Director of Admission, Lakehill Preparatory School
I love lists. So when the New Year approaches, I get especially energized. Now this will date me, but growing up, I always looked forward to listening to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 best songs of the year. And, I still love hearing the year-end lists of best movies, books, etc. Now, I’m busy making my own New Year’s lists of goals and ideas. Some are on paper; others swirl in my head hoping to materialize. My family laughs at me when I talk in lists. I’ll often say, “Well first, now second, and finally…” You can imagine how I felt when David Letterman retired. What, no top 10 lists? What to do?
So, when I offered to write Lakehill’s January blog, of course I knew I had to make a list! My twin middle school girls proudly call Lakehill Prep their school home, and it’s where I serve as the Director of Admission. So from the perspective of both a parent, and an admission officer, here is my list of favorite things about Lakehill!
This list can go on and on, but for brevity’s sake, here are my top five:
- The Headmaster greets children at the door each day. And warmly. With a handshake.
- The faculty is passionate about teaching. It shows. Students shine.
- Class size is small and interactive. On purpose. With thought.
- You’re not a number at Lakehill. You matter.
- Our graduates rock college acceptances. 100% of them. Every year. With scholarships.
So, please have a wonderful 2017, and our best to you and yours. Come by and visit to check out my list for yourself. You’ll find that and so much more.
Happy New Year!
