NewHamptonSchool New Hampton School

About a month ago, more than 300 students walked onto our campus and joyfully embraced friends and faculty, even welcoming newcomers with equally unbridled enthusiasm. The arrival of the students is a long awaited day each August and our anticipation is met with an inspiring surge of energy as the community comes to life. As July quickly became August, and the start of the school year rapidly approached, faculty, staff, parents and student leaders partnered with one another in preparation for the school year.

Head of School Joe Williams, in his first few months on the ground, acknowledges that he, like our new students, has had to seek information, and occasionally stumble through navigating a new task, finding a new building, or operating an unfamiliar system. Each time, the generous helping hands of the community aid in making each new challenge accessible. It’s no wonder, that as he has begun this first year at New Hampton, he has chosen to adopt the motto “Better Together.”

Using that same guiding principle, I’ve navigated the pages within this Hamptonia.

Publishing a 100-page magazine is no small feat, let alone doing it for the first time. I’ve been lucky enough to have the support of a dedicated Advancement Office, passionate administrators, committed and caring faculty, and a talented graphic designer. Each time I reached out to alumni or a current students to help gather content and share stories, I was met with a quick and enthusiastic reply; “Of course! I would be thrilled to speak with you about my New Hampton School experience.”

As you will read within, we are certainly stronger, brighter and more vibrant because of the strength of our alumni, the ties to our campus and New Hampton School today.

In a comprehensive exploration of the

International Baccalaureate by current Chair of the English Department Chelsea Woodard, our first class of IB Diploma recipients, who recently graduated from college, share how the demanding curriculum prepared them for their future in college and beyond. We sit down with Head of School Joe Williams for an early conversation to learn more about his history, his family, and what motivates him in schools and in educating young people. Former English Faculty Eric McCollom captures reflections from Frank Motley ’66 on how New Hampton has shaped his life, particularly as a black male from the south during a tumultuous period of US history. His perspective on the past and present contextualize the value of a New Hampton School education and how it shapes one’s worldview moving forward.

When we reflect on the Better Together theme guiding campus life this year we ought to also apply it to our greater community of alumni, parents, and friends of the school. As Joe Williams stated in his keynote address at the 2016 Convocation Ceremony, “Be mindful of our past, committed to our exciting present, and stay focused on our bright future.” Our story unfolds, garners strength and continues onward.

FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

letter from the Head of School

NEW BEGINNINGS There is something special, and at the same time unsettling, about joining a new community. The purity of a fresh start and the excitement for new opportunities, challenges and relationships are all positive emotions that help supplant the awkwardness of being new.

As I begin my tenure at New Hampton School, I have a unique opportunity to reflect on change, and at the same time, I have the good fortune to join this special community.

I have been impressed by New Hampton from the outset. It is a warm, welcoming, and supportive community. Last September, when visiting for my interview, I attended a school meeting. I was struck by one particular item on the agenda. With little introduction, Hex, a first-year student from China, was introduced and invited to the front of McEvoy Theater to share some of her music. In a theatre full of students and faculty, she calmly picked up her Ehru (a Chinese stringed instrument) and proceeded to play with impressive energy and skill.

As her final note hung in the air the students and faculty in attendance leapt to their feet in raucous applause.

In that moment, the community reaction to Hex’s music spoke volumes to me about the inclusive nature of New Hampton School. I watched a young woman from another culture, in her first few weeks of school, take the stage and share a unique and unfamiliar passion. Without hesitation, the community rewarded her courage and talent with genuine enthusasim and awe. This must be a special place.

Since my arrival on campus there has been no shortage of examples likes Hex’s that showcase how our community comes together to welcome new members, build connections, and model our core values of respect and responsibility. In my first few days on campus I, too, have had to ask questions, and I have felt the uncertainty of being new to a community. Each time I reach out for clarity or insight, I am met with kindness, respect,

and patience. This is what it means to be welcomed and to be a part of an inclusive community. I look forward to modeling these core values, and furthering this culture as I familiarize myself even more with Husky Nation.

It is with great enthusiasm that I begin my time as a steward of this vibrant community, with a responsibility to honor our unique history and to ensure that each new member of our family is welcomed and supported in meaningful ways that will lead us all to an even brighter future.

Looking over the edge of a parking garage down at a train station, I was immediately intrigued by the strong lines and composition of the image. I was also fascinated by the symbolism of the picture — the paths crossing — representing the many times in my life my paths have crossed with others and how it all makes one whole. Originally taken in color, I filtered this image in black and white to heighten the contrast presented in the shadows and natural light occurring in the image.”

SETH BENJAMIN A native of Portland, Maine, Seth joined the New Hampton community in 2014. Seth arrived from Green Mountain College where he spent several years as the women’s soccer and lacrosse coach. Seth works in the Academic Support Program, coaches Men’s Varsity Soccer and assists with the Women’s Lacrosse program. Seth and his wife Bethany live on campus in Small House with their daughter Charlotte and dog Gatsby.

TWO THINGS I’VE LEARNED FROM MY PLAYERS THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING OPEN TO CHANGE I arrived at New Hampton two years ago and brought a new approach to coaching than what my players were used to in the past. In retrospect, my team approached each new drill, play, activity with an open mind and impressive patience.

I’ve been reminded by them how important it is to allow opportunity for change. Because of a great team attitude, we’ve made significant improvements to our game, ranking, and overall performance.

HOW TO HAVE MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE WITH TEENAGERS It takes time to build relationships. Living in a residential environment where my players are also my students and we live in houses together, I’ve learned a lot about how to connect with teenagers. As I build relationships with my players, students and house family, I’ve been able to have very meaningful conversations with students; conversations in which we question, challenge, share with, and learn from each other.

TWO STRATEGIES I USE TO ENHANCE MY TUTORIALS FOOD BUILDS RELATIONSHIPS It’s not infrequent that I will walk across the street with one of my Academic Support students at the start of our tutorial for a quick bite to eat. I’ve learned that this simple ritual helps put my students at ease. Stepping outside the building and sharing the brief experience of walking to the Country Store helps us connect, and we can be that much more focused and productive when we walk back into the ASP room.

REFLECTION PROMOTES GROWTH Part of working with my ASP students is to regularly take a step back from what we are doing to reflect on where they were several months ago and where they are today.

Sometimes as students struggle through new material they grow discouraged and lose sight of our long-term goals.

I’ve learned that taking a few moments to reflect on all the progress they have made to date is rewarding, and helps students motivate to continue progressing onward.

GREENHOUSE WHY AGROECOLOGY?

Our very own outdoor hoop house is New Hampton School’s personal agricultural creation lab. Here, students ask questions including “Do you know where your food comes from?” and “Could you grow your own food if you had to?” Over the course of the year, students explore current global issues such as food distribution, biotechnology, and the role of media and marketing in our personal choices.

GREENS 4 GRADUATION

Each spring Husky Nation grows greens in the greenhouse which are harvested and served at the Senior Dinner the evening before graduation.

The selection of greens includes mesclun, kale, arugula and more. On Earth Day, the whole community participates in planting seeds for the greens, which are then cared for by members of the AgroEcology class and dedicated faculty members Bekka Joslin and Jon Shackett. The home-grown greens are organic and eagerly served by Director of Dining Services Neal Shartar. The school-wide effort to plant and grow the greens comes full circle when they are shared with our greater community of students, family and friends before Baccalaureate ceremonies begin.

GLOBAL COMMUNITY SHI (LILY) CHEN Lily arrived at New Hampton School in the fall of 2012 having never visited campus.

Admittedly nervous and uncertain about her decision to attend a boarding school in the United States, Lily has modeled determination, patience, empathy and commitment ever since she embarked on her high school journey. An outstanding violinist, scientist, tennis player, and full International Baccalaureate (IB) student, Lily has embraced Husky Nation and reflects thoughtfully on what she’s gained from her four years on campus.

Hamptonia: You just finished your exams. How are you feeling?

Lily Chen: I think it went alright. I prepared well for some subjects, but for Spanish and history, I think it went a little...not that well. But I think I passed all the exams — that’s the main goal.

What did you learn from being a full IB student?

In the beginning of my junior year, it was very stressful for IB because we had a lot of stuff going on, and I had to prepare for the SAT and also for CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). I think what I learned the most about was managing my time and all the tasks I had to complete. And, I learned how to deal with my stress.

When you came to New Hampton were you planning to be an IB student?

Not really. When I arrived, I had little knowledge of IB. In China, we mainly talk about AP. So, when I first learned about the curriculum, I thought it was the same thing as AP. Since I have enrolled in IB, I have learned it’s more challenging than AP because we have more things to do. This is different than in China, where you can just take the exam and you don’t have to take a class. I think it’s more challenging here.

What’s next for you after New Hampton?

I’m going to Davidson College in North Carolina.

How did you pick Davidson?

It seems more focused on undergraduate education than a big university where there are undergraduates and graduates, and there are so many people. I think I can get more attention, more help, especially the career help from advisors. Also, I heard from other students that Davidson has really challenging academics, so I think it’s going to prepare me more for the future.

12 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

Did the community here influence your process when you started thinking about college?

Yes, the Davidson admission representative came to New Hampton several times and I was able to meet her.

She was very nice and friendly. My college counselor, Mrs. Berry, often told me that a liberal arts college might be a better fit for me instead of a big university because I’m sometimes shy and not very outgoing. I talked to her about my decision, and she fully supported me.

How are you different now than when you first arrived?

I remember when I first I arrived I was very, very nervous and overwhelmed because I didn’t know anyone here. I was shy about speaking English because I thought I had a strong accent, and I felt the people here were perfect English speakers. I practiced my English in my dorm, in classes and during presentations which helped my confidence a lot. I took public speaking classes at New Hampton. Over the years, I think I’ve become more confident in and out of classes, and more willing to participate in various activities in school.

What are you most proud of?

Most proud of? I think my public speaking skills. In China we don’t have to do presentations in front of our classmates. Here, we had to do a lot of presentations, and we also had to act as teachers in class and teach our classmates. I think that’s the most important thing that I learned here.

What was the biggest surprise when you first came to study in the US? The biggest surprise was how the class was organized, and how the teacher really wanted to make every student involved in the class, instead of just teaching you information and taking exams. I was also surprised by how important athletics are in the US. In China we just stay in a classroom the whole time doing classwork. But here you really try to balance your academics, sports and other hobbies.

What are you going to take with you when you leave here, in addition to the public speaking you mentioned earlier?

Confidence. That’s a big part, because now I know what my strengths are, and also what my weaknesses are. In the next four years, I will try to improve the weaknesses, but also I will use my strengths in a lot of activities or classes. I will try to get out of my comfort zone during college and do something new.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING Re-established in recent years, Project Week was a New Hampton tradition during the 1970s and 1980s. Today, it is a highlight of the academic year for many students. An essential question guides a vigorous week-long investigation that might take place on or off-campus, in the United States or another country. Following a week of intensive study, students share their experiences and learned outcomes with the broader New Hampton School community. Last year, projects included Tinker Shop, Lacrosse the Nations, Ultimate Cooking, and Global Communities and EcoTourism to name a few.

LIVE AND LET LIVE FARM Chichester, NH

Pictured right: The essential question “What can I learn in a week of service that will improve the quality of life for animals and their guardians?” guided a group of students who volunteered with a local nonprofit (Live and Let Live Farm, Inc.) focused on animal rescue and rehabilitation. Students worked on the farm cleaning, feeding and caring for the animals. They also learned about socializing animals to help them overcome fears and insecurities through relationship training, love and comfort.

MARIPOSA FOUNDATION PROJECT Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic

Pictured below: A trip to the Mariposa Foundation in Rio San Juan, Dominican Republic helped students explore the essential question “How can service, education and empowerment of young girls help end the cycle of generational poverty in the Dominican Republic (and developing world)?” The foundation’s mission is to help end generational poverty in a rural area of the Dominican Republic and the organization works to educate, provide health care, resources, role models and inspiration for children. Students volunteered at a local school, visited a cocoa factory, learned about the communities and the challenges they face, and practiced their Spanish.

As is true for every faculty at New Hampton School, Tyson’s role extends beyond that of Head Athletic Trainer to include duty, advising, and teaching. His professional and personal passion enriches his experience and that of our students.

• • • • •

Tyson has certified countless students in first aid and CPR as part of his Sports Medicine class at NHS, in addition to teaching the basics of the athletic training profession.

He was instrumental in helping New Hampton School achieve the Safe Sports School award from the National Athletic Trainers Association.

“The level of integrity and patience with which Adam performs as an athletic trainer enables our student-athletes, parents and coaches to have piece-of-mind on and off the field. His kind and gentle personality is unmatched. The trust he has gained from our community reaches beyond our campus; it is not uncommon for alumni to stop by the athletic training room looking for advice or to reconnect. We are all thankful for Adam’s unrelenting resolve to care for Husky Nation.”

“THE GIRLS I PLAY WITH AT NEW HAMPTON WANT TO THRIVE AND GROW, AND THAT IS WHAT HAS HELPED ME DEVELOP THE MOST”

CAYLA BARNES ′17 An ambitious athlete, devout teammate, and bright student, Cayla Barnes knows what it means to be a team-player. When asked about her success in the 2016-2017 hockey season, and her athletic career in general, Cayla recognizes her fellow Huskies. “New Hampton not only has good hockey players but good people. Being on the ice every day with high caliber hockey players pushes me to become better. The girls I play with at New Hampton want to thrive and grow, and that is what has helped me develop the most,” says Barnes.

Cayla moderates her success with impressive maturity for a 16-year old hockey all-star. This past season her talent led the Huskies to the Lakes Region League title and the number 6 seed in the prestigious Division I New England Prep tournament. Though New Hampton lost in the quarterfinals, Barnes earned All-New England first team honors.

Coach Craig Churchill, appropriately lauding of Cayla’s talent and contributions, also is sure to acknowledge the collaborative effort of the Women’s Hockey team that has 20 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

contributed to Cayla’s accomplishments. “Cayla’s recent success is a direct result of her tireless work ethic. She is a tremendous asset to our team, enhancing the level of play for our girls as well as the league in general,” says Coach Craig Churchill. “Cayla has had a growth mindset from day one always seeking input on how to improve all areas of her game.

This honor is wonderful recognition for her and all the girls on this team that continue to push Cayla to be her very best.”

GARA FIELD ′87 One hundred and eleven graduates gathered with their families, classmates, faculty and friends for Commencement on May 27, 2016.

Commencement speaker, Gara B. Field ‘87 and former faculty spoke to the Class of 2016 about the importance of people, potential and perseverance, and she reminded graduates that today is only the very beginning of what lies ahead. Her familiarity with New Hampton School as both a former student and faculty aided her in reaching each member of the audience as she ran through a long list of memorable and impressionable faces from her prior time on campus. The audience listened

attentively as she urged graduates, in the words of Robert Frost, to “be an awakener!”

“I hope this rings true for each of you this morning,” Field spoke. “May our time together awaken something in you…something you will remember and take with you beyond this day: people, potential, perseverance…keep them close and ever-present.”

Belize native, IB diploma candidate, and model citizen Bianca Maheia was awarded the Meservey Medal for her “eloquence, diligence, and graceful leadership.” Revered by students

and faculty alike, student body president Muhammad Ahmad addressed his peers and reminded them to “seize the moment,” reflecting on his own reluctance to do so as a young adult. Bates College matriculant Alec Wilcox was honored as the class valedictorian.

In a thoughtful speech about a community that encouraged inquisitiveness and allowed space for him to grow, Wilcox expressed gratitude to the school community and departing Head of School Andrew Menke for creating a healthy and vibrant culture in which he and his Class of 2016 peers could flourish.

COLLEGE BOUND Prior to graduation last spring, these four students reflected on their time on campus and shared some thoughts on the future ahead.

Each represents a different path academically, athletically and artistically at the school. The varied programs in which they excelled, demonstrates the breadth and depth of the New Hampton School experience.

HOW DID YOU END UP SELECTING YOUR COLLEGE?

SHIYAN (YEVA) YIN Shanghai, China Massachusetts Institute of Technology

YEVA YIN: MIT has always been my dream school. Its location is just a few miles from where I live now, and its strong academic program is great! It is the best place for me to live and thrive.

MAIREAD BOISVERT: I chose Merrimack because when I stepped on campus I got that feeling of home. It was almost the exact same feeling as when I first stepped on New Hampton’s campus as a freshman. I felt confident that I could succeed at Merrimack.

CHRISTIAN EVERETT: For about a year Columbia was my favorite school so being accepted was a great day and a phenomenal accomplishment for me and my family.

OWEN MCMAHON: I wanted to choose a small school with a big school environment and Providence was the right choice. I connected with some alumni that attended the school and I was impressed with their experience.

MAIREAD BOISVERT Reading, Massachusetts Merrimack College

HOW DID NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL PREPARE YOU FOR COLLEGE? YY: My college counselor, Mrs. Kosakowski has been a great help. She tracked my college process, and made sure that everything I needed for college was prepared. In addition, she and my English teacher, Dr. Woodard, helped revise my college essays several times. The college office and the teachers enabled me to feel more confident and prepared for the college application.

MB: I am so prepared for college! I could not have done it without the constant support of the faculty over my four years. The Academic Support Program helped me prepare for Merrimack by giving me skills to manage my time, and teaching me how to spread out my workload with homework and study techniques.

CHRISTIAN EVERETT Chicago, Illinois Columbia University

OM: NHS showed how important it is to be involved with the school. It has helped me socially and academically. New Hampton has shown me how important it is to take advantage of great opportunities that are given to me. New Hampton is also more academically rigorous and has pushed me to be a better student.

WHAT SURPRISED YOU THE MOST ABOUT YOUR NHS EXPERIENCE? MB: What surprised me the most about my time at New Hampton was how much I personally grew. My grades sky rocketed and so did my voice. I realized that I didn’t need to hide who I was and I could truly be myself.

CE: I was actually very surprised by the relationships that I was able to make. I came in with the knowledge that I would only be here for one year, so it would be difficult to make long-lasting friendships, but I have been able to do just that.

OM: What surprised me the most was how competitive it was both in the classroom and on the athletic fields.

OWEN MCMAHON

New Hampton, New Hampshire Providence College

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO AS YOU HEAD OFF TO COLLEGE? MB: I am extremely excited to start my college classes and learn about the criminal justice system since I am majoring in criminology. I am also really looking forward to coming back to Husky Nation and visiting!

CE: I am looking forward to playing college football at a high level. I am also looking forward to being in New York City and building a foundation for my future.

OM: I am looking forward to preparing myself for a career. I am also looking forward to being more independent and exposing myself to different ways of thinking.

PAM MULCAHY NEW HAMPTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE YEARS TEACHING: 35 36 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

FACULTY PROFILE

FACES

This past year, we welcomed Pam Mulcahy back to New Hampton School after a 20-year absence during which her passion for boarding schools grew, and she gathered invaluable professional experience at Pomfret School as a math teacher, house parent and Associate Head of School.

Pam is energized by the opportunity to reestablish her commitment to New Hampton School and lead her colleagues as the Dean of Faculty.

As we learn in the dialogue below, Pam is thrilled to return to the school where her career in education began.

Hamptonia: What was your first job at New Hampton?

Pam Mulcahy: I was hired to teach English and live in Berry Hall, and I coached horseback riding my first year here. It was my first real job.

Was that your first job out of college, too?

I taught for a year in Austria at a school, in a small mountain village, that doesn’t even exist anymore. This was a more grown-up job.

You’ve since switched from teaching English to Math. How did you make that shift?

My dad was an engineer, my mom was a children’s librarian, so I always say that I grew up confused. I started college as a math major and then I switched to an English major.

And then you went back to math?

And then I went back to math. It’s one of those things I was never able to get away from.

What is it like to return to New Hampton?

It’s been great. Physically it’s really different. The only current house that was here when I left was Lindsay, and Randall was still a dorm.

The physical changes have been huge and are great to see. The qualities that I’ve always loved about it, the really close community and the close relationships with kids hasn’t changed. The students are stronger which is fantastic. It’s been awesome to see the school thrive, which is what we wanted for it all along.

Tell us a little bit about some of the things that have stayed the same.

There are schools that you visit (I’ve done a lot of NEASC evaluations so I’ve been in a lot of different schools) where there’s a distance between the adults and the students, and you don’t find that here. The faculty members here feel safe, approachable and accessible to students. I was a stranger to them when I returned last year, and from very early in the year students would hang out in the dorm when I was on duty or come to my office with math questions.

The same sense of safety and expectation that they will be treated

well exists as when I was here 20 years ago.

When you left, did you ever imagine that you would be back here teaching again?

I wanted desperately to be back here.

Why is that?

When you live in these schools, you make such close friends, and you care deeply about the students and your advisees. Leaving these students that you care about was the hardest part about moving to Pomfret. I went back to graduation because I had four advisees who graduated. It just becomes part of your life. It was really hard to leave and it’s great to be back — back with old friends, too. There is a kindness here that I think is really important, and there is an unpretentiousness that lets you feel like you can be yourself, and students can be themselves. It’s important for students to see adults comfortable in their own skin. I think that says to them they can be comfortable in their own skin, too.

Conveniently you and your family also have a house down the road. Can you tell us a little more about your connection to the area with regard to New Hampshire and the region?

It’s beautiful here. I like to hike and walk. I have an old golden retriever who is my hiking buddy. It is inspiring to be back. In the morning, I come over Dana Hill and the school and the valley are below me. You can catch glimpses of the lakes off to the east.

Looking ahead, you see Huckins Farm before you and then you can look up at Burleigh Mountain. There’s no un-beautiful time in this area. Whether it is a fresh snow or colors in the fall, it’s just beautiful.

Sometimes, I’ll wander. I’ll drive up to Burleigh before I leave, look at the view and then I’ll drive home. Sometimes I take my advisees so they can “ooh” and “aah” over the view and be reminded of what a great place they get to go to school. I really enjoy sharing the beauty of our surroundings.

STUDENT PROFILE

A bright student and talented athlete, Carter was interested in prep-school well before he enrolled, and New Hampton School helped him to make great strides in both areas. In addition to his strengths on the playing field, Carter is an IB Diploma recipient and a well-loved classmate, teammate, brother and son. Carter shared New Hampton School with his younger sister Kate and notes that not only was his high school experience enriched, but his family relationships were also enhanced by the shared experience. Some of his extended family live nearby and they were all able to get to know Husky Nation overtime. This Fall, Carter matriculates at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island where he plans to major in business.

Carter shared some of his reflections with us over the summer following his graduation.

LACONIA, NEW HAMPSHIRE YEARS AT NHS: 5

CARTER DILLON ’16

Kate ’16 and Carter ’16 Dillon

HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT TODAY THAN WHEN YOU ARRIVED AT NEW HAMPTON?

I believe New Hampton has shaped me into a young man who knows and sticks to his values, but who also isn’t afraid to go out and get what he wants. New Hampton has empowered me with the skills to put my visions into motion and to create a step by step process of how to realize my goals.

Before New Hampton it was easy to think I was working hard. At New Hampton, I met classmates who were working much harder then I was. I became aware that there is always another level to reach and that success is in part founded through engaging in consistent actions and persevering through tough situations.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE SHARING NEW HAMPTON WITH YOUR SISTER FOR 4 YEARS?

It was an incredible experience sharing 4 years at New Hampton with Kate. Family is

38 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

central to who I am, so having Kate by my side was something I have a hard time even putting into words. Besides duking it out for the car and arguing over departure time, we had a great 4 years together and really furthered our relationship as a result. It was a pleasure watching her grow into the young woman she is today and realize her dreams, including becoming our Salutatorian and enrolling in Sacred Heart’s physical therapy program.

DID YOU HAVE A FAVORITE CLASS OR TEACHER WHILE YOU WERE HERE?

I had many classes and teachers that I was fond of at New Hampton, but my favorite class was IB Econ. As an upcoming Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations concentrator at Brown, this class was essential in selecting my field of study and identifying a passion. I was also fortunate enough to spend two years with Mrs. MacLeod and Mr. Shackett in science classes. While each class was handcrafted to be slightly different and unique, learning with them was captivating and class was never dull.

DID YOU TRY SOME THINGS OUTSIDE OF ATHLETICS THAT SURPRISED YOU?

Yes, believe it or not I did. Throughout my time at New Hampton I tried a few classes that were, without question, outside of my realm. A couple notable ones were Mr. Buck’s environmental art class, and Mr. Sampson’s acting/improvisation class. Although I didn’t unearth any hidden talents, I had a great time branching out with my classmates and taking an interest in others’ pastimes.

HOW DID YOU PICK NEW HAMPTON?

My dad was the primary activist in my coming to New Hampton. When I was young he would tell me “if the stars align” I could go.

I was always enthralled by the opportunities prep school provided, but even more so by the opportunities that New Hampton provided. Starting in 6th grade, my dad and I would drive up Interstate 93 to the Nation to watch football and basketball games. I could sense how tightly-knit the community was and how at home I felt. Furthermore, I felt that both academically and athletically, New Hampton would allow for tremendous growth and help me achieve my dreams.

WHERE FACULTY ARE THEYPROFILE NOW?

DAVID DOYLE FORMER FACULTY 2000-2008 David Doyle, former New Hampton School teacher, coach and Assistant Athletic Director from 2000-2008 was well loved among students and colleagues. David played an integral role in the success of the New Hampton School football and baseball teams during his time on campus, and he is fondly remembered by his players and students alike. David lived on campus with his wife Jessie. His daughter Sadie (now 9) was born while he was working at New Hampton. Currently he lives in Hamden, Connecticut with his wife Jessie, Sadie, and their son, Chase. David is the Director of Athletics at Hamden Hall Country Day School. Last November 2015, the New Hampton School Varsity Football team played Hamden Hall in the Ken O’Keefe Bowl at Brown University.

HAMPTONIA: WHAT WAS YOUR ROLE WHILE AT NEW HAMPTON? DAVID DOYLE: I was the Assistant Athletic Director and Math Teacher. I taught Math IV and Algebra I and II, as well as coached football and baseball.

H: WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE YOU LEFT NHS? DD: Since leaving NHS I have been the Director of Athletics at Morristown-Beard School in NJ (3 years), and currently, I am the Director of Athletics at Hamden Hall Country Day School in CT. H: WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT THE JOB? DD: The most rewarding part of working in education is there is a tangible reward each day you show up for work. You can see how you impact the growth and maturity of each student you interact with whether in the classroom or on an athletic field, court or rink.

Aiding young men and women in reaching their goals can be a great reward. I learn every day in my career in education. I have learned how to be compassionate,

how to lead, communicate and work in a team and community environment. All are lessons that I continue to work on each and every day.

H: ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC STORIES ABOUT NHS YOU LIKE TO RETELL? DD: There are too many stories to tell. But one I will always remember is the Class A football championship game that we won in the closing seconds of the game over Worcester Academy. It was the best high school game I have ever been a part of in my career — such a great day for NHS. H: WHAT IS YOUR FONDEST MEMORY OF NEW HAMPTON? DD: My fondest memories of NHS are the people and relationships that were forged during my time. When I think of New Hampton School, I think of “family and community.” My family and I still have lifelong friends from our time at the school. It was an amazing community that will always hold a place in my heart.

SEEING GLOBAL A l o o k at N e w H a m p t o n ' s I n t e r n at i o n a l B a c c a l a u r e at e P r o g r a m m e

by Chelsea Woodard In the year 2000, departing Dean of Faculty, Dan Love found himself at a job fair, interviewing for a position at the International School of Milan. When told that he would be teaching IB History, Love can still remember Dr. Shirley Grover, who was hiring at the fair, reassuring him, “It’s a lot like the AP.” Sixteen years later, and having taught six different IB courses in three different countries, Love’s current perspective is slightly more holistic. Hired to help bring the International Baccalaureate Programme to New Hampton School in 2007 and instrumental in its implementation here, Love has seen this curriculum in established as well as burgeoning forms. I visited him in his office during one of his final days at the school before his family departed for their next adventure in India; there, he and his wife, Amy, will take on new positions at the American International School Chennai, another IB school. Uncharacteristically relaxed — without shoes or his signature bowtie — Love was in a mood to reflect. This return to teaching overseas is a natural evolution for him, Amy, and their two sons, who came to New Hampton from The International School Foundation of Mexico City.

At the job fair in 2000, though, without these many years and classroom hours behind him, and like many

40 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

uninitiated IB instructors who have taught AP, Love felt all right about Grover’s proposition. He went to a three-day training, ultimately finding himself more fascinated by the other people taking the course than the material itself: they were, in typical IB fashion, from all over the world. Having come from teaching at a public school in Phoenix, Love was intrigued.

He thought: “Okay, I’ll do this!” and moved to Milan at the end of August, 2000. Upon his arrival, he soon learned that he would be teaching IB History of the Americas, IB History of Europe, IB Philosophy, and IB Economics. Talk about an initiation by fire — teaching IB for the first time is daunting regardless of the teacher’s circumstances — in Milan, Love found himself teaching “four different subjects. In a foreign country.”

While the year was formative in many ways (not the least being that he met his wife, who was there teaching first grade), Love quickly found, like many of us, that the IB was not simply an international synonym for AP, but an altogether unique program. “It was like going back to college,” he says. “Resources were not as vast as they are now. It was a very steep learning curve — trying to learn the depth and breadth.” For many new IB teachers, the experience is the same.

The IB itself states that they strive “to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.” While this is an honorable mission, that (likely not by chance) aligns very closely with New Hampton’s, one might ask, how, specifically, do they go about doing this with a curriculum? Coming to NHS from Belize, 2016 graduate and Meservey Medal winner, Bianca Maheia, says that, for her, the IB introduced “different perspectives from different parts of the world, different countries.” Diploma recipient and Atlanta native, Hailey Hurowitz ’15, just completed her freshman year at DePaul University. She reflects on her IB classes, “We had people from places like Russia, Korea, Switzerland, Japan, and China, and this was perfect for an IB education because the program is about holistic and global learning.” It is one thing to discuss global perspectives theoretically, as happens in many classrooms; it is another to have those perspectives mirrored in your classes and texts, in the voices and stories of your peers. In her well known TED Talk, “The Danger of a Single Story,” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie touches on this concept, discussing the importance of a multiplicity of voices and perspectives in achieving intercultural understanding. She states, “The single story creates stereotypes, and 42 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.” IB, in its mission and curriculum, helps combat this homogeneity of stories.

New Hampton’s utopian, global classroom environment, although fairly commonplace now, did not materialize overnight. When he was hired as the Global Curriculum Coordinator and history teacher in 2007, Love recalls that introducing the IB Programme here was not a simple task: “It was challenging, because the IB is not easy to explain [...] When I first started talking about the IB, I found that people did not have a common vocabulary.” And IB is still, for much of the American independent school world, simply not a part of the lexicon. As an IB instructor, it is not unusual to find oneself on airplanes, in Admissions lounges, or at cocktail parties, saying “I teach at an IB school” — and being met with a subsequent blank stare — a what? Not yet a household name in the U.S. as AP has become, the International Baccalaureate Programme remains, for those outside its fold, a bit of a mystery. Such was the case on campus when it was first introduced to New Hampton.

And so, Love quickly realized that implementing the IB meant there would need to be a significant education of the community, not just about the curriculum itself, but about curriculum building as a whole –– something that the IB Diploma Programme, with its six subject areas (Studies in Language and Literature, Acquisition of Language, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, The Arts) and three essential core elements (Theory of Knowledge, The Extended Essay, and Creativity-Activity-Service), does exceptionally well. At New Hampton, Love focused first on educating three primary groups: students' parents, the Board of Trustees, and the faculty.

In June of 2008, NHS began the application process to become an IB school, which involves a two-year curricular review. On March 10, 2010, the school was approved, which led to the first IB Diploma class, who would graduate in 2012. This 2010 IB adoption coincided with the implementation of the iPad program, and both were integral in the

school further defining its ethos as one of continuing innovation. Love remembers that one of the first changes he noticed was in the faculty teaching freshmen and sophomores, who realized that they needed to prepare students differently for this new curriculum; here, he witnessed the way that “raising the tide raises all boats.” Having all department chairs trained was really helpful too, because, as Love aptly observes, “teachers are really good at teaching other teachers.” The changes to the school’s culture were noticeable right away in the Admissions Office as well. Speaking of the IB, Love remarks that “it’s a kind of stamp of approval,” one that translates well to international families, because it is something “they know.” This “stamp of approval” resulted in a larger applicant pool, ultimately yielding higher caliber students. In addition to its effect on student enrollment, the IB also met a need of the faculty: to understand curriculum design on a large scale, on the horizontal and vertical levels. Suddenly, there were more requests for professional development — teachers wanted to grow. Love says that IB training “finally explained to teachers who wanted to know what a curriculum was — it was a broader way to understand education.”

The IB hasn’t only allowed teachers to gain a greater understanding of the educational process, but has allowed for New Hampton students to do so as well. It does this by being process and skill based, and by emphasizing the interconnectedness of disciplines, cultures, and geographies. Katie Solman, who graduated recently from Bates College, was in the first NHS IB Diploma Class of 2012. Although it was still in its pioneering stages during her time here, Solman recalls how the IB “stretched” her, not just as a student, but as a thinker as well, by “welcoming the connection of different ideas.”

One of the courses that provides the greatest challenge to students and one that encourages them to draw parallels between concepts and disciplines is a required core element, Theory of Knowledge, or ToK. Erin Moran, another 2012 graduate and Diploma recipient, spoke about the growth that she experienced in the midst of this particularly grueling class, and the ways in which she was able to understand and witness her own awakening as a thinker. Moran, who

graduated in May from Connecticut College, remembers realizing how she was “opening up to the material” and in doing so, gaining new perspectives that soon began to translate into her other classes. One of the other core components of the Diploma Programme, Creativity, Activity, Service, or CAS, pushed Moran to draw broader connections that reached outside of academics and into the real world. Through her CAS project she became involved with her community’s Interact Club (a youth division of Rotary), which allowed her to serve her own community and later, one in Belize. She said that IB pushed her to be involved much sooner than she would have otherwise — helping her to connect, bringing the world, that can appear so distant in demarcations on a map, so diminutive in textbook data, just a little bit closer.

As a teacher of literature, a major drive is to encourage empathy and mitigate solipsism in students — if they can understand a character or emotion and make themselves vulnerable to it, they are hopefully that much more intimate with the world, more receptive, and ideally, more compassionate. One should be unfailingly shrewd in one’s analysis, but never cold, because art is, of course, subjective, as is human perception. As Moran reflected, so much of the understanding that occurs in the IB Programme is because of its emphasis on connection, on the interconnectedness of people in the world as well as their ideas.

Love similarly emphasizes the benefit of the IB “not isolating learning from content,” and how each of the disciplines provides context for others, creating a bricolage of discoveries, movements, and events. Matt Fisk, current Director of Studies and IB History teacher, similarly lauds the IB for its interdisciplinary, connective nature. He especially likes how it allows, as Moran says, for students to see the interrelatedness of the disciplines they are studying. Fisk offers as an example, “when Jess MacLeod is teaching Biology, she’s discussing issues such as stem cell research and talking about the political and social ramifications… and in my history class, we’re talking about technology and about the impact it has had on shaping how war is carried out, which connects back to the sciences,” showing the nature of the program — one that is circular, not linear,

three-dimensional and fluid, never flat or static.

This interconnectedness, awareness, and ideally, empathy, may also help to foster a particular type of individual. In his teaching of ToK and his many years of experience with the IB, Love can now pinpoint the potential outcome of the Diploma Programme in its formation of the whole student. “[…] there are ones who move beyond self knowledge and are not egocentric or ethnocentric;” he says of the ideal IB learner, “they understand the multiplicity of perspectives. I can almost tell when it happens for kids, especially in ToK, because they move

to a point to where they listen when other people talk, and they talk in a way that makes other people listen. In that moment, when they are able to do both those things, they’ve become IB students. Some come in farther along that path than others, some gain that along the way.”

In Love’s experience, the IB Programme requires open-mindedness and an appreciation for the learning process. One must be intellectually curious; one “cannot be a grade monger,” he states, “IB is not about the numbers.”

The International Baccalaureate Program, through the use of the learner profile and the requirements to engage in a broad range of content areas and experiences, ensures that IB students are receiving a well-rounded education. IB students are able to see how what they are learning in each class is connected through inter-disciplinary experiences and the requirement to engage with their peers and their community helps develop students into individuals who have the knowledge and skill to make a difference in the world.

HALEY HUROWITZ ’15 In what ways did the IB program stretch you as a student? As a thinker?

“It makes you think in ways that you never could imagine that you could do. You really have to think outside the box in many ways as well. It really stretches you as a student because it is not easy."

A major reason that IB students cannot be “grade mongers” is that the curriculum is, as good curriculums ought to be, skill focused. The end is never more important as the means used to get there, the vehicle always as important as the tenor. In order to do well on the numerous acronym-titled and difficult assessments (IOP, IOC, EE, the list goes on), students must have mastered the particular skills that those evaluations measure. The IOC, for example, spelled out for laypeople as the Individual Oral Commentary, is essentially a spontaneous oral

correct terminology, the only real way for them to prepare for this, much less excel at it, is to have honed their close reading skills. They must have such dexterity in their ability to interpret literature that they can adapt quickly, applying their expertise to whatever challenge awaits them when they are handed their lot.

than an AP class does, in large part because in an IB class students can take longer to develop skills…unlike AP where I had to really move quickly and wasn’t able to do the deep dive as much as I wanted to into the writing process, in IB, I am able to take a month and work pretty intensively on how to write a research paper, for example."

Director of Studies, Matt Fisk, has been a major innovator and proponent of New Hampton adopting competencies as the way in which we measure student progress. Like Fisk’s vision for assessing students, the IB is also skill-based, making the two visions coincide. Fisk particularly likes that, even in IB certificate courses (those taken à la carte by students who are not enrolled in the full Diploma Programme), students benefit from the IB’s emphasis on teaching them “how to think.” He comments, “the vast amount of the content we teach kids, they’re going to forget, so we should really be focused on helping them develop their critical thinking — the skills, the stuff that will be durable versus the content that will be forgotten.” As a teacher of history, a discipline where the what, or content, often seems to be paramount, Fisk contends that

As Einstein said, “Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”

One thing that IB courses most certainly do have in common with AP is their rigor. While the IB offers various levels of intensity in their curriculum (most subjects are offered in Standard and Higher Level in order to provide different degrees of assessment and pacing), like AP, it is a college-preparatory and in-depth course of study for teachers and students alike, especially at the beginning. Hurowitz ’15 aptly compares the first day of the IB Diploma Programme to visiting the orthodontist when getting braces for the first time: “It is strange, and it might feel very difficult and tense. It will feel like your brain is not supposed to be exposed to this way of thinking just like your teeth are

“I built connections between the classroom and the real world, between small social settings and the metropolis I lived in. IB courses teach students to look outside themselves and their immediate surroundings.”

All that they know is it will be one of a number that we have studied over the course of the term, which this past year comprised a selection from Elizabeth Bishop’s Complete Poems. Students have 20 minutes, once they open their mystery envelope, to annotate, outline, and prepare an analysis of the poem, which must be precise, extensive, and polished. While students absolutely need to study the content of these poems and the

44 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

in IB History, “content is still important, but the emphasis is on developing students as historians, not developing the students’ ability to memorize facts for a standardized test. The emphasis on skills differentiates IB from AP and other programs.” And here we are again, back to the juxtaposition of IB and AP, the two “advanced” courses of study offered to high school students. While it is such a readily accessible comparison, it is not, as Love, Fisk, and every other IB teacher finds, an accurate one. Fisk goes on, "I also think that IB does a much better job of developing students’ writing

not used to the metal. However, you start to get used to it and it becomes easier to handle, just like braces do.” Many NHS IB Diploma graduates further comment on the bond they form with their IB classmates through this unfamiliar process. Love also describes the IB journey as one of intense discomfort.

“They almost experience trauma,” he says, elaborating on the ownership students have in their learning process, how relationship-based the program is. Students and teachers bond because they experience not just the bracelike discomfort of fitting everything together,

but also the discovery of how it all works, and they do this collaboratively, ultimately coming through the “trauma” to a place of real growth and mutual understanding.

Perhaps the IB is something you have to go through to truly understand — which would no doubt support its interactive curricular emphasis. Perhaps it is not something that can merely be “known” superficially or by secondhand explanation. The program, while relatively new to NHS, has been in action for many years. Given that it began in 1968 and was introduced to the U.S. for the first time in 1971, it’s interesting that the International Baccalaureate Programme still remains a novelty in New England boarding schools — to this end, New Hampton is one of only three in the region that is IB-accredited. Many of our international students come to New Hampton specifically for this curriculum, and why? In addition to being recognized globally, it is also an accepted mark of excellence, of innovative open-mindedness.

Although most independent schools in our region have not adopted the program, it has gained wide recognition over the years among even the most selective colleges, who recognize the value of such a comprehensive and diversely focused curriculum. When asked for his perspective on the IB Programme, Paul Sunde, the Director of Admissions and Interim Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at Dartmouth College, states, “Students who pursue the IB diploma demonstrate an exceptional commitment to their intellectual endeavors.”

He continues, “The International Baccalaureate program is recognized around the world for its rigor and for encouraging students to approach their studies with an interdisciplinary mindset, well-suited to their future collegiate endeavors and to the global and interconnected world in which we now live.”

As Sunde pinpoints, in addition to preparing them for college in a broad sense, the IB also readies students for their personal and professional lives beyond academia. Anna Koester, a current New Hampton faculty member and former IB student at Binghamton High School in New York, is a great example of this. When she began as a freshman at Fordham

ERIN MORAN ’12 Having recently graduated, do you feel that IB has prepared you in any ways for life beyond college?

“The IB Program really taught me how to manage my time, as well as how to be self-disciplined. These two skill sets helped me to succeed as I transitioned to college and were even improved along the way. IB laid the foundation for my success as a student, by developing me into an independent, eager individual.

I know that these skills will translate into my life after college. I was fortunate enough to learn the importance of time management in high school, carrying that into college allowed me to be extra prepared, and I hope these experiences enable me to “Go Beyond” as I start to navigate the real world.”

FALL 2016 • HAMPTONIA 45

University in 2006, Koester says that, within the first few months, she noticed the positive effects that the International Baccalaureate had, not just on her social awareness and academic focus, but also on what she calls her “intellectual plasticity.” She remembers, “I was the only student in my freshman English class that had written a paper longer than 1,500 words.” While Koester, no doubt like many IB graduates, initially believed that her connection with IB would finish after high school, she reflects now on the greater impact it continues to have.

"I developed a love for languages through IB French, leading me to choose French Studies

as my college major; I’ll now be teaching French. I still remember every book I read in my two years of IB English, including strangely specific vocabulary, and in addition to honing memorization and study skills, my IB Theater class helped me overcome shyness and become more comfortable with myself. Although I hesitate to admit it, I use formulas from IB Physics and IB Math. I can still rattle off each mnemonic device that I learned in my second year of IB History."

In ways she could never have expected, the IB has had a significant legacy in Koester’s life, even as she pursues her dedication to languages and learning as a teacher.

While many of the first New Hampton IB Diploma graduates from 2012 are only just emerging from their undergraduate studies onto the real world stage, like Koester, they still acknowledge the ways in which the program has affected them. Many NHS alumni have remarked on how the IB helped them specifically with time management, seeking appropriate mentors, and engaging intellectually with others. Torrey Doell ’16, who will matriculate to UNC Chapel Hill in the fall, appreciates how IB teachers force students to “think outside of the box” rather than trying to extract the “correct answer,” and several other recent graduates have commented on how the IB program, including teachers

and classmates, made them want to challenge themselves and spurred in them a continuing curiosity. For a student like Hurowitz, who was not one of New Hampton’s many gifted athletes, she values how the IB program also provides an opportunity for students to push themselves and gain recognition, both intellectually and creatively. Erin Moran ’12 recalls the unusual amount of agency she and her peers possessed in their IB courses.

“As students,” she says, “we were given some control over the productivity of Pictured above: Dan Love, 11-year teacher and Dean of Faculty, teaches a class at New Hampton School. During his tenure, the classes, using our Love was instrumental in implementing the IB Programme. curiosity and intuition to assist in reaching our grow to possess — their desire to understand, to the future, that it doesn’t always “fit into goal for that day or chapter.” This seems true to as Einstein said, not simply to know. On a other people’s schedules.” Anyone who has had the nature of a good IB class or any class for that personal level, Love values the ways in which to arrange IB exams or rework their classes to matter: what you get out is largely determined the IB makes a teacher “stay a learner,” and the accommodate IB deadlines can attest to this by what you put in, and as these graduates have incredible students he has had the opportunity fact. The IB marches to its own drummer — in remarked, the majority of IB students want to to work with, like those whose voices are some ways, as Love remarks, it is a “square peg “put in,” or contribute, meaningfully. in a round hole.” included here.

Former NHS students remember their IB courses for their intimacy and dialogue, their rigor — and I think it is no coincidence that so many of them, in response to questions, reflected specifically on ToK (Theory of Knowledge), one of the Diploma Programme’s core tenets, as being the course that stretched them the most. At its heart, it is a philosophical, ontological class, confronting the big ideas of how we know what we know, pushing students to evaluate themselves, their world, their learning. It is no coincidence either, that this course is one that Love, the 2016 recipient of the Ralph S. O'Connor Teaching Prize, has taught for the last six years. As a teacher of ToK, it is fitting that Love appreciates most the “enterprising curiosity” that IB students

The IB Programme is now vibrant at New Hampton, and seems such an integral part of the school’s identity that it is difficult to imagine a time without it. Having helped to establish the program successfully here, and having left his mark in myriad ways, it is time for Love and his family to move on to other adventures overseas. Yet, even as he pursues a new challenge as Director of Teaching and Learning at a school halfway around the world, Love affirms that he will never leave behind the IB. As we wrap up our conversation, the June day outside has grown bright and hot, promising summer, and Love says, in parting, that he hopes New Hampton, too, will “always stay with the IB.” In mentioning this, Love acknowledges, as all IB teachers have had to, that at times, the IB “is not convenient;” he worries, looking ahead

The IB may well be a square peg. Yet, as we look to the future, in this ever-changing, turbulent world, where so many educational systems are coming into question, or even worse, becoming obsolete, who says being an outlier is a bad thing? Perhaps its refusal to assimilate or compromise its standards is what sets the IB apart, what helps it combat and make various what might otherwise be a sort of stereotype of high school education — a uniform or cautionary “single story.”

MEET JOE WILLIAMS ― 23 rd HEAD OF SCHOOL ― Joe Williams is calm. Living in a house filled with four children, his wife and their two dogs, on a bustling boarding school campus, one might expect to find Joe a bit frazzled. Rather, he is quite the opposite. Joe embodies active listening with a thoughtful, attentive gaze. His years in boarding schools have taught him the value of learning from his colleagues, of listening to students and faculty. His commanding stature might at first seem intimidating, but once settled comfortably in his office, his guests quickly find themselves at ease, sharing thoughts, ideas, and concerns intermittent with the occasional joke or story. During a time of transition, when each day is filled with first encounters, Joe has already demonstrated his unflappable character with focus, intention, and grace.

48 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

FALL 2016 • HAMPTONIA 49

Though New Hampton School is Joe’s first headship, he is by no means a novice in independent schools. In fact, the profession runs in the family. Joe grew up the son of the headmaster on the campus of Lawrence Academy, the school from which he graduated. Today, he and his two brothers each head an independent school. As one might predict, his family connections landed him his first boarding school job straight out of college; however, Joe took some time to learn about the corporate world with a seven-year stint at Reebok International before returning to his roots in New England boarding schools.

School leader, husband, father, athlete, aspiring stand-up paddle-boarder, Joe will likely share all of these sides with us on the New Hampton School campus. He has distinctly chosen the boarding school life for the same values and benefits we market to prospective families. Our deep appreciation for community, a spark for distinction and a confident yet humble culture all signified to Joe that New Hampton School was worth a second look. Joe wasn’t in search of just any headship. All the cards fell in the right place to land Joe Williams as the twenty-third Head of New Hampton School. Joe’s desire to grow professionally and the urge to seek a new challenge coincided nicely with the school’s search for a new head. Couple this with New Hampton’s growing buzz among New England boarding schools and a compelling size and location in New Hampshire, and Joe couldn’t overlook the opportunity.

HAMPTONIA: Tell me a little about what first attracted you to New Hampton?

JOE WILLIAMS: My draw to New Hampton had so much to do with the people that I met during my visit process, and the energy and enthusiasm they had for this place, for the growth of the school in recent years, and the different directions they saw the school moving in the future. The involvement with people and being able to build strong relationships in communities like this is really rewarding to me, and so feeling a connection with the employees was important. I also couldn’t help but notice the facility enhancements that have taken place. I had not been on the NHS campus in a while. I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the changes — from Academic Row to residential spaces to the athletic facilities. It felt like there was a tremendous foundation to build upon.

H: Have you been surprised by what you learned as you got to know the community better?

JW: I don’t know if surprised is the right word. I’ve been encouraged by the strength of the programs that are in place. I’ve learned more about the International Baccalaureate, and how that has opened doors for our students in the college process, and gathered a sense 50 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

for the reflective nature of that curriculum in comparison to the AP. At the same time, I’m realizing the strength of the academic support program — and the school’s ability to challenge the best and brightest — and also support kids who may learn differently, but have the same gifts to bring to the community. I was also moved by how happy the kids are here, that they really value this place, the relationships that they’ve formed with each other, and with the adults in the community that have been so influential in their growth and transformation.

H: When did you know you wanted to be a head of school?

JW: That’s a good question because a lot of people assumed that that was something I always wanted to do and was actively pursuing.

My approach to communities has been a little bit different. It’s not about the role or advancement, it’s about contributing to something with a group of people that you really become close with. And as a result of that, there have been opportunities for advancement that have come my way. Over time, I started to consider what it would be like to be a head of school, and making that next step as an opportunity to continue to learn and develop, professionally. I have not pursued the position for position’s sake, and so I haven’t been in many searches. And when I have, I’ve truly been focused on a particular school. New Hampton was the school in my crosshairs because it felt like a perfect connection — the size of the school, the unpretentious nature of the community, but yet one with distinctive programs that really resonate in the marketplace. The size of the student body, and the predominately boarding nature are all attributes that fit what I was looking for.

"It’s not about the role or advancement, it’s about CONTRIBUTING TO SOMETHING with a group of people that you really become close with."

H: What was your first job in boarding schools?

JW: When I graduated from Bowdoin, and in full disclosure, I guess I was the beneficiary of some level of nepotism. My father was the head at Worcester Academy. I went to the end of the year faculty barbecue and was having a conversation with the Director

of Admissions, about schools and life in general. I went on to my summer job working at basketball camps, and I got a call from my dad saying that there was an intern position open in the admissions office, and would I be interested. Of course I said, “Sure,” not having anything else planned for the fall. I lived in what was a converted maintenance office in a boy’s dorm with postgraduates. I think there were 60 boys in the dorm. I was an admissions officer, and I coached basketball and football. That was my introduction to boarding school life as a professional.

H: What did you study in college?

JW: I was a sociology major, which my kids still scratch their head about, “What is that?” And I was a government and legal studies minor. My family life really has influenced where I’ve ended up. I was born at Pomfret School. My father was running the summer school at the time and teaching in the science department, and when I was three, he was named the Head at Lawrence Academy.

That’s where I grew up and went to school. I have uncles and aunts that have been teachers and consultants in the education field.

H: Where did you go from there?

JW: I spent three years at Worcester Academy and was curious how the other half lived. My friends were in business or other professions that gave them weekends off, a different schedule, and I was curious as to what that was like. I had a strong athletic background and ended up getting a job with Reebok. I worked for them for seven years in the marketing department and really enjoyed it. When Eileen and I had our first child, we started to think about where we wanted to be as a family and the type of environment in which we wanted to raise our children. Naturally, we came back to boarding schools as something we might want to do, and the rest is history, so to speak.

H: When you and your family, you and your brothers, get together are you constantly talking shop or can you put it on hold?

JW: We can definitely put it on hold and just enjoy each other’s company. It’s nice that we are sometimes at the same conferences and can spend time together, so we make sure to take advantage of these opportunities. My brother Ben has a place in Montana and tries to organize a summer gathering every year where we do some fly fishing, but there’s undoubtedly conversation about schools and information sharing. Fred is the Head at Rectory School [a grade 6-9 junior boarding school], so there is more dialogue with FALL 2016 • HAMPTONIA 51

him about students that might be a good fit for New Hampton. It is always great to see them and to know I can call them to discuss school issues and share ideas. They serve as a strong support system for me.

plenty of tears about folks that we may not see as often. But we’re comforted by the fact that we’re nearby and can continue to rub shoulders, and who knows what kind of New Hampton-Kimball Union rivalry or relationship might develop in the years ahead.

H: You and your family have been at KUA for a long time, it must be hard to leave?

JW: Yes, we just finished our ninteenth year. We arrived at Kimball Union thinking that we would spend a year or two getting our foot in the door at schools and then find somewhere else to put down some roots. We ended up enjoying the area and the people that we got to know and the opportunities that existed for both of us, professionally. When you get connected to your students, whether they are your advisees or players on your team, and your own children become part of that same community, there’s never a good time to decide to move on. I’ve been one of those people that has always admired longevity and those people that have really dedicated their life to one community. There were times when I certainly could see myself staying there forever. It was a good fit for us.

But this has been rejuvenating professionally, going through this process and planning for our arrival at New Hampton. Our kids have really handled it well, understanding that this is a great opportunity and that change can be good. There’s certainly been

H: What do you think will be most helpful to you and your family as you transition to a new school?

JW: It is helpful for us to be staying in the same geographic area and moving to a peer Lakes Region school. We understand the challenges that a northern New England school faces. We also have a good sense for the type of people that come to work at these places and choose this lifestyle.

I also think patience is going to play an important role. I think of that as a two-way street in terms of me getting to really understand the school, this community, how it works, what traditions are near and dear to everyone’s hearts, and what opportunities exist as we think about building upon the legacy of Andrew Menke and celebrating events, such as our upcoming bicentennial. In return, I hope people will feel comfortable coming to me and getting to know me, and will be open to invitations that I’ll extend to them. I recognize that it’s an anxious time for people as they adjust to new leadership, which I will try be very sensitive to.

H: Can you tell us more about your family?

JW: Eileen and I have four kids. Our oldest is Charlie.

He just finished his freshman year at Skidmore, which has been a great experience for him. He played basketball.

He did well academically and established some great friendships. He is a lot like me, both in size and behavior. Next is Cooper who is headed to Carnegie Mellon in the fall, where he’ll also play basketball. He is really excited to take on a new challenge and head to a larger school in the city. Tucker is our youngest son. He just turned 16 and hopefully will get his driver’s license this summer. He is a soccer player, which is wonderful because it’s not a sport that I’ve played. It’s not Over the summer Joe worked closely with the Board of Trustees and his Administrative Team furthering his understanding of the school and a sport his brothers played establishing goals for the year.

either, so there is no sibling rivalry.

I enjoy going to his games and watching him compete, not knowing enough about the game to be critical of his play. He really loves soccer and will pursue that.

He made the decision to stay at Kimball Union and become a boarding student.

Having been raised there and anticipating that was where he would spend his high school career, it made sense to give him the option. He looked at both schools and it was a tough decision for him, but this is what he’s chosen and we support him.

Carter, is our lone daughter. She’s twelve and excited to be changing schools. She’ll attend Sant Bani down the road in the fall, and while it’s hard to leave her friends, I think she’s excited for something new.

The kids are all different, which is great. I think all parents know that their children have different personalities, strengths and challenges. They are being very supportive of this opportunity for me, and we’re looking forward to what lies ahead.

H: It sounds like a busy household.

JW: Yes, and the two other members of the household that I didn’t mention are Bentley, the prize English bulldog, that has a wardrobe that rivals mine, thanks to Eileen.

Joe Williams did not always know he was going to be a head of school. Prior to his recent appointment, Joe took his time getting to know the independent school world. He began at Worcester Academy shortly after graduating college, and then joined Kimball Union Academy after a brief foray in the corporate world. Joe and his family loved KUA and while Joe says he wasn’t actively seeking the next opportunity, his professional career evolved overtime to a place where pursuing a headship was the next step to advance his growth in the education sector.

This progression is likely not a surprise for those acquainted with the Williams family. Joe grew up the son of Head of School Benjamin D. Williams III at Lawrence Academy. The youngest child of two brothers, Joe rounds out the sibling leadership with his recent appointment. Eldest brother Ben Williams IV has been the head of Cate School in Carpenteria, California since 1998 and middle brother Fred accepted his current headship at Rectory School in Pomfret, Connecticut in 2009. Joe notes in his conversation, he and his siblings all benefit personally and professionally from the shared opportunities to collaborate and connect whether at conferences or family reunions. Suffice is to say it runs in the family.

H: And now, you’re a bit closer to Maine.

JW: We are — that’s an added bonus. We’re half an hour closer to our place there. One thing that we really didn’t have a good sense for was how close some of the schools are on this side of the state, so that will also be nice in terms of being able to see games and interface with folks at other schools.

H: What have you learned during your time in boarding schools that you think is really going to help you in this new role?

JW: I mentioned patience earlier in our conversation. That’s something that is perhaps a double-edged sword because we need to be patient with each other and patient with ideas. At the same time, there’s a real interest in moving forward, experimenting, and trying new things. It is important that I have the ability to listen, to really understand people’s needs, people’s challenges in their jobs, what they’re looking for from the community, and that I understand how they can contribute, and how we can utilize their strengths and talents. Having a sense of humor is really important to me. We work long hours. Our jobs can be emotionally draining at times, and we need to be able to laugh with each other and at ourselves from time to time.

H: You have had a busy 20 years in boarding schools, and this is going to be an especially busy year. What do you like to do to relax? How do you recharge?

JW: I enjoy stand-up paddle boarding. I like to get out on the water, get some exercise, and have some fun on the ocean or tidal rivers in Maine. I am looking forward to exploring some of the lakes and rivers in this area as well.

I’m also a novice fly fisherman, and I understand there’s some good fishing in this area and some folks that might be able to help me improve my skills. I enjoy playing golf when I can — really any kind of sport. Eileen and I play a fair amount of tennis together and generally like to stay active. The jobs that we all have at these schools are demanding, and taking care of ourselves physically, getting exercise, and finding different ways to maintain balance is important.

H: I’m sure there’s a lot during this transition that you learn about and think “I’d like to understand that better.” What makes you most curious when you consider exploring this year and getting to know our community?

JW: I’m curious about where people see the school moving.

There’s been a lot of good work evaluating different programs to

understand the school’s current strengths, and how we can improve in certain areas. I want to better understand the International Baccalaureate, how that plays a role in the academic environment on campus, and how we might be able to better leverage that in the marketplace to draw more talented, diverse students to New Hampton. I also want to better understand how individuals within our community might describe innovation.

There has been a lot of discussion about the role of innovation here, and what it means to be an innovative school. What does innovation look like for New Hampton?

How does that influence programs and possibilities for the future?

We’ve talked about the campus and how the facilities have improved dramatically over the years. I understand there has been equal work on programs, but I think there is a sense that there can be further development in that area, in places such as the arts, student leadership, service, to name a few. I’m also interested in exploring our sense of place. I would like to visit Burleigh mountain and see how that is used by the community. How do our students learn outside the classroom through experiential opportunities, Project Week and beyond?

H: Is there anything else you’d like to add that we haven’t touched on?

JW: I hope it is evident that we are very excited and honored, as a family, to have this opportunity. We’re looking forward to understanding the personality of the school.

Our early read is that it’s incredibly vibrant, that people are very supportive of each other, and that people are really motivated to be the best they can at their particular craft, and deliver the best programs for our students. We’re looking forward to getting to know everyone and to working together to shepherd this community forward in exciting ways.

"New Hampton is my new family," Joe told the community at Convocation 2016, "and as I begin my tenure here, and we begin our year, it is important for us to understand the fundamental responsibility we have to carry on the school's legacy so that generations of students, and adults yet to come, can benefit from this wonderful place."

CHANGE AGENT A LIFE IN THE LAW

by Eric McCollom Frank Motley ’66 is not a man who is afraid of change. In fact, he has made a life of seeing opportunity where others might hesitate in the face of the unknown. In 1962, that meant taking a relatively blind leap as a ninth grader from New York City into the unknown universe of a rural, predominately white New England boarding school. This major life shift would not be the last tumultuous adjustment in Motley’s young life, however. In 1966, embracing an opportunity in change meant departing his now familiar and insulated home-away-from-home at New Hampton School for Columbia University, an epicenter of the swirling social unrest of the late 1960s in the United Sates. Later, it would mean answering a job listing for a position in small-town Indiana, never expecting it would result in a legendary 38-year run at the same institution.

56 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

These days, embracing opportunity means the former Assistant Dean at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University Bloomington busies himself squeezing all he can from his days after his recent retirement from the university. From traveling to his family’s homestead in South Carolina to researching his family genealogy to fine tuning a photography hobby to taking his lumps at the local chess club to visiting a whopping 19 grandchildren scattered about the country, Motley’s todo list is long, and his days are happily packed. And this list doesn’t even include the quieter times spent with a towering stack of literature — “Over the years, I [collected] a couple hundred books that I said I’d start reading when I retired,” he says — and developing his poetry, an itch he developed all those years ago at New Hampton that he can finally scratch more vigorously thanks to his current open schedule. “That’s a solitary kind of process,” he says of his verse, “and it’s a challenge and occupies a lot of time in my day. But this is what I thought of when I thought of retirement: an opportunity to do all of the reading and writing I wanted to do. I’ve been very happy.”

The current shift from long-time law school dean to general renaissance man is likely a far less dramatic one than the personal and cultural shifts of Motley’s youth. Born in the Washington D.C. area, Motley lived with his mother, two sisters, and brother, while his father, a professional trumpet player, traveled the countryside from show to show.

Motley attending a predominately black grade school until the death of his mother from kidney failure when he was 13. It was a particularly painful blow for Motley, who remembers being very close with his mother. His mother’s death forced the family to relocate to Cheraw, South Carolina, home of his paternal grandmother. Not all members of Motley’s family were comfortable with the move, however. “This is about the time of Emmett Till,” explains Motley in reference to the 14-yearold boy murdered in Mississippi in 1955 for simply flirting with a white woman. “I was 13 in South Carolina, and my aunt decided to take me up north to where she lived in New York.” So Motley spent that summer with his siblings in South Carolina before heading north for the school year in New York.

After two years in the public school system in Harlem, Motley had started to feel as if New York City was home, and he had no specific designs on another drastic change to his young life. However, a conversation between his uncle and a family acquaintance named Vernon Morgan would once again introduce a major shift for Motley. Morgan was a black tennis player who had competed in tournaments at New Hampton. According to Motley, “[Morgan] had talked to the people at New Hampton who said they were looking for minority students to come to the school. So he came back and told my uncle, ‘Why doesn’t Frank apply?’”

True to form, Motley was undaunted by the potential culture shock of the small-town, predominately white, academically rigorous environment of New Hampton; instead, Motley saw opportunity. “I was fascinated by the process of getting a high-quality education,” he says, laughing at the unexpected links of fate that led him to his alma mater.

“From a tennis player who played at New Hampton, to my uncle, to me, and I ended up going there,” he says with a shake of his head.

One of only a handful of black students at New Hampton at the time, Motley found life at New Hampton quite different from his

previous school experiences. “I had been in integrated schools in D.C., but they were still primarily black schools,” he says. “I didn’t have much contact with white students until I went to New Hampton. I don’t think at that time I had the same racial consciousness that I developed over time. But I was aware I was not like everybody else, that I didn’t have the money that everybody else seemed to have. I hadn’t been to the places others had. New Hampton, for me, was like landing on a new planet!”

Much to his chagrin at the time, Motley repeated ninth grade at New Hampton, a move that he quickly recognized was necessary due to the disconnect between his previous academic experience and the expectations of New Hampton. True to form, however, Motley observed the gap between his own academic base and his peers’ and saw a chance to close it quickly. “I remember sitting in the back of a bus as a freshman coming back from some game, and these guys were talking, and I didn’t know what they were saying, and they were speaking English!” Motley recalls. “I did all I could to not let that happen, that people would be speaking English and I wouldn’t know what they were saying. It didn’t piss me off that these guys were being smug or cute or whatever … it was more of an inspiration to never let that happen again.”

While understanding the racial and class dynamics in his new environment may have been a complicated process, Motley quickly grew accustomed to the routines of New Hampton, latching on to what was already familiar territory for him. “There was the sports culture, which I adjusted to pretty quickly since I liked sports and I was pretty good at

them,” says Motley, who played football, basketball, and tennis at the school. “There weren’t girls at the school then, so there wasn’t that kind of complication, so I just focused on sports and academics. That’s what New Hampton was. I was OK or better in sports, and I was trying to get from good to better in academics.”

After an initial transition period, Motley quickly found success at the school. Beyond his role on his sports teams, he was involved in student council and yearbook work. His academic skill set grew, and by the time he was a senior, his list of college options had expanded dramatically. New Hampton had offered Motley the opportunity he had imagined upon first hearing of the place just four years prior. “The teachers, and [Head of School] T.H. [Moore] in particular, never spoke condescendingly about me or my background. I was very lucky in that regard. I was able to get ahead and achieve leadership positions through a lot of hard work. I didn’t feel like I was in an environment where I was held back by my race or anything else.”

However, the sheltered, nurturing, but apolitical nature of New Hampton, where Motley never felt hindered by his race, was a stark contrast to the cultural climate of the country in the era he was graduating. “It was like going to a foreign country and then going back home,” Motley says of his travels between New Hampton and Harlem.

With the Civil Rights Movement gaining momentum amidst violence and chaos and the Vietnam War driving heated public discourse, the world outside of the protection of a boarding school campus was increasingly incendiary. Flush with college options, Motley enrolled in his first choice, hometown Columbia University. At Columbia, for the first time Motely found himself immersed in causes bigger than his own personal development and success. “Columbia got me into politics and 58 NEW HAMPTON SCHOOL • FALL 2016

collective thought,” he explains. “In the 60s, you had to think beyond yourself. You had to think about the whole.”

In 1968, Motley’s second year at Columbia, student groups protested the university’s previously unknown connections to a think tank associated with the United States Department of Defense and the war efforts in Vietnam, in addition to the construction of a local gymnasium that appeared to propose discriminatory levels of entry and access to the facilities. The racially charged protests resulted in students occupying university buildings and holding deans of the university against their will until the group’s demands were met. The protests garnered much national attention, and advocates from around the country gathered on campus at a time when national racial tensions were at their peak due in part to the recent assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. While Motley was drawn to the concepts of equality and justice and the process of social activism, he was forced to once again grapple with a significant adjustment to his identity. “While I was trying to get myself through New Hampton, I thought pretty much about myself,” he says, “and when I went to Columbia, the Columbia protests in 1968 made us all rethink some of the basic values we had, some of the Ayn Rand approaches to life. But it was a slow process.”

While he was deeply and personally drawn to the fight for racial equality and justice in the time period, Motley struggled to square some of the rhetoric of the movement with his own experiences. “By the 60s, you were told to just hate every white person on the planet,” he recalls. “I could never do that because there were so many good people I had met at New Hampton, and I just couldn’t get to that generalization because New Hampton had been such a human environment. … [Reflecting on] New Hampton, in some ways, kept me sane through a tough time.”

Pictured above at the podium, Motley led a protest against Apartheid in 1982 in Springfield, MA where he practiced law.

Motley graduated from Columbia with a degree in philosophy, environment of financial ambition: “As one of the professors said to me, but he wondered if the life in academia promised by his chosen major ‘Mr. Motley, you don’t need to come to Columbia Law School to be a was his true calling. Would publishing abstract concepts in academic landlord/tenant lawyer.’ I was young enough that I was really hurt by journals affect the positive change in the world he hoped? Would his this because I thought being a tenant lawyer or a farm attorney was life’s work touch enough people? He wasn’t so sure, and these were a good thing to do.” While still intellectually stimulated by the legal concepts that now resonated with him thanks to his experiences at process, Motley started to consider alternative career paths as many of Columbia. Meanwhile, Motley had always felt a tug toward the law, and his peers were shopping for courtroom suits and Wall Street apartments. his recent connections to social advocacy at Columbia crystalized that (He refers to his experience at Columbia Law as a time in which his interest. “Lawyers are advocates,” Motley reflects. “They’re wordsmiths. “eyesight corrected.”) At a crossroads in his professional life, Motley once They speak for others. It’s where justice is being done. Growing up, the again embraced the opportunity of the unknown. Instead of moving idea of justice and helping people with the law is something I found right into work at a law firm, Motley took a job as an Assistant Dean at attractive.” With the prestigious Columbia Law School right at his Amherst College in Amherst, MA. In his three years at Amherst, he loved the work but found something doorstep upon graduation, Motley instead took a year off from study to work in Columbia’s admissions department, a continuation of work missing from his experience. “I kind of missed the law, talking about law, he had done part-time as an undergraduate. He did enroll at Columbia being around lawyers,” he admits. “Amherst was a wonderful experience; I could have stayed there Law the following year, and forever, but I felt I was away would complete his law degree “BY THE 60s, YOU WERE TOLD TO from something.” there, but the admissions It was then that work would serve to whet his JUST HATE EVERY WHITE PERSON ON he stumbled upon an appetite for work in higher education.

me to Chicago,” he says. “I had to go to Chicago to get to Indiana, and I had friends in Chicago, so I said what the heck? I probably won’t take this job, but I will get a free trip to see some friends.”

As Motley can attest, fate works in mysterious ways, and after much hesitation, Motley eventually accepted the job in Bloomington. “I said I would come out here for a year or two, and then I would probably get a job in Indianapolis or something,” Motley says with a smile, “but obviously I stayed out here for more than a year or two.” In fact, he found his role in the admissions office as a dean of Indiana Law School the perfect hybrid for his interest in staying connected to the law, fostering personal and social advancement, and working in higher education. He would serve the better part of the next 38 years working at IU, establishing himself as

Houghton’s three children from before her marriage to Motley and two children from Motley’s first wife, Motley counts five children and a staggering 19 grandchildren scattered between Bloomington, Chicago, Annapolis, Atlanta, and Tampa Bay. “(Yes, Christmas is exhausting!” he laughs.) And lest Motley is concerned about feeling disconnected from the law in his retirement, Haughton, now Haughton-Motley, is a longtime judge in Monroe County recently reelected to her position until 2020.

However, even in retirement, Motley cannot turn down an opportunity when it presents itself. After his retirement from IU in spring of 2015, he was drawn back into a law school admissions office in September of that year, commuting three times a week to the University of Kentucky Law School as the school’s Interim Dean of Admissions. “My brother says I flunked retirement,” he says with a smile. Finally, in April of 2016, Motley hung it up for good, ready for his second attempt at this newest opportunity: retirement.

Granted the time to not only attack his litany of hobbies and interests, including the all-important maintenance of his golf handicap, Motley finds a peace with the course his life has taken. “When you sit down and recollect what your life’s about, what you’ve done,” he says, “you can measure all the dollars and cents in bank accounts, or you can measure the impact you’ve had on institutions and on people’s lives. I had the opportunity to give people a chance, and I think I got good at judging people. I think I took some risks, but I think many of them came out very well in the end. I’m proud of some of the risks I took, just like New Hampton took a risk on me.”

Motley is a devoted attendee of the school’s reunions, making the trip to New Hampshire every five years to reconnect with his former classmates. He also serves as one of the Class of 1966 agents, working Valeri Houghton and Frank Motley at Reunion 2016 with Motley's brother Thomas ’72 and most recently to gather former Huskies to campus for niece Monique Osborne Randolph ’77. their 50th reunion. “My wife and I came back together a prominent guiding force in the lives of countless lawyers as they took and stayed at a bed and breakfast down the street,” he notes, “and even the first steps in their training at the institution. “I got a chance to be though it’s modern there — we had wifi and all that — you can still see a change agent.

IN MEMORIAM Van McLeod ’65 Donald Van Scott McLeod '65, devoted husband, father, uncle and friend passed away on July 17, 2016. Not only is Van an alumnus of the Class of 1965, he was also the Performing Arts Director at New Hampton School during the mid 1970s. Van went on from New Hampton School to serve the arts and cultural communities in several different roles, most recently serving the state of New Hampshire for 24 years as the Commissioner of the Department of Cultural Resources. At the time of his passing, he was the longest tenured state agency head currently serving.

Born in Concord, New Hampshire, Van arrived at New Hampton School in 1961, and both he and his late brother Daniel McLeod graduated in the Class of 1965. Van was a stalwart supporter of his alma mater, frequently returning to campus for events, including annual reunions. He was an enthusiastic leader of his Class of 1965 50th Reunion Committee and a devoted friend of the entire Moore Family. His passion, insight and support over the years has enriched New Hampton School and our alumni community, as well as the arts and cultural communities of New Hampshire. Van is survived by his wife of 36 years Joan Goshgarian, and their daughter Chelsea.

New Hampshire Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement at the time of Van’s passing "The preservation and promotion of cultural and historic resources is ingrained in the high quality of life we enjoy in New Hampshire, critical to our cultural identity, our economy and our vibrant communities and civic life. Van McLeod was a pillar of our cultural and historic institutions, and Tom and I join his family and loved ones, the arts and humanities communities and people across the state in mourning his loss. He was an extraordinary friend to many people and touched the lives of countless others, and he will be missed enormously."

letter from

the Advancement committee Dear NHS Alumni, Families and Friends, Thank you for your support of New Hampton School. The 2015-2016 fiscal year closed on June 30th with $3,195,462 received in gifts. Once again, our school community has proven their loyalty to Husky Nation as evidenced by the names of donors that fill the following pages.

The Fund for New Hampton School raised $972,519 in unrestricted donations, plus an additional $283,130 in restricted donations, for a grand total of $1,255,649. The Fund is critical for growth at New Hampton and your support each year allows us to maintain our forward momentum in educating students in classrooms, on the stage, on the fields and beyond. It also helps us provide access to deserving students that will enrich our school and programs, that may not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from the New Hampton School experience. Thank you for your support. We are only as strong as our community of investors.

In addition to our generous donors, we are greatly appreciative of the countless volunteers who give their time and energy each year in support of our mission. Our Reunion volunteers, phonathon callers, parent agents, exam bake coordinators, and others move New Hampton School forward in meaningful ways. From all of us at NHS, thank you for your willingness to devote your time and talent to enhance our student experience.

2015-2016 marked an exciting time in the history of New Hampton School. Our first class of International Baccalaureate students graduated from college this spring and now enter the workforce or move on to pursue graduate degrees. We broke ground on the Jacobson Arena and are making steady progress on the completion of this state-of-the-art facility for November 2016. We celebrated Andrew Menke’s tenure and hosted one of our largest alumni reunions in the school’s history with over 350 people in attendance. In future years, the newly established Robert D. Kennedy Scholarship Fund and the Menke Family Fund will support student scholarship and professional development.

Today, we embark on a new chapter in New Hampton School’s history. We welcome Joe Williams, our twenty-third Head of School, and we invite you to join us at one of the many events scheduled throughout the coming months to get to know Joe and his family.

We are grateful for your ongoing investment in New Hampton School.

Respectfully,

SARAH DEBENEDICTIS Director of Advancement

BRIANA CARDWELL ’13 “My New Hampton School experience prepared me beyond my expectations. I have seen how many of my peers in college have had to learn how to advocate for themselves and take advantage of all college has to offer. I learned these very important skills during my time at NHS and was poised on day one to take full advantage of all I was being offered.

When I think about my education, none of this would have been possible without the gift of financial aid – a gift that New Hampton School provided me through its generous scholarship package. The NHS opportunity changed my entire life’s course, setting me on the path to pursue my dream of being a Civil Rights and Immigration Lawyer.”

Briana Cardwell ’13 was a four-year student from Boston, Massachusetts. She attended Beacon Academy — an independent school in Boston that prepares inner city students for secondary independent boarding schools — and chose New Hampton School because of the feeling of connectivity she sensed when she visited campus.

During her time at NHS, Bri was a three season athlete, a House Proctor, Admission Tour Guide and Advancement Office Ambassador. She was

instrumental in the student diversity initiatives on campus while maintaining honor roll her entire four years. She was a full IB Diploma recipient and a member of the Cum Laude Society. Briana was voted as the Ben Cecil Jury of Her Peers Commencement Speaker and received a faculty citation at graduation.

Briana will be a senior at Bowdoin College where she studies Africana Studies and sociology, is a

Head House Proctor, President of the African American Society and serves on a number of other school committees.

The Fund for New Hampton School allows exceptional students from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds to realize their potential within our walls, enrich our student body with fresh perspectives and turn big ambitions into bright futures.

STATE OF THE SCHOOL REPORT 2015-2016

From a Trustee JEFF GLIDDEN ’68

“It was 1964, the Beatles began their world tour, and I was a freshman in the woods at New Hampton School. As I reflect on my four years, I grew up at New Hampton, and have developed and maintained many lifelong friendships over these 50 years.

And while there are many events and stories from my years at New Hampton, it is the great faculty and coaches like Skip Howard, Tom Diehl, Austin Stern and Bud Moore that I have thanked and so appreciated over the years. I was a very slow reader and somewhat intimidated by English class. However, Tom Diehl introduced us to Russian novels and I have been an avid reader ever since. And while at New Hampton, I enjoyed math and took six math courses, many with Skip Howard. I have relied on these strong learning skills developed at New Hampton throughout college, graduate school and in my career as a Chief Financial Officer in Boston’s high-tech industry.

Since we graduated in 1968, I have supported the school’s annual fund and enjoyed our many reunions. I retired in 2015 and this year I joined the New Hampton School Board of Trustees. It is now our turn to more fully support New Hampton, as we look to our upcoming 50th reunion. Our goal is to get 50 members of the Class of 1968 to return to celebrate our 50th!”

From a Legacy Family THE BUCK FAMILY

“Family is everything and New Hampton School has been a part of the Buck Family for 22 years. Eric ’01 and Matt ’05 essentially grew up on this beautiful campus. Both of our sons realized innumerable transformational experiences as four-year students, developing lifelong relationships with teachers and coaches, and taking advantage of the multitude of opportunities offered within the nurturing safety net that is our school community. As parents, staff, and alumni, we are proud and honored to support NHS as we continue to value the importance of giving back to an institution which has given so much to our family!”

From a Family Abroad THE MAHEIA FAMILY

“We feel very fortunate that we were able to have our kids attend New Hampton School. It was a great fit in terms of its diversity and its student-teacher-parent relationship. We all grew, becoming a part of the genuine experience, one never to be forgotten.

Whether you have a lot or a little, giving back to NHS is well worth it. Believe that the investment made is long lasting and benefits the entire world as an international school.”

From a Faculty Member ADAM AND SARA TYSON

“It’s hard to believe, but we have been at New Hampton School for a combined 37 years! We find it incredibly rewarding to watch students grow and change, not only during their time at NHS, but in the years beyond graduation. The teenage years can be challenging to navigate and we were fortunate to have dynamic adults in our lives supporting us during that time. We enjoy being able to do the same for today’s students, giving back what was so freely given to us. We have been a part of the history and evolution of NHS and feel strongly about investing in the School’s future.”

Leave a Legacy

We invite you to leave your own legacy.

JIM SALVUCCI ˇ58 What part of your time was most influential?

My public high school enrolled 3,200 students. If you were not Italian-American or Anglo-Saxon, you were in the minority. In contrast, NHS enrolled 320 boys, many of whom were bilingual, foreign nationals; the American students were drawn from many different states.

Beyond these basic differences, subtle, unspoken and undefined variables helped shape the “New Hampton experience.” The impact was greater than simply “academics and athletics.” I met students from many different places, and I discovered their cultures were as enriching and interesting as mine, and together we formed friendships spanning over sixty years.

Why did you make a gift to NHS in your estate?

As college professors and administrators Janice and I taught and counseled students from all over the world for a combined 82 years. The exposure I gained at NHS to other cultures and traditions helped me create team-based, cross-cultural learning strategies used in my classes. Janice’s teaching often also focused on cultures and traditions in her fine arts and classical music classes.

Janice and I hope our gift will further enhance the International Baccalaureate Program so NHS students can learn, firsthand, about cultures and traditions and, develop lasting friendships.

Pictured right: Janice and Jim Salvucci

JIM SALVUCCI ’58 arrived at New Hampton from Quincy, MA. Following his years at New Hampton, Jim went on to earn multiple degrees and has a 50-year history of teaching and administration in higher education. Jim and his wife Janice, also a professor emeritus, are ardent supporters of the school and actively involved in the community.
