Her students and colleagues will benefit from her past teaching roles. It is also clear to me that she is committed to lifelong learning.” Ms. Clegg will work closely with lower school science teacher, Pam Deringer to ensure that the scope and sequence of Kent School’s science program provides the best possible preparation for our students.
Brittany Hester will take on the position of part-time librarian. She brings several years of teaching experience to the Kent School faculty.
