  • May 26, 2021 Dear Whitfield School Community: on Behalf of the Board
    Whitfield School 175 S. Mason Road Saint Louis, Missouri 63141 (314) 434-5141 www.whitfieldschool.org May 26, 2021 Dear Whitfield School Community: On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to announce that Chris Cunningham has accepted our invitation to serve as the next Head of Whitfield School, effective July 1, 2022. As you know, John Delautre will be retiring at the end of the 2021-2022 academic year after 10 years of outstanding service to our School, and we will enjoy his leadership for the next fourteen months, thus ensuring a smooth transition. Beginning in January 2021, the Search Committee, chaired by Karen Myers, worked with search consultants Nat Conard and Deirdre Ling of Educators’ Collaborative, and reviewed the credentials of candidates from throughout the U.S. and abroad. The Committee narrowed the pool of candidates to eight individuals who were invited for a confidential round of virtual interviews. Subsequently, four finalists and spouses/partners visited the campus for comprehensive two-day interviews. On May 20, the Search Committee selected Chris Cunningham as its nominee to the Board of Trustees to serve as the next Head of School. The Trustees unanimously ratified this recommendation at a Board meeting on May 25. Chris has spent the past twenty-five years in independent school education. Receiving a bachelor’s degree in Modern Thought and Literature from Stanford University in 1989, he graduated Phi Beta Kappa with Distinction and Honors. He went on to complete a Ph.D. in English from Duke University in 1996. Beginning his independent school teaching career as a 9th and 11th grade English teacher at Montclair Kimberley Academy, Chris later taught at Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart and Princeton Day School before joining the faculty at The Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville, NJ, where he is currently the Assistant Head of School and Dean of Faculty, having served since 2003 as English teacher, Head of House, Advisor, and Varsity Coach.

    AT A GLANCE “YES showed me that there was a world beyond the three big streets and one freeway that surround Lennox, [Los Angeles, CA]. YES also showed me the opportunities available for me beyond Lennox. YES gave me something to live for, it showed me the door to higher learning. And for that, I am infinitely grateful.” - Stephany Subdiaz, YES Scholar and Senior at UC Santa Cruz Program Overview Since 1998, YES has inspired the future leadership of America by empowering underserved students in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Appalachia to capitalize on education and optimize career opportunities. Growing by 60 new candidates each year, we are currently serving more than 500 students and their families from elementary school to graduate school. We offer a proven approach for academic and professional success. YES identifies young leaders from low-income communities and equips them with the resources, support, and academic skills required for success through high school, college, and career. From neighborhoods where 65% of students drop out of high school and only 8% enter any post high school program, 95% of YES scholars go on to attend the finest universities in the country. More significantly, 95% of these students graduate. Below are some of the institutions our Scholars have been accepted to: Colleges UC San Diego Phillips Exeter Academy Pritzker Prep Amherst College University of Chicago Wildwood School Brown University University of Maryland Windward School Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo, University of Michigan The Beacon School Pomona) University of Pennsylvania Carnegie-Mellon University University of Puget Sound Internships & Employment Case Western Reserve University University of Richmond Columbia University Medical Center Claremont McKenna College University of Southern California Goldman Sachs Columbia University Washington University, St.

  • STUDENTS SAID… • I Had a Good Time, and the Facilitators Were Really Good
    STUDENTS SAID… • I had a good time, and the facilitators were really good. • I enjoyed it. I could be open and honest without being judged. • Manytown made me think of things I didn't even realize. Because my high school isn’t very diverse, I haven’t really thought about what would happen if it was. • It allowed me to open my eyes and be able to connect with people from other schools who deal with tough situations everyday. • I seriously enjoyed this experience and think more students should be given the opportunity to come to a Manytown Conference. • This is my 4th Manytown and I take away something new each time. • It was a very valuable experience and I feel I got to know/understand people that are different from me. • [Manytown is a] very good opportunity to connect with students from other schools around the same area and discuss common issues in our schools. • I think that programs like this are really important and teens need to be more aware of these types of issues. It's great to see so many teens willing to come out and participate. • It was a great and educational experience. I would like to come back. The things I learned I will take back to my school and teach others. • It was great! I have more of an urge to stop violence/bullying. • I feel that this experience was very helpful. I learned a lot and feel more comfortable with confronting bullies and helping other people. • I felt it was an extremely good experience in which I can take what I have learned and educate people in my school about it.
