It is an honor to serve as the Dean of Sussex Academy Middle School. I’m excited to be part of a community that not only values academic excellence but also prioritizes developing confident, compassionate, and capable student leaders.

 

At Sussex Academy, we believe middle school is a time for discovery—of self, of interests and of potential. Our dedicated staff work to ensure every student is challenged academically, supported emotionally and encouraged to grow as a leader in their own way. Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, in clubs or through service opportunities, students are empowered to take initiative, build strong character and contribute meaningfully to their school and community.

 

In our small school setting, every child is known, valued and inspired to lead with integrity and purpose. I look forward to working with our students and families to help each learner thrive, and I’m excited for all that lies ahead this school year.

 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out—I look forward to partnering with you!
