I
t is with a great deal of pride that I serve on South Kent School’s Board of Trustees. It is a privilege to serve with the other board members, many of whom are also SKS alumni, as we help the School set a course through the next decade and beyond. I am also fortunate to head up the board after the capable leadership of my predecessor, Harold Bogle, who helped guide the school to accomplish many milestones: • the development of a school–wide strategic plan • the construction of the first new dorm in thirty years • an increased endowment and enrollment • an enhanced college list While these and other achievements have put the School on a strong financial and educational footing, we have much work ahead of us as we deal with the challenging economic and educational environment. We have plans to upgrade the facilities starting with a new dining facility, increasing the number of Advanced Placement classes that we offer, and improving life on campus for both faculty and students. In these difficult times it is imperative to preserve, and grow, the unique environment that South Kent School offers to all of its constituents. I encourage all of us to support SKS with any of the resources that we can offer: time, money or advice. The SKS way of life survives and thrives on our support. Let’s grow stronger together. Please contact Andy Vadnais or me with suggestions, comments or any other help you can provide to the School.
