2008-2009 ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING The Governor’s Academy 1 Elm Street, Byfi eld, MA 01922 annual report e have all come into, but not yet through an epic storm. The dust will take some time to settle as Wwe adjust to the new reality of a very different economy. No family and no institution have been unscathed in this downturn, and The Governor’s Academy family is certainly no exception. The central responsibility of our Board of Trustees is to position The Academy in such a way that its financial stability can be assured well into the future. This encompasses careful budgeting, disciplined cost control, good plant maintenance, and fund raising success. This year’s (35th consecutive) balanced budget is testament to the fact that in good times and bad, sound management practices pay off. The Board of Trustees and administration have done other things in recent years to position the school for its future. Academic program innovation has always been part of the faculty’s forward planning. Our unique location near the Great Atlantic Salt Marsh provides the science program with an opportunity to create a signature course of study. An increasing exposure to national and international issues has at its root our Headmaster’s desire to prepare our students to act responsibly on a larger global stage. Further, in an effort to get our message out in a larger marketing context, the name change initiative together with significant new outreach in the admissions and alumni offices have resulted in historically strong enrollment numbers in spite of the downturn in the economy. More states and countries are represented by our students on campus this year because of this comprehensive strategy embraced by all departments within our school. In other words, in its long range plan the Board of Trustees anticipated a tougher market for our type of school, and implemented a course of action so we would be ready when the downturn hit. Finally, there are two groups who make this school the source of enormous pride for all who are connected with it: the faculty and staff, and our vast corps of volunteers. There is nothing so pleasing than to see all oars pulling in unison, and we can all feel reassured that with dedicated teachers and staff along with tremendous support from alumni and parents, The Governor’s Academy is well positioned to face the future. As Churchill said in an earlier tormented time: “Let us move forward steadfastly together into the storm and through the storm.” Jeff Gordon ’69 Trustee President The Archon Fall 2009 25 The Honor Roll of Donors William and Nina Binnie P’10’11 Henry ’70 and Cathy Eaton P’03’08, TR Anthony J.
