Congratulations to the 2024 recipient of the Edward A. Arditti ’51 Award for Faculty Excellence: Connie Rafferty!
Established in 1995 by Edward Arditti ’51 and his son Ted ’94, this award honors a member of our faculty for excellence in teaching. This endowed fellowship is presented each year to a faculty member for his or her hard work and commitment to the students of Trinity-Pawling. Members of the faculty nominate this individual who, in their eyes, represents the teacher who deserves this honor because of commitment to one’s craft and dedication to one’s students.
In presenting the award on October 11, during Parents’ Weekend, Head of School Bill Taylor shared, “Connie’s creativity and vision have fueled a desire to share her gifts and talents with students and the larger School community.” … “Her classes are popular and create a catalyst for boys to unleash their own creative energy while regularly uplifting the spirits of the entire School community.”
He also shared comments submitted by Connie’s fellow faculty members:
“Connie has a unique skill set. She brings her talents to both the boys and the broader TPS community.”
“Connie does amazing work in the classroom. TPSN connects our community together and helps set us on a positive course for the week.”
“Without a doubt, she has transformed the lives of countless students as they discover the medium of video storytelling.”
