Fall 2019 Eagle 1 links GSA’s future to peninsula’s maritime past, p. 4 From the Head of School At GSA, we depend on our close community relationships to prepare our students for their futures. When we expand real-world learning opportunities and school- community partnerships, we create tangible, memorable connections between our students and the people and institutions in our towns to everyone’s benefit. We build these connections through our Independent Study and Internship Program, by taking students on field trips, and by bringing local experts to campus. In October, we convened a panel of area business owners and employees, mostly GSA alumni, to talk about their career paths to tenth- and eleventh-graders, the opportunities available in their fields, and how our students might embark on their own career journeys. The goal of the program was not only to show students that they don’t have to leave Maine to make a good living, raise a family, and build a life, but also to connect them with people who can help. Government reports suggest that the population of Hancock County will grow in the near future. To keep our communities vibrant, we need more young people to stick around. Educating them on local job prospects is one way to encourage them to do just that. Such a program would not have been possible without the support of so many, whom we list here in our Annual Report. We thank you for your generosity.

Did you notice that “Currents” is no longer the name of our fall magazine? After choosing to include news about our school, students, and alumni in every issue we publish, we decided to call every issue “Matters” because, well, we believe GSA matters all year. Our fall issue will always include our annual report, which is mentioned in that issue’s subtitle on the cover. In the commencement section of the summer issue of GSA Matters, Dakota Gillen, left, is incorrectly identified as Ben Parker, right, in a photo showing Dakota with a tribute to Big Grampa on his graduation cap. We apologize for the error.

Why the ceremony? The launch of Eagle 1 honored the long history of building and launching boats right here in Blue Hill Bay. Look for more launches in the future, as our current boatbuilding course, taught by master boatbuilder John Brooks and supported by a grant from the Charles Wentz Carter Memorial Foundation, builds a new skiff and completes the “fit and finish” of one they built last year. Part of GSA’s mission is to prepare students for their futures, whether they make them in our local communities or elsewhere in the world. Courses like Experiential Education and Outdoor Leadership, Maine Environment, and Boatbuilding do just that by preparing students for traditional careers on the coast, but also by building students’ confidence and leadership skills, both of which will serve them well in any career.

GSA Matters Fall 2019 15 The Academy Building, left, opened its doors to students in 1898. Within it were large lecture spaces, not the smaller classrooms and offices it now houses. The Academy House, right, was originally home to George Stevens and family. Charles F. Cutts was the first headmaster to live there, one of many to call the house a home even as recently as the early 2000s.

NEW LEADERSHIP SOCIETY ESTABLISHED

In 1852, George Stevens, a Blue Hill shipbuilder, willed his home and land for the purpose of building a new school. It took several decades for George’s plan to be realized, but in 1898, George Stevens Academy opened its doors. The campus’s first two buildings — the Academy House, which was George’s residence, and a newly constructed Academy Building — still stand today, reminders of George’s vision for education in the community. To recognize our leading stakeholders whose longstanding support we value deeply, we have created a new giving society named for that landmark year when GSA’s Academy Building opened. The 1898 Society honors George’s enduring legacy and those donors who commit to support GSA with annual leadership gifts to The GSA Fund of $1,000 or more. Members of this society understand that their gifts are an investment in an exceptional secondary education and thus choose to prioritize GSA in their philanthropy. The 1898 Society brings together generations of donors — alumni, parents, and friends — to support virtually every aspect of academic and student life. We are pleased to invite you to become a member of The 1898 Society. A convenient way to become one of GSA’s philanthropic leaders is by pledging an 1898 Society- level gift through monthly or quarterly payments with your debit or credit card. To take advantage of this donor platform, visit georgestevensacademy.org/onlinegift and select “Make this a Monthly Gift.” You will then be given the option to select the amount and frequency of your gift payments. If you have questions about giving to GSA or joining The 1898 Society, please contact Rada Starkey at 207-374-2800 or [email protected].

GEORGE STEVENS ACADEMY ENDOWED FUNDS The Lilla Bowden 1904 Memorial Speaker Series Program Fund The Hylan Family Alumni Fund for the Performing Arts The Rusty Duym ‘65 Sailing Fund The Francis T. and Louise T. Nichols Foundation Funds The Food For Thought Fund The Nicene-Marks Pascal ‘89 Theater Arts Fund The Jerold M. ‘33 and Diana Hinckley Professional Development Fund The Spencer Winsor Student Enrichment Fund

Our endowed funds produce income every year and directly support programs and services that enhance the experiences of students and alumni, as well as faculty development. Having resources dedicated to professional development allows our faculty and staff to participate in training to enable them do their jobs better. In addition to conferences hosted by the Maine Principals’ Association, the Foreign Language Association of Maine, the Maine Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance, the Independent Schools Association of Northern New England, the Maine School of Law Summer Institute, and the Aim High Conference for independent school communications professionals, faculty and staff members took part in training on behavioral safety and digital fabrication, as well as a wilderness course. Nearly every school employee participated in at least one of these employee training opportunities.

GSA Matters Fall 2019 17 Remembering and Honoring Katrina Parson, Former Trustee

The Board of Trustees named Katrina Parson its first honorary trustee in 2018. During her years on the board, Katrina chaired a project committee to develop a master plan for GSA’s campus and co-chaired a facilities task force, which developed a topographic study of the land GSA owns behind the Blue Hill Consolidated School. Katrina’s fundraising experience and counsel were invaluable to GSA over the years. She served as a leader of our Campaign Steering Committee and Development Committee. A plaque with Katrina’s photograph hangs at GSA as our way of remembering and honoring her. Below is a tribute to Katrina given by former parent and trustee Deborah Brewster at Katrina’s celebration of life on Saturday, Sept. 21.

I am honored that Wendie asked me to talk about her mom’s conversations over lunches together at the Morning Moon life in this community. Although our paths crossed in myriad Café in Brooklin or Marlintini’s in Blue Hill.

Address service requested

Welcome to the GSA community! In September, nearly 100 new students came to our ninth-grade orientation to get to know our campus, us, and each other. The next day, we held our first-ever all-school orientation. Head of School Tim Seeley sang to us. Retired teacher and now- trustee Bill Case talked about how GSA students have more freedoms than students at many public schools and how well we handle those freedoms. Dean of Students Todd Eckenfelder brought returning students onto the gym floor to meet the new members of our community in person. There were special activities and advisory sessions. All in all, the orientation did just what we hoped it would: it set a positive, welcoming tone for the new school year. It also introduced our statement of community, which says what kind of community we aspire to be, one where even if we don’t share the same opinions, we can agree to get along with respect and empathy.

OUR STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY George Stevens Academy is dedicated to providing a safe, equitable environment for all community members, one free from discrimination and all forms of bullying and harassment. We strive to create programs and services which result in an environment that welcomes and celebrates every member of our community, provides opportunities for all to contribute, and provides for the civil rights of all.
