2017-18 Severn School Yearbook

2018 This year, we wanted to focus on a simple, timeless theme. We want to be able to look back at our yearbook in 20 years and immediately be brought back to Severn in 2018. Because of this, we decided on the theme “2018”. 2018 is a critical year for all of us, whether we are beginning high school, in the thick of it, or graduating. Browsing through this year’s edition of The Navigator, you will be able to see everything we accomplished in 2018. We also wanted to tie the yearbook in with our school wide adaptive challenge: Unity. Throughout the book, you will see many hexagons fitting together like puzzle pieces. We wanted to portray the message that although we are all different, we are still able to fit together and work cohe- sively with one another. 1

HEADS OF SCHOOL As you peruse the 2018 Navigator and think back on the triumphs, the losses, and the ups and Doug Lagarde downs of the year, I hope you do so with a genuine sense of accomplishment and that the goals you set for yourself have come to fruition or, at least, are well on their way to completion. I also hope that all of Headmaster you have begun to figure out your purpose. As I expressed at our opening convocation, my goal for you this year and in the years to come is to stop fretting over figuring out what your passions are, and instead use the sources of purpose in your life - a friend, your family, your school, your job, your faith, your teams, a charity - to find your purpose and make a difference in yours and someone else’s life. I thank all of you for making a lasting difference here at Severn. I particularly want to thank the Class of 2018, for leading a successful and spirited year, and the staff of the Navigator for beautifully archiving the year in pictures and stories. I enter each new school year with a great sense of optimism and excitement to see how the Beatrice Fuller leadership of the senior class will mesh with the juniors and sophomores, as all of the upper grades welcome the ninth graders and the new teachers. By choosing Unity as the adaptive challenge this Upper School Head year, the many students and faculty members who participated in the August Leadership Lab set the goal and made the commitment to inspire community and togetherness. I hope that each grade level, club, and team will work towards that goal within their smaller enclaves, and that the student council and prefects will keep an eye on the bigger picture of all school unity. I also hope that the faculty will echo these efforts within the upper school. I know we will have a great year together! Dan Keller As I reflect on this year, I think of the work we have done to serve our students: Transition to the Teel Program, assessment work, inclusion and interdisciplinary projects, among Middle School Head many other endeavors. I am delighted to see this year’s 8th grade grow in so many positive ways and especially wish them best as they venture to the upper school. This year has been an exciting one in the middle school. Middle Schools are spaces of busy bodies and minds as well as often messy and unfinished work. Our students have the privilege of a fine faculty, and the faculty has the honor to work with such talented and receptive young adolescents. Laughter, friendships, acts of kindness and academic successes were abundant throughout Cathy North the school house. We cherished our time together during school assemblies, Student Council initiatives, and Helping Hands activities. Seeing students’ joy, work, and pride throughout the process speaks to Lower School Head confidence, creativity, and character of our students. Congratulations to all students. You have much to celebrate. Go Admirals!4

Seniors The Class of 2018 took their role as leaders of the school seriously. Whether it was in the classroom, on the sports field, or on the stage, the Seniors represented their class to its fullest potential. The Seniors embraced their leadership role, but also prepared for their next step: college. This school year was full of lasts and some firsts, but every day they made the best of it. As they look forward to the future, they look back on their time spent as Admirals.14
