from the Head of School
In the first two weeks of September, I had occasion to speak
with three boys who are participating in a program called
the Eastern Maine Skippers Program, which is designed to
give students experience with various aspects of the maritime
industry, including seamanship. I asked them about a recent
class spent sailing a large schooner from Brooklin into Blue
Hill Harbor. “It was awesome! I mean, it was raining and
wet and choppy, but we had a great time!”
I want to thank you
for your support of
George Stevens Academy, a school I am coming to know
and love, and for which I see a remarkable future. Let me tell
you a few stories that illustrate the sort of place your support
helps create.
A place that nurtures inquisitive minds
On nice days, a number of senior girls have lunch on the
front steps of the Academy House, right outside my office.
One of them is interested in applying Early Decision to
my alma mater, Dartmouth College, and she wanted to
talk with me about it. I was impressed with her focus, selfawareness, and openness to what I had to say. She had good
questions prepared, and engaged me in real conversation.
She was not looking for confirmation of something she had
already decided; she had a genuine interest and curiosity.
Whatever her college choice ends up being, she has been well
trained as a thinker here.
A place to explore possibilities
One of the noteworthy programs at GSA is the Independent
Study and Internship Program. It allows students time to
pursue an interest in depth. We are just getting started
this year—students are thinking of what they want to do,
seeking advisors and off campus mentors, and crafting their
proposals. One of our teachers sent me an email the other
day about the proposal of a girl who had gone on a trip with
her to Belize last year. The young lady wants to return there,
to help the Rotary Club donate wheelchairs to hospitals, and
learn about needs in developing countries.
A place with top academics for all learners
I was going through the checkout line at TradeWinds, and
saw two of our residential students also going through the
line. (We have 43 boarding students from nine countries.) I
gave them a ride back to the dorm, and on the way, I asked
which was their favorite class. One answered, “Gym!” with a
big smile. (Students are the same, no matter their nationality
and heritage!) The other said his science class, chemistry.
He liked the experiments and how they were able to see the
concepts they were learning applied in the real world.
The other day I was in conversation with a parent whose
son is in our Special Education program. We have two
excellent teachers, and are putting the finishing touches on
a renovated space for their classes. He said, “My son is doing
so well. He is actually asking his teacher for help! He never
would do that before!”
A place where students are happy and feel they belong
About two weeks after school began, a dad came to see me
to ask for advice on how to get his son to read more. He
began speaking, then stopped, literally in mid-sentence, and
looked at me. “You have an amazing student body,” he said.
“Your students are friendly, they look you in the eye, and as I
walked on campus, several asked me if I needed help getting
to your office.” He paused, and then said, “That would not
have happened at my high school.”
I was talking with our Student Council president last week
about her experience over her four years at GSA. She feels
ready to be a successful student in college, but academic
preparation alone is not the only strength of our school: the
reason GSA is a better place to go to school than other high
schools, she thinks, is because our community’s cohesiveness
is unmatched.
This is the school you have chosen to support: A school
where students know they can be themselves, a school where
students are happy, a school where students are engaged in
their work. It is a school that provides an excellent education
for all types of learners, from all sorts of backgrounds, and
with all manner of aspirations. George Stevens Academy
is a school where all students are welcome as they are,
are challenged to become what they can become, and are
supported on that journey. And at GSA, all of them become
a single, cohesive, and joyous community.
You enable us to be this school. Thank you.

From Marion Morris, President of the Board of Trustees
This year was momentous in two ways especially: We welcomed
Tim Seeley as our new Head of School, and we acquired a
building on Tenney Hill to become a new dorm. Both changes
reflect hours of careful and thoughtful work by two trusteeled committees, the Search Committee and the Residential
Committee.
From the start, Tim Seeley has been working to ensure
that students and faculty are supported as fully as possible,
reinstating the position of Academic Dean, appointing a
Director of Student Conduct and expanding Special Education
services. As well, GSA now has a full-time nurse and a parttime counselor.
Appointing a Dean of Curriculum and Instruction, expanding
Special Education, and increasing support of health care for
students were all goals of the 2013 Strategic Plan. Additional
housing to improve the residential experience and address
declining opportunities in homestays were also items on our
extended strategic list.
We are fortunate to have been able to purchase a property that
so well addresses our current boarding needs and provides space
for future facilities needs. Once remodeling of the building
is complete, it will provide a suitable home for our residential
population and dorm parents, as well as indoor recreation areas
for all GSA students. Thanks to the assistance of architect and
past parent Bruce Stahnke, we look forward to opening the new
dorm by August 2016.
Diversification of our Residential Program is important to
both its excellence and sustainability. This year we have a
total enrollment of 326 students­—283 day students and 43
international boarding students from 9 different countries—33
from China, 1 from Taiwan, 2 from Vietnam, 2 from Turkey,
1 from Russia, 1 from South Korea, 1 from Thailand, 1 from
Italy, and 1 from Jamaica.
We have undertaken a thorough assessment of our facilities in
relation to GSA’s Strategic Plan goals with the aim of producing
a campus master plan. The plan will be driven by program
needs identified in the Strategic Plan, as well as those that have
evolved in the few years since its completion. We continue to
dedicate significant time and resources to addressing deferred
maintenance, in ways that are environmentally sound and
sustainable.
A donation to ​the annual fund ​i​s a monetary vote of confidence
in GSA’s development as an institution, deepening academic
curriculum as well as widening educational offerings, and
unerring commitment to its students. George Stevens is a
happy, hardworking school, and the annual fund is critical to
ensuring its ongoing success. The annual fund belongs to all
of us—students, faculty, administration, parents, alumni, and
friends.
There are also numerous people who mentor and aid students,
who lend their artistic or academic gifts, who share the richness
of their lives—all of which makes GSA an extraordinary place
for students and adults alike. We appreciate the generosity of
these contributions, offered in hundreds of ways, which further
strengthen our school and highlight an engaged community
at its very best. Truly, George Stevens Academy could not
continue to offer such a diverse academic and extracurricular
program to so many students without the wide-ranging support
that we receive.
We are very grateful and we thank you.
Welcoming Two New Trustees — from Melissa Mattes for the Committee on Trustees
Katrina Parson
After many years living in Connecticut where she raised her three children, Katrina and
her husband, Frank, arrived in Maine in 1990 to live in their retirement house in Brooklin.
Because Katrina had a professional career in human services, she quickly became involved in
area organizations. Over the past 25 years she has served on the following boards: Downeast
Horizons, Blue Hill Memorial Hospital and the Eastern Maine Healthcare System, the Bay
School, The Grand, Blue Hill Heritage Trust, and, of course, GSA, where she served on the
board several years ago. Katrina enjoys singing in the Bagaduce Chorale, hiking, and playing
tennis. She looks forward to returning to GSA’s board to continue the work of this critical
institution.

Alumni Pro file: Samantha Haskell ’05
Many Hands Make Wild Work
As part of her work with Wild Seed Project, a Blue
Hill and Portland-based non-profit focused on returning native
plants and pollinator habitat to the Maine landscape, Samantha
Haskell ’05 co-edited the group’s first annual publication, Wild
Seed 2015. “The title of ‘Editor’ came with a steep learning curve,”
shares Sam. “As those from small, community-based schools
know, sometimes you need to call in favors from your friends and
neighbors to get good work done, and luckily the GSA network is
full of brilliant allies.”
Sam elaborates: “First, current parent Kathryn Dillon and
alumni parent Lisa Looke were the genius minds in charge
of Art and Design for the magazine. For the center spread
featuring Pollinator Corridors, we needed a creative writer with a
journalistic bent who would follow us into uncharted territories
and luckily, Morgan Springer ’07, a recent graduate of the Salt
Institute for Documentary Studies, was up for the job.
As Morgan compiled her photo-essay, we realized we needed
specific shots of the High Line corridor in New York City and
quickly called our friend, filmmaker Justine Conte ’05, who
saved us by spending her Sunday on a High Line photo shoot in
Chelsea.
When our crew trekked down to Portland for our cover photo
shoot, home base was Étaín, the lingerie shop owned by
Mackenzie Morris ’06. While out scouting shots, Kathryn and
Lisa ran into Martin Conte ’11, as well as Mackenzie’s brother
Dillon Morris ’09, who was out walking a dog belonging to Hilary
Thibodeau ’06 and Arvid Brown ’06. (Seriously, has anyone gone
to Portland lately and not run into someone from our Peninsula?)
I digress, but you get the point—the GSA network is strong!
With guidance from our Board of Directors, which includes
alumni parents Mary Whiting and Rick Larson, we had a
beautiful finished publication by the beginning of June. Please
check it out, and if you’d like to join the network of GSA alums
making this all possible, be in touch!”

REUNION NEWS: Class of 1965
From Linda Gray Martin ’65
“If smiles and hugs are any indication, then
the 50th Reunion of the Class of 1965 was a
big success. Nineteen members of the class,
three former teachers, and lots of spouses
and guests gathered together at the Peninsula
Metamorphic Arts and Learning Center in
Blue Hill on September 25, 2015 for a chance
to relive old memories and catch up on each
other’s lives over the past fifty years.
Bernard Perkins ’65 contributed one of the very
first Mountain Echo books from the Class of
1915 to GSA. Lucretia Leach Milliken’s son,
Gary, deejayed great sixties music and Jesse
Leach’s son served up oysters from their oyster
farm.
The reunion committee put together a book
of classmate profiles (contributed by each
classmate) along with headlines and popular
culture trivia from the sixties. If any class
member missed out on getting a book, there are
a few left. Contact Linda at [email protected].
Linda also has a few 8 x 10 color copies of the
class reunion picture if you’d like one.”
