WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL'S MISSION?
Mount de Sales Academy (established 1876),
an independent Catholic school sponsored
and inspired by the Sisters of Mercy, is a
diverse college-preparatory community of
learners — students and teachers alike — who
are poised to discover, challenged to innovate
and motivated to serve. In carrying out our
mission, we are dedicated to partnering with
parents as they guide their students in the
transformation from childhood to adulthood.
HOW HAVE YOU SHIFTED BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC?
I could not be happier with the adaptability,
agility and flexibility with which Mount de
Sales has responded to the pandemic. Our
technology infrastructure was in place long
before last March, so we were able to offer
students a seamless transition to online learn-
ing. We have been able to act with the same
adaptability as the pandemic has unfolded
and public health guidelines have changed.
As such, we have offered families consistent
in-person learning without interruption.
WHAT WAS THE BEST BUSINESS
ADVICE YOU EVER RECEIVED?
Someone once told me that, as educators,
we are planting seeds for a harvest we may
never see. I find this encouraging, and I am
constantly reminded of the truth of this state-
ment when alumni come back to tell us the
role Mount de Sales played in their success.
