Dear Pingree Families,
As we launch into 2010 and settle into second semester, I am proud to share a mid-year overview of the exciting program work that is happening throughout the school. This document is organized by administrative department and written by members of the Administrative Team; all initiatives listed are the product of a student-centered community committed to excellence. Please do not hesitate to call or e-mail me tmjohnson@pingree.org if you have questions or seek additional information about the initiatives listed.

I also encourage you to visit our website for a review of institutional achievements since the introduction of the 2006 Strategic Plan. Starting with the Board of Trustees, there are many, many people to thank for these accomplishments.
Respectfully submitted,
Timothy M. Johnson
