There are so many ways that Lawrence Academy has an impact on a young person’s life and in the world. This Academy Journal documents this growing work of the year: accomplishments to celebrate, experiences to highlight, and exciting things to come. The net story in these pages is one of a school rooted in a clear sense of itself, its grounding, and its purpose. This is the journal of a community distinctly on mission.

To capture the essence and expression of the way our mission meets the world, the cover photo, article, and history of LA at the Fringe Festival provide wonderful illustration. And this is just one of the many expressions of the way Lawrence Academy meets the world in the act of learning. Academic exploration, athletic endeavor, Winterim, and alumni stories provide similar illumination. But as for Fringe…

After my first year at Lawrence Academy (in the summer of 2013), I was fortunate to be able to follow our students and faculty to the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. The article in these pages provides more detail on how Fringe things work, but here is the core memory I have carried from that trip:

that passed that learning to others. Following those two students inspired me and focused me early in my time leading and learning the school. It introduced me to something characteristic of LA: seeing the world as a studio, field, or laboratory in which to experiment, grow, and mature.

When I visited our students at Fringe again this year — over a decade and one pandemic later — the same energy was apparent, but what I noticed this time was the strong sense of cohesion that developed amongst the students participating in the trip. They were a team: concerned with each other’s well-being, health, fitness, capacity, talent. Most of all, they were showing up and supporting each other as people. They cared for each other, and the performances were not just performances — they were expressions of shared human spirit.

We had just arrived, and the first thing we did was tag along with two students who had already explored some of the performances and venues at the festival. The shows were stimulating, but what I really remember was the energy and curiosity the students were able to harness and direct throughout that day all across that great field of creativity that is the Fringe.

They were truly owning the experience — taking responsibility for themselves and what they learned in a way

There is nothing more beautiful than wholly immersing yourself in the experience of becoming the fullest expression of yourself. In the sense of our mission, the fully recognized “you for who you are” becomes the actor who can appreciate, welcome, and embrace others. We strive to create such a sense of embodied belonging every day at LA. It is an art and a science and a teaching. It shows up in dance, in school, and in life.

As a final and important note, we are so grateful to all the faculty members who have made this possible over time — with an extra helping of gratitude for Brian Feigenbaum

P’09, ’12, who has been doing this on the floor, at the Fringe, and in the field over four decades at LA. His example of extending the mission in, to, and through all parts is one that future generations will surely sense and surely follow.

They were a team: concerned with each other’s well-being, health, fitness, capacity, talent. Most of all, they were showing up and supporting each other as people. They cared for each other, and the performances were not just performances — they were expressions of shared human spirit.

“Keep in touch!”

The sunny music of Boston Brass matched the spring day perfectly as the Schoolhouse bell tolled and the faculty and guest speaker led Lawrence Academy’s Class of 2024 from the rotunda to the cool shade of the graduation tent. Welcoming the seniors to their last formal gathering as a class, Head of School Dan Scheibe offered parting words of advice: “The simplest advice to our seniors is just enjoy the reveal — the moment when you walk out of this space into something much bigger.”

After thanking retiring faculty members Rob and Laura Moore — who, he noted, “have dedicated a cumulative 82 years of their lives to this school” — Dan introduced two seniors, Class President Serena Chang and Maddie Gibson. Maddie presented the guest speaker: Dr. Hise Gibson, an LA trustee — and Maddie’s dad — who retired as a distinguished U.S. Army colonel in 2021, after a 25-year career, and is now a professor at Harvard Business School.

“My dad has not read this, so you get to enjoy his naked reactions to what I’m about to talk about,” Maddie told the audience at the start of her remarks. “Growing up, he always supported and encouraged me to get used to doing the hard things early … That lesson carried me through my life at LA.”

Dr. Gibson greeted the Class of ’24 with a smile. “Just focus on me for the next seven minutes,” he told them, “and if you don’t remember anything, there’s one thing I need you to be with me on right here: Keep in touch, okay?” He had the seniors repeat the phrase several times during his speech.

The first time he went to war “was hard,” Dr. Gibson shared, “but it taught me that resilience is the key to overcoming difficult situations. It’s not just about getting through tough times, it’s about how you recover from mistakes.” He urged the graduates to take charge of their lives and focus on the things they can manage,

because “while you can’t control every situation,” he said, “you can always control how you respond to the situation.”

Dr. Gibson also had a message for the seniors’ parents, reminding them, “We’ve done all that we can do. We’ve done the absolute best we can to prepare them for the world. We must now all embrace this change and let it propel us towards personal growth.”

“Remember that home is not a physical place,” he told the seniors in conclusion. “It’s a feeling … that you carry with you.

The battered white Crocs that Mako Muvirimi ’24 wore when he mounted the podium to address his classmates had served him well since he entered Lawrence as a freshman. “As Myra in the dining hall always likes to remind me, they’re full of blemishes,” he said with a smile. “But, I mean, each blemish stores a memory of my past four years here with you all.” Just as Mako’s Crocs survived high school, he pointed out, “you’ve survived it, too.”

“Today is more than a congratulations,” he continued. “It’s an acknowledgement — an acknowledgement of how, four years ago, we were all six feet apart underneath those four tents. And here we are today, closer than ever, gathered under one.

You can create home wherever you are … by building relationships, staying true to your values, and by staying in touch — with friends and colleagues, your former teachers, your parents, and, above all, yourself.

“Tune in to your mental and physical well-being and have a positive outlook on the future, to use your talents and resilience, to navigate life’s challenges, and to pursue your dreams,” Dr. Gibson said. “Your potential is limitless!”

“I used to feel apart myself — not in distance, but in identity,” Mako shared. “I was born in Zimbabwe, and my parents immigrated here to the U.S. when I was three. All we brought with us was faith that things would go our way. My parents were always working to build a future for us. And whilst my parents were gone, I was doing stuff such as teaching myself English and taking care of my sister as she grew up.

“You see, growing up, I was so caught up in getting caught up that I left so many things behind. I always felt I didn’t belong,” he added. “However, I can say for certain what I’ve known and felt these past four years: As a Spartan, I’ve known belonging … and I’ve felt myself becoming — becoming confident, becoming a proud first-generation American and Black man, becoming the type of man I hope my little sister can look up to.

“You see, even though my Crocs fit me, I’ve outgrown them,” Mako said. “I’ve outgrown LA. Bittersweet as that is, we all have …

Hopefully LA gave you the same sense of belonging it gave me, because belonging gave me the permission to discover and embrace the person I’ve become and I’m still becoming.”

From behind the podium, Mako produced a shoe box and, to the raucous delight of his classmates, took off his ancient Crocs and put on a brand-new pair. “Don’t worry, though,” he explained, “because they’re still the same style, same color, because I’m still planning on being me. Just as I hope all of you plan to go on and be you. It’s time for all of us to begin our next steps as we move forward in our lives. Love you, Class of ’24, and best wishes.”

“Our time at Lawrence Academy has been filled with growth, challenges, and unforgettable memories,” began Rahma Wario Doyo ’24, the second senior graduation speaker. “We all have had unique dreams that have shaped who we are. And today we celebrate those dreams and the journey we have shared.”

For Rahma, whose journey began in Kenya, “dreams have always been way beyond the limitations imposed by tradition and circumstance. Growing up, my destiny seemed pre-determined: at the age of 12, female genital mutilation — FGM — and becoming a child bride. FGM practice, rooted in cultural tradition, was seen as a rite of passage and a way to ensure girls’ marriageability,” but good fortune, courage, and her own dreams spared Rahma that fate. “As the only girl from my hometown to apply and be accepted at M-PESA Foundation Academy in Nairobi, I dreamed to stay in school and become an entrepreneur,” she shared. Convincing her father to allow her to continue her education was “a battle, but I won it!” she said with a big smile.

The restrictions of her culture, Rahma noted, allowed her to realize one important dream: “It injected a fire in me to make a change,” she shared, further explaining, “This fire came from seeing friends my age get married and have kids. When I was in tenth grade, I started ’Say no to FGM,’ a community initiated in partnership with Kabale Foundation to help girls in my community see a brighter future. Our meetings and an awareness campaign began to make a difference. Since its inception, our program has helped over a hundred girls avoid FGM and provide educational resources and support.”

Coming to Lawrence Academy was “another turning point” in Rahma’s life, she said: “Here, I found a platform, a place to share my stories and raise awareness about FGM. In my honors writing class, I wrote about my experience, and my peers supported my risk-taking, inspiring me to continue making my dream a reality for myself and for other girls like me. I will say that for you all, who want to make your dreams come true, it’s about seeking inspiration, having mentorship like my mom, and, most importantly, moving out of your comfort zone to make what you want a reality …

“As we move forward into the next chapter of our lives, let’s continue to dream boldly,” Rahma urged her classmates in conclusion. “Our journey ahead of us is filled with endless possibilities, and with the foundation we have built here at Lawrence Academy, I know we can achieve them. Let’s make our dream a reality.”

Thank you to our Parents, Grandparents, and Special Friends!

Spring Social

On May 4, the parent community came together to celebrate the season at the annual Spring Social. The event is a staple of the LA parent experience, and we are grateful to our community for their continued support and enthusiasm for the school.

This year’s theme was A School with a View, and the event was open to all current parents and those with newly enrolled students. In lieu of an auction, there were two raffle items that were in high demand: a foursome of golf at TPC Boston, donated by Vic and Gwen Khanna (Nikki ’27), and dinner for 20 hosted at Park House by Head of School Dan Scheibe and Annie Montesano P’23 and prepared by Top Chef Amateur winner Gina Mustoe. Proceeds from ticket sales supported the LA Fund.

Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Day

On May 8, grandparents and special friends gathered on campus to spend the day with their students. Everyone in attendance was full of smiles and truly enjoyed this beloved school tradition, despite a chilly and rainy New England “spring” day. During a short program under the tent, the attendees heard from Head of School Dan Scheibe, as well as from Jake Fahey ’26 and his grandfather, Mr. Peter Napoli (also the grandfather of Sophia ’25), who delivered a special message. During his remarks, Mr. Napoli spoke of his dedication to his grandchildren’s experience at LA and shared why he supports the school. After a brief visit to classes, everyone returned to the tent for lunch and poetry readings by Lucy White ’26 and Tracy Liu ’27

We look forward to another great year of collaboration with the LAPA Executive Committee and the individual committee chairs, whose continued dedication and commitment to LA have strengthened the bonds within our school community.

Get to Know LA Science Teacher Victoria Mecouris Robotics program leader shares her passion with a new generation

by Caitlin O’Brien P’26

For as long as she can remember, Lawrence Academy science teacher Victoria Mercouris has been interested in robotics. As a Girl Scout, the Bayport, N.Y., native completed her Gold Award — the highest achievement within the organization — by starting a robotics club at her high school, and she joined robotics teams and mentored younger students throughout her middle school, high school, and college years.

Inspired by her own experiences, Victoria knew she wanted to share her passion for robotics and science and how they relate to the world with as many students as possible. She earned a bachelor’s degree in robotics engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Western Governors University.

“I love solving puzzles, and robotics is one giant puzzle that you can solve creatively.”

“I love solving puzzles, and robotics is one giant puzzle that you can solve creatively,” says Victoria, who taught science, robotics, and computer science at the Isodore Newman School in New Orleans, La., for four years before joining LA in 2023. “There is no wrong answer, and there are 100 ways to get the right answer. It is more creative than other sciences, and it is all about the team.”

Last school year, Victoria ran Lawrence’s robotics program as a one-season afternoon activity. Nine students participated, and the team earned the fourth seed in qualifying matches and made it to the semifinals at the Bbots Bonanza tournament in Brookline, Mass. This school year, she will lead the robotics program during two semesters, as an ’A’ sport because the team meets and competes six days a week. Students can participate in either or both sessions.

Widely viewed as a “sport for the mind,” robotics provides opportunities for students to do much more than simply build and program robots. They work together while learning how to make presentations, market their team in person and on social media, network with adults and students from other organizations, and creatively solve problems.

Victoria hopes LA’s robotics program continues to grow, and that the school can ultimately be an event site for scrimmages and meets. “Robotics is for everyone. Anyone can learn, and everyone can contribute,” she says. “It’s not just about STEM. Robotics represents the intersection of art, design, and technology, and we need designers, communicators, and writers to make it all work.”

Campus Life

A mindset and a vision that define the student experience

This year, Lawrence Academy introduced the Office of Student Life, Equity, and Campus Life, known simply as “Campus Life.” This newly established office embodies the school’s commitment to providing a dynamic and inclusive student experience: It combines student life, student activities, community engagement, residential life, and equity and belonging initiatives, all aimed at fostering a vibrant and supportive environment for every student.

Campus life is more than an office, however; it represents a mindset and a vision that define the student experience. It captures the rhythms and heartbeats of the school: weekend activities, time-honored traditions, and living and learning together on LA’s beautiful campus. For students, campus life encompasses not only events and facilities, but also the activities they engage in, the dorms they call home, the teams they join, and the stages where they showcase their talents. It’s about seizing every opportunity, forming connections in unexpected places, and leaving the campus better than they found it.

Izzy Prudente ’25 and Kavan Daftary ’25 exemplify this ethos of campus life. For both students, campus life is their way of life.

“It’s not a home away from home; it’s just home,” says Kavan, a boarding student from Newton, Mass., who is deeply involved in campus life. “Every first day is special. I love that first walk back onto the Quad. I can’t help but smile.”

Kavan plays varsity football, is the incoming captain of the varsity boys’ tennis team, serves as a Spartan Leader in the residential program, gives tours to prospective students and families, and holds the position of Student Cabinet vice

“Part of being a Spartan is the people around you and the support systems you form.”

- Kavan Daftary ’25

president. Last school year, he received the Proctor Award and was named an ISL Changemaker, a recognition given to student-athletes with the potential to positively influence their team’s culture.

Kavan attributes Lawrence’s significance in his life to the people he’s met and the relationships he’s built. “Part of being a Spartan is the people around you and the support systems you form,” he says. “You find people that are going to last you a lifetime.” Kavan cherishes the memories he’s made across campus, noting, “I can’t imagine a better place to live for four years. Now, as a senior, I walk through buildings and see a good memory there. There are a million memories everywhere.”

For Izzy, it’s the sense of community that draws her to campus daily. “The relationships I have with my peers and teachers are incredibly rewarding,” says the day student from Acton, Mass., who actively participates in all three annual theater productions, leads the school’s Concordia space for women, serves as a Spartan Leader and tour guide, and plays varsity softball. She also serves on the Faculty-Student Senate, teaches English through the Panda Pals club, and has performed with the Lawrencian Chorale at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Despite the commute, Izzy often stays on campus late for study hours and returns to participate in weekend activities.

“I love being on campus on the weekends. The school makes it easy for me to stay. When you care about the people around you and want to spend time here, it makes you want to come back,” Izzy says, adding that she hopes her experience encourages others to embrace campus life fully. “Looking back on my first year, I wish I had spent more time on campus,” she admits.

“The relationships I have with my peers and teachers are incredibly rewarding.”

- Izzy Prudente ’25

Both Kavan and Izzy applied to Lawrence Academy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges of touring and visiting during that period, they felt a strong sense of connection and belonging that continues to define their experiences today. “The welcome I received and the sense of community were overwhelming. It just felt like a place I wanted to be,” Izzy recalls. Kavan, meanwhile, remembers walking onto the Quad and seeing “every student wearing Lawrence Academy gear, talking to each other. I didn’t see anyone walking alone. I was struck by the powerful sense of community.”

As they begin their senior year, Izzy and Kavan recognize there is a bittersweet transition ahead. “I’m not ready to go yet. I’m going to miss this place so much,” Izzy admits. “But I’m not scared; I’m ready. This place prepared me well.” While she could leave knowing how much she’s accomplished, Izzy isn’t done yet: “I want to connect with more people outside of my circle. I want to continue to have the important and difficult conversations that will make this place better. And I want to stay in Spoon Hunt for more than a day,” she shares.

Kavan urges others to fully appreciate their time on campus. “Every single year that passes you think, ’I’ve got time’ — but you don’t. It goes quick. Sometimes you get so caught up in your day-to-day lives, you don’t step back to appreciate the place for what it is,” he reflects.

“I’ll never be able to say goodbye,” Kavan says. “When I graduate, it’s ’see you later.’”

LA Dancer Reflects

on Performing at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival

By Maggie Donahue ’26

Before I talk about Edinburgh, Scotland, let’s start in the fall of 2022, my ninth-grade year. Once I joined the dance program at Lawrence Academy and began working with Brian Feigenbaum, I learned to express myself in different ways and in different movements. I learned my style as those around me found theirs.

On the trip to the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, we worked hard to create a piece that emphasized our individual personalities and how we could easily intertwine them through our motions. Together we appreciate each other’s individuality and encourage each other to become more in touch with ourselves and the pieces we create. The piece we created was called “Sense” and was inspired by how we, the dancers, interpret our senses.

At the Fringe Festival, I saw the most incredible performances — ones with a deep meaning and others that were simply made for you to laugh. We saw people balancing two others on their

Morgan Soule and Ronnie Fortune

shoulders, which I still can’t comprehend. Each performance was memorable in its own way; sometimes, we would watch an impactful piece. For example, there was a performance we saw describing through dance the stages and difficulties of being in a relationship. This doesn’t sound too exciting, but even though there were no words, each movement expressed a line of a story and a feeling, and that’s what made it special. That’s what inspired me to dance.

Walking around together in the streets of Edinburgh, the performances, rehearsals, and shows — I won’t forget any of it. That being said, what made this trip was the people. I’m so glad that each one of us was there, because I can’t imagine that trip with anyone other than Brian Feigenbaum P’09, ’12, Dina Mordeno P’18, ’20, Veronica Fortune ’26, Sally Hu ’25, Bella Levin ’25, Morgan Soule ’25, and Emma Zuo ’25. They made this trip all the more memorable and fun. Never in my life would I have imagined going to Scotland, performing at the Fringe Festival, and spending every day with each of these amazing people, but I did, and I am so grateful for every moment of it.

“I am so grateful for every moment of it.”

Girls’ Track and Field Breaks Seven School Records in Memorable Season

By Caitlin O’Brien P’26

From the very start of the season, Lawrence Academy’s 20232024 girls’ track and field team approached each practice with a competitors’ mindset that translated seamlessly on meet days. Knowing how competitive and deep the ISL is in track and field, their goal was always to compete, improve, and be successful at the New England Championships. Head Coach Nate Gartner told the team at the beginning of the season that they could “do something special,” he remembers, “and they stepped up and answered the challenge. They were patient, supportive, and pushed each other from the beginning, building a solid foundation for the future of the program.”

“For them, a personal record was the standard, a school record was the intention, and team success was the ultimate goal,” adds Coach Bobby Gilmore. “With a wonderful team culture established by our veterans and reinforced by hungry up-andcomers, the LA girls’ track program has set an incredible standard of achievement, camaraderie, and joy for future teams to aspire to.”

Out of the 17 track and field events the girls participated in this season, the team broke seven school records: high jump (Kaelyn Powell ’26), 100-meter hurdles (also Powell), triple jump (Nicki Key ’24), 400-meter dash (Nuala Gibbs ’26), 3,000-meter run (Meri Rainford ’25), 4x100-meter relay (Haley Augusta ’26, Gibbs, Powell, Key), and 4x400-meter relay (Harper Donnel ’27, Kate Tarr ’27, Key, Powell). Regarding the record-breaking season, Haley shares, “I couldn’t be happier to have my name on the wall with these girls. Success is amazing, but it’s ten times better with your friends.”

“The team did an incredible job making a name for themselves with a very small roster,” notes Coach Nicole Murphy. “They have a group of leaders that naturally do the right and hard thing for training and competition.”

As the 2024 track and field season came to a close, it became clear that the girls’ team had much to be proud of. Not only did the athletes break more records than ever before and place third (out of 35 teams) at the New England Championships, but leadership and true friendships developed on and off the track. With nearly 90 percent of the team returning this year, the athletes, coaches, and LA community are all looking forward to the 2025 season.

“Every year I look forward to track season. It is the perfect balance of personal achievement and teamwork. I couldn’t be prouder of the team and the successes we had this past spring!”

Dave Cheney ’88 – The World Is His Oyster

By Caitlin O’Brien P’26

As “far-away neighbors” in Maine, Lawrence Academy trustee Bruce MacNeil ’70; P’04 and Dave Cheney ’88 have known each other for years, although the Johns River physically separated them. Bruce frequently saw Dave working on his aquaculture farm, Johns River Oyster, while he was out on his boat.

Once they established their mutual connection, Bruce and Dave began talking about having LA students visit Johns River Oyster, which Dave founded in 2007. The company grows a mix of bottom- and surface-cultured oysters, which are harvested and distributed throughout Maine and beyond.

In the spring of 2024, LA faculty members Shelby Guinard ’19 and Tony Hawgood P ’25, ’25, ’27 brought their marine science and environmental science classes to meet Dave and

“Visiting the oyster farm and seeing the concepts we discussed in class in a real setting was rewarding. It encouraged me to think about sustainability and how it relates to farming oysters.”

- Mya Lambert ’26

visit the oyster farm. The focus of the field trip was to learn about Johns River Oyster and examine how climate change and issues around sustainability impact the seafood industry. Does oyster farming use too many resources? Does it pollute the water? How resilient is oyster farming to climate change, specifically temperature, acidity, storms, and sea level?

In their post-visit presentation, the students reported that oyster farming is one of the most sustainable forms of aquaculture due to oysters’ ability to filter and improve up to 50 gallons of water per day and create an environment that enhances local biodiversity.

Thank you, Dave, for hosting our students and teaching them about the oyster industry!

Welcome New Lawrence Academy Trustees!

Chris Davey P’10, ’16 returns to Lawrence Academy’s board as a committed and long-term supporter of the school. The successful businessman and his wife, Kirsta, both held leadership roles in the parent giving program, and their family ties to the school remain strong. One daughter, Sara Davey Gillis ’10, works in the admissions office. She and her spouse, Logan Gillis ’09, live on campus with their two children, Boden and Emmy.

Chris’ work for LA continued after Sara and her sister, Margaret ’16, graduated. After serving on the Board of Trustees from 2014 to 2019, he established the role of assistant head of institutional strategy and advancement, where he oversaw admissions and enrollment, communications, and development and spearheaded a transformational giving program, all while leading a student advisory group. Chris supports the greater community by giving his time generously serving on local sports and cultural boards in the Groton area.

A 1983 graduate of Deerfield Academy, Chris earned a B.A in political science from Amherst College, where he played varsity hockey. A founding member of Sapient Corporation, Chris has held senior positions in the organization. Most recently, he served as a board member or in an advisory capacity for technical and financial companies and government organizations.

Jessica Knapp ’99 decided to attend Lawrence Academy mostly for hockey, but she found so much more on campus. She credits the school with preparing her academically for college and beyond and says her time as a boarding student at Lawrence taught her how to learn.

Jessica is now a co-managing principal of Perkins Eastman-Boston, supervising staff and directing marketing and business development. The firm provides architecture, interior design, planning, and strategic consulting services. Having worked for more than 20 years in the architecture industry, she has held various positions and focused on many practice areas, from academics to housing. She is keenly interested in the intersection of sustainability and operational costs and is part of the Futures Council for the international enterprise.

After graduating from LA, Jessica played Division I hockey at St. Lawrence University, where she earned a B.A in English writing with minors in education and economics. She then received an MBA from Boston University. Jessica now lives in Massachusetts and continues to support Lawrence Academy. Hockey and education remain essential parts of her life: She was a volunteer girls’ hockey coach at Wellesley High School and for the Boch Blazers, Boston’s premier girls’ youth hockey development program. She also volunteers for YouthBuild, Heading Home, and Horizons for Homeless Children.

Since graduation, Chuck O’Boyle ’82 has remained involved with Lawrence Academy and has become professionally active in education. A consistent donor, he was a class agent and is a regular visitor at reunions and leadership donor events. From 2008 to 2010, Chuck was a member of the LA Board of Visitors. He is a trustee of the Chi Psi Educational Trust.

Chuck understands how schools operate and function at the highest level and has a network and access to talent that will benefit Lawrence during future searches for administrators. How LA is evolving its curriculum and preparing its students for college and beyond is one of his major interests.

Chuck’s professional experience in education recruitment will also benefit the school’s growth. He is the founder, owner, and managing partner of an executive search firm focused on the independent high school, college, and university market. He has also been associated with the American Council on Education’s Executive Search Roundtable since 2001. A cum laude graduate of Amherst College with a B.A. in history, Chuck earned his J.D. at the University of Michigan Law School. His husband, Richard Rambuss, is the chair of the English department at Brown University.

With a goal of honoring the philanthropic legacy of his wife, Dara Frigoletto ’83, after her death in 2023, Peter DeFeo is determined to become a “robust funder with involvement” at Lawrence Academy, the school that meant so much to Dara and her family. The Frigoletto family supports LA through funding for the Alba Frigoletto Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Frigoletto Family Health Center, and the Community Commons project.

In addition to assisting Dara’s alma mater, Peter has made furthering medical research and care a priority. His initial gift established the Dara Frigoletto Ovarian Cancer Research Fund at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Another fund, the Dara Frigoletto Post-Graduate Education Nursing Scholarship Fund at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, has been endowed and will award five annual scholarships to BWH nurses seeking post-graduate studies in master’s and doctorate nursing programs.

Peter has deep knowledge of and extensive professional experience in legal, healthcare, and financial matters. The Harvard Law School graduate is the co-founder and former chief development officer and chief legal officer of VetCor, one of the preeminent veterinary practice acquisition and operating companies in North America, where he now advises the current CEO, CLO, and senior management team. He also worked as in-house counsel for several companies in the energy and environmental fields, and began his career as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at several Boston law firms, including Goodwin Procter.

“Lawrence is the place where I became me”

By Anne O’Connor ’78

Most people mature and come into their own during college, but David Betses ’74’s journey began at a younger age. “Lawrence is the place where I became me. My character developed at LA,” he says.

David and his wife, Jean, are thoroughly impressed with the direction Lawrence Academy is taking under the leadership of Head of School Dan Scheibe. “It would be a great time to be at LA now, I think, based on his leadership,” David says.

When Jean first attended a reunion with David, she instantly fell in love with Lawrence’s students. She saw that faculty cared for them and noticed how the relationships between students and faculty gave the teens sophisticated ways of communicating with people who are older than them. “They can write. They can talk. They’re just a joy to be around,” Jean says, adding that the new Community Commons building, which will integrate the dining hall and student center and bring students together, is just what bright, smart kids who can get lost in their desire to succeed need.

Jean also loves LA’s work with students who learn differently. “For someone who lived it, that means everything,” she says, explaining that she was in her junior year at Vassar College before someone put a name to her learning differences. “You can’t imagine the weight that lifted. I’m so glad to hear that the kids are going to get support,” she adds.

David and Jean are excited to support LA. Jean sees a campus that values the diversity and the specialness of its strong, interesting students, while David sees a school where students are excelling. “Spending time with the students is LA’s best advertisement,” David says.

“In just every way,” he adds, “we feel comfortable supporting LA.”

Jean sees a campus that values the diversity and the specialness of its strong, interesting students, while David sees a school where students are excelling.

Lawrence Academy: A place to find your people and yourself

By Anne O’Connor ’78

When Liz Harrison ’82 sets her mind on something, it happens. More than twenty-five years ago, her public relations company, Harrison & Shriftman, started out with the luxury fashion house Jimmy Choo and the luxury automotive brand Mercedes-Benz as some of its first clients. Now, H&S works with a prestigious list of international clients, and Liz — who goes by Elizabeth professionally — was named one of PRNews’ Top Women Change-Makers in 2021. As the company’s owner and co-founder, she takes pride in her diverse workforce.

“LA put me on the

path for success.”

Liz’s time at Lawrence Academy was a perfect mix of mischief, fun, and academics, under the watchful eyes of teachers who knew she was smart and thoughtful and never gave up on her. “I run a successful business … but I was not a good student,” she admits, adding that “the saving grace for me at Lawrence was Lawrence II.”

As part of the experiential program, Liz worked with abused kids, at a reform school, at an early childhood development center, and at a suicide hotline, where she learned to be entrepreneurial and relate to a wide range of people. LA, Liz says, “put me on the path for success.”

After Lawrence, Liz graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, then worked and traveled solo all over the world. She made contacts in fashion through her family and in production through post-college jobs with magazines and producing press events and parties for movies including the 1994 blockbuster Forrest Gump. Along the way, fellow LA alumnus Brock Wyland ’80 introduced Liz to Lara Shriftman, her H&S co-founder. Their entrepreneurship and good connections paid off: With no money, no backing, and no business degrees — but a lot of tenacity — the company grew exponentially. The partners sold H&S to the international marketing and sales agency Omnicom in 2004, but Liz purchased it back in 2020.

Liz is married to a real estate developer and has two daughters in their twenties. She continues to travel for work and pleasure and looks back at her time at LA with joy. “Some of my closest friends are still from LA,” she notes, “and I think that’s kind of special.”

REUNION 2024

By Caitlin O’Brien P’26

On June 7-8, Lawrence Academy welcomed more than 200 alumni and their guests to campus for Reunion. This year’s celebration was “officially” for classes ending in 4s and 9s, but alumni from across the generations found their way to the Quad to reminisce, reengage, and say farewell to Rob and Laura Moore P’04, ’06, ’09 after their 41 years of teaching and service to LA.

On Friday evening, members of the Class of 1974, along with other golden alumni and their guests, enjoyed each other’s company as they celebrated their 50th reunion. Nearly 70 guests were in attendance, including former faculty David Smith ’65; P’81, ’87, ’95; Joe and Tanya Sheppard P’93, ’94; Pete Hazzard P’91, ’98, ’01, ’01, ’03; and Bob Campolieto P’89, ’93; GP’16, ’19. Just down the hill at Peabody House, Frank and Donna Mastrangelo P’15, ’18 hosted young alumni for a

more casual gathering with pizza, beer, and wings. This event was also very popular with current faculty, who enjoyed catching up with former students.

Many more alumni joined the festivities on Saturday, which began with the annual Tom Warner ’75 Memorial 5K Walk/Run, followed by student-led campus tours and a “walkabout” with Head of School Dan Scheibe P’23. During lunch on the Quad, the Moores were honored for their careers, and Rob received the Alumni Faculty Appreciation Award. After lunch, Dan led a presentation on the state of the school and a remembrance ceremony in the memorial garden. Additionally, four new members — Bill Coke ’74, Grace Moore Lee ’04, Joe Williams ’84, and the 2001 varsity football team — joined LA’s Athletic Hall of Fame.

Reunion dinner under the tent capped off the weekend. Alumni ate, danced, and celebrated well into the evening.

Amos Lawrence Award Recipient: Rich Johnson ’74

The Amos Lawrence Award was established in 2004 to acknowledge and honor alumni for their outstanding volunteer service to Lawrence Academy. This award recognizes loyalty, service, and commitment to the school’s mission.

Rich attended Lawrence Academy from 1971 to 1974 and has been an active and engaged member of the alumni community since his graduation. After helping establish the Thomas B. Warner ’75 Scholarship Fund, he became a key organizer for the annual run/walk during Reunion in Tom’s name. Rich also helps organize and host the LA Athletic Hall of Fame and has served as a Reunion ambassador for years.

Rich’s meaningful service to the LA community has left an indelible mark, and this award is a testament to his outstanding contributions. We are immensely grateful for his unwavering dedication and the positive impact he has made at Lawrence Academy and beyond.

HALL OF FAME CEREMONY

Alumni Faculty Appreciation Award

LA Trustee Rick Tyson ’87 presented the Alumni Appreciation Award to Rob Moore, twelve years after the award was given to Laura Moore, noting in his remarks that “many of us who have been so fortunate to be near you, Rob, are connected by the thread of your caring, your compassion, and your friendship.”

Rick continued: “I’ve worn a number of hats here at Lawrence Academy: student, graduate, Alumni Council Member, and, currently, member of the Board of Trustees. Lawrence Academy is special to me, but it takes second place in my heart, just behind Rob and Laura Moore.

“Out of all of these capacities, the one that makes me feel the warmest on the inside is being a member of Mr. Moore’s FIRST advisee class, founded upon Rob’s and my arrivals in 1984, when I was a freshman and Rob had recently arrived as a Spanish teacher, a dorm parent (in Spaulding, God help you), a soccer coach, and, yes, thankfully, my advisor.

talk about current events happening around school that perhaps we didn’t quite understand. Maybe one of us would hang back to talk to Rob about what might be difficult at the moment, what might have been happening at home, what might have been keeping us awake at night. Rob listened. He guided us.

“Rob, we don’t have enough time today for me to share how much you mean to me, that all these years since I shook hands with you in line at graduation, I think about you and Laura often.

“Without you in the role of advisor, coach, and always a friend, for me, especially during that time of my life, I would not be standing here in front of you serving in my leadership role with LA today. I’m not sure if it would have all worked out without you.

“I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, and it is my honor and my pleasure to present you the Alumni Faculty Appreciation Award as the sun sets on your remarkable career at LA.”

“Advisee meetings began early before classes three days a week. Being brand new to LA, Rob was awarded an advisee group of all boys. Was this Ben Williams’ idea of hazing the new guy? We were all good kids, but getting teenage boys to share anything of substance, not to mention at 7:30 a.m., is not for the faint of heart.

“That said, Rob kept an eye on us. We would hash out what’s going on in our classes; where did we need help? We would

Established in 1997 by Suzanne Schiller Loonie ’88 and voted on by the alumni, the Alumni Faculty Appreciation Award is given annually at Reunion to a current or past faculty member for his or her commitment and dedication to the students of Lawrence Academy. LA alumni are asked to submit their nominations throughout the year, and the highest cumulative vote recipients are presented to the head of school for final determination of the recipient.

A Great Year for Reunion Fundraising

2024 Reunion classes came together to raise money for a new student activities van, which will transport the LA community to and from after-school activities, games, and weekend trips. Reunion classes contributed more than $80,000, surpassing our goal by 13 percent. Thank you to our 2024 Reunion alumni!

1963

Mark Staples ’63 has published a new book, Neighbors Revisited: A church journalist’s life lessons learned from people of other cultures. He tells us, “In a nutshell, my book details life lessons learned from people of other cultures as I traveled on assignment as a church journalist to South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Zimbabwe and Papua New Guinea were emerging democracies at the time. The people I met along the way really impacted my worldview. I wanted very much, in today’s rising climate of hatred, to humanize and write about people who don’t look like me, people who had so much to contribute. The book, filled with rich photographs, contains allusions of value to our time as well as a study guide with questions to reflect upon. It is available both as an e-book and in paperback on Amazon.”

OBITUARIES

Jonathan Alexander ’60 of Marblehead, Mass., passed away suddenly of congestive heart failure on Aug. 6, 2024, at MetroWest Medical Center in Framingham.

Jon attended Cornell University after graduation from Lawrence and spent most of his professional life as a systems analyst and manager at NCR Corporation. After his retirement, Jon remained a “computer geek,” and for the balance of his life, family and friends sought his advice and help on all things computer, from make, model, and price to troubleshooting. He saved several people from sure technical disasters!

Jon loved to swim at Preston Beach near his home. For many years, he served the community as a board member, parking lot supervisor, and treasurer for the Clifton Improvement Association, whose mission it is to preserve and improve Preston Beach, Beach Bluff Park, and other natural open spaces in the community.

Jon’s LA classmate and close friend Buck Davis wrote about him: “Jon was the first classmate I met when I arrived at LA. We were having an orientation of sorts in the gym at the Gray Building. Despite our differences politically, I consider Jon to be my dearest old friend. I will certainly not soon forget him and his wonderful sense of humor. My funniest memories include watching him march onto the football field with this huge drum on his chest and, with the rest of the band, cheering us on in a game against Thayer Academy. God bless you, Jon. Rest in peace my friend.”

Jon was predeceased by his two siblings — Gustav Alexander and Cecily Grable — and leaves his wife, Jill (Pennucci) Alexander; his son, Jonathan P. Alexander, and daughter-inlaw, Janinne; two grandchildren, Gavin and Ethan; a nephew, a niece, and their families; and cousins.

Vincent “Jeff” Webb ’66, a decorated and patriotic veteran, died peacefully at home on May 12, 2024. After serving in the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment in Vietnam, where he was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his service, Jeff earner a bachelor’s degree from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. He and his wife Marjorie (Harrison) were married in 1974 and settled in Greenwich, Conn., where Jeff held positions at several companies before finding a niche in real estate development.

A new chapter of Jeff’s life began in 2006, when he married Lynda Montgomery. At home in Wilton, Conn., he retired and devoted time to his passions for horticulture, marksmanship at the Weston Gun Club, and shared travel adventures with Lynda.

He was a member of Weston Gun Club and had been a member of the Campfire Club of America and the Round Hill Club. Jeff will be remembered for his steadfast kindness and unwavering integrity.

In addition to his wife, Jeff is survived by three children, a sister, a son-in-law, and twelve grandchildren. One sister predeceased him.

Andrew Douglas ’82 of Portsmouth, R.I., died on Aug. 1, 2024, at the age of 61. Andrew courageously battled ALS, exhibiting remarkable strength and resilience that served as an inspiration to those close to him. Andrew was a cherished, kind, humorous, and loving husband, father, brother, and friend. His spirited and cheerful nature touched many lives, leaving a legacy of warmth and positivity.

After Lawrence, Andrew continued his education at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where he earned his BFA. Andrew always had a knack for and strong interest in all things technical and was considered the “go-to” person in the family for any tech issues. His career of 25 years in IT was a perfect fit. He last worked at RDSI in North Kingstown, R.I., where he was highly regarded for his professionalism, dedication, and skill as an IT manager and ISSM. Andrew was also a talented photographer who loved to photograph nature, the ocean, and his family.

Andrew is survived by his wife, Jane; his daughters, Virginia and Sophie; his sister, June Diffenbach, of Concord, Mass.; and his brother Stuart T. Douglas Jr., of Barrington, R.I. He was predeceased by his brothers Robert and Alec Douglas.

Bill McElhaney ’82 of Falmouth, Mass., passed away peacefully on Aug. 2, 2024, after a short illness. He was 60.

Phi fraternity. He graduated from UVM in 1986 with a B.A. in agricultural economics and business management.

After his graduation, Bill held customer service-related roles at Carlson Orchards, Monitor Group, Harvard Realty, Gosnold Treatment Center, and Walpole Woodworkers. He most enjoyed his seventeen-year career as a telecommunications project manager with Monitor Group. At this job, he was able to fulfill one of his many ambitions — to travel the world — installing and administering communication systems in the company’s many international offices. Although he loved to travel, Bill was happiest spending time at home with his dogs and entertaining friends and family.

As an adult, Bill learned woodworking and made beautiful tables, bowls, and plates, which he gave as gifts. He was an avid gardener of perennials in his yard and vegetables in his meticulously handcrafted raised beds. Bill was an exceptional cook; he showcased this talent at gatherings from casual backyard barbecues to elegant holiday parties, which he and his now-deceased husband, Chris, hosted at their home.

In addition to his mother, HelenAnn, Bill is survived by his sister Margaret (Meg) Hartwell, and her husband, Kevin, of Ashland, Mass.; his brother Michael McElhaney, and his wife Susan of Swansea, Mass.; his niece, Jaimie Hartwell, of Boston, Mass.; and his nephews, Nolan, Kyle, and Shane McElhaney, of Swansea.

Tony Voce ’00 passed away suddenly on July 8, 2024, at the age of 43. A three-sport varsity athlete at Lawrence, Tony earned all-league honors in football three times and was named league MVP as a senior. He graduated as the Academy’s all-time leading scorer and rusher and led the football team to an ISL championship in 1998. It is in hockey, however, that Tony made his greatest mark in the LA record books. His four years on the hockey team saw three ISL championships, capped by an undefeated season in 2000. With 206 career points, he remains the all-time leading scorer in Lawrence Academy hockey history, and he holds the same honor in the ISL.

Tony stayed true to form at Boston College, where he was twice named MVP of the hockey team. Six years in the pros followed graduation from BC, as Tony was signed as a free agent by his hometown Philadelphia Flyers. Playing for their AHL minor-league affiliate, the Philadelphia Phantoms, he was one of the team’s top scorers, with 50 goals in two seasons. Stints with other teams followed, and Tony ended his professional career playing for German and Austrian hockey leagues. He was inducted into the Lawrence Academy Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015.

Tony was the loving father to his three daughters, Mia, Raya, and Gianna; the love and life partner of Barb Basile; the step-father to Jason and Josh Player; and an uncle to Palmer Voce and Joey and Gianna Martino. He is also survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Former LA art teacher Horst Dürrschmidt died in Lugano, Switzerland, on Feb. 19, 2022, after a short stay in the hospital. He was 79. Though he taught at Lawrence for only four years, from 1970 to 1974, he quickly won the respect and affection of everyone who knew him. Kind, endlessly creative, and possessed of a lively sense of humor, he did much to lay the foundations of today’s strong arts department.

Horst was born in Germany, though he attended college in the U.S. After four years at LA, he decided it was time to return to Europe. He interviewed in New York with the headmaster of TASIS (The American School in Switzerland) and was offered a job teaching photography.

It was during his time teaching at the Lawrence Academy summer program that Horst first picked up a camera. “They had a nice darkroom and lab,” he remembered. “And they asked me to teach it, even though I knew little about it. The summer school tennis camp children I was teaching taught me to develop and print, and that’s how I learned the basics.”

Horst taught photography at TASIS for 35 years. He inspired generations of students, many of whom went on to careers in photography and design.

Bev Jeffers, widow of longtime faculty member Dick Jeffers, died on July 21, 2024, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. She leaves daughters Kristina Lawler ’84 and Jennifer Delaney ’86, as well as three grandchildren. Bev was a beloved fixture on the LA campus for 40 years, and we will miss her!

Bob Kramer Offers a Community Commons Update

Director of Advancement Beth Crutcher sat down with Bob Kramer, LA’s assistant head for finance and operations, to discuss his work with the Community Commons project. Bob has been with LA for eight years, and in addition to overseeing the school’s financial management and staffing several board committees, he manages the health and wellness program, buildings and grounds, communications, information technology, human resources, and food service. He lives with his wife, Rachel, in Concord, Mass.

Your work is so diverse. Primarily, you have helped ensure the school’s strong financial position, but I’m guessing managing a major building project wasn’t in the job description! In general, how has this experience been for you?

The best part of my time working at LA has been the breadth of my job and how each week brings a new set of challenges. To prepare for the Community Commons project, I’ve shifted some of my responsibilities to our CFO, Kelly Yetter, to allow me to have time for the focus that the project requires. A project of this scale brings together facilities planning, logistics, and financial planning, all while trying to minimize the impact on student experience. I’m looking forward to the work ahead as we plan for a groundbreaking in June 2025.

Can you summarize where we are with the project?

This summer we have been engaged in creating a final package of construction documents by working closely with our architects at Flansburgh, our engineering consultants at RFS, our food service consultants at Crabtree McGrath, and our owner’s project manager at C3. A team of LA folks has been engaged in reviewing the plans and making adjustments so that the design development work can become a reality. Once the construction documents are complete, we will prepare bid packages for submittal to potential construction managers in the fall and hope to choose a partner for construction in early November.

Were there any big surprises or challenges?

The work of the summer has been about the details. Landscaping plans were revised to address accessibility, building envelope plans were tweaked to ensure compliance with the latest environmental codes, the kitchen and servery layout was analyzed again with our food service provider, and temporary dining plans were formed for the 2025-2026 academic year. I wouldn’t call any of this surprising or challenging, but getting the details right is important at this stage.

The community has been so generous financially in support of the Commons. Have you also received any volunteer help?

We’ve been lucky to have an excellent team of professional advisors who have been complemented by a very dedicated group of LA employees. Beyond that, there has been significant engagement from the Board of Trustees and the committees that are focused on the project. We’ve formed a Community Commons Planning Group, which is comprised of members of our buildings and grounds team, Budget Committee, and Development Committee, to oversee the project’s progress and regularly review the project milestones. The trustees involved have extensive backgrounds in finance, construction, legal, and other areas that have been invaluable to the school.

Director of Advancement Beth Crutcher began working at Lawrence Academy in 2022. Prior to joining LA, she held leadership positions in fundraising at Vermont Academy, the American School in London, Princeton University, Princeton HealthCare System, and Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart.

Beth obtained her master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania in organizational dynamics as a mid-career professional and new mother, writing her thesis on the use of positive organizational psychology in fundraising. She has spoken at many professional conferences on themes of affinity giving, stewardship and campaign strategies.

The purpose of the HAC is to engage a small group of alumni, parents, parents of alumni, and trustees to discuss the key challenges and opportunities facing the school (and education in general). We want to share ideas and solutions to ensure that we remain in a strong, forward-facing position as a school. The HAC meets once annually in the spring.

Why I Give

Ann McGuire ’03

As an alumna of Lawrence Academy, I am deeply committed to giving back to the institution that has had such a profound impact on my life. I donate because I believe it’s essential to provide current students with the same opportunities that I was fortunate enough to have. My personal connection to the school is strong, as my mother worked at LA for 27 years and my three brothers, husband, and many close friends are also proud graduates. Through my education and experiences at LA, I not only developed a strong foundation in academics but also gained confidence, an incredible network of other grads, and exposure to different people and cultures. By giving back, I hope to help future generations of students build their own networks and create lasting memories, just as I did.

Why I Give

Liam Healy ’18

I give to Lawrence Academy for a few reasons: First, and most simply, giving back is the right thing to do. I also know that I am not alone in this effort, and I am always excited and motivated by seeing my gift be recognized alongside leaders within LA’s loyal community of supporters. As I reflect on my own time as a Spartan, I continue to appreciate the educational foundation provided to me by the academic program. Whether it was a particularly engaging class, a field trip, or Winterim, LA helped me find joy and personal investment in my learning. Members of the faculty and staff recognized me for who I was and helped to place me on a pathway towards success in college and in the workforce. I view my contribution to the LA Fund as a way of ensuring that other students can benefit from the same opportunities and programming that I had as a student.

2024 Senior Parent Gift

Co-Chairs: Susanna and Richard Gallant P’20, ’24; Devin and Leslie O’Reilly P’24

Lawrence Academy senior parents continue to uphold the tradition of creating their legacy through the Senior Parent Gift, which supports the LA Fund and a capital project that makes a lasting, positive impact on the school.

This year’s capital gift was allocated to the Community Commons Terrace, which will be an addition to the existing MacNeil Lounge.

Under the leadership of Susanna and Richard Gallant (Sarah ’24) and Devin and Leslie O’Reilly (Shea ’24), 73 percent of 2024 senior parents, grandparents, and friends donated $335,000 to the 2024 Senior Parent Gift.

Lawrence Academy is grateful to the Gallant and O’Reilly families, the Senior Parent Gift Committee, and the parents, grandparents, and friends of the Class of 2024 for their exceptional leadership and commitment to the mission and future of the school.

Supporting His Academic Home

Richard Long ’53

By Anne O’Connor ’78

When Richard Long arrived at Lawrence Academy for a post-grad year, the Boston English High School graduate found a world much different than his South Boston home. It was “like going to fairyland,” he recalls. In South Boston, he lived near the beaches at Kelly’s Landing and City Point, but in Groton, students had only a couple of places to go on a free afternoon: the drugstore for a soda or the apple place for some cider.

Even before Richard’s year at Lawrence, where he played football, hockey, and lacrosse, the town of Groton had made an impression on the Boston boy. His football coach at English was Bill Stewart, who attended LA and arranged for English High and Groton School to play football twice while Richard was on the varsity team. “We were bused up from English High. We’re on the grounds of Groton School. We’re in the gym, getting suited up. We could hear the Groton School fans singing their song. That really blew my mind,” Richard remembers. The 1953 English High School yearbook recorded the Boston team “tumbled the gentlemen from the private school by a score of 27-0.”

The LA faculty also played a parental role while Richard was at school. One day, he was supposed to attend a dance, a much-anticipated event for the all-boys’ school, but came down with appendicitis and missed it. When the headmaster called home, Richard’s father said to do whatever the headmaster would for his own child. Richard had his appendix removed at the hospital in Groton.

While at Holy Cross, Richard spent his summers at officer training in Quantico, Va., and after graduation was placed on active duty as a U.S. Marine Corps 2nd lieutenant at Camp Pendleton, Calif. He served in California and overseas, rising to the rank of captain. Richard then attended and graduated from the Boston University School of Law before returning to California. After waiting several months for the results of his bar exam, which the skillful student passed the first time, he began practice with a small firm in Bakersfield. The trial attorney later opened his own firm in that city, trying cases across California and other western states.

At LA, Richard found an academic home where the instructors were dedicated to the students. “Norman Grant, Fred Gray, Arthur Ferguson — they all took a mentoring position. Prior to coming to Lawrence Academy, I had no one looking over me for schoolwork,” Richard says. The study skills he learned at LA served him well when he attended the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. a Jesuit school known for its academic rigor, where he also played football. “What struck me when I was at my first year at Holy Cross, a lot of the entering freshmen flunked out. I knew I had to put in the time to study. It just became automatic,” Richard says.

At LA, Richard found an academic home where the instructors were dedicated to the students. “Norman Grant, Fred Gray, Arthur Ferguson — they all took a mentoring position,” he remembers.

LA remains close to Richard’s heart. He established the Richard M. Long, Esq. ’52 Scholarship Fund in memory of former Headmaster Fred Gray and faculty member and coach Norman Grant. The scholarship is to be awarded to a student in need from South Boston or, if none is found, to a student from San Diego, where Richard now lives, or one chosen by Lawrence Academy.

Parent Volunteers

At LA, we deeply value our families and encourage them to become involved with the community. From events — such as the Fall class dinners, the community holiday party, and the Spring Social — to athletic games, arts events, campus initiatives, and more, there is something for everyone to participate in at the school. Whether on campus or off, these opportunities both strengthen the bond between home and school and enrich the educational experience for all. Another way to become involved with the school is through volunteering for one of our many Parents’ Association committees: Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day, Admissions Ambassadors, Lawrence Academy Mentorship Program (LAMP), LA Fund, and others. Each committee plays a vital role in the school and offers ways to enhance the LA experience.

2023-2024 LAPA Executive Committee

After an extremely successful year, we said goodbye to Lawrence Academy Parents’ Association President Jeana Colangelo (Alex ’25). In addition to leading the Parents’ Association, Jeana selflessly dedicated her time over the past three years as a volunteer for many parent committees, including the LA Fund, the Spring Social, and as an Admissions Ambassador chair. While we will miss Jeana on the LAPA Executive Committee, we know she will remain involved in the school and will continue to support LA in many ways.

Admissions Ambassadors

Admissions Ambassadors assist the LA admissions staff by greeting potential new families, attending Open Houses and receptions, and making phone calls to welcome new parents.

Endowment Funds

The Lawrence Academy Endowment helps to secure the long-term financial sustainability of the school, and the draw on those funds typically provides 6 percent of the school’s annual operating budget. In contrast to the LA Fund, endowment funds are permanently established, and their annual growth provides revenue to LA in perpetuity. Each year, the Lawrence Academy Board of Trustees approves a 4 percent withdrawal against the value of the endowment and directs that money to the school’s operating budget.

With some funds established more than a century ago, we wish to gratefully acknowledge alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends who have created — and continue to support — a lasting legacy honoring their relationship with Lawrence Academy and their deep connections forged here today and throughout the decades. The market values of Lawrence Academy’s endowment funds reflected below are as of June 30, 2024. Each of these funds offers ongoing endowment gift opportunities to support Lawrence Academy with a vision to secure its future.
