Laurel School is a strong community—of learners, teachers, parents and alumnae. I know our legacy of rising to challenges, and I see our current situation as an opportunity to discover a great deal about the adventure of learning.
Our foundation as a school that embraces and leads with innovation positions us to take on the new world of Laurel School.
