Favorite Chadwick Memory: “Starring as the lead in the fall musical, 'She Loves Me,' my senior year in the good old 'Aud.'  It was an honor to work with such talented actors and professional educators in the arts.

Opportunities for leadership and growth abound in Chadwick’s academic, extra-curricular and athletic programs. The well-rounded liberal arts education at Chadwick is invaluable, and I assure you that the hard work and commitment to excellence will give you a strong foundation for your future pursuits. Also, go on the senior trip! If I could do it, you can too. It’s worth it.”

Lasting Chadwick Lesson: "By believing in yourself in the face of challenges, you can accomplish exceptional feats."

Favorite Class: “U.S History A.P., American Literature A.P. and Pre-Calculus Honors with Dan Place, Karen Stevens and Bill Park, respectively.
