Faced with responding to the needs of our communities during the height of the pandemic, our faculty and staff proved exceptional at every turn, starting with the sheer logistical challenge of turning an in-person learning landscape into remote classrooms nearly overnight. Returning to in-person instruction brought new challenges. To even begin, we needed to connect with our staff and understand what they needed to be successful. We did our best to ensure the safety and health of our faculty and staff, but even our most valiant efforts did not please everyone. At the beginning of the school year, we too had teachers resigning at the eleventh hour. All the while we continued to recruit new hires who would be a great fit and who wanted to be in-person with scholars. I’d be lying if I told you this was easy.
