There have been a number of occasions in recent weeks where the discussion has turned to the high-achieving nature of our students, and how hard it is for many of them to experience disappointment. Most of our students arrive on campus already incredibly accomplished, having […]
Another weekend gone, another week closer to the end of the semester. It was stormy this weekend – on and off – and it was decidedly cooler yesterday. This week should be somewhere between the 60s and 70s, hopefully nice for your students. Over the […]
Happy Friday to our Deac families! I hope wherever you are, you’re wearing some form of gold and/or black to show your school spirit! It’s another beautiful day here on campus, should reach the 80s, with lots of sun and everything in bloom. Spring is […]
