An experienced faculty, carefully selected for both competence and compassion, is the heart of our school. Recruited nationally, our faculty mirrors the diversity of our close-knit community. In addition to their instructional duties, teachers serve as counselors, advisors, coaches and friends—people with whom students can share their fears and concerns, their hopes and dreams. At a ball game or dance, during lunch or after school, teachers give freely of their unscheduled time, always available to lend a hand or an ear.
