| "I am a GS graduate, class of 1978, and was very happy to return to GS in 2000. I live on campus with my husband (Kevin ’77) and our two sons. GS is a school and a community. Admission work helps students and families get to know our school—it’s great fun to help guide this process! Helping students and families see the interconnectedness between our academics, athletics, arts and service, is a great privilege. People who live and learn here grow into who they are meant to be." |

| "I have been at George School since 1990, and I am ready to answer any questions that you may have regarding the financial aid or application processes. I have been fortunate enough to have my children graduate from here. Having witnessed them blossom into caring adults, I know what a truly special place George School is. The academics more than prepared them for college, but what was most impactful was their teachers’ challenging them to open their minds and think outside the box." |
