From the Dean Message

It is an honor to serve as the Dean of Sussex Academy Middle School. I am excited to be part of a school community that values academic excellence while intentionally developing the next generation of leaders.
 
Middle school is a time of tremendous growth, and we believe it is the perfect opportunity to help students discover their strengths, develop confidence, and build the leadership skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. At Sussex Academy, we are committed to creating an environment where every student is challenged academically, supported socially and emotionally, and encouraged to lead in meaningful ways. Through our classrooms, extracurricular activities, athletics, service opportunities, and our Leader in Me framework, we are intentionally building leaders at the middle school level who are prepared to make a positive impact in their school and community.
 
One of the greatest strengths of Sussex Academy is our close-knit community. Every student is known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. By partnering with our families, we can ensure each student feels supported, challenged, and inspired to grow as both a learner and a leader.
 
I look forward to a wonderful school year and to partnering with our families to support every student's success.
