  • 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.

This year, the schoolE theme was fi rst alluded to in our puzzling all-school read, The Little Prince. During the fi rst weeks of school, the administration has presented the theme in a narrow sense, raising eyebrows. Is it really that effective to have the junior class do yoga in the quad? Are the talks on de-stressing stressful? Is mindfulness limited to stress relief? Given the emphasis on alleviating the stress we cannot eliminate, it is too easy to dismiss the mantra rather than seriously investing in it.

    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.

  • Committee on Trustees (COT) Governance Review May 2018 in a March 2017 Letter to the Community, PEA Shared That in Response to R
    Committee on Trustees (COT) Governance Review May 2018 In a March 2017 letter to the community, PEA shared that in response to recommendations made by Choate Hall & Stewart, the trustees would be “conducting a further governance review, via the Committee on Trustees, to research best practices in school governance and benchmark PEA against other institutions. Topics to be reviewed include the composition and culture of the Trustees, length of terms, ongoing Trustee education, and the structure and frequency of Trustee meetings. Actions taken as a result of this review will be shared with the community when completed.” We are providing an update of the work to date, as the review process is still ongoing. Governance at Phillips Exeter Academy lies with the Trustees. Drawing upon the expertise of a diverse body of alumni volunteers, the Trustees oversee the administration of the school and the management of its financial and physical resources. The Trustees work closely with the principal and administrators, who lead the day-to-day operations of the Academy, and with the faculty, who focus on matters related to the curriculum and the student experience. While each group has its own role and responsibilities, all of us work together informed by a collaborative spirit and a shared passion for Exeter’s educational mission, a belief in the potential for transformation and discovery within all of our students, and a vision for Exeter’s ongoing excellence and leadership in secondary school education. Over the course of the past year, the COT has reviewed best practices, shared and compared governance structures with the members of the Eight Schools Association (Andover, Choate Rosemary Hall, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Lawrenceville, Northfield Mount Hermon, St.
