Upper​ ​School​ ​(Grades​ ​8-12) Cadet Upper School (grades 8-12) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Cadet Handbook ​ ​ 2017-2018 Message From The Head of Upper School ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Dear Cadets and Parents, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The faculty and staff at Admiral Farragut Academy welcome you and your family to our school community and wish great success to all our cadets. As we embark on our annual journey, it is important that cadets, parents, faculty and staff are on the same course. Please take time to review the information in this handbook which outlines cadet expectations. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ In our ongoing quest to promote academic excellence, we must establish a learning community committed to the success of all cadets.

We are committed to providing practical and educational experiences in the framework of Naval traditions that will prepare cadets to meet the academic, social and ethical challenges that await them beyond the Farragut experience.

    a publication for the admiral farragut academy community summer 2014 REVEILLE Summer 2014 a word from the dean of students Reveille is designed to give all members of our community a quick glimpse of what Farragut is today, including highlights of students, alumni, faculty and staff, past and upcoming events, Embracing Change and other important initiatives. The theme of the Summer 2014 edition of Reveille is history and culture. Our school is a bit of a dichotomy in that we value our rich history while Editors accepting and celebrating the changing culture Heather Lambie of our campus, curriculum, and study body. As we Jeff Ogden ‘00 grow and change, we weigh every decision with our Jessica Van Curen mission at the forefront. Since my first year at Farragut in 1995 and as the Head of Middle School Contributors since 2005, I have been part of the development of our school. This next Steve Edwards school year I will experience more growth and change as I transition into Robert J. Fine, Jr. the position of Dean of Students to streamline and manage discipline. Erik Larsen Therefore it only seemed fitting that my last speech as Head of Middle Heather Lambie School at the Middle School graduation covered embracing change. Alison Lescarbeau “For many, change is scary and elicits fear. But without change, we have no Jennifer Grabowski innovation, no step forward, and we become stagnant. Even Albert Einstein Jen Shedler said that the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We all have to realize that people Design change, situations change, relationships change...in fact the only thing Angela Gazabon-Serje constant is change.

    a publication for the admiral farragut academy community summer 2015 REVEILLE Summer 2015 a word from the director of residential life Reveille is designed to give all members of our community a quick glimpse of what Farragut is today, including highlights of The Yin and the Yang of Farragut students, alumni, faculty and staff, past and upcoming events, and other important initiatives. In Alexander Wolff’s book, “Big Game, Small World,” the Sports Illustrated journalist travels around the world and discovers how the game of basketball Editor brings people closer. During his journey, he meets an Jeff Ogden ‘00 older man at the YMCA in Tianjin, China by the name of Bai Jinshen. When I read the prologue of the book Jessica Van Curen that details Wolff’s conversations with Bai, it made me think of Farragut. “A basketball is like the earth,” Bai Writer tells Wolff. “It spins every day. And because it spins, Chris Girandola it must develop. And for it to develop, those of us involved with the game must think forward -- think progressively. A basketball also has eight slices. Four slices belong to yin and Contributors four slices belong to yang. We call the yang side hardware. Hardware includes Karen Bacon body strength, skills, psychology, and teamwork. We call the yin side software. Robert J. Fine, Jr. Software includes coaching, development of young players, support staff, and education.” Alison Lescarbeau Shelby Thompson In this issue of Reveille, we discuss the global community of Farragut. We are an institution of different communities and different cultures coming together from all parts of the country and the world -- in the 2014-15 academic year, Design 28 countries to be exact.
