Bridgton Academy Today Winter 2023

bridgton academy today

The discrepancy between the educational success of young men and young women is a secret neither in educational circles, nor around the dinner table of families across the country. By any measure, this gender gap in academic performance should give us all pause. These performance differences have gained much more attention in recent years as various studies and books have published their findings on the matter, particularly as this gap is represented at the postsecondary level.

The statistics are telling:

• In 2019, as a percentage of bachelor’s degrees awarded: women earned 57% versus 43% for men;

• Young men who enrolled in college in 2013 were 10% less likely to earn their degree in four years than young women;

• Men comprise only 40% of all enrolled students at four-year colleges; and

• In the fall of 2020, as a result of the pandemic, enrollment at all U.S. colleges fell by almost 500,000 students, but the decline among males during this period was seven times higher than among female students.

The success rate between boys and girls begins to widen around the 4th grade and only increases throughout the educational life of young men. Across the disciplines of education, brain science, sociology, and economics, there are many theories about why this gap exists and probably just as many pronouncements by experts about what has to change. Examining every single one of those is not my purpose here.

One of those theories, however, did make me sit up a bit in my seat. It was the idea of a “redshirt year” for boys discussed in Richard Reeves’ book Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why it Matters, and What to do About It. It’s a concept that has been written about before that links more successful academic performance among boys to the age at which they begin kindergarten. Studies have found that boys whose parents delay the

start of kindergarten perform substantially better than those who do not.

Bridgton Academy has made this “redshirt” year our mission for more than six decades. We were ahead of our time in understanding young men and what they need to be successful in college and in life. Instead of the delayed start to elementary school, students who choose a postgraduate year at Bridgton delay their start to college. In doing so, they and their families make an important investment in their futures. Those who attended the Academy themselves, or who had sons who did, can speak to many of the tools and aspects of this experience that made, and continue to make a difference: study hall, advising, location of campus, small class sizes, the overlapping attention to both educational and athletic needs of our students, and of course our staff, who dedicate their professional lives to serving young men during this important time in their lives.

Moreover, what makes all of these tools we use here at Bridgton even more effective is the way in which we connect our Program to our Purpose. What I mean by that is the work we do in the classroom, or on athletic teams, or in the dormitory is always framed by the larger and much more important aspect of “Why.” The students have their assignments, obligations, schedules, classes, and the like, but that work would be meaningless if we did not stress over and over again the larger purpose at hand. When our young men struggle, the first thing we do is bring them back to “Why?”. How important is an essay or getting to study hall on time, in and of themselves? Perhaps, not very. But when we link those tasks to the greater purpose, we have a dynamic tool at our disposal, one that has the power to change lives. Bridgton Academy provides The Year That Makes The Difference: our shared purpose is to change lives and help our students attain the goals they have set for themselves.

There is no easy fix for the challenges that young men are facing in their education. The reasons are complex, and, I suspect, have been brewing for a very long time. While I don’t have an answer that will bring all boys to parity with girls, I do know that Bridgton Academy plays a pivotal role in the lives of many young men who seek to improve and overcome some of these challenges. We must do better for our young men as a society, and I would suggest that a good place to start would be to make sure that we never let them lose sight of their power as learners and reinforce the purpose—the all-important “Why” behind it all.

BOARD NOTES

We are pleased to announce that the Bridgton Academy Board of Trustees has a new president, Vic DiGravio, and two new members: Peter Van Haur ’97 and Dr. Ann-Marie White.

MEET THE NEWEST HALL OF FAMERS

On September 30, seven alumni and one former faculty member were inducted into the Academy’s storied Hall of Fame:

Robert Axtell, Ph.D. ’71

Leonard Hathaway ’58

Kevin Jones ’81

Jean-Claude Katende ’79

Timothy Morris ’79

Richard Mullins ’88

These individuals were honored for their life achievements, outstanding service, and the ways that each of them has made a difference in their respective corners of the world.

As guests that evening heard the inductees’ remarkable stories, a common thread was woven through their words: their time in North Bridgton positively

touched many aspects of their lives.

Our congratulations to the Hall of Fame Class of 2022!

Vic DiGravio, who has served on the board since 2015, was elected as its new president this summer. While Vic is not himself an alumnus, his father, Vic DiGravio Jr., was an incredibly proud member of the Class of 1959. “I am honored to have been elected as Board President. Bridgton Academy is a remarkable institution with incredibly talented and dedicated faculty and staff,” said DiGravio. He continued, “Bridgton’s future is bright.” Vic’s passion for the mission of Bridgton, along with his ability to bring people together in shared purpose, will help to support the Academy and our Board of Trustees as we move forward into the Academy’s 215th year.

Mr. Van Haur, along with being a Bridgton alumnus, is also the CEO of Vital Connect, an innovative biotechnology firm that specializes in wearable biosensor technology. Prior to joining Vital Connect, he served as the U.S. commercial vice president at Cordis and has also worked for other major biopharmaceutical and medical device companies. Mr. Van Haur earned a bachelor’s degree from University of Massachusetts–Amherst and is also a graduate of Columbia University’s Management Program.

DORM WARS: THE BATTLE FOR BRIDGTON

Every fall, we’re excited to offer Dorm Wars, which helps welcome students to campus while also bolstering support of the Bridgton Fund. Dorm Wars: The Battle for Bridgton tasked members of the Academy community to support their favorite dorm by making a gift in

its honor. Each $10 raised for a specific dorm equaled one player. Each dorm that attained 100 or more players ($1,000+) received a dessert party and the winner, Holt Hall ($3,050 raised), had a dinner party. We’re happy to report that all the dorms celebrated the results with

something sweet! In all, Dorm Wars: The Battle for Bridgton raised more than $10,000 for the Bridgton Fund. Many thanks to all the alumni, parents, and friends who gave generously in support of their favorite residence halls and the Bridgton Fund!

Dr. White is a seasoned educator, holding several leadership positions at Brooklyn Laboratory Charter School, the Putney School, and Deerfield Academy. In addition to her work in the classroom, Dr. White has also coached other educators, developed specialized curricula, and has consulted for a number of schools on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). She holds a bachelor’s degree from Hunter College of the City University of New York and later earned a Ph.D. in biology from MIT.

homecoming weekend

It was a stunning fall weekend for Homecoming on the Hill! Hundreds of alumni, parents, and friends joined us for athletic contests, (a lot of) food, golf, reminiscing and camaraderie, and so much more!

Parents and guardians took advantage of the opportunity to meet with their students’ teachers and to hear about their academic

progress. They also had the chance to learn about the college counseling process during an information session hosted by Dean of Academics Jamie Izaryk. The alumni who chose to relax in the Alumni VIP Tent had the best seat in the house for the athletic events and sharing memories. Alumni were also in attendance during the 2022 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, where they showed support

HOMECOMING ON THE HILL: SEPTEMBER 30 – OCTOBER 2, 2022

of their Bridgton brothers who were being honored that evening. There truly was something for everyone—from the Family Fun Zone to the reception at Bridgton Highlands Country Club, and we were delighted to host so many Wolverines and their families on campus.

Regardless of whether you were able to join us, be sure to check out the photos from this fun-filled weekend by scanning the QR code.

We look forward to celebrating Homecoming 2023, tentatively scheduled for September 29 – October 1, 2023!

In addition to welcoming alumni and families, this year we will honor milestone reunions ending in 3s and 8s.

THE CLASS OF 2023 GIVES BACK

In early December, several members of the Class of 2023 took a break from their studies, athletics, and other commitments to get out in the community and make a difference during the holiday season. Over the course of two days, approximately 40 Wolverines (and a few faculty members) gave of their time at the Harrison Food Bank, which is located just a few miles from campus. The food bank serves those in need from across the Lakes Region and western Maine by helping them to stock their pantries and refrigerators with healthy, nutritious foods at no charge. Bridgton students joined an enthusiastic group of volunteers, helping to prepare items for distribution by organizing the staging area, making room for deliveries from partner organizations, as well as participating in distribution efforts. Thank you to the students who volunteered their time and to the food bank for their crucial service to our community!

THE SHOW GOES ON

If you’re looking for a new podcast subscription, look no further! The Show was started by recent graduates, Dan Sarmiento ’22 and Joe Norris ’22 to help bring a younger, fresher perspective to baseball in America. Some of the first episodes were recorded on Bridgton Academy’s campus and the podcast has gained considerable traction, with nearly 30,000 subscribers and garnering an impressive number of views (one of the most popular episodes has been viewed more than 300,000 times).

Since leaving the Academy, The Show has taken Sarmiento to several collegiate and MLB games across the country, giving him the opportunity to interview players such as the Astros’ Lance McCullers. The podcast has since caught ESPN’s attention

and the network invited Dan to visit its campus in Connecticut. Following that trip, ESPN sent him to Philadelphia to create content for the 2022 World Series!

If you haven’t given the podcast a listen yet, you’re missing out on some great content! You can check it out on YouTube (c/@dsarm) and Instragram (@dsarm).

We’re excited to see where The Show will take Dan next!

PREPARING FOR LIFE AFTER BRIDGTON

On September 28, the Academy was delighted to host admissions representatives from more than 50 colleges and universities as a part of Bridgton’s annual College Fair. Institutions of higher education from across the state, country, and even abroad converged on campus to help our students make educated decisions when considering the path they could take following their time here at the Academy. The students were highly engaged, with many speaking with multiple representatives, getting answers to some of their most pressing questions about the application process and matriculation. The admissions representatives were impressed by our Wolverines, with several noting how mature and prepared they were. We are grateful to all the schools—from both near and far—who spent time on campus with us to help our students prepare for life beyond Bridgton.

BASEBALL BRINGS CHAMPIONSHIP HOME

Congratulations to the baseball team on its winning performance in the Showcase League Championship! This is the first time that the team has earned this title and was the perfect way for the boys to finish off the fall season. It was an impressive day for the Wolverines, highlighted by the pitching staff. Dan Nineve (Plainville, MA) was outstanding, escaping a bases-loaded jam with back-to-back strikeouts to leave the tying run at third base and help the Wolverines advance to the finals with a 3-2 victory. In the 2-1 championship-game victory, Gabe White (Essex Junction, VT) was dominant on the mound, eventually exiting the game with a 2-1 lead and handing the ball off to Noah Grant (Brownfield, ME), who threw a perfect seventh inning and earned the save. The team achieved its first major collective goal by winning the Showcase League and is now focused on the off-season strength and conditioning program before ramping back up for the spring season.

Advisory 101: Empathy. Advocacy. Community.

By Molly Barker

BA Advisory Basics

Who? Dedicated faculty and engaged students.

What? A mutually beneficial mentorship program.

When? At least twice weekly from the time students arrive for orientation until they receive their alumni pins, and often beyond graduation as many student-advisor relationships last for many years.

Where? Locations across campus and beyond.

Why? To help our students transition to life at the Academy and prepare them for life beyond Bridgton.

The Advisory Program is one of the hallmarks of a year at Bridgton Academy, both for the students and faculty alike. Bridgton may not be unique in incorporating such a program into the student experience; however, I have come to understand that the approach we take here is what sets ours apart. In a recent article published by the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) on the subject, it was noted that many such programs have earned a “notorious reputation for ineffectiveness.1” Advisory is not treated like an afterthought here at the Academy, nor is it “like academic class periods without the academics—desks in rows, teachers leading discussions and activities, and students lacking interest.2” Here, it is deeply interwoven into the fabric of campus life.

As I approach my one-year anniversary at Bridgton, this academic year is the first time I’ve had the opportunity to be an advisor to a small cadre of students. I was, and remain, excited about guiding them through their year at Bridgton. At the same time, I was (and am) somewhat nervous about serving in such an important capacity, one that does directly touch students’ lives in a meaningful way. So, I decided I needed to learn more: more about these programs in general, more about our specific approach, and more about what it means to be an effective advisor.

Serendipitously, most of our time during a recent faculty meeting was allocated to a panel discussion comprised of four veteran advisors. They were convened to answer questions and offer advice to less seasoned

member of the class of 2023 (via anonymous survey)

1https://www.nais.org/magazine/independent-school/summer-2021/trend-lines-clarifying-the-purpose-of-advisoryprograms/ 2https//:www edweek org/leadership/how-schools-can-make-advisories-meaningful-for-students-andteachers2019/03/ https//:www edweek org/leadership/how-schools-can-make-advisories-meaningful-for-studentsand-teachers2019/03/

What makes a good advisor?

“The ability to not just be a guide, but also a friend, and to know when to draw the line between the two.”

advisors, such as myself. In a discussion that covered both tactical and philosophical approaches, the panelists spoke to the role the advisor should serve and shared several best practices. One thing that all panelists agreed upon was that the advisor’s core responsibilities are to support and advocate for the students, as well as provide a safe, neutral space for them to be themselves. In short as one panelist put it, our job is to be a “partner in their success.” We heard that perspective, empathy, and authenticity are key to establishing an enduring, meaningful relationship.

My research could have stopped there. But I realized that if I didn’t include the other part of the advisory equation into my research, i.e., the students, I would have been doing myself a disservice. I wanted to hear from them directly about their take on the program, so I sent out a brief survey to the entire student body to do just that. Overall, they had positive things to say about the program and their advisors. Often, their words echoed those of the faculty panelists: “trust,” “support,” and “help.”

Additionally, I knew I would have been remiss had I not also sought for the thoughts of our alumni and parents. Thanks to the power of social media, my research to find out what makes a great advisor was almost complete. I heard from alumni and parents who attested to the positive impact this person had made on themselves or their students in helping them to prepare for their next steps. According to all the groups

polled, accountability, encouraging words, and a bit of fun seem to be a solid recipe for establishing a fruitful student/advisor relationship.

I unearthed a few other nuggets of wisdom while researching this piece: “Advisers need permission to be learners alongside their advisees” and “To get advisories right, schools need to offer ongoing professional development and support to teachers who may be uncomfortable with the format, and they need to integrate them into larger school strategies.”

I’m glad I seized the opportunity to dig deeper on this subject and if I’ve learned anything in the process, I suspect that I’ll grow in this role. One thing became increasingly apparent as I set out to write this article: Advisory at Bridgton Academy can, and does, have a transformational effect on our students’ lives. I’m eager to see where the rest of the year will take my cohort and share in their successes and achievements.

Wellness as Part of the Wolverine Way

By Jessica Priola

The aftershocks of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt in very real ways in the world of education and youth development. A quick Google search turns up hundreds of new scholarly journal articles studying a wide array of impacts including increased anxiety, poor mental health, increased behavioral challenges, significant learning gaps, struggles with absenteeism, and a myriad of other challenges. Bridgton Academy, like many schools, has seen some of these realities first-hand as we work with young men who are emerging from this time.

In the spring of 2022, faculty member Matt Burgess ’88 was announced as the Academy’s newest Laferriere Chair for Excellence in Teaching. This funded professional development award allows a teacher to explore a proposed project over the three-year period for which they serve as chair. Matt’s proposal could not have been timelier, as the entirety of his work is focused on the assessment and better understanding of student wellness and its role in the Bridgton Academy experience.

“Academic and athletic success are well documented during the postgraduate experience and reported back to the Academy both anecdotally from alumni and qualitatively via survey and other data collection methods,” shares Matt. “The third part of this experience is your wellness, wellbeing, spirit, however you want to describe it. At Bridgton Academy, this important aspect of our program has been the least-often studied and addressed.

My goal through the Laferriere Chair is to develop a well-rounded Postgraduate Seminar for students that is supported by a team of caring adults. The Postgraduate Seminar will address topics that may be otherwise missing in our already welldeveloped academic and athletic programs, paying particular attention to student wellbeing. The use of technology to track wellness biometrics will be a key piece of this program, providing insight for follow up and assessment.”

Matt, whose background combines teaching, coaching, and wellness, is uniquely suited to lead this effort. His Laferriere Chair program will take place in three phases over three years, each building upon the prior year, allowing Matt to further modify and expand the Postgraduate Seminar. The first phase, which rolled out this fall, is a trial phase that incorporates a small number of faculty and students. To date, four faculty members have been selected to participate in the program along with twenty students. The students and staff in this beta group have been given a wearable biometric wristband that Matt selected to best gather baseline wellness information. As they go about their day, the wristband collects data related to heart rate, sleep, exertion, and nutrition. Students can input additional information as they choose and journal privately with regards to their wellness choices on a particular day. The biometric data for all participants is uploaded to a dashboard that allows Matt to track how the beta group is performing overall.

“The mission of my Laferriere Chair is to enhance the postgraduate experience through a holistic process of assessment, individual program design, and follow up that demonstrates improvement—adding value to the Bridgton experience for the entire community.”

matt burgess ‘88

One of the earliest themes that Matt has seen from this data collection is related to sleep. “The average hours of sleep have been a bit surprising for program participants. The low end for us is five hours and forty-five minutes; at the high end, we are averaging seven hours and forty-five minutes. So, it’s not necessarily the three or four hours that students may tell us. That said, the tool that we are using also measures the quality of sleep, which has been really eye-opening, for lack of a better expression. We only have one person participating in the program that currently has a high-ranking sleep quality score; everyone else is fair at best. Thinking about the important part that rest plays in our health and wellness has been a teaching moment for a number of the students already.”

Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, Brad West, is one of the early faculty participants in this program and already sees the real time wellness benefits for himself personally, as well as the students he works with. “I have experienced firsthand how factors such as screen time, dinner choices, and sleep hygiene play a big part in determining my sleep efficiency. I sleep about as much as I thought, but now I know that if screens are on when I’m

sleeping, or if I eat an unhealthy meal close to bed, that my sleep efficiency will be much lower than normal, and this impacts how I am feeling the following day.”

West goes on to share that the extra focus on wellness through Matt’s Laferriere Chair project has certainly added a new layer of insight for himself and the students with whom he works. “I believe that this program is an excellent first step in leveling up our performance program with studentathletes,” Brad shares. “The students participating in the program generally seem interested, and often learn about their biometric data on their own before I even ask. I think this data is helping studentathletes to understand their bodies more, and learning how certain stressors can affect them. In my own life, this program has helped me exponentially in managing stress. It’s easy for me to pinpoint the days of the week that are most challenging, allowing me to build my schedule out better to better position myself for success. Studying my own biometrics has also helped me to realize when I need to slow down, which I can find tough to do on my own at times.”

In the weight room, Brad is using the biometric data to study recovery for participating students, finding that it gives

Laferriere Chair

The James “Jake” Laferriere Chair for Excellence in Teaching is an endowed professional development fund that is presented on a triennial basis to a faculty member who embodies the very qualities that Jake possessed as a faculty leader at Bridgton Academy. It is presented to a faculty member whose classroom teaching consistently demonstrates excellence in teaching, the ability to inspire students, exceptional leadership skills, a commitment to pedagogical innovation, a strong sense of justice, and a reverence for learning. The Laferriere Chair provides a faculty salary stipend, as well as significant funds to implement professional development programming for both the chairholder, as well as the faculty at large.

him an added layer of understanding as he works with them. “If a student who is part of the wellness program is having an off-week, it’s generally much easier for me to figure out why this may be happening, and see that play out in the data as well. It’s usually a result of insufficient quality sleep, excess stress, or inadequate calorie intake. These are things I can then talk to the student about and try to address.”

Lorenzo Almonte is one of the students that has been wearing the biometric tracker since day one this academic year. As a member of the basketball team, he is actively juggling all the requirements that come with being a student-athlete at Bridgton Academy. “I definitely feel like this program has positively impacted my school year to date,” shared Lorenzo. “One thing I’ve learned right away is that I don’t go to bed early enough or get enough quality sleep. As a student-athlete, I know that my recovery is important, especially in-season given the number of games we play. I’ve learned that quality sleep has a big impact on my recovery, and I’m trying to make changes, like going to bed earlier, to make sure I am helping myself.”

Beth Chagrasulis, another faculty member in the beta phase of the program, has found that the information from the biometrics collected has a natural tie-in to the Nutrition course she taught this fall. “I do refer to these metrics fairly often in my classes now. I try to share with students that data like this is another tool that they can use as they work towards goals of being healthier.”

The first semester of Matt’s program has been an interesting journey into data collection and baseline development in order to better understand where students currently are. Moving forward, Matt will continue to expand upon this effort, with a goal of having fifty percent of the student body participating in the program by year two. The use of surveys and data comparison will allow Matt and others at the Academy to determine how students within the program are performing compared to those who are not in areas such as attendance, grade point average, and overall wellness. By the third year, the entire student body will be invited to participate, taking the key indicators discovered in the first two years to further help students navigate their way to improved wellbeing.

The ultimate goal: to foster healthy students with enhanced awareness of how their wellbeing affects all aspects of life.

“The mission of my Laferriere Chair is to enhance the postgraduate experience through a holistic process of assessment, individual program design, and follow up that demonstrates improvement—adding value to the Bridgton experience for the entire community,” shares Matt. “There is no shortage of post-pandemic evidence that shows young people are in need of this type of support. You can have all the education, training, athletic prowess, and talent in the world—but it will do you no good if you are not keeping your mind, body, and spirit in balance.”

“I definitely feel like this program has positively impacted my school year to date. One thing I’ve learned right away is that I don’t go to bed early enough or get enough quality sleep.”

invisible strings to visible impact

Growing up in Cranbury, New Jersey, Jude Lindberg had never heard of Bridgton Academy, nor did he have future plans to become a boarding school English teacher and football coach. Invisible connections to Bridgton began to form as early as high school, though, and in some ways, Jude’s path to our community seems almost as though it was predestined. Jude attended the Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, where his offensive line coach and Dean of Students was none other than current Bridgton Head of School, Marty Mooney. After four years at Peddie, Jude was not quite satisfied with the options in front of him. Sensing that he would benefit from an extra year of maturation before college, he made the decision to spend a postgraduate year at Blair Academy in Blairstown Township, New Jersey.

With that extra year under his belt, Jude then enrolled at Wesleyan University where he thrived as a student-athlete and encountered more key figures who would unknowingly steer him toward Bridgton. Former Bridgton faculty member Jon Day ’10 served as a Graduate Assistant for the Wesleyan football team during Jude’s

freshman season. Current Head Football Coach, Matt Dugan, was serving as the Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach at Colby College and had to equip his team to face Jude and the Cardinals every year. Coach Dugan recalls, “I prepared the offensive line for the defensive line and Jude was an especially tough opponent because he just worked so hard. He was a true grinder and it made him hard to play against.”

After graduating from Wesleyan with a degree in Science and Society, Jude moved to New York City and took a distribution job, but quickly found the work unfulfilling. After reflecting on some of his formative experiences at Peddie and Blair Academy, Jude realized that a career in education could provide him a more meaningful life, so he sprang into action. He traveled up and down the East Coast visiting boarding schools, looking for the right place to make a difference. Ultimately, this journey led him to North Bridgton, where he reconnected with his former coach, Jon Day ’10. It was not until having a conversation with Day that Jude realized his former coach and mentor from the Peddie School, Marty Mooney, was now Bridgton’s Head of School. These connections eventually bore fruit, when Bridgton found itself in need of an intern to help out with athletic and academic programs heading into the spring of 2020. After a successful semester as an intern, Jude was invited to join the Bridgton faculty as a full-time teacher, coach, and dorm parent, a journey Jude has enjoyed every step of the way.

“The self-assurance we build in class is also needed on the field and in their social lives. Finding ways to improve a little bit every day really pays off.”

One of the keys to Mr. Lindberg’s success is the strength of the relationships he builds with his students. He explains, “Our students are at an age when you can be real with them. You don’t have to sugarcoat much. They want to be treated like adults and if you do that, they’re going to respect you. It allows you to have challenging conversations where you can really level with them.” For Jude, these relationships extend well beyond the classroom as he exemplifies the boarding school “triplethreat”: classroom teacher, coach, and dorm parent. He explains, “You stay true to yourself, but there are aspects that change a little bit when you do different things. So, me in the classroom is different from me on the football field, and me on the football field is different from me in the dorm. There’s obviously always a connective tissue, but it helps demonstrate to the students that we behave a certain way in the classroom, we behave differently on the football field, and we behave another way in the dorm. As faculty, we help to demonstrate that there is a right way to do things in each of these environments, which is an important lesson for our students to learn.”

Anyone around campus can attest to Jude’s commitment to leading by example. On the football field, he brings consistent energy to every practice, demonstrating technique with the aggression and precision he expects of his players. Head Coach Matt Dugan describes his approach, “He coaches like a teacher. I think that’s been the best thing about him. When I’m able to watch portions of Jude’s individual work with the linebackers, it’s definitely very teachingbased. He does a lot of in-the-moment teaching to help them understand things, rather than just trying to get through as many drills as possible in a given practice.”

In the classroom, Jude is dedicated to building up his students and providing the tools they’ll need in college. “A big part of the classroom experience here is building comfort and confidence with our students. That’s what they need: more confidence.”

Jude has a clear understanding of how the different facets of each student’s life intertwine. “That self-assurance we build in class is also what they need on the field and in social life. It’s about finding ways to improve a little bit every day. How can we get you to be more confident and comfortable in what you’re doing?” His students appreciate this approach.

Christopher Conroy ’23 describes, “His classes are always enjoyable because of his

welcoming and helpful demeanor. Through small steps, he teaches the class important strategies and tools to become a better writers, preparing us for the written work we’ll have in college.”

Making small everyday improvements is a lesson that Jude first learned when he was at prep school. He recalls, “One of my teachers said to me in high school, ‘I see that you work out every day in the gym. You work really hard. If you put half of the effort you put there into the classroom, you’d be a great student.’ Noticing those things that people need to hear, but aren’t willing to tell themselves, and trying to hammer those lessons home is really important to me,” shares Jude.

Instilling confidence and discipline is critical to any student’s academic success, and many Wolverines find unexpected strength through their creativity. Teaching English gives Jude a front row seat to that development, “My favorite part of teaching is seeing a different side of guys than you see on the field and, particularly teaching English, seeing their creative side. It’s really rewarding to see where their mind goes when you give them interesting questions. Some of the things they write are very surprising. They’ll catch you off-guard. The more my students write, the more I learn about them. Seeing these young men get more comfortable with themselves and less afraid in the classroom is, I think, the best part about teaching.”

Teaching the whole student is a vital aspect of success at any boarding school, and particularly at Bridgton, where most students are only here for a single year. Teachers and coaches like Jude, who interact with students in every sphere of life and treat them with respect, compassion, and accountability keep Bridgton the place that makes the difference. BA

“He coaches like a teacher. I think that’s been the best thing about him.”

Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook’s Road to Pennsylvania Avenue

Distance: 575 miles between the White House and Bridgton Academy Years Since Graduation: 18

Degrees Attained: 3; one bachelor’s and two master’s

The road from North Bridgton to the White House is neither short, nor is it for the faint of heart. Yet, this road is exactly where one alumnus, Lt. Cmdr. G. Graham Van Hook ’04 U.S. Navy, has found himself, recently earning a coveted spot as a 2022-2023 White House Fellow.

To attain one of these sought-after fellowships, hopefuls must complete a competitive, rigorous process that includes a six-part application. Those who are selected to advance to the next round are interviewed by a panel of prominent professionals. This group is further whittled down and finalists are invited to participate in a weekend-long assessment before the fortunate few receive the offer they’ve been waiting for.

Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook endured and shined during this process, ulitmately joining an elite group of professionals who are gaining invaluable experience at the highest level of our federal government. This year, Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook is serving as a liaison between cabinet secretaries, such as Dr.

Miguel Cardona, Secretary of Education, and the West Wing. The fellowship spans the course of a year, and so far, Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook has already been exposed to many new experiences like organizing cabinet meetings and attending former President Obama’s portrait unveiling. This experience, will without a doubt, serve Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook well, as he will continue his service in the Navy once the fellowship concludes in 2023.

Graham credits his time at Bridgton as being crucial for putting him on the path to working in the White House. Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook notes, “My year at the Academy was truly formative for me. It taught me the power of grit and tenacity, along with habits that were critical for setting me up for success at the undergraduate and graduate levels of study and also what it means to be a leader.”

Aside from the invaluable professional experience he’ll gain this year, Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook is also excited to forge lasting relationships with the other fellows in his cohort. His time at the Academy helped him understand the power of lifelong friendships, “The connections I made at Bridgton have lasted. In fact, I recently met up with a fellow alumnus over dinner and our bond remains as strong as ever.”

After his year at the Academy, Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. He also holds an MBA from The Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and a master’s degree from the University of Arkansas. He is a member and contributor of the United

States Naval Institute, and was on the National Board of Directors of the Surface Navy Association.

Prior to his time in the White House, Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook was the Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. Tornado. After the fellowship, Lt. Cmdr. Van Hook will head back to sea, where he will take command of a naval destroyer.

White House Fellowship

In 1964, President Johnson established a new fellowship to provide dedicated, talented, and driven young professionals with an opportunity to gain hands-on civil service experience in the upper echelons of the federal government. Since then, the prestigious White House Fellows program has served as a launch pad for the careers of several luminaries in both the public and private sectors. A small cohort of fellows are appointed through a highly competitive process that attracts thousands of applicants each year.

Meet the Wolverine

Favorite Bridgton Memory: Walking to class in the morning snow. The quiet air and seeing the buildings get lost in the falling snow was pure magic.

Favorite Dining Hall Meal: Pizza night, of course!

Favorite Book: Catcher in the Rye For those who haven’t read it, there are similarities between the book and Bridgton Academy.

Proudest achievements:

•Personally – being a father.

•Professionally – winning the Battle E as Captain for best ship in class on USS TORNADO.

•As a Bridgton student – drawing the cover for The Stranger (our yearbook).

Advice for current and future students: Attitude. It’s all about the attitude you bring to any given situation.

Dear Friends,

At Bridgton, we talk (and hear) a lot about the brotherhood, the family bond that is created among our classes and among the larger Bridgton family—a shared commitment to improvement, education, and creating the time and space needed to think about making positive change. There isn’t another school out there like Bridgton Academy, and your dedication to this school makes you officially part of the club. Bridgton is a small school with a big heart and committed advocates. It is these advocates of the school, many of whom are listed in the following pages, that continue to truly make the difference.

Just like our students, the Academy itself is in a growth mindset, never settling for “good enough,” and always striving to improve. Our community has goals and dreams that sometimes can feel challenging or even insurmountable. But just as we teach our students, with hard work, perseverance, and a little bit of grit, we can find the tenacity to move forward and reach ever-expanded horizons. With the support of dedicated advocates around us, the sky is truly the limit.

Thank you for your belief in and commitment to Bridgton Academy, The Year That Makes The Difference.

THE RICHARD R. MARCELLA SCHOLARSHIP FUND

ESTABLISHED: FALL OF 2022

Purpose: The Marcella Scholarship was created to honor the legacy of Coach Marcella here at Bridgton Academy. The initial principal funding for this endowment was gifted entirely from alumni and families of alumni who were positively affected by Rick’s work and dedication. This new fund, which will be awarded annually beginning with the Class of 2024, will provide an incoming football student-athlete with additional scholarship support. Unique to this award, the Head Football Coach will play a significant role in the identification and recommendation of scholarship candidates.

THE BILL PITTORINO TEAMMATE SCHOLARSHIP

ESTABLISHED: WINTER OF 2022

Purpose: Created in memory of Bill Pittorino ’78, the Pittorino Teammate Scholarship was established as a means to honor Bill’s life and legacy, as well as improve the world around us. The Pittorino Teammate Scholarship will be awarded annually to a young man interested in playing football at Bridgton Academy.

Bill Pittorino: 1958-2018

Bill attributed much of his success to his postgraduate year at Bridgton Academy. He felt it was here that he went from being the lost boy from a working class, broken home, to that of a young man prepared for college and ready to compete on a college football field. He always said he would have never gotten into college without the support and guidance that Bridgton Academy provided. As a college student, Bill became social chairman of his fraternity, captain of his football team, was nominated for All American, and made impactful and lifelong relationships at Cortland State University where his legacy continues. This scholarship, established by his widow and life partner, honors the role that Bridgton Academy had in his life and Bill’s wish to pay it forward so that other young men can fulfill their potential.

THE KEENAN FAMILY FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED: FALL OF 2022

Purpose: Inspired by the experience of Shane Keenan ’11, the Keenan Family Foundation Scholarship was established from a desire to empower young men to pursue their goals and broaden opportunities through the completion of a postgraduate year of education, ultimately enhancing their communities and the world around us.

The Keenan Family Foundation Scholarship will be presented annually with preference given to applicants who hail from outside of the northeastern United States. The fund is intended to alleviate the recipients’ financial responsibilities so they may better focus on their education and community.

“The mission of the Keenan Family Foundation is to support and advance the proactive development of youth through entrepreneurship and education,” shares Shane. “Nothing advances this mission more than aiding in the education of young people. We are pleased to assist Bridgton in this effort and look forward to the future ahead.”
