As a former boarding student, the Pennington School gave me a strong sense of family. My hallmaster, math teacher, guidance counselor, coach all helped guide and encourage me through high school.
-Jane Childrey, Class of 1989,
I remember that humbling feeling of realizing I wasn't quite as smart as I thought I was, yet feeling encouraged and inspired to dig deep and push myself. It made me a better person.
