“This news demonstrates, and affirms, the resilience and raw determination that is so prevalent in our students and our community. Not only did our students adapt to the massive spring disruption and reorganization of their normal AP preparation schedule, they responded by turning a challenge into an opportunity and posted the best scores in years. This is what it means to be a Titan.”  — Brian Easler, Head of School
