There have been other changes, too. After her many years with the Summer School, Gail became assistant to the dean of faculty. She retires this summer after 24 years of service to the school. Graceann Hess began her career in the Development Office under Jerry Romano but Headmaster Lance Odden recognized her talent and brought her over to the Main Hall, where she’s continued to keep the current headmaster in line. She also retires this summer, after 17 years of service to the school.
