Head of School

Dear O’Neal Community, Over the last three years, O’Neal’s Leadership Academy has provided the opportunity for select student-athletes to reflect and plan how they can improve themselves, their teams and their school. This fall, members of Duke University’s performance coaching and sports psychology programs have gave workshops with the Academy members on personal excellence, overcoming challenges and functioning with a team. For the students as well as the adults present, these workshops provided some of the best professional development for anyone working in an organization.

One of the main focuses of the Duke workshops was the importance of organizational culture. One Duke workshop slide echoed the famous phrase by the management expert, Peter Drucker, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast, lunch and dinner so don’t leave it unattended.” Businesses, offices, schools, teams and classrooms all have cultures which are the shared behaviors, beliefs and values of the group, and the culture either improves the environment, progress and outcomes of the organization or hinders them.

Increasingly, all kinds of organizations have at least recognized the impact of culture, so for O’Neal’s Leadership Academy students to begin recognizing and talking about culture’s importance for their teams is an invaluable lesson that will serve them well in their careers.

Educational leaders understand that school culture plays a major role in the learning environment and growth of our students.

School communities, particularly independent school communities, may be vastly different depending on the region, family expectations, and leadership. Different schools can live their missions, reach their goals and be outstanding. It is the school’s culture, its norms and values, that creates the atmosphere for teaching and learning. The way students, families, teachers, coaches and administrators communicate, engage and support each other creates the school’s culture, and it is critical.

The O’Neal School has a unique and special school culture. We value our community, our teachers and the individuality of every student. In the articles that follow, readers will find examples of how O’Neal guides and supports students to discover their interests and maximize their accomplishments. Students learn analytical research from faculty members engaged in their own scholarly work. Independent studies allow students to explore a subject or interdisciplinary area. O’Neal’s programs at all levels provide opportunities for leadership and growth. The focus and care for the individual student is at the core of our school culture.

Sincerely,

John C. Elmore Head of School

James R. Miles

Community service was a focus for him. He started the Shoebox Christmas, similar to Operation Christmas Child, where families stuffed and decorated shoeboxes for children under the care of local organizations such as the Coalition for Human Care in the Sandhills and Guardian ad Litem. Project Linus was also a favorite, where lower school students would make blankets to give to law enforcement to have on hand when they needed one to comfort a young child or to keep someone warm.

J

In the Middle School each year, the James R. Miles Award is presented to the student who best displays qualities of determination, unselfishness, cooperation, enthusiasm, and involvement in daily school life. This person should personify the O’Neal student at his or her best, one of whom we are very proud and for whom we have great respect and affection.

ames R. (Jim) Miles joined O’Neal in its second year – 1972.

From Ypsilanti, Michigan, Jim graduated from North Central Michigan College in 1970 and from Eastern Michigan University, where he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree and his Michigan elementary provisional certificate in 1971. Fresh out of college, Jim, along with two others joined O’Neal’s teaching staff making a total of five. The need for the increase from the previous year was because the School was adding 7th and 8th grade resulting in a 4th -8th grade service offering. Jim was hired to teach social studies and run the physical education program.

After the construction of McMurray Hall Lower School, its atrium was dedicated to Jim in honor of his dedicated service to the School. Before his career at O’Neal ended, Jim served as Dean of Faculty and Director of Studies and successfully carried O’Neal through its dual accreditation with the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

For 38 years, Jim worked at O’Neal. He saw the School grow from serving students in a mere few grades to seeing it expand to a full Prek- 12th grade college preparatory school. From coaching to teaching to directing, Jim served many roles. In the beginning, all faculty members had multiple roles. He started the Falcon Day Camp, O’Neal’s summer day camp that has now expanded tremendously through the years. A good portion of his time at O’Neal was served as Lower School Director and he saw the first building as well as its replacement constructed to house lower school students.

“When I first hired Jim as a teacher, we also gave him a stipend to serve as the custodian for our campus, ” reflects former O’Neal Headmaster Bob Haarlow. “He wore so many hats – coach, yearbook advisor, bus driver, mentor, administrator, club advisor, summer camp director... but first and foremost Jimbo was a teacher in the broadest sense. Teaching is where Jim demonstrated his love for children. He was unmatched, just a natural at his craft.”

O'Neal won its first state championship in golf in 1979 with Jim Miles as coach. The team went on to win two more consecutive state championships in 1980 and 1981.

through her foundation and is starting to get her daughter involved in hopes that its purpose will carry on. Through her foundation, Heidi continues to support O’Neal.

Heidi thinks of O’Neal as a place for opportunity to provide an environment for growth on many different levels. There is a certain tenderness for O'Neal. “We’ve seen O’Neal go through many challenges and it has survived,” remarks Heidi. “There is a calling on this school and it’s an honor to support these people who are here every day. O’Neal is like this wonderful family that continues to bloom among all of the issues in this world. Its continuity speaks volumes.”

I

n the beginning, when a small group of parents came together to establish a college preparatory, private school in the Sandhills, Mary Elaine Meyer O’Neal was gracious to donate 20 acres of land along Airport Road in Southern Pines for the institution only asking that the school be named after her recently deceased husband, Wallace O’Neal. The Wallace O’Neal Day School opened in the fall of 1971. In 1984, Mary Elaine’s daughter, Heidi Hall Jones, donated another 20 acres to establish the present day O’Neal School campus.

The Meyer Family donated land earlier for the construction of Sandhills Community College. According to Heidi, her mother, a Meyer daughter, thought her land contribution would “close the parenthesis” and make the education statement complete.

“Our family carries a tradition of philanthropy,” remarks Heidi.

“My grandfather understood the importance of giving back and my mother was a very generous person. For my family, it is a natural gesture of how to be of service.”

“My mother was larger than life,” says Heidi. When she was in the 6th grade, Mary Elaine took Heidi out of school and travelled around the world by boat for a year. Heidi rode elephants in India, spent time in places like Hong Kong, South Africa, and China. Her schoolwork was to write a report for every place they docked. “She was fabulous,” remarks Heidi. “Her heart was right.”

Monte Carlo Night 1977 O’Neal is celebrating 50 years in 2021. As the Falcons continue the “Flight to 50”, historical markers will be spotlighted along the way.

In 1999, the Meyer Family Foundation was split among the Meyer grandchildren. Heidi named her foundation The Golden Pearl Foundation. She takes pride in the family tradition of philanthropy 4

Anne Friesen '81 is Woman of the Year

By Blanche Slade Hancock '88

he O’Neal Class of 1999 enjoyed a fun afternoon and evening together on Saturday, October 5th. About half of the class, most joined by spouses and children, was able to make the trip to the Sandhills to celebrate their 20th year as graduates of O’Neal.

They enjoyed a luncheon on campus, which included special guests Bob Howell, Robin Prim, and Beth Whitman. Lunch was filled with lots of laughter and stories while a slideshow of old pictures played. The group continued catching up and reminiscing while on a tour of campus. They then took a break before reconvening for a ‘grown-ups only’ dinner at a local restaurant. All indications are that their evening out was fantastic as they recalled their time as Falcons.

The Moore County Community Foundation, an affiliate of the North Carolina Community Foundation, awarded Anne Friesen ’81 as Woman of the Year for 2019. She was recognized at a special ceremony, along with Man of the Year Hugh Bingham. An excerpt from the event program reads the following: Helping people through some of the lowest points of their lives is part of the day-to-day for Friesen, who has directed Friend to Friend, the County’s only nonprofit organization serving survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking, since 2010. Last year, the agency served 350 clients and moved 71 percent of them into safe housing.

Friend to Friend staff has provided more than 3,000 counseling sessions, and its Serenity House shelter has provided nearly 7,000 days of care to clients and their children.

Friesen took the lead on building that shelter, which opened in 2012, a year after a fire destroyed its previous facility. While coordinating temporary shelter for Friend to Friend clients, Friesen rallied resources to cover the entire cost of building what is now an energy-efficient 26-bed building. Serenity House was named the N.C. Housing Finance Agency’s “Model Shelter of the Year” when it opened.

Friesen earned a doctorate of education in Leadership and Professional Practices in 2018. She also holds certifications in nonprofit management and executive leadership from Harvard University’s Kennedy School and Duke University.

Falcon Health Practitioners Give Advice S

ituated in the midst of a strong medical community, 20% of O’Neal’s student enrollment has at least one parent who carries a doctorate degree in medicine, dentistry or other. This rate has remained consistent for many years. It is only befitting for a strong number of O’Neal graduates to pursue a similar career path. The following are a few spotlights from the many Falcons who are working in the medical/dental field or are “seeing the light” at the end of the tunnel of the long arduous uphill climb in achieving their specialty.

Daniel McCall '09 is an Internal Medicine Resident at Dartmouth Hitchcock in New Hampshire.

Having grown up marveling at the way his parents, both clinicians, spoke to one another about their patients, Daniel always felt that he wanted to have a medical career.

After graduating from O’Neal, Daniel went to Wake Forest University where he obtained a BS in biology, with a minor in chemistry. He also researched the ethics of short term medical volunteer work on scholarship and was rewarded with a journal publication. He took one year off to work as a counselor at a special needs camp, enroll in culinary school, study for MCAT, and travel. He then returned to Wake Forest in 2014 for medical school. At the conclusion of his current internal medicine residency at Dartmouth Hitchcock, Daniel plans to take a year off before pursuing a fellowship in gastroenterology, which will be an additional three to four years of work.

Daniel cites the importance and pleasure found in the light bulb moments of his daily work “There are few things more rewarding/ fulfilling than being the one responsible for putting all the puzzle pieces together and forever changing someone’s life,” says Daniel.

“You can really feel like a Sherlock Holmes sometimes.”

He would like to share what he calls the best advice that he ever received, and that is to not become so preoccupied by your next test that you forgot to appreciate the present. There is always another exam on the horizon and studying is a lot easier when you are happy.

Caroline Cordell Day '08 is a Certified Physician Assistant in Dermatology, with a master’s

degree in medical science, practicing with the physicians at Pinehurst Dermatology. Caroline says that she knew as an O’Neal student taking AP biology with Ms. Carr that she wanted to become a medical professional. While in O’Neal’s Upper School, she made sure to take AP sciences for the preparation and the college hours. She then earned her undergraduate biology and psychology degrees at UNC Chapel Hill. While at UNC, Caroline joined a UNC psychology research lab. After UNC, she spent a year and a half earning her required clinical hours as a dermatology medical assistant, as this is required for PA applications. Caroline then attended the Wake Forest School of Medicine PA Studies program for two years, followed by 18 months of an optional general surgery residency at REX Hospital in Raleigh.

Caroline’s favorite part of her work is surgery. She really enjoys being able to perform many types of dermatology surgeries and procedures, and this is due to the general surgery residency she completed right after PA school. “The PA route is an efficient and cost effective way to achieve the ability to practice medicine and perform procedures in the US and especially in N.C.,” advises Caroline. “Voted one of the top two ‘best bargain’ masters’ degrees by Forbes with very high career satisfaction rates. If you go to college knowing you want to be a PA, go ahead and spend each summer within college earning the clinical hours necessary to apply so that you can apply your senior year. Necessary hours are between 500-2000 hours and differ between PA programs.”

Michael Cowherd '05 is a Cardiovascular Disease Fellow through UNC-Chapel Hill School of

Medicine. Michael’s educational path toward his medical degree was forged primarily at UNC, where he earned his undergraduate degree, his medical degree, and is now achieving his cardiology fellowship. Michael completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Colorado.

Since he was in elementary school, he thought he wanted to be a doctor like his father. Michael had a slight change of mind in high school and early in college. He gained experience working in other areas, not certain that medicine was right for him. Ultimately, he realized that taking care of people is a privilege that can be hard to find in other fields, so he decided to pursue a career as a MD. When asked about the favorite part of his work, Michael responds: “The relationship you develop with a patient is unique - they trust you with their lives when they are the most vulnerable. It is a huge responsibility that can be challenging, but making a positive difference in someone's life is definitely the best part of my job.”

He suggests the following to students considering careers in medicine: Volunteer at your local hospital. Shadow different physicians around your hometown. It looks good on a college application, but more importantly, the experience will help you decide if medicine is the right profession for you. Also - recognize there are multiple possible avenues to have a fulfilling career in health care. People like nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and many others have very important roles in patient care.

Mandy Kuhn Grimshaw '91 is a dentist in Aberdeen. She practices general dentistry with an

emphasis on sleep apnea, TMD treatment, orthodontics and full mouth rehabilitation. Mandy did not jump straight into dentistry. In fact, it was several years after graduating with her business degree from UNC-Chapel Hill. She worked in commercial banking, publishing, and resort sales before returning to UNC-Pembroke to take science classes that she needed for the UNC School of Dentistry.

“I most enjoy helping others, working with great people and having the freedom to choose how I provide treatment and whom I surround myself with,” says Mandy. “I also love being able to continually grow professionally by being a lifelong learner. Dentistry is very entrepreneurial if you allow yourself to explore the opportunities.”

Mandy suggests that students interested in dentistry pick a major that is not medically oriented, take the necessary classes to qualify for dental school, while ensuring that you have experiences that make you more well-rounded. Work in dentistry, learn everything you can from every person in dentistry, including the administrative team, the assistants, the hygienists, and the dentist. It is a team that helps one succeed. Always be open and realize your formal education is just the start. Be committed to continuing education and find great mentors. Mandy believes that ‘in the end, your success is determined by continually learning, implementing what you learn, surrounding yourself with a great team, and realizing that the path least taken can result in the greatest satisfaction.’

Ritt Kuhn - parent and former student - is a general dentist in Aberdeen whose focus is on

dental implant rehabilitation and sedation dentistry. He always had an interest in life sciences, for which he credits Ms. Carr, and enjoyed working with his hands. His father showed him that dentistry was the perfect blend of the two and he feels lucky to have joined the family business. After spending 10 years at O’Neal, Ritt went to UNC – Chapel Hill for his undergraduate studies. He later earned his dental degree from the University of Kentucky.

Ritt really enjoys working with people to rehabilitate and restore what has been lost. When he helps to give people a smile that is beautiful and functional, it can be a positive change in their life.

For students considering a similar path to his, Ritt recommends finding a dental office to observe the profession, then visit a few more. He explains that dentistry is wonderfully diverse and can offer many styles of practice. He suggests that students learn what is out there before they decide if it is right for them.

An Intellectual Point of View When Language and History Converge

By Drs. Nicole Camastra and Ryan Staude Doctors Nicole Camastra and Ryan Staude chair the English and History departments, respectively, at The O’Neal School.

Dr. Camastra taught at the University of Georgia before joining O’Neal in 2017. Dr. Staude worked at independent schools in Los Angeles and New Jersey before coming to O’Neal in 2018.

Both are still engaged in the scholarly discourses of their fields (American literature for Dr. Camastra and early American history and film studies for Dr. Staude), and both continue to present research at conferences and publish widely. They have been jointly working to align research and writing skills across the English and History curricula since January 2019.

T

he writing curriculum at O’Neal overall utilizes a workshop model. Objectives in the kindergarten classroom reflect different pedagogical expectations from those of the Upper School.

The Writers Workshop presently in place for grades K – 8 provides the foundation for the upper school curriculum that emphasizes three rhetorical modes of composition: personal narrative, expository, and argumentative writing. As with the Lower and Middle School, writing at every level involves a protracted and recursive approach. Drafts are written over several days with class 10

time devoted to composition, peer review, and instructor feedback.

Moreover, students use their own writing as the learning text for our grammar workshops. The classroom environment aids students in discovering their own compositional patterns; consequently, they can claim agency over a process that might otherwise elude them. Giving students a literal language with which to identify, understand, and improve writing helps change their fundamental attitudes toward it. How often do students complain that English is too subjective or that they are math and science minded, or, worst of all, that they are bad writers? Removing the moral judgment from writing is our first major challenge, for students primarily need to learn that language shapes thought, and when they think of their writing as “bad,” they inadvertently assign a moral judgment to something that is an academic process, which improves over time with diligent effort. This model and rhetorical modes of writing are very similar to those found in almost all freshman writing courses at colleges across the country. They are not so frequently used, however, at the secondary level. In this way, O’Neal graduates will be well poised to understand what is expected of them once they make the shift to college composition, both in freshman year and beyond.

Encouraging students’ investment in their own writing requires not only knowledge of how to fix the errors that bother them but also space enough to identify and explore topics that interest them. The new writing requirements ask students at every level in the Upper School to produce research-driven papers in a way that incorporates student-led intellectual inquiry, library research, extended drafting and revising, and, finally, oral presentation. The process is a protracted one, comprising almost the entire academic year. In AP English classes, for example, students must write a research paper of at least ten pages. Far from the relatively prescribed thematic focus of the class, students are instead invited to choose any topic under a rather large umbrella. Prompted into outrage by the obsessive fixation on physical images of the feminine form on social media, one student tied her research of eating disorders and young people to our reading of Henry James’s “The Real Thing.”

Ultimately, she presented her findings to the Upper School and prompted her peers to consider how their relative definitions of what is “real” can work against their desire to assume personal agency in a world of filtered selfies and curated life experiences.

Encouraging students’ investment in their own writing requires not only knowledge of how to fix the errors that bother them but also space enough to identify and explore topics that interest them.

A similar philosophy of encouraging students’ ownership of their education motivates a new addition to the O’Neal history curriculum: the History Honors Research Seminar. The course is meant to provide students with an opportunity to explore, in depth, a topic that interests them while also teaching them the skills they will need to research and write a college-level term paper. Beginning with topic selection in the fall, the students work through every step of the research process in close consultation with the instructor. The final product is a 20-page paper which is presented in a scholarly forum at year’s end. As the history department undertakes the process of vertically aligning research skills, the research seminar will eventually serve as a culminating course in the department’s curriculum – a chance for students to showcase the skills they have developed since fifth grade.

In addition to teaching concrete academic skills such as responsibly using the Internet for research and synthesizing large amounts of information, the course also challenges students to foster a deep engagement with the topic they select. In other words, the class encourages students to view themselves as intellectuals, actively creating scholarship which will be argued over and discussed.

In order to succeed students must be persistent in following the paths where their research leads, patient in contemplating their conclusions, and organized in assembling their findings.

Ultimately, as with all humanities courses, the class gives the students a pathway into the life of the mind.

While classes in English and history naturally vary, their shared focus on extended research and sustained writing bolsters O’Neal’s commitment to developing in students a facility with language and commitment to a point of view. Our new curricular standards will help students discover the confidence that comes with slow writing and careful consideration, with taking the time to understand what and why we think.

Answering the

Essential Questions Middle School End of Year Projects

M

iddle School…the entrance to the mysterious world of adolescence. It’s a place where students experience more pressures, more decision making and a search for oneself. Middle school age students are in the midst of the struggle to make sense of the world around them and their role within it. In education, their search brings forward healthy inquiries: “Why am I learning this?” “How does what I’m learning in math connect with what I’m learning in English?” Education and learning cannot be just memorization of facts and figures, but more importantly, how knowledge of what is taught is utilized in the real world. For this reason, essential questions are important to use in education. End of Year Projects (EOYPs) in Middle School are a great example.

Last spring, middle school students were given the theme Revolution. Each grade was assigned certain essential questions that fed into this theme to research and assemble into a showcase to present. Assessed skills crossed subject areas.

For instance, eighth grade students were given the essential question: “What is Good Trouble?” – Students were tasked with the production of a short film to be shown before the Middle School student body. Within each group of 4 or 5 students, 12

there were specific roles – director, producer, researcher, story developer, script writer, performers, artistic director and editor.

The skills assessed crossed Art – is there demonstration of the elements and principles of art in creation of the film poster?

Drama/Theater – covering dramatic writing composition/structure, blocking and acting/design aesthetics. English – narrative writing, film theory, essaying. History – argument, research/evidence, historical connections / context. Math – creation of a balanced budget allocating how to use funds to support the project. Music – description of how music can stir up trouble, a soundtrack for the film containing original and found music supporting the emotional arc of the film while highlighting various film composing techniques. Science – addressing the idea of “good trouble” in a scientific manner. World Language – create a movie poster in Spanish or French, with premiere date and 2-line hook.

Seventh grade students were given the essential question: “How does conflict influence change?” The students were divided into groups of 4 or 5 and given a specific genetic engineering topic.

The group had to decide whether the specific area of genetic engineering was beneficial or detrimental to the world. Based on their viewpoint, they conducted research to support it. They

used science, history and English to research the topic and write a paper. They used their math skills to collect and analyze polling data. For Language, they created a poster highlighting certain idiomatic expressions showing how opinions can be stated and how to respond to the opinion of others. Students taking the music elective had to contribute to an original composition for pre-panel and post-panel music. Theater students worked on stage concept and design for the final panel discussion. Art students created backdrops for the stage. The final presentation was a timed panel discussion on the theater stage, sharing the groups’ viewpoints before the rest of the Middle School student body.

Sixth grade students created websites where they displayed their research, analysis and exploration of individuals, discoveries and ideas guided by the essential question: “How and Why do we challenge the status quo?” Students investigated influential people such as historical figures, artists, musicians, political activists, mathematicians and schools of thought. The website featured a reflection about how and why individuals over time have challenged the status quo and a personal statement about how and why the student planned to challenge their own, personal status quo. Subpages were designed to report on material learned in each of the academic disciplines.

The fifth grade had a 2-part question: “How can I be a catalyst for change in the context of the ancient world? What changed/ revolutionized the world?” Part I was to choose an ancient invention and write a research paper giving history and information about the invention and convincing readers why this invention has truly changed the world. The second part was to invent, create, design, or brainstorm a world-changing advancement, complete with prototype and explanation of how the invention will change the world.

Pictured Above: A clip from a movie produced by 8th grade students. Seventh grade students prepare for their panel discussion. Below: 8th graders designed posters advertising their movies in their World Language classes.

“We are in the process of reviewing and reflecting on the EOYPs that students did last year,” states Dean of Middle School Miryah Walters. “Last year’s projects were a good starting point with teachers designing projects that included many content areas centered on a common theme and essential questions. As we look to roll out this year’s EOYPs in the coming months, we have started meeting to ensure the projects are relevant and fresh. A highlight of last year’s projects was the 8th grade films. Students got a lot out the process with regard to collaboration, planning, meeting deadlines and being creative. The project truly incorporated 21st century skills and learning beyond the walls of the classroom.”

The division-wide effort to close out the school year with thought provoking material is an effective way to apply all of the subjects taught in Middle School for one important result that will resonate long into the future for O’Neal’s middle school students.

eturning to campus for the start of the new school year, faculty, staff, and students were welcomed by new spaces, course offerings, devices, and tech tools. The generosity of the 2019 Fund-a-Need contributions facilitated the numerous 21st century advancements evident in each division.

a filament frenzy in the lab as students work with CAD software to prototype and design their own unique creations! From vases and pencil containers, to shower drains, folding rulers, hat racks, miniature cars, and even kazoos, students are enjoying exploring the fascinating world of 3D printing.

Several student-centered updates were made to the McMurray Library. The library added flexible and collaborative seating areas as well as a Green Screen recording room to encourage and extend learning beyond the classroom. Students in theater and arts courses are working to discover the power of digital media and learning to use Green Screen technology to create and edit video. To aid and increase student research, the McMurray Library renewed subscriptions to the digital database EBSCO and added JSTOR. Available to students and faculty, JSTOR is a scholarly library providing access to peer-reviewed academic journal articles, books, and primary sources.

In the Falcon Lab you will find several new devices used to enhance the burgeoning Explorations in Technology program for younger Middle School students. Students in this course are exploring 21st Century technological advancements while gaining foundational skills in computer programming and coding using Scratch and Code.org. Students are learning to develop Augmented and Virtual reality environments using Merge Cubes in Cospaces.io while also learning the basics behind 3D design.

Adjacent to the McMurray Library is the completely remodeled and state-of-the-art Falcon Lab. The centerpieces of the lab are two new Prusa 3D printers. The addition of these mechanical marvels led to the creation of a semester long 3D elective for Upper School students and two yearlong Middle School 3D printing clubs. It is

Students in Lower and Middle School are developing an understanding of basic robotics. Lab spaces are often filled with rolling robots as students navigate block and visual coding to control and program devices. Sphero Bolts have been added to the curriculum as well as Dash, app-enabled wireless bots. Lower School students are learning to program and code using Botley Bots and Jack and Colby Coding Mice. This year, courtesy of BirdBrain Technologies, The O’Neal School was awarded the use of ten loaner Finch Bots. The bots are coded using a Scratch extension and respond to light, temperature, and obstacles. They are another meaningful way for students to explore computer programming. Students are looking forward taking part in the Hour of Code, part of National Computer Science Week in December, to showcase and share their new skills. O’Neal students will enjoy campus wide coding events designed to encourage exploration of computer science concepts.

None of this would be possible without the addition of new hardware for faculty and students. Teachers were given new laptops to aid classroom instruction, and the IT department worked diligently to run additional fiber, upgrade access points, install new projectors, and place document cameras in all classrooms.

O’Neal is working to roll out a “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) Program in the Upper School. A BYOD initiative allows students to select and bring devices of their choosing into the classroom.

Students in the Lower and Middle School can access new Chromebooks and iPads provided by the school. Storage carts

Niasha's writing utensils provide the same benefits, but are less noisy and doesn't draw attention away from the work at hand.

"The student can quietly fidget with the different textures on these holders for pens/pencils and highlighters without needing to stop writing," comments Niasha.

and unique tech-based course offerings and provide professional development opportunities for Faculty interested in learning best practices on the meaningful integration of technology in the classroom. In the meantime, The O’Neal School is moving full STEAM ahead. We are proud of all that we have accomplished, and we believe we are working in the right direction to build a strong 21st century foundation for our community.

Project Based Learning (PBL) is an important component of instruction here at O’Neal. To enhance PBL, the Middle school enjoyed a significant renovation to the Makerspace. This colorful room is designed for use by all teachers and students. Whether students are working on projects large or small, group work, or creative design; the Makerspace is stocked with well-organized supplies. The space houses Makerspace essentials like glitter, glue guns, cardboard, and construction paper; but it also contains additional computers, Makey Makey Circuit kits, engineering supplies, Microcontrollers, and handheld tools for tinkering. The Makerspace is enjoyed regularly by many classrooms and weekly

by STEAM club students. STEAM club is just one new addition to our growing after school club programs.

Kari Smith became the educational technology specialist for O'Neal after spending many years in the lower school classroom.

She recently completed her M. Ed. in Learning Design and Technology from NC State.

Cultivating

Emotional Intelligence

The O'Neal Leadership Academy Contributors: James Franklin & David Williamson

T

he Leadership Academy camp unified 23 students and seven coaches in the span of three days to work towards growing individually and collectively as athletic leaders at The O’Neal School.

In its third year, The O’Neal School Leadership Academy continues to focus on developing emotional intelligence in student-athlete leaders. From team building activities to guest speakers and self-reflection, coaches and student-athletes used this summer’s Leadership Academy camp as a springboard into the 2019-2020 school year.

The camp, which ran the final three days of July, began off-campus at the National Athletic Village. O’Neal coaching staff opened the first day by reviewing the fundamentals of emotional intelligence.

Student- athletes began to identify their personal core values and were introduced to the concept of writing commitment statements.

Working together in their small groups led by their coaches, student-athletes stretched themselves through these reflective activities. The night ended with a shared experience that quickly broke the ice and helped build leadership academy team bonds—a nerf gun war.

Day two was highlighted by guest speakers, Dan Perlmutter and Shawn Zeplin from Duke University. Mr. Perlmutter, the associate director of Olympic Sports Performance and Mr. Zeplin, the director of Behavioral Health for Athletics, discussed resiliency

in sports and beyond. Their talk touched on various physical, mental, and psychological factors involved in developing and maintaining resiliency for individual athletes and teams. Similarly, they highlighted the ways that they help the student-athletes at Duke deal with adversity and develop resiliency through their team training programs, the work of Mr. Zeplin and his colleagues, and the mindfulness routines taught to student-athletes. Through special anecdotes, Mr. Zeplin and Mr. Perlmutter portrayed how student-athletes can use resiliency training to help contribute to team success, develop leadership skills, and maintain a healthy balance between school, sport, and the rest of their lives.

“Coach Perlmutter and Dr. Zeplin’s presentation resonated with each individual, coach and student-athlete at various levels.” reflected James Franklin, O’Neal athletic director. “They had thoroughly prepared for our students and had genuine knowledge of where we are as a program. They connected with each of us and their impact and guidance is paying dividends in our approach moving forward.”

On the final evening of camp, there was a healthy balance of reflective culminating work and good old fashion competition and fun! Bubble soccer and a team obstacle race sparked endless laughs, enthusiastic rivalries and ultimately formed stronger bonds between the 23 Leadership Academy attendees that will stick with them throughout the school year.

2019-2020 Leadership Academy student athletes and guest speakers Dan Perlmutter and Shaun Zeplin.

The core of the evening revolved around the culmination of the commitment statements. The student-athletes worked with their coaches to finalize their commitment statements and ultimately create a vision of their commitment as an O’Neal student-athlete leader this school year. In the closing ceremony, each studentathlete presented their commitment statement in front of the group, highlighting the collective responsibility shared amongst these 23 student-athletes to work together, hold each other accountable, and support one another in their quest to lead their peers this year on the fields court, pool, track and beyond.

After his follow-up with student-athletes, Mr. Perlmutter was kind enough to give a professional development session to O’Neal coaches called “Culture Eats Strategy for Lunch.”

Lt. Col. John Samples, O’Neal parent and trustee, spearheaded the creation of the Leadership Academy. “We have gifted young men and women at O’Neal,” he states. “We want to develop their skill sets of confidence, resilience, communication, trust, and goal setting in order to turn exceptional individuals into extraordinary teams.”

“Great leaders move us with passion and energy,” says Coach Franklin. “Our leadership academy provides our student-athlete leaders with the tools to ignite better performances from their teammates. This type of emotional intelligence growth opportunity is very unique and proves O’Neal to be a trailblazer in leadership development.”

I am the best post player and thrower. I am hardworking in practice and strive to achieve goals. I am coach-able and I can take constructive criticism from my teammates. I work to improve myself and I encourage my teammates to be confident and excited about the sport they play.

This presentation helped give the coaches tools to guide their players through the development of the mental toughness and resiliency. It was designed as a way to set team goals and standards that apply the appropriate value and commitment to a positive team culture instead of focusing just on traditional performance metrics.

Looking ahead, the Leadership Academy will continue to build on momentum established during their time at camp with a yearlong curriculum. Student-athletes and academy coaches will meet bimonthly or monthly and further develop the group’s leadership skills as well as complete the pillars of the academy’s curriculum.

“The skills learned to be successful on the courts, diamond, and field will also be applicable in the hallways and classrooms,” shares LTC Samples. “Our goal is that our student-athletes will be leaders in and out of uniform, helping to improve our overall O’Neal community. ‘All boats will rise with the tide’”.

Commitment Statement by Beka Carr To participate in the O’Neal Leadership Academy, student-athletes must be nominated by two athletic coaches. They then must attend an interest meeting and give a verbal commitment to the program.

As a follow-up to the summer session, Mr. Perlmutter came to meet with the Leadership Academy student-athletes this fall. His message covered reaching outside of one’s comfort zone and embracing little inconveniences during the day. The importance of developing a daily routine and process that provides consistency and structure was a big take-away in helping student-athletes succeed and overcome the challenges that they were encouraged to seek out. Mr. Perlmutter also heard from the student-athletes as they shared some of the obstacles they were working on. He gave individual feedback and suggestions and pledged to stay involved with the student-athletes’ journey this year.
