With an average weighted GPA of 93% and a median SAT of 1300, our graduates will be scattered across 15 different states at some of the worlds most selective schools with elite scholarships in hand.This has been a very special class to me, as they entered kindergarten the first year of my headship in 2006. Over the years they have received regional and statewide recognition, and in some cases national recognition for their talents as scholars, musicians, athletes, and artists.The class of 2019 has also impressed me with their community service, conservation and tutoring efforts across Greensboro. As travelers, they have visited Europe, South Africa and Central America and brought with them contributions of supplies and good cheer. They are a class that has learned what it means to live out our mission as they have developed their intellectual, ethical and interpersonal skills. Greensboro Day School should be proud of its graduates, but they could not have been as successful without the incredible faculty who work with them each and every day. Our teachers build relationships with our students beyond their classroom walls and can be found working with students before and after school and on the weekends to help them to flourish.In recognition of their commitment, our Parents Association and our administration provide our teachers incredible opportunities to develop their professional talents. Please be sure to read the list of 2019-20 Teacher Enrichment Endowment Fund recipients and more details from our 2018-19 recipients, including an article from Ninoshka Boylston. It highlights just one of the many wonderful opportunities that our teachers have to grow and develop themselves in their fields of study.For my part, this will be my last opening letter in the GDS Magazine as Linda and I set sail on new adventures and pursuits. Its been a great run and we have loved adding one more chapter of success in the lasting history of Greensboro Day School.Warm regards,Mark C.

One particularly bold statement stood out to me. During his Commencement speech, Ed Cone 80, a former GDS student, parent, and Board Chair, said that because these seniors had successfully navigated the academic rigors of GDS, and in particular the last two years of Upper School, our graduates are prepared for any academic challengecertainly at the colleges and universities where they will be matriculating this fall, but well beyond that. As an institution we know this to be true because we follow the successes of our graduates not only in college but in life. As parents we see that level of academic preparation and confidence in our own children.But, as Ed also pointed out at Commencement, while Greensboro Day School is a premier institution for academic preparation, it is so much more. Our school is a place that fosters intellectual curiosity, cultural empathy, ethical foundations, and the interpersonal skills that our students need to be constructive contributors to the world.This is a wonderful legacy on which to build as we head into our 50th year during the 2019-20 school year, and into our next 50 years thereafter. The Board of Trustees has been working hard to capitalize on these wonderful opportunities as we move forward.We have been blessed over the last 50 years with outstanding Heads of School, including with Mark Hales highly successful 13-year tenure. As we begin this 50th year, we are extremely excited to welcome Tracie Catlett as our seventh Head of School. We are confident that Tracie will take GDS to new heights with her innovative academic background, her inclusive leadership style, and her warm and authentic nature. I am excited for everyone in our GDS community to get to know Tracie and her family.The Board of Trustees is also focused on the challenge of building our endowment, which is critical to ensuring the long-term financial success of GDS.We must be able to continue to hire and retain the very best teachers, to keep our tuition affordable for our families, to fund professional development for our faculty, to provide outstanding experiential learning opportunities, and to support our wonderful physical campus. Our endowment currently stands at about $12 million, a good number for a school that is still young but an amount that must grow if we are to meet future challenges head on.Toward that end, the Board recently approved a major endowment campaign associated with our 50th Anniversary, with the primary focus of the campaign being to grow a variety of funds within our endowment. We look forward to discussing this in more detail with our community in the coming months. As always, thank you for your support of GDS and we look forward to seeing everyone at the many 50th Anniversary celebrations during the coming academic year.David L.

Topics included, NCAA athletic recruitment, demographics and economic trends impacting college admissions, early action and early decision policies, updates on the Common and Coalition applications, how rankings impact admission and college/university decisions, and the use of social media in admissions. Faculty for the Institute consisted of Deans and Directors of Admission from Harvard, Cornell, Brown, MIT, Stanford, the University of Michigan, and Columbia as well as many other accomplished Directors of College Counseling from public and independent schools around the world.

For many, weTo nourish little thinkers learn best when were active, talking, observing, analyzing, creating, playing,collaborating,listening,drawing,researching,sharing,and questioning. All these strategies are learning methods we use every day in theto grapple with complexityclassroom to nourish little thinkers to grapple with complexity and to be able to have a dialogue with others. Last summer, I attended Connecting Collections, a 5-day intensive training on how to use art as inquiry. My classrooms during those five days were some of the most important art museums in the world - The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, and at The Guggenheim in New York City. There were times I felt near rock star status just being able to walk into these museums with my lanyard around my neck that said, Im with the band. Im kidding. It didnt really say that, but it darn sure felt like it! I was surrounded by educators of a variety of disciplines from all over the world who were equally as excited as I was to be students again. Connecting Collections used different methods of inquiry to teach curriculum incorporating modern and contemporary artwork. Each day we met at a world classmuseum to learn about object-based teaching strategies which we can use to encourage students to deeply engage with whatever they are looking at: art, literature or problem. During my five days, I also had the opportunity to listen to two fantastic keynote speakers whose inspiring words of wisdom about active viewing vs. passive watching and using art and inquiry were feverishly scribbled into my sketchbook. Connecting Collections was perfect because it introduced me, a professional artist and designer,to new ways of engaging with content. I came back to my room at the end of each day extremely exhausted from analyzing artwork, but excited to learn a different way to do it all over again the next day. Having the tables turned enabled me to see learning through my students eyes and to think about what themes, questions, activities, information, and sharing techniques may be of interest to them so that they, too, can use inquiry as a useful learning tool. Asking the right questions, or tapping into the Socratic method, stimulates critical thinking that can lead to new knowledge; it pushes us to figure out something new. Asking the right questions stimulates critical thinking that can lead to new knowledgeIve implemented what I learned right away, mostly because it felt natural to do so, and shared content with colleagues.
