STUDENT SPOTLIGHT Xiaopei Chen ’21 The sophomore photo student captured a normal day in New York City through the eyes of a driver behind the wheel on a drizzly Monday. “It proves that any view can be lively and unique, depending on how you see the world,” she said. “In the words of Elliot Erwitt, ‘To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.’” Staff HEAD OF SCHOOL ATTENTION: Volume XC, No. 2 Chris Fortunato Send address changes to Blair Academy Bulletin, Winter-Spring 2019 P.O.

  • The School Name
    Director of Leadership Giving Mercersburg Academy Mercersburg, Pennsylvania Mercersburg Academy is an independent coed college-preparatory boarding and day school for grades 9-12 and postgraduates. Mercersburg’s proud history and rich traditions date back to 1836, when the Academy’s predecessor, Marshall College, was founded at Mercersburg. It was chartered as Mercersburg College in 1865. In 1893, Mercersburg’s Board of Regents elected William Mann Irvine to lead the institution. Within months, Dr. Irvine renamed the school Mercersburg Academy and reorganized it as a college-preparatory school based on the Exeter model. Mercersburg rapidly grew in size and stature, gaining regional and national recognition as a top college-preparatory boarding school with strong ties to Princeton University. Through the Depression and World War II, the Academy prospered. In 1969, Mercersburg embraced coeducation, and the campus and the school’s offerings continued to grow. New building projects dominated the latter half of the 20th century with the completion of Lenfest Hall, the Academy’s 45,000-volume library, the Burgin Center for the Arts, and the Simon Student Center. During this time Mercersburg established formal exchange programs with schools in five different countries and completed two enormously successful capital campaigns. Today, Mercersburg Academy offers a dynamic academic program to a diverse and close-knit community of learners. On a magnificent campus, students learn to think for themselves as they prepare for purposeful lives in a global community. Director of Leadership Giving The Director of Leadership Giving reports to the Chief Advancement Officer and will assume a key leadership role in Mercersburg Academy’s fundraising program.

  • Franklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan June 2013
    Franklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan June 2013 Certification of Review This Hazard Mitigation Plan has been reviewed by the Franklin County Emergency Management Agency. The County Emergency Management Coordinator hereby certifies the review. Date Signature Promulgation This plan is promulgated as the Franklin County Hazard Mitigation Plan. This plan is designed to comply with all legal requirements and serve as a guide and starting point for mitigating risk within Franklin County. This plan supersedes all previous plans Promulgated the ___ Day of _____________ 2013 ______________________________ Commission Chairman ______________________________ Vice Chairman ______________________________ Commissioner ______________________________ Chief Clerk/Administrator ______________________________ Emergency Management Coordinator SUMMARY Franklin County, Pennsylvania officials and public servants recognize that natural and human-caused hazards pose a significant threat to varying degrees of magnitude and frequency, to the safety and economic stability of the County, its’ municipalities and its residents. Often, the potential reality of hazards within the County is not fully understood or realized until a major disaster occurs, and then significant resources are required to respond and recover from the damages. County officials also understand that responding to hazards on a post-incident basis can result in increased costs, in terms of both financial and human losses. Accordingly, Franklin County Department of Emergency Services has prepared the Franklin County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan (FCMHMP) to assess the County’s vulnerability to natural and human-caused hazards, and to develop mitigation strategies that reduce the risks associated with those hazards. This plan is generally arranged and prepared using the template set forth in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) State and Local Mitigation Planning How To Guides.

    MERCERSBURG ACADEMY Mercersburg, Pennsylvania DIRECTOR OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION Start Date: July 1, 2021 mercersburg.edu Mission At Mercersburg Academy we embrace the values of hard work, character, and community while learning to balance independence with interdependence and individual humility with collective pride. Our students commit to a life of learning, seek to understand the spiritual nature of human existence, and develop a determination to lead and serve the world. Vision Mercersburg will boldly reimagine excellence in education by creating an interwoven academic and residential experience that will inspire our students to lead and serve in a complex, changing world. OVERVIEW Over a century ago, Dr. William Mann Irvine set forth a vision for Mercersburg Academy that was rooted in the importance of character and community.
