THE COUNTRY SCHOOL HOSTS SECONDARY SCHOOL NIGHT 

The Country School hosted a Secondary School Night on October 5th in its Field House. The event drew admission representatives from 19 independent day and boarding schools along the east coast, as well as Easton’s very own Saints Peter & Paul High School and Easton High School. Secondary school counseling has been a consistent part of the Upper School experience at TCS so that students and their parents are aware of the many options available to them for high school. The school also recently hired a dedicated high school counselor, long-time Country School teacher Katie Hertelendy, to assist families with this important decision. “We very much enjoyed welcoming and hosting these school representatives on the Country School campus,” says Jean Brune, Interim Head of School. “Our students are well positioned to take advantage of the strong academics, enrichment, and overall experiences offered by these top schools.”
