Our Faculty & Staff
Latin students are inspired and supported by an exceptional faculty and staff.
Two qualities our faculty and staff share: an unmistakable warmth and affection for their students and a commitment to ensuring that everyone feels successful. The relationships that students build with each other, their teachers, coaches, counselors, advisors and deans are at the heart of the Latin experience.

Something that I believe in is students don't care about how much you know until they know how much you care. And at Latin School, I feel like we know that teachers care about our growth and our success and that makes us want to learn and engross ourselves in our classes that much more.
