Pingree Magazine: Spring/Summer 2025

C elebrating

IT’S ABOUT TIME.

This issue of Pingree Magazine is dedicated to the Class of 2025 — their achievements, their struggles, and the indelible mark they have left on our community.

After many years as head of school, I am humbled by how much each graduating class has taught me. This class, in particular, has given me a profound new appreciation for time and the power of meaningful engagement.

For better or worse, the Class of 2025 mastered the science of arriving precisely when the moment was right. Sometimes the timing didn’t match the school clocks — but, given the turbulent social and political landscape that has shaped their young lives, it makes perfect sense. Life happened to and around them — a lot. In response, they developed "temporal flexibility" — a nuanced understanding that meaningful engagement takes precedence over rigid scheduling.

Our graduates demonstrate an intuitive grasp of what philosophers have long argued: that chronos, clock time, must yield to kairos, the opportune moment. To them, the chronology of things is negotiable, but human connection is absolute. The Class of 2025 always prioritized the people around them and the relationships that give their lives meaning.

Research shows that people who value connection as much as achievement, who prioritize presence as much as productivity, tend to live happier and healthier lives. This bodes well for the future success of these students, and for the people and places they will impact for the rest of their lives. It gives me tremendous hope and pride to know that our graduates are ready to spread their wings and share their gifts, to teach the world that the best things — the most meaningful connections, the deepest learning, and the most authentic growth — happen not on schedule, but on purpose.

To our graduates, know that we already miss you on campus — a lot. And rest assured that we will be here for you when you return, when the time is right.

Warmly,

Tim Johnson, Head of School

THE EXHIBITION IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.

Did you know?

Over the years, Pingree School has built a remarkable permanent collection of more than 20 sculptures, thoughtfully placed across our 100+ acre campus. Some were gifted to the school, others created by members of our community, and several given in honor or recognition of individuals, enriching the Pingree landscape with meaning and inspiration.

Since 2010, the Flying Horse Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit has brought inspiring works of art to Pingree School, transforming the 100-acre campus into a dynamic open-air gallery. Featuring artists from near and far, this annual exhibit is one of the largest outdoor art displays in the region—and the only one of its kind in the country hosted by a school.

This year’s exhibit runs through November 30, 2025. More than 50 sculptures will be displayed, along with the 20+ in the school’s permanent collection. Children and dogs are welcome with adult supervision.

Welcome New Inductees of the Cum Laude Society

This spring, Pingree School welcomed a new group of 11th and 12th-grade students into its chapter of the Cum Laude Society (CLS).

Founded in 1906, CLS is an international organization that recognizes academic achievement in secondary schools for the purpose of promoting excellence (Areté), justice (Diké), and honor (Timé).

The induction ceremony featured keynote remarks from alumna Clare Reynders ’15 who shared life lessons from her Pingree experience, encouraging students to embrace the “cringe” of their high school years “because authenticity is your superpower.”

Clare Reynders ’15

I’m a “cusper” between Millennial and Gen Z, which means I have just enough Gen Z in me to know that some things about my Pingree self were a little…“Millennial Cringe.”

Skinny jeans, infinity scarves, galaxy leggings. Taking Buzzfeed quizzes in the Pond Room. Performing ukulele covers of rap songs at a coffeehouse.

The truth is, I don’t regret any of it. Not even a little bit. Not even my Glee blog or my t-shirt that said “Keep Calm and Bow Ties are Cool.”

In fact, my wise ten-years-later advice to you all is this: Embrace the cringe.

That’s what high school is for. You’re becoming a person, and an important part of that is getting curious about what you care about. My “cringe” moments helped me learn who I am, what I’m willing to embarrass myself for, and what I love.

If you’re happy, if you love something, if it brings you joy — don’t cringe at it, and don’t let other people cringing stop you, either. Instead, learn more about it!

Throw yourself into the experience of loving something. Who knows — it might just lead you to a life-long passion.

You are all so smart, so well prepared, and have the potential to make real change happen in the world. My hope for each of you as you transition into your next adventure is that you’ll embrace your weird side, be true to yourself, and move forward with the quiet confidence that comes with knowing who you are.

So congratulations to the Cum Laude inductees (don’t lose this pin!), and congratulations to all of you, who I am so jealous of, because you’re at the stage in life where your only job is to learn.”

Celebrating 25 Years of

As we approach our 25th summer of Prep@Pingree, Prep@Pingree continues to bring together seventh- and eighth-grade students from communities across Essex County, providing academic and cultural enrichment to foster personal growth and leadership development.

The heart of this program is a four-week summer intensive featuring advanced coursework and handson projects. However, the growth and learning do not stop when summer ends. During the academic year, Prep@Pingree students continue to participate in enrichment activities that affirm their identities, expand their worldviews, and inspire future learning. Many also remain engaged as Prep@Pingree alumni,

often returning as student instructors, leading the next generation of students through the summer program. Some serve in our mentorship program and take part in PrepWorks (a new addition to the Prep@Pingree experience) connecting with alumni and friends of the program for internships and work experience.

I found a strong intellectual home Not only did Prep@ Pingree leave me with incredible memories that I'll carry forever, I also met some of my best friends there. At its heart, Prep@Pingree is a community, a friend, an advocate, and the home to the kind of summer fun you never want to end.”

2025 Congratulations

TO THE CLASS OF

enior Week: & New Beginnings Celebration of Achievement

The last week of school is always full of excitement as we celebrate our graduating seniors. Senior Week brings our whole community together to honor their achievements and wish them well as they begin the next chapter of their lives. Here’s a look at the week’s events!

June 3rd

Senior Tribute Event

This beloved event is a special tradition where each senior invites a community member to share a tribute in their honor. It’s a powerful way to celebrate the strong connections between students and adults within our community.

I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT A PILLAR OF THE CLASS OF 2025’S PINGREE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THE GENUINE STUDENT-FACULTY RELATIONSHIPS WE’VE BUILT.

Whether it was staying late after class to help us review test material, creating conversation in the lunch line, or cheering us on from the sidelines during sports games, you have modeled how connection here is not one-dimensional. You strive to develop us as students and truly dedicate time to understanding us as individuals. For that, we are grateful.”

—Megan Selby ’25

WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF BEING ON CAMPUS FRESHMAN YEAR, I REMEMBER NOTICING THE BOND THE SENIORS HAD WITH THEIR TEACHERS.

The genuine passion and connection shown to students isn’t something that I can fully explain; it’s something you have to experience. I’ve tried to describe this connection to students outside of Pingree, and you wouldn’t believe the looks I’ve gotten! You coached us through low points and taught us how to bounce back. For always being in our corner, we thank you.”

—Teddy Bracken ’25

PINGREE’S MISSION STATEMENT ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO ONE ANOTHER.

The class of 2025 has accomplished this goal, but only with the help of their mentors, Pingree’s faculty and staff, who have dedicated themselves to us over the past 4 years. We have watched you give us everything you could to help us succeed, thrive, and ultimately find the best version of ourselves both as students and as people.

—Emily

Haas ’25

Student quotes are excerpts from the full speeches delivered during the Senior Tribute Event.

Senior Prom June 5th

An unforgettable evening, filled with anticipation. This is the night that eveyone shines—a glamorous celebration of friendship, laughter, and and learning. Held at the picture-perfect Willowdale Estate, seniors embrace their last hurrah before graduation.

June 6th

End-of-Year Awards

The culminating all-school event of the 2024–2025 academic year, this annual awards ceremony is a cherished time to recognize the outstanding achievements of our community members.

Commencement June 8th

Sunday, June 8th marked the official end of the Class of 2025’s time as Pingree students. The community came together with a warm farewell celebration.

AFTER WHAT FELT LIKE THIRTY YEARS, BUT WAS REALLY ONLY THREE, WE REACHED OUR SENIOR YEAR AT PINGREE. WE STARTED OFF AS FRESHMEN, WEARING MASKS AND CLUMPED TOGETHER IN THE POND ROOM, BUT NOW WE WERE THE SENIORS. THE KIDS THAT SEEMED LIKE ADULTS TO OUR UNDERCLASSMEN SELVES. THAT WAS US NOW.

The middle of senior year was a blur of college applications, polar plunges and midterms, but eventually, the time we were waiting for had arrived. As we entered our final week with a bittersweet feeling, we took our spirit to the next level. We laughed as students brought trash cans and cooking pots instead of backpacks, and cheered as seniors and underclassmen alike jumped, slid, and flipped down our massive slip and slide as part of our Senior Prank.

When we got to the last day of classes it was hard to accept the fact that our time at Pingree was coming to an end. It was a day of ‘lasts’. We gathered together in the theater for an unforgettable last morning meeting —one filled with a lot of music, cheering and smiling. We went through the day and got to our last break. Which meant for most of us sitting at our beloved booth in the upper commons one more time. It seemed like the day would never end but it did.

As our class of 2025 gathered in the art gallery, papers in hand, patiently waiting for the last bell to ring, reality started to set in. Yes, we would have reunions; and yes at the time we still had two more weeks till we would all see each other again at graduation rehearsals. But, we would never be able to experience a normal Pingree day together again. You would think we would have gotten our fill after four years but, as the last bell rang and we cheered and threw our papers all anybody could say is ‘I wish we had more time’.”

—Yash Bolishetti’25 & Jessica Garron’25 Excerpt from Student Welcome to Commencement Speech

I

THINK WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE SAYING THAT YOU COME TO HIGH

SCHOOL TO ‘FIND YOURSELF.’

IF OUR TIME AT PINGREE HAS TAUGHT ME ANYTHING, IT’S THAT WE BECOME OURSELVES WITH EACH OTHER.

When I think about the person I am today, I can’t separate her from the people who got her here. From the late night texts over shared stress about exams, to sitting together during breaks in the commons, we have grown together. We become ourselves during the pep rallies with full

attendance, in team huddles, during group projects, and the bus rides home after a long game. These small moments, so easy to overlook, have quietly shaped who we’ve become because they’ve happened together. Pingree didn’t hand us our identities, they gave us a community, a grade to safely, awkwardly, and bravely begin to build ourselves.

As we sit here today, on the edge of yet another unknown, it’s comforting to know that what we carry with us isn’t just knowledge or accolades or college plans, it’s each other. It’s the shared laughter echoing through the halls, it’s the whistles after a performance, it’s a passing smile. It’s the way we have learned to lean on one another, challenge each other, and grow together.

I won’t pretend I’ve figured everything out. None of us have. But what I do know is that every step, even the backwards ones, has moved us closer to the people we are becoming, to finding ourselves.”

—Samahra Salah’ 25 Excerpt from Baccalaureate Speech

MY MOM, WHEN SHE DROPPED ME OFF TO GET ON THE BUS MY FIRST WEEK AT PINGREE, SAID SOMETHING SIMPLE: “USE YOUR POWERS FOR GOOD.”

I’ve come to realize that those “powers” she talked about aren’t necessarily big or flashy. They’re the quiet strengths we carry: the courage to walk into a room where you don’t know anyone, the resilience to keep showing up even when you feel unsure, and the heart to choose kindness when you could choose distance.

As I look around at Class of 2025, I see a group of individuals who have each found their way, who have each faced their own version of uncertainty and leaned into it with strength and grace. Together, we’ve become more than just classmates.

We’ve chosen to be a class defined by being excited, bringing energy into classrooms, games, performances, morning meetings, and everyday conversations. We’ve committed to being united, supporting one another through losses and wins, stress and celebration. We’ve led with compassion, reaching out to lift each other up when things got hard.

And now, as we prepare to leave, I believe we are a class that is fulfilled—not because everything was easy, but because we faced it all together.”

—Marco Mottola ’25 Excerpt from Baccalaureate Speech

FOUR YEARS AGO, WE WALKED INTO PINGREE WIDE-EYED. WE WERE TERRIFIED OF GETTING LOST ON THE FIRST DAY, UNSURE IF WE’D EVER FIND OUR PEOPLE OR FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SCHEDULE. BUT, WE FOUND OUR WAY. AND NOW, WE WALK OUT WITH SO MANY MEMORIES AND SO MUCH GROWTH BEHIND US.

It happened in the small moments. Lying out under the sun in the hedge garden, talking about everything and nothing at the same time. Sitting in the commons at break or lunch, crowded around a table where we thought more chairs would somehow fit, laughing over jokes that only we understood. It happened during group projects that went off task, and quiet looks of encouragement before a big test.

These relationships, the kindness, the genuine conversations, the dumb jokes, were the glue that held us together. We’ve seen each other in every version of ourselves: tired, excited, stressed, happy, inspired. And that kind of connection is rare and real. We have supported each other not just as classmates, but as humans. And if there is one thing I hope we can carry with us, it’s the understanding that community isn’t built by grand gestures, but by showing up for each other over and over again. That is what made Pingree home.”

—Allie Leikikh ’25 Excerpt from Closing Remarks

I WANT TO END WITH A MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE. THANK YOU TO THE FACULTY FOR SUPPORTING THE CLASS OF ‘25 THROUGH THICK AND THIN, FOR YOUR UNDYING PATIENCE, AND FOR GUIDING US TO BECOME THE FUTURE CHANGEMAKERS WE ARE TODAY.

Thank you to the parents and the Pingree community for empowering us to fight through each challenge we faced, for being here today to show your support, and for getting us to every game, performance, and friend’s house even when the hours spent in the car really began to stack up.

And lastly, the most important thanks goes to the seniors.

Thank you for sharing your laughter. Thank you for showing up and bringing energy to every pep rally and school dance, even when it was definitely low. Thank you for diving down that slipand-slide, dealing with the cold breeze or perhaps even an injured shoulder, with a grin of support. I’ll never forget the terms pop out, pack the Johnny, buried, or mornin’ everybody. I’ll never forget the grade group chat or the festive spirit weeks or that night in August at the Forks when we had the whole year ahead of us, full of jokes and excitement and what would become an inseparable bond.

I’ve had the most joyful and fulfilling four years of my life, and I can’t wait to reconnect at some point down the road to celebrate our accomplishments and look back on our time as Highlanders.”

—Kyle Greason ’25 Excerpt from Closing Remarks

Sheng-Chu Lu –Mandarin Teacher

A Fond Farewell

At this year’s Tribute Event, we honored two long-tenured members of the Pingree team — Paul Tetta, Director of Advancement Services; and Sheng-Chu Lu, Mandarin Teacher. Here are photos and excerpts from the individual and unique tributes to their careers with Pingree.

Known for her kindness, creativity, and unwavering dedication, Sheng-Chu transformed Mandarin education at Pingree with a uniquely engaging and thoughtfully structured curriculum over her 15 years in South Hamilton. As she and her family embark on a new chapter in New York, Sheng-Chu leaves behind a legacy of excellence, compassion, and inspiration.

When I first started teaching here, I thought I would just teach some lessons, assign homework, and hopefully get through the week without hearing “What?! We had homework?”

Pretty quickly, I learned that teaching at Pingree is not just about homework or tests. It’s about moments: unexpected, funny, beautiful moments that stay with us. As time goes by, those small moments turn into something big: connection, milestones, and sometimes, even life-changing decisions.

In my first year, I still remember the very first time I walked into my classroom. It was a class of seniors. They looked at me and said, “Hi, you’re the new teacher! Don’t worry, we

have been here for 3 years. We can show you how everything works. You’ll be fine…as long as…. you don’t give us too much homework.” They were so kind and energetic. That was my first impression of the school culture: friendly, thoughtful, and compassionate. After 15 years, I know my first impression was absolutely right.

In your Pingree experiences, it’s not only about tests and grades. It’s the small memories, the people we meet, and the joy that stays with us. So even when you are busy in college, if you see something that reminds you of Pingree, please know that you always have a home here that cheers for you no matter where you go.

MY STUDENTS KNEW I WAS GOING TO HAVE A BABY, AND STARTED ASKING ME MANY INTERESTING QUESTIONS:

“Do babies use tiny, tiny water bottles?” “Do babies wear Crocs?”, “Can babies wear sunglasses?” Later, I found out they were planning a surprise baby shower and trying to decide what to get me. Maybe they didn’t know much about babies, but they absolutely know how to make someone feel cared for. That’s the kind of kindness I have always felt at Pingree: caring, genuine, and supportive.”

—Sheng-Chu Lu

Mandarin Teacher

PAUL, YOUR LEGACY AT PINGREE ISN’T JUST IN OUR CLEAN DATA AND RECONCILED REPORTS—

it’s in the relationships you’ve built, the laughter you’ve shared, and the care you’ve shown for this community. Your high standards and sharp wit have inspired us all. We’ll miss your insight, your talent, and most of all, the joy you brought to our halls.”

—Cara Lawler ’01 Director of Advancement

Paul Tetta –Director of Advancement Services

Typically, departing faculty and staff are invited to speak to the community — to reflect on their time at Pingree and the impact the school has had on their life and career. Characteristically, former punk rocker Paul Tetta chose to perform with Pingree students rather than speak. However, Director of Advancement Cara Lawler paid tribute to Paul upon his retirement — here are excerpts from her remarks:

“For 20 years, Paul has been the backbone of our advancement operation—our spreadsheet whisperer, our data detective, our go-to guy for pivot tables, pledge reports, and the occasional witty pun. He has brought unmatched integrity, humility, and humor to every interaction. Whether sharing stories of his punk rock days in New York having performed at the legendary CBGB Club among new wave bands like Blondie, the Ramones, and the Talking Heads, infiltrating Joe Pepitone’s face across a second floor sea of Red Sox fans, or slipping in a perfectly timed joke—often with Buddy Taft as his willing apprentice—Paul reminds us that excellence and joy can go hand in hand.”

During these two weeks, Natalia has taught me much about what she and other midwives do by letting me shadow her and answering my numerous questions. I’ve been able to witness the huge impact nurses and midwives have in obstetrics and gynecology, helping countless women through their pregnancy both faceto-face and behind the scenes.

“The first picture is of myself and Jaime Joyce. The second picture includes Dr Thomas Mulroy and Aby Amigo. We had a great opportunity to swap for a day so Aby and Jaime could see how a sports med doctor and a PT can work closely together to ensure great patient care. Tom and myself have used our great bond through Pingree and have continued the values and teamwork we learned as students well into our professional careers.”

“Shadowing Dr. Mulroy has been an amazing experience! He is so kind to his patients and is an excellent teacher. He is a very busy doctor but still takes the time to ensure I understand every part of the process, even on the busiest of days. His patients have nothing but great things to say about him. It is truly inspiring to see how he makes a difference in people’s lives. Dr. Mulroy has been a great person to talk to as I figure out my next steps for my life. He has provided me with valuable insight into the medical field as well as school, and career advice. I have loved this experience and would recommend it to future students!”

“For my senior project, I was lucky enough to be able to shadow and work with Kian McGee ‘14 at his job at GID (General Investment and Development), where he is an associate on the Debt Capital Markets team.

As I head to college in the fall with an intended major in economics, I feel better prepared and excited to be making this transition. I have learned so much in my two weeks at the office, and I look forward to staying in touch with Kian in the coming years! I am grateful for this opportunity and feel fortunate to have been able to experience the warmth of the Pingree community in a new location.

“I had an amazing time shadowing Hope Taft at the Martinos Center. I gained insight into the working lives of so many different people with diverse roles in the STEM field. Their work seems incredibly rewarding to me, as they are actively improving the healthcare system. It has inspired me to keep pursuing an engineering major, knowing that I’ll one day be able to create meaningful change myself. Everyone I shadowed, and especially Hope, was gracious in letting me step into their world, despite how busy they are. They were all incredibly eager to share their knowledge and experiences with me. This project connected me with many influential people and served as a fantastic networking opportunity before I head off to college, and for that, I am especially grateful. I hope that one day this experience may even lead me to another opportunity to collaborate with Hope and the Martinos Center.

Alumni Profile: Cooper McGrath ’19

Chasing the Dream, One Step at a Time.

Cooper McGrath’s journey over the past five years is a study in resilience. Determined to play college baseball, but with minimal interest from recruiters, he enrolled at Trinity College as a walk-on.

Then came COVID-19. Shortly after Cooper learned that he did not make the team, everyone was sent home to study remotely. As he puts it, “I spent that time getting stronger, so I was ready to roll sophomore year.” Then his mother fell ill, and he headed back home. By junior year things had settled down — he made the team and had a good junior and senior year playing at Trinity. He spent his last two years of college eligibility playing for Northeastern University, where he also completed his master’s degree in finance.

We spoke with Cooper from Arizona, where he was training with the San Francisco Giants current draft class. The first Pingree graduate to be drafted by Major League Baseball, he spoke about how Pingree informed who he is today:

“Pingree encourages you to shoot for the stars… to trust yourself and work hard. It’s super valuable to believe that you can be whoever you want to be, as long as you put your head down and do the work. I have a long road ahead of me — I just try to get better every day, to master the process and learn from the coaches around me. And I don’t take anything for granted.”

I found a strong intellectual home at Pingree — the adults around me recognized and cultivated my intellectual curiosity. Mrs. Dyer and Dr. Spooner supported my interest in the history of US empire from day one. If Mr. Soodik had not recommended that I consider Vassar, I never would have applied. And without the support of Ms. Paczkowska (History department chair), Ms. McCoy (History teacher), and Dr. Coulombe (History teacher), I would never have considered going for my PhD.”

— Julianna Aguja ‘21

Julianna Aguja ’21

The Power of Curiosity and Connection.

Julianna Aguja headed to Vassar in fall 2021, fully intending to make her way to law school and figuring that her love of history would always be a side pursuit.

Four years later, she’s working on a PhD in US history at Yale, studying US imperialism through the lens of business, state, and society. The courses she took at Pingree laid the foundation for the work she’s doing today — understanding the histories of people and societies that have been the victims of imperialism.

At Vassar, Julianna had the opportunity to work as a research assistant to historian Bob Brigham, supporting his soon-to-be published memoir This is a True War Story: My Improbable History with Vietnam. Julianna is currently exploring the history and impact of Spanish and US colonialism in the Philippines as illustrated by the founding and evolution of the San Miguel Brewery — initially established in 1890,

and currently one of the largest corporations in the Philippines.

She very much appreciates that even years later, she still has a home at Pingree. “I have visited every year since graduating. The faculty and staff clearly still have an active interest in my life after Pingree. I know they will always be people I can talk to.”

Sarah Greenough ’69 shares, “After 47 years of working at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, I am going to retire at the end of January. I was the first and the founding curator of photographs there and I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting many distinguished photographers, such as Robert Frank, Harry Callahan, and Sally Mann, and I also got to know the artist Georgia O’Keeffe very well. She was the widow of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz, and the National Gallery has a very large collection of his photographs. I have enjoyed my job more than I could have imagined, but I’m also really looking forward to retirement.”

Pamela Winsor ’69, Kathy Bradford ’69, Sally Smithwick ’69, and Esther Darling Mulroy ’69 met for early dinner at the 1640 Hart House restaurant in Ipswich in June 2025. The group enjoyed great conversation and continue to get together to share stories and life updates.

Amanda Carey Hogan ’71 shares, “I am enjoying retirement from

Windrush Farm, but continue to consult on instructor, client and horse training issues. Happily, I am a Windrush board member and invite the Pingree community to come visit anytime.”

Amy Ballou Macfarlane ’77 writes, “We moved to San Diego from Santa Barbara to be near our youngest, Will, and his family, especially our latest 7-mo old grandson, Henry. I get to care for him at least one day/week. Great exercise.” (See Photo 1)

Mike Jedrey ’80 is excited to share that he and Tobi became first-time grandparents this July with the birth of Willy Cove Jedrey to their eldest son, Sam, and his wife, Allie. Mike also celebrated his 36th year as a middle school educator at Rocky Hill Country Day School in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. (See Photo 2)

Meredith Shuwall Pasquesi ’82 shares, “After living in California since graduating from Pingree, I’m looking forward to returning to the North Shore for the summer and fall seasons. We are building

a home in Manchester down the street from my childhood home. Our daughter Nina is starting at Boston College this fall and our son Teddy will be in his senior year at USC and then plans to work in NYC. So our family is making a shift to the East Coast which is exciting. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with friends in the area.”

Jody Comins ’86 shares, “We’re getting ready to sell our family home in MA and move full-time to Great Diamond Island in Maine. My husband and I are "snowbirds" in Tel Aviv where we volunteer and support the soldiers and our community. My older daughter, Talia (age 26), lives and works in NYC for Entwine, the young adult department of the Joint Distribution Committee, a global Jewish charity. My younger daughter, Elizabeth (age 23), finished a year of teaching English in Thailand and solobackpacking in Southeast Asia after she graduated from Tulane University. We had an amazing time visiting her!” (See Photo 3)

Jeff Dainton ’86 writes, “Just hit 27 years on the job. July 31st 2025!

Three more years to go and I get to roll the clock back to zero and do another 30 years!”

(See Photo 4)

Christine Cataudella Hopkins’86 writes, “Hello classmates! I recently took a job with Spaulding Rehabilitation after working in outpatient orthopedics for eight years with Cambridge Health Alliance. I have the opportunity to work with runners from the adaptive sports program which has been rewarding. My oldest son Stephen lives in Austin TX; my youngest Michael graduated from Bridgewater State University where he became an All-American Scholar Wrestler. He is working in sales for

a technology start up in Somerville. Both are healthy and happy! I continue as a masters runner and have taken on the challenges of Ultra Trail Running. I am grateful that my health allows me to meet the physical and mental challenges of these races and life in general. I’m still in Swampscott and I hope to see some of you soon.”

(See Photo 5)

Jason Galui ’95 shares, “Our daughter, Stefanina, is now a member of Pingree’s Class of 2027. Our son, Jacob, is at Quinnipiac University earning his undergraduate (2027) and graduate degrees (2028) through the School of Communications. We are excited

to get settled in our new life on the North Shore.”

Bill Lemos ’95 and Chrissy McCarthy Lemos ’96 share, “We are incredibly blessed to report our daughter, Caroline ’25, is now officially a member of the Pingree Alumni community as we celebrated her graduation from Pingree. Congrats to the Class of 2025 and welcome to the alumni family.” (See Photo 6)

CeCe Brotchie-Fine ’96 writes, “Hi Pingree, it’s been quite a long while since I provided an update, but the note about teachers enjoying reading about our accomplishments tugged at me a bit in the most

recent email [well played ;-) ]. I am happy to share that I completed my Doctorate in Bioethics at Loyola University Chicago in 2024, photo from my graduation along Lake Michigan is included. I have been working at Novartis Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, MA for the past 17+ years, currently as Executive Director, Ethics for our R&D organization, and would be happy to connect with other alums in the pharmacy/biotech fields. In addition I have been a lecturer in the graduate bioethics program at Columbia University, where I completed a Master’s degree in 2020. Lecturing has reaffirmed my love of teaching and highlighted how the fantastic teachers at Pingree gave much more to students than they may knowthank you all.” (See Photo 7)

Laura Coltin Ogden ’98, Sarah Huffman Jarvis ’98, Lisa Fuccione Mitchell ’98, and Alyssa Zagrobski Witt ’98 enjoyed a fun Thanksgiving meet-up with their families in Pingree’s Weld Gym. (See Photo 8)

Benjamin Zanfagna ’01 shares, “From our small Maine homestead, life feels full and rooted. Samantha and I welcomed our third child, Naomi, in June, joining River (4) and Shiloh (2) in the joyful cacophony. Our cow, Pepper, just gave birth to a bull calf, Cocoa, and the hogs, hens, and gardens keep us well-fed and grateful.

slower beat. Samantha’s Uprise Hot Yoga and Somatic Fitness in Freeport has become a community hearth, and I keep music close— composing, producing, and sometimes performing with Red Tail Hawk. These days are rich with health, abundance, and love—gifts Pingree helped prepare me to tend and appreciate, as Steiner wrote, like seeds planted in soil and soul. Many blessings to you all, and may we keep shining love wherever life leads us.”

Pingree classmates and their families traveled to Tuscany and had a great time exploring Italy’s beautiful countryside and enjoying its delicious food.

Alexandra St. Pierre ’08 writes, “I am thrilled to share that as of February 2025, I am now the owner of Hamilton Wenham Veterinary Hospital, an endeavor I undertook with my husband, Andrew, after 5 years with the practice as an associate veterinarian. Andrew has also transitioned into a career with Republic Airways as a commercial pilot. Any moment we are not at the practice or in a plane is spent with our beautiful 2-year-old son, Rhys!”

It was a big year for the “Fab 5” friends: Alexandra Glazer Brasco ’09, Audrey Wilson Ellis ’09, Katie Milaschewski Giguere ’09, Jen Murphy Clancy ’09, and Amanda

Sinclair-Nasser ’09. In December 2024, the group celebrated Amanda at her wedding at Hawthorne Hotel in Salem, MA. The friends later joined each other at two baby showers, one for Audrey in

Newburyport and another for Alex in Boston, who both welcomed their first children in Spring 2025.

In Memoriam

Señora Rosa Miriam Rogers

Beloved teacher, mentor, and friend 1940-2025

The Pingree School community mourns the loss of Rosa Miriam Rogers, former Chair of the Foreign Language Department and beloved Spanish teacher, who passed away on October 1, 2025, at the age of 85.

For nearly two decades, Rosa brought a rare blend of passion, theatricality, and deep cultural knowledge to our classrooms. She believed that language was more than grammar and vocabulary—it was a portal to empathy, understanding, and global citizenship. With every lesson, Rosa invited her students not only to speak Spanish but to feel it, to live it, and to connect with the world beyond our walls.

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and raised in Guayama, Rosa's love for storytelling and the arts was kindled early. She performed on stages across the island as a young girl— singing, competing in declamation contests, and playing piano in concert halls. At 14, she left Puerto Rico to attend Miss Hall’s School in Massachusetts, an experience that shaped her bicultural identity. She often said, “Puerto Rico is my heart and soul,” and her heritage remained a powerful influence throughout her life and teaching.

After earning degrees from Vassar College and Boston University, Rosa eventually found her true calling in education. Though fluent

in several languages, she chose to teach Spanish—her first love—and joined the Pingree faculty in 1994, where she quickly became a pillar of the language department.

Rosa’s teaching was unforgettable. With a flair for drama and a deep respect for every student's voice, she transformed the classroom into a vibrant stage of expression and discovery. She often said that learning another language allowed you to "live two lives," and her students—many of whom went on to study abroad, pursue international careers, or simply keep in touch with her years after graduation—are living proof of that belief.

Beyond the classroom, Rosa was a mentor, a colleague, and a dear friend. Her warmth, laughter, and fierce dedication touched everyone who knew her. In the words of one of her former students: "Sra. Rogers didn’t just teach us Spanish. She taught us how to live with passion, curiosity, and purpose."

We are grateful for all that Rosa gave to Pingree, and we honor her legacy with love and admiration.

2024–2025 Annual Report of Giving

Dear Pingree Community,

We are proud to share the 2024-2025 Report of Giving as a tribute to your steadfast support and dedication to Pingree School’s mission and ongoing development. A remarkable and enduring aspect of our community is the spirit of generosity that impacts every part of the Pingree experience. Your contributions—whether annual, capital, endowment, or planned—play a vital role in sustaining our programs for the near and long term, shaping and securing a dynamic and enriching experience for all members of the Pingree community.

The 2024-2025 fiscal year was a rewarding period of growth and opportunity, marked by meaningful engagement and philanthropy. Anchored in our mission, our work has strengthened our foundation and cultivated authentic partnerships that reflect the heart of our school. Together, we raised more than $6 million in gifts and pledges from approximately 1,000 donors between July 2024 and June 2025. We are excited to spotlight the following achievements and initiatives funded by philanthropy:

• $1.2 million raised for our annual priorities, including unrestricted support of the Pingree Fund, Prep@Pingree, and the Head’s Fund for Innovation;

• Nearly $5 million secured in new gifts and pledges toward Pingree’s endowment and campus master plan;

• Inspired 617 gifts from the extended community on our annual Giving Day, raising over $125,000 in celebration of the #MomentsThatMatter at Pingree;

• Welcomed mission-aligned speakers to campus, including artist and entrepreneur Danielle Coke Balfour; community read author Monique Gray Smith; Olympic Gold Medalist, Meghan Duggan; and civil dialogue facilitator Jason Craige Harris as part of our community speaker series;

• Increased professional development and student travel resources for Advanced Pingree Educational Experiences (APEX), pinnacle courses that empower students to feed their intellectual curiosity, generate new ideas by combining creative and critical thinking, and expand their learning across academic disciplines;

• Redesigned spaces for the Educational Resource Center (ERC), Writing Center (WC), Quant Center (QC), and Counseling Offices to provide more expansive space for student support.

As a new academic year begins, we remain heartened by the culture of philanthropy at Pingree, a steady and strong affirmation of our shared belief in the mission and future of our school. We look forward with hope, aspiration, and a commitment to deepening relationships, engagement, and participation across our community. The continued success of our school depends on a collective belief and a shared investment in the future of Pingree. We extend our deepest gratitude to all who contributed this year, and we look forward to building on this momentum together.

Sincerely,

Timothy M. Johnson Head of School

PEGASUS SOCIETY SPOTLIGHT

Mr. Richard Erickson, longtime art room denizen, has left a lasting legacy by including Pingree School in his estate plans. A genius teacher, artist, and mentor, Mr. E’s forward-looking philanthropy reflects his lifelong commitment not only to the arts but to the joy and well-being of Pingree students—past, present, and future. When asked why he chose to include Pingree in his estate plans, he replied, “...I had fun everyday.” Mr. E’s philanthropic plans will ensure that future Pingree students will continue to be nurtured by the same spirit of imagination, fun, and excellence that defined his remarkable career in South Hamilton.

The Pegasus Society

The Pegasus Society recognizes supporters of Pingree who have notified us that they have made a provision for the School in their estate plans.
