FAREWELL LETTER
GAIL H. CANTRELL
D
espite the challenges of the pandemic, the faculty and staff at Tallulah Falls School have continued to provide our students with the best college preparatory experience possible, with graduates earning millions in college scholarships.
We continue to produce successful, happy students. We have a wireless campus, on-campus college joint enrollment classes and a beautiful campus. We paid off the note on the mens’ dorm and built a spectacular natatorium.
I am proud of the quality of our academic program, but also the family atmosphere that provides such a supportive environment for every student. Our academic success and strong character development program will make an impact that will reach worldwide.
Tallulah Falls School is fortunate to have a dedicated and highly committed board of trustees comprised of local leaders and leaders from across the state. These leaders will create a legacy of consistency, reliability and loyalty. Both student and faculty performance speak well for the school’s future. Our reputation is far-reaching, and students feel confident and optimistic about the future beyond their education at TFS.
Academics are undoubtedly strong, but TFS athletics teams and fine arts programs are also experiencing tremendous successes. I don’t know of many places where you can swim, ride a horse, play several types of team and individual sports, perform on stage, make a dessert, play a musical instrument, shoot an air rifle, or cook barbecue on the same day!
As chair of the board, I have learned something about where life takes us, about myself and my responsibilities as a leader. I have also learned that students, faculty and staff will work hard to achieve the high standards that are expected at TFS. Their greatest accomplishment is developing an attitude that will benefit and serve all humanity.
An excellent education leads to a lifetime of success, and I steadfastly believe you get that experience at Tallulah Falls School.
