with 150 students coming from all manner of places and backgrounds. More than half of them are boarders, but many are day students — like our son was — whose families have moved to the area for the unique life they find on “the hill.” High Mowing will become a standard bearer for Waldorf high school teachers and administrators, with its improved and expanded faculty housing, biodynamic kitchen and amazing academic, art, music, and extra-curricular programs. Our new gymnasium and performance space will result in the expansion of our extracurricular activities, not to mention our athletic program. It will be the “center of gravity” for life after school, not Steve Lewers only for Pine Hill and High Mowing families, President, but for other groups as well . . . drawing the Board of Trustees wider community to our campus. Our graduating seniors, well prepared academically and High Mowing School socially, will head off to excellent colleges or well-chosen endeavors. Students arriving on our campus — wondering who they are and what they might become — leave four years later with a sense of purpose and unfolding destiny and a commitment to bring their best efforts to the challenges before them.
