T.C. “Charlie” Abbey devoted more than 50 years of his life to the education of young men and women. He was on the faculty at Newark Academy for 22 years, serving at various times as English Department Chair, Debate Coach, Director of Admission and Chairman of the Discipline Committee. Prior to coming to Newark Academy, Mr. Abbey taught for 31 years at the Holderness School in Plymouth, New Hampshire.
