David and Kim received positive vibes from their brief time on campus, and they believe Brian and his team have the charisma and energy to take Proctor to new heights. He’s excited to see everyone back for their (and he can’t believe he’s writing this) FIFTIETH reunion in 2024. A thank you to Lauren & Brian for their gracious hospitality!

She was thrilled to attend Reunion Weekend 2022, which was, “super fun, what an incredible turnout!” She noted that meeting so many alumni from different decades and hearing their stories was pure joy. The absolute best part was reconnecting with teachers, coaches, Julia (Gwinn) Huggins ’91 and Maria (Gregorio) Jones ’92... what a trip! They all have that one incredible thing in common - Proctor! As the days count down for her daughters to head to Proctor, she is reminded of her Proctor experience, which has come full circle as she begins her next chapter at Proctor as a parent. Reconnecting with Proctor and those she holds dear has just been mind-blowing this year. She is thrilled to watch her daughters grow and experience their own adventures as a Hornet. ‘Together… that’s what life is all about.”

Resident Fellow Paige Critcher writes of Carter’s works, ‘What makes them so exciting to the viewer is that one can’t tell initially if what they are looking at is an act of natural assemblage. They demand a pause, a careful scrutiny, which then becomes a magical sense of having stumbled upon the sacred.’”
