\n MEET THE PREFECTS<\/a>\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n Read More<\/a> »<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Each spring at Trinity-Pawling, a small group of rising seniors are elected as prefects for the upcoming year. Derived from the Latin word for “leader”, prefects are voted in by the student body and faculty, serving as student leaders and modeling the School\u2019s ideals of honor, respect, and hard work.<\/p>\n

This past May, as the School community gathered on Zoom for its first-ever virtual Stepping-Up Ceremony, eight prefects were elected for the 2020-2021 school year \u2014 earning the honor by demonstrating their commitment to the School and most importantly, to their peers. In September, the group began their duties (both remotely and in-person), ready to rise to the challenge of a never-before-seen Fall Term at Trinity-Pawling.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a snapshot into the Class of 2021 Prefects and their plans for the year ahead:<\/p>\n

Peter Claro \u201921, Head Prefect <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Somers, New York<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 4<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Cooking Italian food, traveling, history, playing\/watching sports<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, the School is heading into uncharted territory, and my goal is to be a source of resilience for the community. To me, being a prefect means being willing to take on any challenge \u2014 especially in a special year like this. No one earns the role of prefect because it\u2019s easy. It\u2019s a challenge, and that\u2019s what\u2019s so great about it. I won\u2019t always have all the answers, but I will give my best effort to make this a year to remember. And I couldn\u2019t ask for a better group of prefects to help me along the way!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Stuart Phillips \u201921, Junior Prefect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Port Coquitlam, British Columbia<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 3<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Playing\/watching sports, ATVing, watching movies<\/p>\n

\u201cI will share the academic and zeal prefect duties this year with Tommy and Michael. For academics, Tommy and I will oversee the academic wellness of the student body and advocate for our brothers, both in-person and remote. As the prefects of zeal, Michael and I will look to keep school spirit up in this time when we could all use it! With such a unique year ahead of us, I believe it\u2019s more important than ever to listen to the student body. It\u2019s our job to make sure their voices are heard. It\u2019s an absolute honor to be Junior Prefect this year and I will lead with integrity, honesty, and kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Toby Berner \u201921<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Brookfield, Connecticut<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 3<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Drawing\/painting, playing lacrosse and hockey, skiing, hiking, Star Wars, and running<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the prefect of art, I plan to encourage all my classmates to enroll in a new art class this year. I also want to work with Mr. Poon, Mr. Burnham, and Mr. Avis to incorporate more art-related activities outside of the classroom. Being in this leadership position, I know the importance of leading by example. There is so much strength in being helpful, kind, and a good role model. Kindness and integrity are contagious, so the actions of one person, especially a student leader, can have a positive effect on many people every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Michael Fritz \u201921<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Gibsonia, Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 2<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Watching movies and The Office, music (80\u2019s rock), playing guitar, playing hockey and lacrosse, and history<\/p>\n

\u201cWith such a dynamic year in front of us, I think it\u2019s very important to boost the positivity and enthusiasm around campus. Although we do not have competitive fall sports this year, as the prefect of zeal, I plan to keep the energy high among the student body. With the hybrid Fall Term, we\u2019ve been given a challenge that no other classes have faced. I am confident that this group of prefects will do anything we can to make it the best it can be. My father was also a prefect when he attended Trinity-Pawling, and there\u2019s something special about being part of the T-P family, while continuing our family legacy at the same time. I consider myself so lucky to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Peilun \u201cTommy\u201d Li \u201921<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Beijing, China<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 4<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Traveling, reading, running, and playing squash and tennis<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a prefect of academics, along with Stuart, my responsibility is to positively influence the learning experiences of our brothers. Although being a remote prefect is challenging, I am dedicated to listening to the voices of all students \u2014 especially those who are remote this year. I will pay extra attention to the academic environment to help ensure that we all have great educational experiences. From my perspective, my role as prefect gives me a chance to help others and create a more inclusive, caring community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Nolan MacLear \u201921<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Jupiter, Florida<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 4<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Computer science, board games, finance, rec volleyball, skiing, cooking, and fishing<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, I am proud to carry out the role of the community prefect. I hope to use the power of technology to keep everyone connected, both on campus and remotely. For me, being a prefect means standing up for effort, integrity, and kindness. Whether it\u2019s organizing service trips (when we\u2019re able to leave campus) or simply checking on the general health of our community, it\u2019s my job to make sure the brotherhood\u2019s bond stays strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Jackson McAvoy \u201921<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Poughquag, New York<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 6<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Film, theater, American history, food (eating, not so much cooking), and writing<\/p>\n

\u201cMy responsibility as the prefect of victuals is to oversee all of the meals on campus. During a year of such fragility and uncertainty, I\u2019m hoping that good food can be at least one source of comfort for students. Although I am a Day Student and can only eat meals in McGraw (I miss Scully Hall!), I will do my best to make any difference I can in on-campus dining. My hope is that the boys can use me as a voice this year, for victuals and any other concerns they may have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Mingcheng \u201cKevin\u201d Zhong \u201921<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hometown: Shanghai, China<\/p>\n

Years at Trinity-Pawling: 3<\/p>\n

Interests\/Hobbies: Traveling, environmental science, veganism, skiing, cycling, puzzles, and Rubik\u2019s cube<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, I am the prefect of honor and academics. As a remote prefect, it\u2019s difficult to connect with students the way I normally would on campus. However, I will make as many virtual appearances as possible \u2014 through all-school meetings, chapel services, sharing weekly articles from The Phoenix<\/em>, and more. Although I am a prefect, in my opinion, you don’t need a title to be a good leader. You can lead by example, or quietly behind the scenes. As a good leader, you don’t need to receive praise for what you do. You just do the best you can to make the community a better place. That\u2019s what I plan to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n ACADEMIC SPOTLIGHT: THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE<\/a>\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n Read More<\/a> »<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

Headmaster Taylor\u2019s American Experience course comprises a diligent group of senior and PG students, providing deep and comprehensive insight into American history and the narrative of American Exceptionalism. Sitting in his class, one sees Mr. Taylor\u2019s fluent knowledge of the delicate blend of religious, individual, and political climates that coincide to make the United States a country like no other in the world.<\/p>\n

The course is unique because it has a dual literature component taught by John Teaford. The same students are afforded Teaford\u2019s fictional anecdote to Taylor\u2019s historical facets for a wholly synergistic impetus. \u201cHaving Mr. Taylor\u2019s class really makes my job a lot easier,\u201d Teaford said. \u201cWhen the students are assigned a 15-page paper, they get to come into my class and now I have a backdrop to teach with.\u201d Currently, students are reading The Scarlet Letter<\/em> with Mr. Teaford while Mr. Taylor examines the landscape of colonial America as religious autonomy dictated colonial identity.<\/p>\n

Originally proposed in 1995, Headmaster Taylor has adapted and expanded the course to capture advanced students in asking the big questions of American identity: What are American myths and why are they important? Why is there tension in our history between personal liberty and the quest for the common good? What role does religion play in the creation of the American Experience? Is American democracy a civic virtue in the nation\u2019s experience?<\/p>\n

Now, as much as ever, asking those questions can help lead students to understand the richness of this nation with so many components worth celebrating, while simultaneously examining historical problems that will necessitate their dedicated attention in the future.<\/p>\n

\n FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: SAM CLOUGHER<\/a>\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n Read More<\/a> »<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n

\u201cMy goal is to give all students a platform to have their voices heard \u2014 here on campus and out in the world,\u201d began Sam Clougher, Director of Equity and Inclusion at Trinity-Pawling.<\/p>\n

Clougher joined the School community as a history and economics teacher in the summer of 2017. He also serves as an advisor, dorm parent, and Head Coach for varsity soccer and varsity tennis. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, Clougher first immigrated to the United States to attend Berkshire for a postgraduate year, and then matriculated at Kenyon College. It was at Kenyon, he said, that he discovered his passion for civic engagement, leadership, and making a difference in a community.<\/p>\n

In his second year at Trinity-Pawling, Clougher was appointed as the Director of Equity and Inclusion on campus \u2014 a role he cherishes. \u201cFor me, the most rewarding aspect is the chance to gain trust with our students from marginalized backgrounds. It\u2019s finding ways, on an individualized basis, to give the boys a chance to air their concerns, joys, thoughts, and emotions,\u201d shared Clougher.<\/p>\n

Now in his fourth year at Trinity-Pawling, and in the midst of a civil rights movement in our country, Clougher\u2019s efforts as Director of Equity and Inclusion are more valuable than ever. \u201cThroughout the summer, we held a series of virtual forums for students and faculty to have open conversations, provide necessary support and context to current events, and help each other wrestle with issues of justice and equity,\u201d he shared. Clougher also incorporated discussions on the all-school summer reading, Just Mercy<\/em> by Bryan Stevenson.<\/p>\n

These forums will continue in-person this Fall Term, with Clougher and other faculty members, including Kent Burnham, Nick LaFontaine, Jim McDougal, Joe Poon, Mike Webber, and others, co-creating the Tough Questions Club. \u201cThe club\u2019s main focus is constructive conversation. In small groups, the boys have a chance to talk about those topics that may be difficult or uncomfortable \u2014 like injustice, race, and COVID. It\u2019s not about opinions. It\u2019s about listening, reflecting, and learning from one another.\u201d<\/p>\n

While it is a tremendous initiative on campus, Clougher shared that the Tough Questions Club is just the beginning. He continues to work closely with School leadership, fellow faculty, and students to create a positive long-term vision for equity and inclusion at Trinity-Pawling. Although COVID regulations have caused a bit of a roadblock at this time, he looks forward to the future, when the School can host on-campus speakers, relevant movie viewings, training sessions, community programming, and more. In the meantime, Clougher presses onward \u2014 hosting small, constructive group discussions within among the students and faculty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis school is a wonderful place that helps students from all backgrounds and has done so for many years,\u201d Clougher concluded. \u201cWhile we can celebrate how much we\u2019ve done, we also recognize how much more we still can \u2014 and will \u2014 do. We have an incredible group of faculty and students stepping up to do just that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: BRAD LOIS \u201914<\/a>\n <\/h2>\n\n

\n

Brad Lois admits he was never much of a computer guy at Trinity-Pawling. \u201cI could reboot my laptop but that\u2019s about it.\u201d He now spends his days \u2014 and many long nights \u2014 helping multi-billion-dollar companies manage their data.<\/p>\n

Lois graduated from Catholic University with dual degrees in Civil Engineering and Architecture and Urban Planning. He assumed he would pursue a career in civil engineering. \u201cCivil engineering taught me how to analyze a problem, listen to a community, and create a solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, in January 2019, he changed course and took a position with NetApp, a data management company based in Sunnyvale, California. He\u2019s now a solutions engineer, with Disney as one of his clients. \u201cI have the privilege of working with the team that designs amusement parks, rides, and movies. Disney is the most magical place on earth, but those rides and movies run on data. We give Disney the tools to manage their data and make that magic happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lois credits two Trinity-Pawling faculty members as his mentors. \u201cMr. Dinsmore\u2019s drafting classes opened my eyes to architecture and design, and Mr. Reade\u2019s pottery and painting classes encouraged me to immerse myself in the creative process. These classes sparked my creative passion and gave me the freedom to find solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

So how did a civil engineer parlay his design skills into data management? \u201cI have a problem-solving, technical mind. I\u2019m comfortable dealing with the abstract. I do my research, present the information, and provide my clients with a trustworthy solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c92% of the world\u2019s data has been created in the last two years. That\u2019s how fast data is growing. Data is the new oil that fuels the world. And the companies that succeed are the ones who can manage their data most efficiently. Knowing how, when, and where to move your data is essential in today\u2019s hyper-connected world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lois sees some parallels between his work now and his role as captain of Trinity-Pawling\u2019s varsity soccer team in 2013. \u201cI ask myself each day \u2014 what can I do to get better? That mindset keeps me competitive. It\u2019s such an honor to be a part of a well-functioning team and work with these amazing companies. I\u2019m learning at a rapid pace every day. It\u2019s a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n

In late May, as students and faculty logged out of Zoom for the last time, Trinity-Pawling\u2019s first-ever remote Spring Term came to a close. You could almost hear the collective sigh of relief. After three months of virtual learning due to COVID-19, the Trinity-Pawling community was reminded of something that they knew but took for granted: learning happens best when it happens in community. While this is true of all learning, it is particularly true in the case of Trinity-Pawling, where the relationships between the students and faculty and the availability of extra help are catalysts to the learning and growth processes. As a result, School leadership set their sights on reopening campus for in-person learning during the 2020 Fall Term and went to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a school, we are proud of how Trinity-Pawling responded to the COVID-19 challenge forced upon all schools this past spring and summer,\u201d began Headmaster Bill Taylor. \u201cThrough creativity, disciplined hard work, and collaboration, the School worked to forge a safe, adaptable plan for students to return to campus, following all health and safety regulations associated with COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now one month in, Trinity-Pawling\u2019s first-ever hybrid Fall Term is off to a great start, with both in-person and remote learning. And it\u2019s all thanks to the strategic planning and tireless efforts of Bryan Turner, Director of Technology, Bob Reilly, Makerspace Facilitator, and Roberta Lidl, Director of the Center for Learning Achievement. \u201cThe Fall Term was an entirely different ballgame,\u201d Turner explained. \u201cWe were successful in the Spring as we pivoted to remote learning, but what works well for a stopgap is not always great for a long-term solution. We needed to design an in-person learning experience with remote learning components, for those students who could not be on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

After much research and evaluation, Turner and Reilly installed a total of 44 Owl cameras in the Dann Building classrooms \u2014 devices that capture 360\u00b0 video and audio for engaging and immersive remote learning. \u201cThe camera automatically shifts to focus on whoever is speaking. The result is an experience that nearly feels like sitting in the classroom,\u201d Turner explained. \u201cWe also have 49″ displays providing a view of the remote students to the teacher and classmates alike. Everybody can see and interact with the entire class,\u201d added Reilly. Toss in SmartBoards, Microsoft Teams and OneNote software, upgraded computers, and enhanced internet speed, and voila! The hybrid classrooms are ready for action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cutting-edge design of our new hybrid classrooms not only differentiates the School; but more importantly, it promotes a sense of community, even from a distance,\u201d Turner shared. \u201cOur community is one of our strongest qualities at Trinity-Pawling. And now the technology on campus is aligned with our core value. It doesn\u2019t get much better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, the Fall Term has not come without a few hiccups; but Turner, Reilly, and Lidl continue to troubleshoot and adapt accordingly. In true Trinity-Pawling fashion, the community rises to each challenge, with patience and understanding, as they acclimate to this new form of learning.<\/p>\n

As Turner, Reilly, and Lidl reflect on the whirlwind of 2020, they are especially grateful for the trust and support of the School community. \u201cI believe that we have created a method of providing education that will outlast the current pandemic and benefit Trinity-Pawling students for years to come,\u201d shared Reilly. \u201cSeeing our vision come to life has been so rewarding,\u201d added Turner. \u201cIt\u2019s been a tough year, but I\u2019m confident that we are providing a top-notch learning environment for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sports have taken on a new format this fall without interscholastic competition, allowing boys new athletic pursuits while also affording training in a focus sport.<\/p>\n

Mr. Bresler and Mr. Avis are leading the new Mountain Biking team to ride on and off campus, while Mr. Frost \u201904 continues to grow Varsity Farming in the greenhouse and on the upper property. A young talented group leads the way for soccer, PG football players set the example on Wednesday 7-on-7\u2019s, and Robby Accomando \u201922 and Harry Clark \u201923 mark a fast pace for cross country\u2019s Saturday Race Day challenges. Mr. Gillman \u201905 and Mr. Pirie have also opened a robust strength and conditioning program, offering hour-long slots in the weight room and field house for all in and out-of-season teams.<\/p>\n

After three days of training in their fall sport, students can then elect to switch activities for Thursday and Friday after school. While serious footballers stay on the pitch or with the pigskin, some athletes play lacrosse, hockey, basketball, or baseball. Others elect to go fishing or play disc golf on the new campus-wide course. The boys are as active as ever \u2014 and for now, just on campus.<\/p>\n
