On Wednesday, The Beech Hill School’s Board of Directors gathered on campus for their fall/winter meeting. The Science Room was reconfigured for the event, and the Board considered a wide variety of topics over the course of several hours. It was exciting to recognize that we have successfully developed and executed so many initiatives in the 3-year Strategic Plan that was approved 18 months ago.
For me, however, the most exciting part of the meeting happened in the opening minutes. For the first time in the School’s history, a graduate of The Beech Hill School was officially elected to The Board of Directors! Wyatt Ellinwood, a graduate of the very first class at BHS joined the board and has ushered in a new generation of leadership. In its first fourteen years, the School has benefitted from exceptional leadership and guidance at The Board level by individuals that care deeply about the present and future of BHS. As one that lived the experience and that will always call BHS his school, Wyatt brings a unique perspective and that is really exciting!
