A VISUAL HISTORY OF FACULTY & STAFF AT BELMONT HILL SCHOOL

May 

… In the first fl ush of our success, we must not forget to be grateful for the generosity, sacrifice, and eff ort of the Staff of the School.

First Faculty, 

From the Head of School

Dear Belmont Hill Community,

It is my privilege to introduce this Centennial brochure focused on the extraordinary faculty and staff of Belmont Hill. Alumni know that it has been dedicated Belmont Hill teacher-coaches that have been transforming boys into men of good character for  years at this School. There is never a reunion or alumni gathering where I don’t hear a new story about a Belmont Hill faculty member who made a difference in a graduate’s life. Perhaps not surprisingly, our recent effort to endow faculty chairs during this Centennial campaign has been wildly successful, as our alumni and parents are keenly focused on investing in the people who make the Belmont Hill experience possible.

We all know that becoming a faculty member at Belmont Hill is more than a job – it is more akin to a spiritual calling. Our teachers clearly have made a choice to find personal meaning in relationships, rather than financial rewards alone. What I continue to find remarkable as Head of School is how consistently our new parents isolate our faculty as the single most powerful aspect of the Belmont Hill value proposition in comparison to other schools. Our faculty are the ones who shape the culture and safeguard our values, yet continually push us to improve into the best version of ourselves. Our faculty intentionally has a wide range of academic and co-curricular talents, varied political views, and different teaching styles in the classroom. But they all share an unwavering dedication to acting in the best interest of our boys – no matter what their particular passion or area of expertise may be.

Heads of School throughout the years have described our faculty in various ways, including the notion that “the faculty is the school.” On a personal level, I have been fortunate to have been a part of various honors and organizations throughout my career. For me, the fact that the Head of School position is considered a member of the Belmont Hill faculty has been the most impactful. It is humbling to be working together with this amazing team. The shared sense of trust and commitment I see in their collective work motivates me in sustained and unexpected ways.

Similarly, our staff are the unsung heroes of the Belmont Hill experience. Day after day, they work behind the scenes to help create the environment that allows our faculty to thrive with our boys. Whether this is taking care of the campus, maintaining our technology infrastructure, or supporting the financial model of our community, this place would never be possible without our staff. Our donors have recognized this as well, as we recently had a Centennial gift designated to endow the first Staff Chair on campus. We believe this is the first such Chair in our peer group for this purpose.

There has been no greater example of the shared commitment to working together than during the recent COVID- pandemic we all endured. While everyone harbored personal fears and concerns, our faculty and staff essentially concluded that our boys needed us more than ever. We had to figure out a way for them to be on campus and to be together with their teachers and with their peers. When I consider the relative strength of the mental health of our community, I have no doubt that this will to overcome the pandemic is a key reason that our boys have weathered this challenging period better than most. As a leader, it has been the collective will of our faculty and staff that inspires me to try to do the best job I possibly can on their behalf. As administrators, if we can preserve the culture and conditions to allow the School to thrive, we know that the outcomes will be spectacular for our boys.

I truly hope that these pages will remind you of some of the great people and the great moments that have turned Belmont Hill boys into men of good character. We must continue to support the fine work of our faculty and staff as we look to the next  years. There will be no more important investment we will make as a community than finding and retaining the next incredible generation of Belmont Hill teacher-coaches. It is on their shoulders and through their dedication that our mission becomes a reality.

Sincerely yours,

BELMONT HILL SCHOOL 1

Introduction

In my professional life, my consulting firm established one of the leading educational practices in the country. We worked for over a decade with the Gates Foundation in its quest to improve the quality of education in America. By far, the leading indicator of outstanding student outcomes was the quality and dedication of the faculty. Great teachers have the most impact in turning out prepared and well-equipped students.

At Belmont Hill, we have been spoiled with a multitude of legendary teachers and a group of unsung heroes amongst our staff. e esprit de corps of our faculty and staff is without compare. e results are undeniably impressive. In just a century, we are part of a community that has eclipsed our Independent School League peers on myriad dimensions, most notably the achievements of our alumni in their various career pursuits. Other than their parents who reign supreme, I believe the other elixir is the impact the teachers have had on each young man that graduates from Belmont Hill.

I believe one of the most impressive aspects of our faculty is how many have come back to Belmont Hill to teach and become legends in their own right. At the head of the class are Henry Sawyer ’ who taught here for nearly sixty years and Ken Martin ’, son of Ken Martin ’, who has taught here for fifty years. In total, we have had  alumni return to teach our boys. In our current faculty, we have  alumni. All of them carry memories of their Belmont Hill legendary teachers and mentors and are adamant about continuing the traditions that they cherished while embracing new ways of teaching and new traditions.

As a whole, our faculty and staff have only one goal. It is to mold gentlemen of character that will make a difference in whatever they pursue. e kernels of their wisdom are forever remembered and appreciated by our alumni.

During my time as a student, alumnus, trustee, and parent, I can attest to witnessing the Belmont Hill magic play out many times over. Famed Constitutional Law teacher, Mock Debates and Political Conventions founder, Varsity soccer coach, and our first

squash coach, George Seeley, was my mentor extraordinaire. He and his wife, Susan, remain to this day close friends. Charlie Jenny, Roger Duncan, Henry Sawyer, John Henry Funk, Herb Matledge, Buddy Bates, Maynard Maxwell, Kim Bassett, and Ted Burt graced the campus during my time at the Hill and all made their mark on my life.

Today, my son, Will ’, is already developing close relationships with our faculty. Mrs. Gorman, Mrs. Sweeney, Mr. DiResta, Mr. George, Mr. Doar, Mr. Ryan, Mr. Williams, Mr. Bradley, Mr. Hagerty, Mr. Sweeney, and Mr. Steffey have all made their indelible marks on Will. And more will do so over the next three years for sure. Will’s story is replicated  times every year and year out with each student.

As a trustee, I witness the incredible support and contributions of our staff. Without question, we have the most celebrated and talented Development Director in the country in Bev Coughlin. She has attracted an amazing group to the Alumni House. My work with them during this Centennial cements my deep and enduring respect for their professionalism, grace, dedication, and love of Belmont Hill.

I would also like to extend my thanks and appreciation to these outstanding members of the Belmont Hill staff who help keep the School running at the highest level: Chief Financial Officer Jay Bounty and his Finance team; Steve Carr ’ and the Admissions Office; Elton Matos and the Facilities team; June Schmunk and her Counseling colleagues; our Parent Engagement Director, Lora Farkas; Emi White, our Nurse; our Registrar and College Counseling Assistant, Sharon Patton; Head Athletic Trainer Dennis Chin and the amazing Athletics team; and Greg’s extraordinary Executive Assistant, Beth Girioni.

It is a great honor to present to you this collection of memories of our Faculty and Staff. Each person has played an important role in the success of our beloved Belmont Hill School. Please thank them every time you have the opportunity to do so.

First Meeting

February 

A group of men met at the home of Robert Atkins on Belmont Hill, not far from what would become the campus. They were all seeking a day school with small classes and imaginative leadership for their sons. Since they didn’t have an option within reach, they agreed to establish a school of their own.

The Cottage Offers Living Space for Staff August 

The Cottage was constructed in  to house staff. It then became the living quarters for faculty, specifically the Densmore, Funk, and Bridges families. The Cottage is now the Petros A. Palandjian Admission Center, after being used as the Alumni and Development Office in the early s.

Founding Headmaster, Dr. R. Heber Howe, Moves In August

Dr. Reginald Heber Howe, Jr. and his family moved into the Headmaster’s House a few weeks before school began. The Howe family lived on the second floor of the Head’s House, or Howe House as it is now known. Dr. Howe came from Harvard, where he was the crew coach and a researcher. He had worked at Middlesex School before Harvard and was a teacher to many of the founding incorporators. In the time that he served as Headmaster, he created a supportive community. In addition to his work teaching and coaching, he was an author and distinguished natural scientist. Dr. Howe was Headmaster from  to .

Dr. Howe, Mr. Thomas Morse, and Mr. Parker Hamilton purchased homes on Tyler Road, adjacent to the School, to accommodate boarding students and the growing enrollment.

Dr. Howe Passes Away January

In a complete shock to the Belmont Hill community, Dr. Howe passed away suddenly from heart failure. Richard W. Day ’, former Principal of Phillips Exeter Academy, states: “No one who was in the School dining room on that bleak January day, when Dr. Howe’s death was announced, will ever forget it. Here was a man who was short of stature but stood ten feet tall in our lives, and for those who had the privilege of being students under him he retains that stature and he continues his firm influence over us.” Mr. Thomas Morse, later our third Headmaster, became Acting Headmaster for the rest of the school year.

Mr. Thomas R. Morse Begins Tenure as the Third Headmaster September 

Mr. Thomas R. Morse became our third Headmaster in , taking over after Mr. Taylor’s untimely death in April. Mr. Morse had already been on the faculty for  years, so his knowledge and experience at the School made the transition easy. Mr. Morse had already served as Interim Headmaster after Dr. Howe’s death. Mr. Morse would remain Headmaster until , when he entered into the Naval service at the beginning of World War II. Under Mr. Morse, our school grounds and athletic facilities were improved, including an additional boarded hockey rink. The first yearbooks were published, named The Sundial for the sundial in front of the Headmaster’s House.

ca. 

During his tenure, Mr. Densmore was Director of the Lower School from  to , Chairman of the Modern Languages Department, Director of Admissions, teacher of French, Secretary of the Financial Aid Committee, and the School photographer. Mr. Densmore was indeed critical in the development and growth of Belmont Hill.

Mr. Charles F. Hamilton Starts as the Fourth Headmaster in Difficult Times

September 

With only  boys enrolled as the - school year ended and World War II continued, Mr. Hamilton started in the most difficult of times. Some families thought that Belmont Hill would not make it through the war due to the low enrollment numbers and financial hardships, but Mr. Hamilton saw this as a challenge and pledged to stabilize the School in the most unstable of times. Mr. Hamilton was able to get enrollment numbers up to  boys before the -  school year began, and in the first few years of his leadership, he was able to double the size of enrollment. This success was a direct reflection of the persistence and leadership of Mr. Hamilton.

Belmont Hill Celebrates 25 Years

December 

Mr. Hamilton’s remarks on the th Anniversary: “Much has been said and written about this anniversary year. We as faculty are duly proud to celebrate it and to think back over the growth of the School in the quarter century of its life — to reflect too, on the increasing usefulness of its service to all of you who have shared with us the happiness of belonging to what Mr. Keller so rightly calls ‘the Belmont Hill family.’ Perhaps this pride may seem to some as out of proportion to the actual age of the School. Twenty-five years is hardly old age even for an individual and certainly not for an institution. But such distinctions are relative. What really matters, it seems to me, is what has been accomplished in the years, not their numerical total. This is what gives them meaning.”

On the Faculty from  to , Mr. Keller was an incredible asset to the School—so much so that the first artificial outdoor hockey rink was named for him. Mr. Keller continued his work on the Alumni Bulletin and remained highly involved until his death. He was the honorary recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award in .

After fizzling out in the s, the Executive Committee reestablished the Sabbatical Program. Mr. Keller was the first faculty member to take a sabbatical, which he most certainly earned in his time at Belmont Hill.

Mr. Prentice “Spike” Downes

June 

Sadly, Mr. Downes died unexpectedly on June , . The  Sundial notes: “In his years at Belmont Hill, Mr. Downes made an indelible impression on his students, both as a teacher who loved his subject and as a man who strove to pass along to his students the intellectual awareness that distinguishes the true scholar.” He was Head of the History Department from  to  and also taught physiography. Mr. Downes was also an explorer and author. He spent much of his time away from Belmont Hill in Canada studying First Nations tribes.

Mr. Maynard Maxwell

ca. 

Mr. Maxwell came to the School in  to head the Mathematics Department and held that position until . In his early years at Belmont Hill, Mr. Maxwell taught six classes a day and coached both varsity hockey and baseball. Later, he undertook the operation of the athletic store.

“His leadership made us better. Our commander had a vision of Belmont Hill, standing high on the hill, excellent, aspiring, a light-house school. He gave us hope, direction, and inspiration; we all strove together to make our school a better place; perhaps, one day, it would become the very best place. That was worth working for.” – Mr. David Aloian, th Head of School, . Mr. Hamilton left an incredible legacy. Enrollment surpassed  students and the campus flourished. His most significant contribution was his push to have all the members of the School be able to congregate in one place. At the time, the assembling of the boys would have to occur in shifts. When the opportunity arose, Mr. Hamilton, with the support from the trustees and a generous gift from George and Margaret Lynch, took advantage and forever changed the landscape of our campus. That building was the Chapel, or Hamilton Chapel as we now know it today.

Mr. Wadsworth’s -year tenure as our seventh Head of School was a productive, steady era. Mr. Wadsworth helped to expand financial aid and improve publications and communications. Under his leadership, initiatives such as summer programs and parent involvement were created and the teacher internship program was established. A new library and the Lynch Center, including an up-to-date computer lab, was built and the original gym was renovated into the Robsham Arts Center. Encapsulating the tight-knit community that Mr. Wadsworth wanted, the Senior Breakfast was created to connect the faculty and the seniors one last time before the graduation ceremony.

School Faces the COVID-19 Pandemic March 

Our administration pivoted quickly when faced with the COVID- pandemic. Teachers adjusted to remote learning over the March break. Students and teachers alike tried to keep the community as tight-knit as possible during this trying time. We were able to return to campus, and the administration worked hard to make the school year as normal as possible. With strict protocols and weekly testing among the changes, the community rallied together to keep everyone on campus for the entire school year.
