”
The truth is the world is finally catching up with King and I want to be part of that. I want to participate with colleagues in sending children out into the world who are ready to lead active and engaged lives.

DEEPEN academic experience
When the class of 2019 entered kindergarten, the iPhone had not yet been born, Facebook had just left college campuses, and Hagstrom maps were still in full production. Now as seniors, those same students use 3D printing to bring ideas to life, store their homework on the “cloud,” experience hands-free driving, and find answers to every possible question on Google. Our students are growing up in a digital age in which technology fuels the rapid pace of innovation, enabling the development of ideas in unlimited ways. Preparing King students to thrive in this rapidly changing world requires the latest technology and creative support in dedicated spaces where students learn to explore solutions to real world problems. Spaces where a more visible culture in making, problem-solving, and exploring is evident not solely in traditional sciences but in all departments.
OUR STUDENTS NEED TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN REAL-TIME USING CRITICAL THINKING AND TRIALAND-ERROR APPROACHES
because that’s how they develop flexibility and creativity. We’re excited to open the Innovation Lab this fall, thanks to the many generous donors who made this possible. The Lab is a much-needed facility designed to offer materials, space, and guidance for Middle and Upper School students to experiment and to innovate, both independently and in groups, in flexible, creative and challenging ways. – Marnie Sadlowsky, Interim Associate Head of School for Curriculum, Head of Upper School 8 Quest 2018
Recognizing this, King has intentionally designed programs to promote innovation, collaboration, and creativity at every turn. We leverage technology to dramatically expand and deepen the academic experience as we know that learning and innovation are symbiotic. Guided by Faculty, students learn to experiment, take risks, and persist through challenge; taking what they already know and creating something new and unique. The success of our approach is apparent when we look at what is happening on campus every day.
STUDENTS EMBRACE INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY
UPPER SCHOOL: 1. A group of math students bring real value to the community, and they used an innovative approach to make it happen. The Math Help Center is a space staffed with student volunteers dedicated to providing math support to fellow students during the school day. Recognizing that students often need help in the evenings with their homework, student volunteers leveraged technology to remedy the problem. They designed and implemented an online support system so they could offer help to the King community around the clock. 2. The US Clubs allow students to explore a passion or interest in a deeper, more innovative way. Spencer Creveling ‘20 created the 3D Printing Club to help students with the printing process and to bring art and technology together. “My biggest ‘aha’ moment was when I figured out how to integrate 3D printing and rocketry.” 3. Senior Projects: Two members of the Class of 2018 finished their time at King with an innovative and creative project. Max Helman and Ethan Marsh wanted to honor their experience at King and utilize their engineering and math skills. The duo created a 3D King logo constructed out of 12,000 legos as a nod to the past and a gesture to the future. Graphic design, engineering, mathematical algorithms, and pure creativity played a role in this endeavor which they took on for their Senior Project.
“My biggest ‘aha’ moment was when I figured out how to integrate 3D printing and rocketry.” – Spencer Creveling ‘20
MIDDLE SCHOOL: 1. Rube Goldberg machines: The Grade 8 Conceptual Physical Science (CPS) class includes a unit on energy in which students get the opportunity to take the concepts learned in class and apply them to hands-on projects. The energy unit is brought to life by building a machine, using household products and much creativity, that illustrates students’ understanding of the input and output of energy and the laws of physics. The projects allow students to interact in a meaningful and engaging way while also experimenting with trial-and-error solutions.
2. Simon Fox ‘23 loves engineering and he thought there may be other students who shared his interest, so he started the MS Circuitry Club last fall. Simon and his clubmates troubleshot their way through challenging obstacles and built an autonomous robot. The after school club offered students a more in depth understanding of the technology around them and brought together like-minded people. Providing students an opportunity to create their own club based on their passions is a perfect example of King’s dedication to student centered learning and deep commitment to STEM.
LOWER SCHOOL: 1. LS Making Club: In 2018, a new after school club introduced students to the creative concept and engineering components of the Caine’s Arcade movement. In 2012, nine-year-old Caine Monroy spent his summer vacation building an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad’s used auto parts store and his project turned into a worldwide movement. In the LS Making Club, students explored different ways to build with cardboard and researched arcade games they were interested in building. Using math, creativity, engineering, and collaboration, students designed the games and built them in the LS Makerspace. Once they completed the games, they used makey boards, squishy circuits, Automata or other means to animate and illuminate them. The project culminated with an afternoon of carnival games and prizes. 2. Grade 2 studied endangered species and their environments in a six-week Science unit that combined research, reading, technology, multimedia, and art. The Endangered Animal and Biome Fair was the culmination of the unit. Working in the classroom, library, and Science Lab, Grade 2 students learned how animals are classified into different animal groups and studied similarities and differences between mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. Tasked with educating their guests at the Biome Fair about the plight of their animal, students tackled the challenge by creating a non-fiction book on the iPad, using the Creator app in the Media Lab, and building a diorama showing the species’ habitat. Finally, public speaking skills were honed as they presented their projects to classmates, friends, and family at the Fair.
Quest 2018 9
Leadership
We applaud our student leaders of all ages who enrich Leadership at King evolves through personal development and action. The process of exploring leadership theory and understanding one’s own strengths and weaknesses allows students to engage in powerful learning experiences and influence change. “Leadership comes with doing, not just thinking. You don’t just arrive at being a leader. Ethical development, character building, knowing yourself, and knowing others are all part of the process,” said Becky Rabassa, Chair of Counseling Department and Director of Leadership Program. As students move through all three divisions they assume leadership roles in academics, club activities, athletics, and service while receiving guidance and feedback from Faculty and from their classmates. For students passionate about developing their understanding and practice of Leadership, they can choose to pursue a Leadership Distinction. King’s first Leadership Distinction candidates graduated in 2018 after completing three years of study in leadership foundations, public speaking, AP Comparative Government, and Philosophy, among other requirements. To earn a Leadership Distinction at King, a student must demonstrate an understanding of leadership theory and meaningfully apply a strong skill set to coursework, leadership roles, and a Capstone Project.
12 Quest 2018
Upper School: 1. Role Models on Campus: The Class of 2019 took their first step in establishing themselves as leaders of the Upper School when 30 members were selected last spring as Senior Leaders, replacing the Prefects, for their final year at King. Students had to apply for the position, seek references, sign the contract, and will be required to sit down with the faculty member overseeing their team for quarterly reviews. The Leaders are divided into three smaller teams focusing on Academics, Transitions, and Student Life. In May, the group met for the first time to sign their contracts and commit to the year-long position taking on many responsibilities and serving as role models in the Upper School. Students on the Academic Team will serve as tutors and peer support; students on the Transition Team will organize new student orientation and Shadow Day; and on the Student Life Team, students will organize assemblies and collaborate on ways to build community, along with many other projects. “At King, we believe in the importance of leadership in action. Students being able to speak about specific actions they took as a leader in the community is infinitely more valuable than the leadership title(s) they put on their resume when applying to college,” said Megan Yelton, US Assistant Dean of Students. She adds, “Having initiative, follow through, and strong communication skills and modeling the King Virtues will be key components to being a successful Senior Leader.” 2. Leading with Music: It didn’t take long for Sam Gleason ‘19 to take the lead. He arrived at King his sophomore year and immediately embraced the opportunity to explore his passion by diving deeper into his musical interests. Last spring, Sam organized and managed the first King Music Festival - a benefit festival to support Project Music, a non-profit after school music education program that provides free lessons and instruments to Stamford residents. The Festival featured over 14 bands from area schools, including five from King, and the headlining act, The Funky Dawgz Brass Band. Sam comments, “King gave me a level of freedom that I did not expect. I had support from so many different places but it was always my vision. King allows students to carve their own path and focus on areas of personal interest.” The King Music Festival raised $3,500 to go directly to Project Music!
in Action
our community with their passion and action.
Middle School: 1. Leading in Student Council: Max Wachter and Chase Philips found their voice last year as Grade 6 Leaders. Max utilized his Math skills and organizational aptitude in his role as Student Council Treasurer and Chase took advantage of his personality as a communicator and good listener to enhance his role as the Grade 6 Class Agent. Max comments, “King pushes us to be our best and the Virtues are always present, which remind us to make the right choices and be a good leader.” Chase adds, “A leader should be responsible, intelligent, honest and able to speak up but also listen. I follow the Virtues and try to be a good King citizen every day.” 2. Service Leaders: It was important for Grade 8 students Hayden Laramie and Nicole Roer to make a difference and to ignite change for others. Last year, Hayden was the Service Ambassador for the Middle School and Nicole was Co-Diversity Leader. Both students participated in the Annual King Cares Service Day, helping to make quilts, and Hayden traveled to Costa Rica last summer, on a service and immersion trip, to deliver them to young mothers. Both students also participated in the Lower School buddies program and the King Cares 5K. “I think a good leader needs to be open minded, understand different perspectives, and provide a voice for other students,” said Hayden and Nicole adds, “We all can make a difference even in the smallest way. Serving others opens our eyes to the world around us.”
Lower School: 1. A Passion for Reading: Grade 2 student Patrick Sponheimer loves to read and wanted to share his passion with his classmates. Last year, he suggested the idea of a Grade 1 Book Club where he could gather after school with interested students and delve deeper into reading and comprehension. He took charge and organized the club, recruiting 10 friends and two US students to provide guidance and fun. “Even at his young age, Patrick showed great leadership qualities. The Book Club was his own idea and he took his love of reading and was able to share it with his friends. It truly improved his and the other participants’ reading skills and they enjoyed spending time together after school,” said Sonia Benedetto, Grade 1 Faculty. 2. Leaders in Service: As Lower School leaders, Grade 5 students are a vital part of the King Cares Program and serve as role models to the younger students. Alex Esposito visited the Westover and Franklin Commons preschools every Thursday. The preschoolers are always happy to see Alex. He is patient and is a good teacher; playing with them in the block corner, doing crafts and reading books, always with a smile on his face. “I know doing a small deed can make a big difference,” said Alex. His classmate Felicity Goudie was part of the Protect Your Environment Club since it began a few years ago. Last year, she served at the Soup Kitchen and is always willing to help out. With quiet dedication and determination, Felicity brings a can-do attitude to her service pursuits. “It feels good to help others and it also makes you realize how lucky we are. It is also a good opportunity to practice one of our King Virtues: kindness,” said Felicity.

JOHN QUA KLHT '08 TAKES A
GRASSROOTS APPROACH TO LEADERSHIP
John Qua KLHT '08 was overwhelmed looking out over the crowd. The rally had taken months to organize and over the course of minutes, everything was going wrong. The rain poured down, the power went out, and he was sure the headline speaker would cancel. Despite his fear, the crowd appeared undeterred. Then word came, the speaker was on-site and ready. Just as doubt seemed to prevail, the headline speaker, presidential nominee Barack Obama, stepped on stage to deliver his message of hope. The crowd was electrified. The moment was not only distilled in an iconic photograph that would come to epitomize the 2008 campaign, but also became a defining moment for John. Fresh out of King and just 18, John realized the power of people and fixed his sights on a career as a community organizer. “King was instrumental in preparing me for that moment. It pushed me to take on leadership in ways that I don’t think were available at other schools,” he said from his Washington D.C. office where he is a Senior U.S. Field Organizer for Global Zero, a movement to ban nuclear weapons. A King “lifer,” John’s formative King years were all that stood between him and his work with Obama, which took place during his post-graduation gap year. At King, he served as captain of the math team and co-founded the gay-straight alliance. With the national conversation focused on gay marriage, John and the alliance received approval from the School to lead sit down discussions about LGBT issues with Middle School students. As he submerged himself in

It was in Ghana that he realized if he wanted to have impact on impoverished places around the globe, he needed to engage in the American political system. With Obama heading to Washington and Ghana in his wake, John headed to Brown University where he dove deeper into his interests fueled by guest speakers such as Bill McKibben, one of the country’s largest climate activists, and Noam Chomsky. “My passion for activism really deepened during these years, solidifying my resolve to follow that course in my post Brown life.” After Brown, John worked on campaigns to ban fracking and to shed light on factory farm malpractices before heading to Washington and joining Global Zero where he has heightened its national presence for the past two years. Drawing on the same leadership and communication skills he employed when starting the gay straight alliance at King, John organizes student and community chapters across the country to advocate for a world without nuclear weapons. “The most important things to focus on, especially with an apocalyptic issue like nuclear weapons, is a vision of hope,” he said, echoing Obama’s message of 2008.

BREAKING BARRIERS H
H
By the time Tracy Dufault KLHT '89 took command of her 101st Airborne unit, she had broken more than a few barriers. She was an academic standout at King, who skipped Grade 8 and went right in to high school. She was recruited by West Point, becoming one of the first women to graduate from the Academy. Tracy was the first female commander of the unit, the 2-17 Cav. She was also the only woman in the Army flying the Kiowa helicopter and was poised to be the first woman to lead her unit on a mission into Bosnia. Harvard had just accepted Tracy into its prestigious business school. She decided to defer, and Harvard was happy to wait for someone so rare. As her unit stood ready to deploy, the military changed direction at the last minute. With no missions on the horizon, Tracy decided to leave active duty and head to Harvard. En route to Boston and with just days left in her active duty, the U.S. military entered Iraq. Tracy, an officer to the bone, immediately enlisted in the Reserves so she could continue to lend her expertise to the mission. Throughout her time at Harvard, she trained countless soldiers as they prepared for war. Tracy’s success is incredible, but it was not always clear to her what drove that and why she excelled. She used to believe it was the result of her time at West Point. But a visit back to King during her military days provided to her a new perspective. “I was a lieutenant at the 10th Mountain Division when my economics Teacher, Mr. Dan Hudson, who I absolutely loved, asked me to come speak to the Cum Laude Society,” she said. “I had graduated the Academy, gone to flight school, and been in the Army for three years at the 16 Quest 2018

I had broken all sorts of barriers but I was really struggling with being the ‘pioneer-woman’.” She prepared a speech based on preconceptions people have about the military. “There is a notion that people in
As he introduced her, Mr. Hudson read the recommendation letter he had written to West Point on her behalf, a letter Tracy had never seen. Mr. Hudson advised the Academy’s admissions officers that if they were looking for someone who follows the rules blindly, never asks questions and always stays in her lane, they ought not accept Tracy. “He said in recommending me for West Point that I possessed all of the qualities that I thought I had yet to develop,” she said. “He basically ruined my speech by covering all of the things I was going to talk about. I had to improvise after that, but it was surprising and affirming that West Point did not create those attributes in me; it just helped me find them so I could believe in them and in myself.” Whatever leadership magic she possessed, the military certainly put Tracy to the test. “Early on, I had to be better than a man just to get equal credit, if that. I had to put up with things I hope to God my daughter will not have to because I have already done the hard

I learned early how to operate in the world of men.” Even before she had her daughter, the women who would come behind her were always on her mind. “Everything that you do as a woman, particularly in the military when I was coming up, is recognized more. Men had a quiet allegiance to each other. If a man was weak, he was an exception to the rule, but if a woman was strong, she was the exceptionto the rule. As I matured, I started to see that some women enjoyed being the exception to the rule, but they did not lift up other women coming behind them.” In fact, that dynamic was part of Tracy’s decision to leave the military. After Harvard, she went to work for H-E-B, a grocery chain based in Texas, followed by a job at General Mills. In September 2017, she was hired by Walmart as the VP of Merchandising. Along the way, she has built a reputation in the industry as being an agent of change by building teams according to corporate objectives. Still, her leadership style is informed by her military years. “I found the leaders I responded to were empowering leaders. Great leaders empower you to go for it and guide you and mentor you but get out of your way, and are not threatened by the fact that you are smarter, faster, or younger than them. In fact, they thrive off of it because you make them look good.” Her leadership experience on multiple fronts also leaves Tracy knowing that great leadership is both ever changing and situational. “I think the two key ingredients to great leadership are, number one, never stop growing yourself, and number two, the leader you need to be is not about your leadership style but it is about the people you are leading and the leadership they need in that moment in time. Once you get that, it makes you a billion times better.”
"Great leaders empower you to go for it and guide you and mentor you but get out of your way, and are not threatened by the fact that you are smarter, faster, or younger than them."

IMPORTANTLY, THE FACULTY NOT ONLY KNOW THE STUDENTS, BUT ALSO TAKE GREAT JOY IN CHALLENGING EACH STUDENT TO REALIZE HIS OR HER INDIVIDUAL PERSONAL BEST.
18 Quest 2018
What about King appealed to you? I have enjoyed working in independent schools for more than thirty years and I knew I’d found a wonderful match in King when I first visited. I believe in the amazing talents young children bring to school every day and I know the powerful impact of a robust early childhood and elementary school program. I am attracted to how the King community understands that academic excellence goes hand in hand with kindness and academic and personal growth. I believe King students engage deeply in their own learning and this empowers students to achieve their personal best. I am eager to bring my experience to help shape the vibrant future of King’s wonderful Lower School.
and by providing rich opportunities for growth as students strive to realize their individual potential. LS Faculty use student-centered approaches to teaching and learning, leveraging the latest research on best practices in education. A dedicated Director of Teaching and Learning in the Lower School, and in each division, supports the Faculty. King has developed a proprietary, internal system that highlights each student’s strengths, challenges, and goals. Teachers actively contribute to and utilize this database to support each student’s development over time as a student moves through our challenging academic program.
What do you feel distinguishes King from other schools? Our student-centered program distinguishes King from its peers. King Faculty know students as individuals and understand them as learners. Our small class size is key: Teachers and students know each other and care deeply about being together as invested members of a classroom community. These close relationships between Lower School students and Teachers, and the partnership with Teachers and parents, allow students to get to know themselves as learners. This self-awareness empowers them and opens up more avenues to explore and succeed. It is this approach to teaching and learning – knowing each student’s personal passions and goals – that I believe is at the center of King School.
What is your initial impression of the King community? In speaking with Teachers, students, and parents, I have felt so warmly welcomed. I can tell that people at King genuinely care for and listen to one another. I’m drawn to the King Virtues of integrity, kindness, perseverance, and respect. I believe these exemplify the community’s commitment to inclusion, social responsibility, and skills needed to succeed in a multicultural world.
How does King challenge students? Teachers respect students as learners by asking them to stretch their capacity beyond the comfortable and known,
How would you describe the King Lower School STEM program? STEM is integrated throughout PreKGrade 12 and students understand how these disciplines influence one another. In the Lower School, a new Makerspace provides inspiration and tools for students to tinker and practice designing solutions to real world problems, so students gain a greater sense of self-confidence and purpose. Students develop elementary concepts of computer programming while enhancing their fine motor skills using iPads, Scratch programming, and animation software. The Singapore Math Program provides students with solid skills in numeracy, pattern recognition, and geometric relationships.
What is the Readers and Writers workshop? The Readers and Writers workshop approach helps Lower School students become avid and skilled readers and writers. Teachers are able to address both whole group skills and differentiate for the needs of individual students
within smaller groups and one-on-one meetings. The goals established for each student are informed by assessments. Students spend large amounts of time reading and writing, engaging with material that is of high interest and aligns with their personal goals. Using a “just right” book, a book which a student can both decode and comprehend, and writing about a topic that has meaning to the student, stretches each student to achieve his or her personal best.
What is your main focus during your first year at King? During my first year at King, I will be getting to understand, at a deep level, the complexities of supporting the Lower School community. This means getting to know students and their families, the Teachers, and others who work with Lower School students. At the same time, I will be leading conversations and programmatic work with the Faculty, including the addition of Responsive Classroom practices. Responsive Classroom is an open-ended structure for enhancing classroom communities and building strong learning routines across the Lower School.
Tell us a few things about yourself that someone might not know. After more than a decade in Philadelphia and Washington, DC, I am delighted to be back in New England! I grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts and am a devoted Red Sox fan. My husband, Tom, is also an educator. He, too, has worked in independent schools for over three decades, primarily focusing on work with Middle School students and Humanities. Tom is thrilled to join the King community as MS History and English Faculty. Tom and I are proud that our only daughter, Ella, has followed in our footsteps. Ella is an elementary school teacher at an independent school outside of Boston. When we are not at work, we enjoy time together as a family at our home in Norfolk, Connecticut. We love to hike with our dog, Jonesie, cook meals for friends, and play games. We are avid cribbage players and love making puzzles, too! Happily, our move to this area puts us closer to family in New York City, Providence, RI, Boston, MA, and Concord, NH. Quest 2018 19
NEDGINE PAUL KLHT ‘04 CHANGING
EDUCATION IN HAITI ONE TEACHER AT A TIME
Nedgine Paul KLHT '04 is revolutionizing education in Haiti, and that comes as no surprise to Mr. Galanopoulos, Chair of King’s history department. That she would make positive change in the world was evident during her school days at King when she demonstrated her love of learning and her capacity to be a changemaker. And it is people like Mr. Galanopoulos who still serve as her guiding light. “At King I started to fall in love with education. It was then that I started to explore how to get involved in education professionally and I started tutoring,” Nedgine said from her native Haiti. “I was encouraged by people like Mr. Galanopoulos during those years, especially in history, to be an informed leader. After King, I enrolled at Yale where I wrote my senior thesis about the history of education in Haiti. It was then that I realized education reform was possible and that I could return to Haiti with this focus.” Nedgine, in turn, resonated with Mr. Galanopoulos. "I will always remember Nedgine for being a true scholar and citizen of the world, a promising and inspired student with an unprecedented depth of understanding for the human condition, and love of humanity." From high school through her master's degree, the one core concept that kept coming up in Nedgine’s research was that education systems are not necessarily about curriculum or technology, but they are about the people. As a result, she co-founded and serves as CEO to Anseye Pou Ayiti (APA), a nonprofit organization with the mission of reforming the Haitian education system by recruiting, training, and supporting high-quality teachers. In essence, APA is working with Haitian

doing the work and who have been doing it since before I came back to Haiti. They are the leaders we need to succeed.” APA’s goal is to impact 20,000 civic leaders in Haiti by 2020, including their teacher-leaders, students, and community members. The selection process is tough, and the demand is great: this year there were 700 applicants and only 45 were accepted. Nedgine is looking for specific attributes when selecting candidates for the program, particularly the humility to lead from behind, and the mindset that leadership is really about the collective.
In 2016 Nedgine was selected for the Forbes Magazine “30 Under 30” Social Entrepreneurs. communities to create a network of civic leaders and build an equitable education system based on shared history, values, and vision. “We are in the business of leadership. In this program, students are teaching at the same time they are receiving leadership development,” Nedgine said. “In fact, leadership is so central to what we are doing, we call our teachers ‘teacher-leaders.’ These are the people who are in the trenches every day, who are
“We select really strong change agents from across the country. These are people who are interested in going back to the rural villages where they grew up, to help people pull themselves and the entire community out of really desperate situations.” Taking on the Haitian education system is daunting, yet Nedgine is inspired daily by those she is teaching. “Imagine being a product of a system you are trying to change, when all you have ever known is to repeat after the teacher and never to ask questions, and then changing that system. The fact that our teacher-leaders have been able to debunk all these myths about what is possible and actually lead it themselves, that is what
AT KING I STARTED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH EDUCATION. It was then that I started to explore how to get involved in education professionally and I started tutoring,” Nedgine said from her native Haiti. “I was encouraged by people like Mr. Galanopoulos during those years, especially in history, to be an informed leader."
has been very powerful to me.” Nedgine's own leadership has gained national attention. In 2014, she was named among the top global social innovators by Echoing Green, and in 2016 she was selected for the Forbes Magazine “30 Under 30” Social Entrepreneurs. In 2018 she was one of 20 selected from a pool of 20,000 for the Obama Foundation’s inaugural class of Obama Foundation Fellows. Nedgine continues to draw heavily on her own educational experience, still thankful for the teachers that guided her along the way. “It has been a leap of faith but it has been a faith journey in so many ways. I don't think it is by coincidence that certain people were put in my path. From the Mr. Galanopoulos of this world to my history professor at Yale, there are people who have had such transformative marks on my trajectory, I would not be here without them. It is humbling. I am so grateful.“
"The fact that our teacher-leaders have been able to debunk all these myths about what is possible and actually lead it themselves, that is what has been very powerful to me.”

Quest 2018 23
In His Own Words, A Message from Tom Main It has been an honor to serve this community for the past 16 years. Clearly, I have seen our School develop, deepen, and mature in many ways during my tenure.
Our students, our Board, our Faculty, our administration, our friends and Alumni, everyone that loves this school can claim shared responsibility for what we have become, and we share in the responsibility for King’s future.
develop these programs and our Board has intentionally and strategically planned for our Faculty and Administrators to develop in this way. We should be grateful for all their efforts - I certainly am. They have made us the school we are.
Central to any great educational institution are the people of the community. At King, our professional community of educators is always developing and improving, growing through personal effort, as well as professional growth and development supported by the School. They create new programs, expand current programs, and they are constantly searching for meaningful ways to connect with students. This professional community exists in a culture driven by our virtues - integrity, kindness, perseverance, and respect. I believe that our culture serves as the cradle for everything that happens here at King. We have shared in the establishment and nurturing of this culture.
Finally, we should all be proud of our improved facilities. Whether it’s the Middle School, Performing Arts Center, a renovated Upper School, a turf field, or a playground, we have all been committed to creating learning spaces that enhance student opportunities and success. We have created elegant and program driven physical spaces, which allow students and Teachers opportunities to do their best work. Building at schools is about creating opportunities. All of us, through our work on facilities, have created a superb range of opportunities for our students. We don’t build for the sake of building. We build to educate.
Our educators have been the architects of steady, intentional, and appropriate program growth. King offers a comprehensive global educational program, supports a department of teaching and learning that knows how to best reach students, created STEM programming that is comprehensive and cross-divisional, as well as diversity programming, service learning, athletics, visual and performing arts, and so much more. Also, our traditional departments, English, History, Math, Science, and World Languages, are high-powered, cross-divisional, and serve students incredibly well. Our Faculty and Administrators have worked hard to 24 Quest 2018
In closing, I’m immensely proud of what our School has done and become, and deeply thankful for the work so many of you have done for our School. King is profoundly committed to enabling each student to achieve his or her personal best through a thoughtfully designed, challenging program in which each student is an active, engaged, and deep learner; an exceptional Faculty who create meaningful relationships with students; and a kind, respectful, community guided by a powerful and positive culture. Thank you. I will carry this community with me as I move on and will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve King.
I believe that our culture serves as the cradle for everything that happens here at King. We have shared in the establishment and nurturing of this culture.
“I met Tom Main in 1983. I was 12 years old. He had just finished college at Bates and we thought he was the biggest person we’d ever seen. Tom was extra serious at first, trying to make up for his lack of experience. Despite his serious, stern exterior, everyone immediately liked him. He was teacher, coach, and mentor. He helped us with our moral compasses as well as English and Grammar. He had a positive impact on so many people. I envied Tom, because he always knew his true calling and he wasted no time on other pursuits. King is what it is in no small part because of Tom. He will forever be a part of the fabric of the school.” – Read Hubbard ‘89
Quest 2018 25
In Our Own Words ... A Tribute to Tom Main “I met Tom in 1983 when he was hired to teach English and coach football at King School. Coordination between Low-Heywood Thomas and King was growing and it was easy to identify the strengths of both schools. Tom Main was certainly one of them. His skills as a successful classroom teacher and the quality of the relationship Tom had with his students and players made him a most valuable, professional educator.
Under Tom’s leadership, King has experienced a true transformation – from major upgrades to our physical campus to the elevation of our academic programs. I appreciate many things about Tom, including his ability to build strong relationships and bring vision to reality. The work he has done to grow our financial resources through the annual fund and our endowment leaves us in a strong position moving forward, and I’m especially grateful for all he has given to our students over the past 16 years. – Tom Conheeney, P’16,‘16,‘18, President, Board of Trustees
When Tom came to me at the end of the 1989-90 school year and said he had a new opportunity, I was happy for him but not for our Schools. I told Tom that I believed he had the potential to be a Head of School one day and if he ever needed a recommendation I would support him. Years later, in 2000, the phone rang. My husband answered it and said to me, “You will want to take this one.” It was Tom telling me he was a candidate for a headship position. I was absolutely thrilled when he said it was at KLHT. The rest is history and what a remarkable 16 years it has been. During my tenure as Head of School I often described its stages as “surviving, arriving, and aspiring.” Now, as an alumna, a parent, and a grandparent I say, with appreciation and gratitude, “ Tom, your outstanding leadership has brought us to the stage of “thriving.” – Sue Cesare, P’78, GP’12,
’26, Former Headmistress
“Mr. Main was the backbone of King — he set high standards for his Faculty, staff and students. His leadership ultimately helped foster a warm culture that enabled learning and personal growth. I’ll always remember Mr. Main as a friendly face to greet in the morning, my middle school lacrosse coach and an all-around great guy! Thank you for your dedication to the School and best of luck! Your legacy at King will certainly be lasting.”
–Alex Britton ‘14
26 Quest 2018
“Tom’s impact on King is truly transformational! Most noteworthy is his exceptional leadership to establish King as a mission-driven school of educational excellence. With a tireless enthusiasm and optimism, he successfully educated two generations of parents about the importance of philanthropic generosity beyond tuition dollars – always in the spirit of providing the best education while furthering our Mission. The results are evident in a dramatically transformed campus that serves students’ interests. Also, Tom’s uncompromising ambition to create a superb faculty is grounded in virtually limitless PG&D resources – a collective commitment to deepen pedagogical practices, increase our subject knowledge, and improve our understandings of child development and learning. Most important, Tom cares deeply about our students’ well-being. Whether it’s in the boardroom or on the field, his decisions were always made in the best interests of the students. Without question, Tom exceeded expectations in creating a mission-driven school dedicated to prepare its students to 'thrive in a rapidly changing world.' This is a legacy that will benefit King students for generations to come!”
– Alex Weiner, Dean of Faculty, P’13, ‘15
I have had the honor and privilege of serving on the Board with Tom for 13 years. His dedication, energy, and enthusiasm always brought out the best in everyone around him. His passion for the School, compassion for its students, and his unwavering sense of fairness exemplify the qualities of the leaders we hope to shape. Thanks to Tom’s vision and steadfastness over the years, much has changed at King. Yet the character, the values, and the unique spirit remain intact." – Edward Orenstein P'09,'11,'13,'16 "Tom’s tenure at King was in two phases. He arrived at King in 1983 and spent six years as a faculty member, coach, and athletic director. In 2002, he was thrilled to return to King as Head of School. Armed with a positive outlook, boundless energy, and a drive for relentless improvement, Tom had a transformational impact on King. This impact is seen in so many areas including facilities, fundraising, professional growth and development, people, programs, and community. While there is no doubt around the significance of this impact, Tom is always quick to point out that King is about the students, and the success of each student every day is King’s priority. Thank you, Tom!" – Kim Leeker, Associate Head
of School, Finance and Operations
Tom Main was the right man at the right time for King School. It is hard to imagine a more transformational 16-year period. I’ve been told many times by Alumni and former parents that the school today is unrecognizable to the one they knew from the past decades. Getting all parties concerned to believe that the tremendous achievements which have occurred could occur was essential. Tom’s leadership, energy, and irrepressible optimism were the cornerstone of that belief. – Peter Reinemann P’06, ’08, ‘10, Former President, Board of Trustees
“Many appreciable changes have taken place at King since Tom arrived! Esteemed as a leader, he worked well with all our Boards, and together we reached the goal of becoming the outstanding school we are today. Tom’s intelligence, hard work, strategic thinking, and charm have touched us all. It was a privilege to work closely with Tom during the full construction of the PAC and the Upper School renovation. These transformative projects will forever be associated with his name. A monumental congratulations to Tom!

Quest 2018 27
The Millerchip Family, in honor of Tom Main, has made a lead gift to a new fund called The Tom Main Liberal Arts Research Fellowship.
Millerchip Family Gift Creates New Opportunity for Students to Research a Topic of Global Political, Cultural, or Social Importance. The 21st century is characterized by changing circumstances as new economies emerge, global interactions among nations shift, and new technologies change the way people interact. Thanks to a generous gift, a few King students each year will have a new opportunity to research current global issues and travel to explore them in person. The Millerchip Family, in honor of Tom Main, has made a lead gift to a new fund called The Tom Main Liberal Arts Research Fellowship. The fund will support an annual research project by King students on a topic of global political, cultural, or social importance. Chris and Gillian Millerchip P’17, ‘21 are passionate about the big conversations happening on a global scale, particularly as it relates to the issues of wealth disparity, healthcare, and the rise of nationalism. Describing the impetus for the new fund, the Millerchips explain,
"Under Tom Main's leadership, King has strengthened its commitment to the liberal arts. We believe that the study of liberal arts has never been more important in a world where nationalism is replacing multilateralism, the dangers of climate change are being ignored, and democracy itself is under threat. Only a liberal arts education can teach us the lessons of the past and help us navigate our way to a better future.” Students can apply for the Fellowship by submitting a research proposal. If selected, they will be given a Faculty mentor who will provide guidance for the duration of the semester-long research project, including the critical component of international travel. They will present their completed research to the Upper School community and submit it for publication. “We hope that the Tom Main Liberal Arts Research Fellowship will give outstanding King students the opportunity to study many of these big global issues from an interdisciplinary perspective and form their own conclusions on how to make the world a better place," said Chris and Gillian Millerchip. Lauren Fredette, Director of Development, added, “We are so grateful to the Millerchips for their generosity and leadership. Our hope is that this program will grow each year. If you are passionate about global issues and research opportunities for students, please contact the development office to discuss how your gift can help." 28 Quest 2018
In honor of King School's former Head of School from 2002 to 2018, the Middle School Commons has been renamed "The Main Commons" As a central hub of activity on King's campus, its new name is befitting of the way it is used — for study halls, meetings, parent gatherings, and even school dances. Tom Main was instrumental in leading the campaign to build the Middle School, and it was decided to be the perfect space with which to honor him. Students, Staffulty, Parents, and Trustees gathered on June 8, 2018 to dedicate its new name and celebrate Tom Main's sixteen years as Head of King School.
Global Leadership Summit in Berlin In July, a group of King Students participated in a Global Leadership Summit in Berlin to examine the influence of technology on society. As future global leaders, they were invited to be part of a global community, and to contribute to positive changes for generations to come. To prepare for the Summit, students participated in a yearlong project developing an educational platform and digital app to support and inform their immersive tour across Eastern Europe. US Faculty Gilles Chosson, Isabelle Dionisius, and Ian Lear-Nickum guided the directed research. Three small groups focused on the history and culture of the countries featured on the tour (Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary). These groups also examined how technological advancements during the WW2 and the Cold War eras played a significant role on the shaping of events. The fourth group, led by Ms. Dionisius, worked on developing the platform and coding the app. The King Community was able to ‘follow’ the group’s travels using the app. At the Summit, students were exposed to a wealth of new ideas, grew as individuals, and designed solutions that harness the power and potential of technology to improve peoples' daily lives. They were inspired by the stories of notable speakers such as Randy Zuckerberg, Jason Latimer, Andini Makosinski, and Glen Keane so that they could rethink the role of technology and also consider how one might use it to push the boundaries of what is possible. “Our students were challenged to assess from multiple perspectives, to dare greatly, and to dream with a purpose. By stepping out of their comfort zone, our students had a chance to shift perspectives and make this experience transformative; this educational journey provided students with a chance to continue making a difference over the course of their lives," said Dr. Chosson.

The Nash family has generously established The King School Advanced Mathematics and Science Study Program.
The King School Advanced Mathematics and Science Study Program supports independent study, competitive preparation, and laboratory research for qualified students. Bea Nash ‘15 and her brother William Nash ‘17 are currently studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and plan to pursue careers in science and technology. Each made a name for themselves globally through STEM competitions. Will finished in the #2 position globally in the Physics Bowl's highest level of competition, and Bea placed sixth. Will comments, "I was very surprised and happy with my Physics Bowl score. I competed with 6,000 students globally in the highest Physics Bowl division, so to place second worldwide was beyond anything I had expected. I was fortunate to have great science and math Teachers at King School; I owe thanks to them.” Knowing the importance of STEM and these external competitions in the college selection process, the Nash family has generously provided the lead gift to a new endowed fund that establishes the King School Advanced Mathematics and Science Study Program. This new initiative at King School will focus on promoting and encouraging increased access to STEM experiences for students with demonstrated aptitude for achievement in these areas. Each year, a small group of students who clearly demonstrate an ability and interest in achieving true excellence within science, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics will be selected for independent study and competition preparation, and/or a laboratory research experience, based on the rigorous standards of the American Math and Science Research program. Upon completing a comprehensive application process, the selected students will be given the opportunity to prepare for national competitions in the STEM area(s) in which each student is particularly focused, and/or to design and execute an original research project of each student’s choice in the mathematical, biological, physical, or computer sciences. Each student will work in collaboration with a King Faculty mentor and professors, specialty educators, or a professional research scientist at a university and/or other research institution in the neighboring community.
King School is extremely grateful to Margharet and Frank Nash P’15, ‘17 for providing the foundational endowment gift, which will enhance the experience of many students in their pursuit of excellence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for years to come. 34 Quest 2018

Some events to stay tuned for this year: King Homecoming is on October 20.
What are the best ways for Alumni to stay engaged with King? It’s wonderful to see Alumni actively engaged with King in ways that are meaningful to them …
We will have an Alumni tent and activities the whole family can enjoy. Come reconnect, show School pride, and visit campus. So many Alumni who visit campus are amazed by the changes.
Join us at the Homecoming Alumni Tailgate, Reception, and Reunions!
• Attend Homecoming, Alumni Receptions, and Reunions. • Visit campus and engage with students and Faculty through speaking opportunities, attending a school musical, visiting our new Innovation Lab or joining other campus activities. • Share your life stories and updates with fellow Alumni through a class note or by writing us at alumni@kingschoolct.org, for an "Alumni Spotlight" social media post • Connect with other Alumni on King School Connect

Thomas Class of ‘68 50th Reunion We just celebrated a wonderful 50th reunion in May. Since 1978, we have gathered in Rowayton, where Thomas was located, every five years (this was our 9th reunion!). Our class is truly committed to these reunions (even more so as time goes by) and, once again, we began arriving Friday by plane, train and automobile from all over the country. Our graduating class had just 27 women and, unfortunately, three have passed away – Karen Smith, Margot (Theis) Raven and Pat (Whelpley) Barton. They are missed. Eighteen of us came this year; only six were not present because of travel or personal/family reasons. And, this was the first reunion for one of us, Shelley (Carpenter) Brown -- some hadn’t seen her in 50 years, so it was very exciting indeed! Part of our tradition is to line up in front of the old Thomas mansion (Rock Ledge in Rowayton, now home to a hedge fund) for a class photo; this year we even pulled it off in the rain! The reunion officially kicked off Saturday at noon – we ate, drank, laughed, danced to live music (from our era) until late that night. Our class surprised Susan (Wilson) Mansfield, who has hosted the reunions at her home, by giving her tickets to see Hamilton which we discovered is on her bucket list! (She’s taking her granddaughter, Isabella White, who is a student at King.) Sunday morning, we had breakfast and then reluctantly parted ways with smiles on our faces and fabulous new memories. As one our classmates shared, “I feel honored to call such an amazing, accomplished, intelligent group of women my friends.” We do know that we owe much of who we are to Mabel Thomas’ vision for education and are very grateful that we attended Thomas. Although some of us will manage to get together between reunions, we look forward to coming together as a class in 2023 for our 55th!
Campbell Networking Event Our Alumni in the Financial Industry joined Parents at The Campbell in NYC for a networking event in February.
Kingtucky Derby Gala Our Alumni donned their Derby hats at the Kingtucky Derby on April 28!
As we look forward to this year, we want to encourage all of our Alumni to attend as many events as possible! If you have not been receiving invitations through email and would like to, please email alumni@kingschoolct.org. It is always wonderful to get together and reconnect!

1981 KING SCHOOL ROY SCHINDELE Roy shares, “life as a "Kingsman" has been very good to me ... truly blessed! I never fully appreciated all the rules and regulations such as the need to button the top button of our shirts back in the day as a student, but as I got older, I appreciate what I learned at King School and appreciate the fact that we were taught far more than just academia. 60-70% of the jobs that exist today did not exist in the 80's ... so what did King School teach us that is still relevant after all this time? Integrity, tenacity, honor, respect, honesty, morals, values, self-discipline, motivat ion, ambition, inspiration, punctuality and yes when I'm in the blazing sun in Florida with my tie on and top button secured... I actually look like I like it. Swift deployment of 1 hour Saturday detentions from Mr. Applebee was good motivation and incentive, at the time, to keep that top button fastened ...lol... and I now appreciate the lesson learned: practice makes perfect. King School was and continues to be exceptional because of the school's commitment not to just educate and make people book smart, but to help each person prepare for life, a career, and provide guidance enabling us to grow into our full potential as well rounded human beings and contributing members of society, no matter what the future holds for us.

After King School, I joined my family business, Fairfield Medical, and was Director of Operations and supervised product installation of our equipment manage ment and gas delivery systems in hospitals all over the world. The business was sold in 1986, after which I patented a slip-on earring product called the EARLING and founded a company, RDS Industries, which was the marketing arm, to bring this unique product to market. In 2005 I was offered to join another family business owned and operated by Mr. Arnold Palmer (the golfer). I jumped at the chance to become Mr. Palmer's Director of Sales and Marketing to help elevate and build his iconic brand while driving revenue to several. After 13 years, it's still such an honor to be considered "part of the family" and proud to have been given the opportunity to contribute to this iconic man's overall brand and image. Anyone who wants to stay and play here at Bay Hill in Orlando, send me a note: rschindele@bayhill.com - all Alumni and student families will get special friend and family rates. On a personal note, I have resolved myself to enjoy life now and not wait for retirement someday and a few years ago embarked on the best midlife crisis ever! I enjoy motorcycling and still have the first bike I bought in 1981, the year I graduat ed from King School. I've added to the fleet over time to include a Boulevard (need ear-plugs for that one) and the new 3 wheel CanAm for long comfortable rides. My longest trip so far was 1,300 miles. I enjoy riding on the weekends, often going to a little vacation condo I have in Astor, FL on the St. John river next to the Ocala National Forest. It's only an hour from work and is the perfect place to unwind while enjoying boating to the natural springs, and Jeep & ATV rides in the forest. I also enjoy traveling for busines s and pleasure. Recent vacations included extended stays exploring Iceland, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Morocco and next is a Russian River cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg. I love to learn about different cultures, local cuisine, seeing UNESCO World Heritage sights, meeting new people and making friends all over the world.

On September 6, 2017, Hurricane Irma hit Anguilla, where Peter lives and owns a restaurant called The Straw Hat. Following this devastation, Peter reports, “Anguilla is recovering well, but they still have a few things that are going to take a bit longer to get back to normal. We had severe damage at the restaurant but we were very lucky at home. A few of our employees suffered great losses, and our focus was on helping them get immediate assistance. We had a fundraising effort online and were able to raise almost $50,000 which was distributed, on an as-needed basis, to those who needed it most. The rest of the money was distributed to the rest of the staff and allowed them to get supplies (food, water, gas/diesel) and circulate some money on the island. Electricity has been restored on the island after more than 100 days without, and TV, communications, and internet are coming back online day by day.” On June 9, 2018, Peter returned from a hurricane fundraising trip to London and reports, “The restaurant and the island is getting back to normal slowly. Most of the hotels should be reopening in November and in time for next season. We need people to come visit (and hope and pray that they don't see any storms this hurricane season!). Thanks again for keeping us in your thoughts. It has been a tough nine months, but we are Anguilla Strong and we're getting through! The most impactful way one can help the island recover is to visit!

Senior Giving The final year at King is a special one for students and parents alike. In addition to their regular work and demanding college application process, students and parents reflect on their time at King and each give thoughtful gifts to benefit future generations of students. For the Class of 2018, this means a donation of meaningful works of literature from the students; the parents made generous donations to the Legacy Fund, which, as an endowment, will continue to support financial aid and faculty development.
Thank you and good luck to the Class of 2018!
