Welcome from the Chair

WELCOME
from the
2023-2024 CHAIR OF

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Dear Poly Friends,

 

As I reflect on my tenure as Chair of the Board at Polytechnic School, I am filled with joy and gratitude. I express my heartfelt appreciation to my fellow Board members. Their resolute determination and commitment to excellence have been the cornerstone of our achievements together. Serving this exceptional community as Board Chair since 2021 has been a privilege beyond measure, and I find myself frequently reminiscing on the countless happy memories and milestones we have shared.

My personal journey with Poly began not as a Trustee but as a parent. My wife, Kirsten, and I have been blessed to have all three of our children benefit from the unparalleled education and nurturing environment Poly provides. Watching our youngest graduate last year was a poignant reminder of how meaningful this community has been in our family’s life.

 

Though I bid farewell to my role as Chair of the Board, I am confident that the future of Poly is brighter than ever. To the countless donors and supporters who have generously contributed to our success, please accept my sincerest appreciation. Your belief in us has been instrumental in shaping the extraordinary community we cherish today, which will no doubt continue inspiring future generations of leaders, scholars, and compassionate citizens.

 

Regards,

From the
HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear Poly Community,

 

When I arrived at Poly ten years ago, the Class of 2024 had just started third grade. Together, we embarked on a journey that would profoundly shape us. This period has put to test Poly’s unwavering commitment to excellence, and throughout it all, our community has shown resilience and a steadfast dedication to our values. I would be remiss if I didn’t thank Todd Molz for his extraordinary leadership during the past three years. His unwavering commitment to Poly and wise counsel played a pivotal role in our ability to honor our mission’s promise and navigate the challenges we have faced.

As I highlighted in my Commencement address in June, the strides we have made have been in no small part due to the talents, strengths, and acumen of Poly’s incredible students and faculty. Time and time again, our students uplift and challenge us, holding everyone at Poly accountable for our commitments to educational excellence, meaningful community outreach, impactful sustainability, and authentic inclusivity. Poly students are high-achieving scholars, artists, and athletes. They are the stewards of our future.

That we have remained true to our legacy of excellence throughout this era makes the theme of this year’s Report of Giving, “Excellence For All,” so deeply resonant. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring values and traditions that Poly has honored since our founding in 1907. It also encapsulates the dedication of our faculty and staff—whose efforts ensure that every Poly student realizes their fullest potential—as well as our vibrant and generous community of supporters.

 

Here’s to our next chapter together. Though we may continue to face unanticipated obstacles in this ever-changing world, one thing is certain: Poly—our students, faculty, staff, and families—will persevere and thrive, upholding our shared commitment to excellence.

 

With appreciation,
