Honor Roll of
Donors
Thank you to MCI’s alumni,
parents, students, faculty,
staff and friends for your
continued support!
From the Headmaster
Dear Friends,
How do you define Leadership? Can it be taught, or is it learned by “osmosis”
through exposure to inspiring, charismatic individuals? Are we born with—or without—an innate ability and desire to lead?
Not easy questions to answer, are they? In over twenty years in education I’ve listened to and engaged in countless debates on the subject as it applies to school communities and students.
Here’s what I do know. Inspiring young people to lead begins with some version
of the following statement: “You can do it.” Simple as that. The “it” could be large
or small and apply to a moment or a lengthy span of time. And the teacher, coach,
dorm parent or advisor who makes this statement must be someone who has earned
respect and, most of all, trust. He or she is a role model so the “You can do it” carries
with it a challenge worthy of a youngster’s best efforts.
At a time when so many schools across the country are becoming cautious—cutting
programs and teachers and opportunities—we’re strategically expanding them in
the firm belief that placed into the right situation with the right adult, every girl and
boy can thrive, even lead.
Because each of you remembers (even if we didn’t like it or fully understand at the
time) the person at MCI who pushed, cajoled, disciplined and loved us—whatever it
took. Those individuals made us who we are now and gave us that opportunity, even
if just for a moment, to be a LEADER because he or she believed in us, likely more
than we believed in ourselves at that vulnerable age. Was it Young, Pottle, Legge,
Piper, Spear, Kingsbury, Bartlett, Mosher, Williams, Slagle, Dana, Bradshaw, Smith,
Bessey, Veilleux, Earle, Russell, Haseltine, Card or someone else I’ve not mentioned?
Was it in the classroom, dormitory, club, dining hall or on the field or stage?
All that we’re doing now at MCI in our daily work, in our comprehensive fundraising, and in our planning for the future is so that many years from now, when today’s
students are sitting where you are at present, each has a name he or she remembers
with the same gratitude. Someone who said, “You can do it.” I can assure you that
today’s MCI teachers are as dedicated, demanding and caring as ever!
We can’t do it without your continued loyalty, support and, yes, your contributions
to our Annual Fund wherein you demonstrate your own continued leadership on
behalf of this great old school.
Leadership: Service to and sacrifice for others. Thank you for your present and future
leadership of Maine Central Institute.

Rep. Cain and Col. Williams speak with students after their talks.
MCI’s Patterson Lecture Series has begun its fourth year
of bringing engaging speakers to campus. The talks will
all correspond with this year’s
school theme of Leadership:
Service to and Sacrifice for Others.
Maine House Minority Leader Emily Cain was the first
speaker of the year, talking
with the assembled students,
faculty, staff and community members on September
21st.
Representative Cain
of Orono was elected to the
Maine House of Representatives in 2004 at age 24 and
was elected to be the Democratic House Caucus leader
for the 125th Legislature. She
is the youngest female legislator to lead the minority party
in the Maine House.
Cain said that her goal in
speaking with the students was
to challenge them to broaden
the answer to the question
“what do you want to be when
you grow up?” She asked the
students to think about more
than just a job or profession
but also about how much one
gives back and chooses to share
his / her leadership potential.
Cain then spoke about being
open to opportunities when
they arise. “You always need
a plan, but don’t let the plan
prevent you from living up to
your full potential.” She also
spoke about the importance of
letting other people guide and
help you, telling the crowd
about her greatest mentor and
friend, her high school music
teacher.
portance of being a leader in
one’s own community, saying “everyone out there has
the potential to be a leader,
to do something great in the
community.” He went on say
that being a leader requires
sacrifice and personal responsibility and highlighted the
importance of making good
decisions, especially surrounding social media.
Williams also told the students that leaders can’t choose
to take the easy path, and that
it is important to lead every
day. He used the examples of
giving up two hours of their
time on Saturday to volunteer or $2 to a charity instead
of purchasing a soda, to show
that small sacrifices can have
a significant impact on their
community. By making good
decisions, every person has
what it takes to be a good
leader and give back to those
around them.
Col. Robert Williams ’82,
chief of the Maine State Police, spoke to the School community on November 16. Col.
Williams grew up in Pittsfield
and graduated from MCI in
1982. He joined the Pittsfield
Police Department in 1983
and a year later, at the age of
20, joined the Maine State
Police. Williams rose through
the ranks and was selected as
the deputy chief in 2007. In
May of 2011 he was nominated and confirmed as the Chief The next Patterson Lecture

Guest Artist Program continues its
12th year
MCI’s Music Department welcomed
Trent Austin for the School’s annual
guest artist visit October 31 and November 1. The visit allowed about 45 music
students in five different music groups
the opportunity to work with Austin and
culminated with the fall jazz concert on
November 1. The annual two-day visit
allows students to not only perform with
a professional musician, but also work
with that person and practice with him
/ her beforehand. Austin has performed
with such artists as Tony Bennett, Natalie
Cole, Joe Williams, Clark Terry, and Bob
Wilber. Most recently Austin was a featured trumpet soloist with the prestigious
Artie Shaw Orchestra (a position he held
for 11 years) and is currently highly in
demand in the Boston area as a trumpet soloist. He is on the faculty at the
University of Southern Maine, teaches
“on call” trumpet lessons throughout the
Boston area, and has a highly successful
private studio in the Boston suburb of
Salem, Massachusetts.
Visual Arts Enhances Fall Jazz
Concert
This fall, Art Teacher Jill Schvartz contacted Dean Neal to find out what music

and chose one song on which everyone
could do a reflective visual piece. The
students listened to Cantaloupe Island by
Herbie Hancock, in its various versions,
The
@ MCI
as they painted. They also discussed what
the music meant to them, how it made
them feel and what they thought about
the colors and movement that might be
apparent in the song. To complete the
project, the class hung their canvases in
the gynasium for the audience to reflect
upon during the concert.
Drama Team performs
“Anything Goes”
MCI’s Drama Team got out their tap
shoes and performed their Fall Musical
production of Cole Porter’s 1934 musical
comedy Anything Goes on November 18th
and 19th. Anything Goes was directed by
Rachel Damon and featured a cast of 27
students. The cast worked ten to fifteen
hours a week beginning in early September to mount the ambitious musical production featuring tap dancing sailors and
show girls. Set aboard the S.S. American,
a steam ship headed from New York to
London, Anything Goes features the antics
of an eclectic group of characters. Billy
Crocker ( Joe Bowman ’12) stowed away

When I listened to this song, I saw a lively city. The fast pace seemed like the bustle and maze of buildings. When the song slowed at certain parts, it then reminded me of a sloping countryside... so I painted both from a distance. The song also reminded me of a dinner party, so I made it dusk and added
stars to lighten the mood. The leaves I put in to add rhythm.
win Hope’s love. The Saturday matinee
performance was geared toward families
with children and provided an entertaining exposure to theatre. Following the
matinee performance, audience members
had the opportunity to do a meet and
greet and ask questions of the cast and
production team.
Back to the Future: The Bossov Nutcracker in Skowhegan
O
n a dark, overcast, and frigid
December 17th in St. Petersburg in 1892, the ornate blue and
silver curtains of the Maryinski
Theatre opened to Tchaikovsky’s
newest ballet score, The Nutcracker.
The Tsar himself, Alexander III,
strong, burly, and six foot four,
was in the audience with his lady,
the Empress Maria Fyodorovna,
and their five children, including
young Nicholas, who would be
the last of the Tsars. When the
final act ends in the now famous
Land of the Sweets, Tchaikovsky’s
Nutcracker refrain, turned soft and
slow now, as it draws the ballet to
its close, accompanies ballerinas
clad in black and yellow as honeybees, assuring us that there will
be sweetness and honey forever –
which, if you are Russian, far, far
north of where sugar cane grows
– is a Christmas assurance that
is comforting indeed. So we can
imagine that the Romanov family
left the show with visions of honeybees dancing in their heads. We
know that Alexander, known as
the last true autocratic tsar, loved
the show, contrary to some critics
who had not yet gotten used to
Tchaikovsky’s revolutionizing effect on ballet.
We don’t see the little bees anymore in today’s Nutcrackers. They
seem to have given way to scenes
of little girls awaking from the
classic Christmas dream about
Prince Charmings and candy.
But the Nutcracker at the
Skowhegan Opera House this
Thanksgiving Weekend, featuring
fifteen MCI students, representing seven US states in a cast of
forty dancers – Andrei Bossov’s
new, revised Nutcracker – was made
specifically to suit Skowhegan’s
classic old Opera House. Andrei
is from St. Petersburg where the
Nutcracker was born; and he is a
traditionalist. The bees are back!
In Andrei’s new Nutcracker we are
back to the future. Many, many
bees populate Andrei’s revised
Land of the Sweets, little eightyear-old bees, one little boy bee,
teenaged bees, and even a virtuoso
Queen Bee, portrayed on alternate
performances by Charlotte Hovey
’12 and Mollie Sharples ’13. The
many sweets that make Nutcracker
Christmas are back, as well; the
Spanish Chocolate, French Marzipan, Chinese Tea, Arabian Coffee,
and Russian Roasted Sugar. All is
topped off, of course, with daring
leaps and manly turns by a handsome prince, Renato De Leon ’14.
scary. There is the traditional
chase scene through the snow –
Mouse King in hot pursuit of girl
turned princess and nutcracker
doll turned prince.
The snow scene is always my favorite – indispensable! Ballerinas
in white tutus, becoming the snow
flakes that foil the evil Mouse
King by covering the tracks of the
loving couple.
The magic of Christmas restores
the old toymaker’s business, and
assures his continued livelihood
without fear of eviction after all.
Gifts are bestowed on him by his
landlord, Dr. Stahlbaum and the
Stahlbaum family – miracle gifts
that he first beheld in his dream
about the Land of the Sweets.
Suffice it to say, neither Dickens’
Scrooge turned into a happy and
generous Christmas well-wisher,
nor Cervantes’ Man of La Mancha in his final chorus of “Dream
the Impossible Dream” can top
what comes to pass to uplift Herr
Drosselmeier on Christmas. Like
the Romanov family 119 years
ago, Bossov’s audiences this year
go home humming the tunes and
singing the songs, with the assurance of the honeybees, that sweetness and honey will dwell in the
Land of the Sweets, forever.
Back to the future and another
change: Andrei’s revised Nutcracker is a Christmas miracle
that rescues an aging down-andout toymaker, Drosselmeier. Just
when things are their bleakest,
money running out, old age setting in, toys losing their luster, and
seeming certain eviction for non- So, Andrei Bossov has done it
payment of rent. Dream-like, his again. As a soloist who danced the
toys come to life, some good, some Nutcracker in the same Maryinski
Theatre where the Imperial Family
first beheld it, as a choreographer
who made ballets for the dancers of
the same 271-year-old ballet company that performed for the Tsar,
Andrei has the authority as well as
the creativity to make change that
while original, is at once traditional
as well. No other Ballet Master
whom I know of in this country can
do that.
Wherever they go in life, regardless
of whether they dance professionally or never dance another step,
MCI students who studied with
Bossov will carry with them a deep
appreciation of the rich culture of
ballet. For some, it may mean simply more enjoyment at the theater.
Others may write as critics. Others will pass the love of dance on to
their children – and stories about
Andrei, and what is was like, taking ballet from an internationally
known artist. For those who join
professional companies, the name
Bossov will stand out on their résumés. Handed down the generations from the Court of Louis XIV
of France and then, through the international malaise of masters who
were drawn to Russia in the 18th
and 19th centuries – Petipa, Cechetti – then native Russians of the
20th and 21st centuries – Fokine,
Pavlova, Vaganova, Baryshnikov,
and Bossov, himself – all of them,
will leave a mark in the hearts and
minds of our grads.

Defining Leadership
A
s the student leadership group on campus, MCI’s Student Council is taking this year’s School theme of Leadership: Service to
and Sacrifice for others very seriously. At the beginning of this school year, the Student Council ratified a new constitution,
one that redefined its role at the school to be more centered on student culture and student voice. A dedicated group of officers
spent hours during the summer (and last spring) discussing the change, considering implications and deciding how to present
to the full Council the goals and the paradigm shift that led to the new constitution. The new constitution also directly challenges the Student Council members to be leaders with their classmates and to accept the personal responsibility that accompanies leadership roles. In addition, the Student Council has split the traditional Student of the Month award into two awards:
the Academic Student of the Month and the Student Leadership Recognition Award. Students nominated for the Leadership
Award are positive role models; are active and positive school citizens; and are ethical, friendly and courteous and encourage
others to be their best. They have also begun a student forum to give the student body increased opportunity to have a voice
in what is happening on campus.
After learning about the many changes that are taking place on campus as the students redefine and revamp leadership roles,
we were motivated and inspired to look further into the topic of leadership here at MCI and asked the following questions of
some influential leaders in the MCI community: What is your favorite MCI memory? Who was the most influential “leader” in your
life while at MCI (faculty member, coach, etc.)? What does leadership mean
to you (how do you define leadership)? Please relate an MCI experience
or write about what you learned at MCI that helped you to lead in some
fashion later in life. As you will see through the article, MCI has actively
fostered its students’ and alums’ life-long learning, character development
and leadership growth by providing the knowledge, skills and experiences
that benefit them over a lifetime.
Allison Sinclair ’12
Student Council President,
Senior Class President (Pittsfield, Me)
Favorite MCI Memory: My favorite MCI memory is hosting girls from Aomori, Japan
each year. It is such a wonderful opportunity to build relationships with these girls, and I will
cherish their friendships forever.
most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: My most influential leader in my
life while at MCI would have to be Tanya Kingsbury. Not only is she the Spanish teacher
here, but the Student Council advisor as well. She is such a strong woman, and has influenced
the person I have become in many ways. I admire her confidence in who she is and what she
believes in, and hope that I can be a strong leader just as she is.
Defining leadership: To me, leadership means positively influencing those around you to
make the right decisions, and if they don’t, encouraging them to do better next time.
Experiences at MCI that will help me to lead later in life: At MCI, I have learned
that being an effective communicator is one of the most important qualities someone can
possess. The best thing to do is talk to people one-on-one. In doing so, you will build stronger
relationships than you can imagine. Human interaction makes the greatest impact.

Favorite MCI Memory: I loved Winter Carnival, which in so many ways captured
the MCI spirit: coming together with friends, working on shared, big projects, the
snow sculptures, decorating the gym, the bands, the dances, and the festive, relatively
carefree moments.
most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI:
I recall fondly many inspired and inspiring teachers, committed to conveying the
subjects and committed to their students: Charles Berndtson, Peg Witham, Gilbert
Spear, Peter Bradshaw, Frank Hazeltine, Fred Kohler, Hazel Earle (OK, I didn’t take
Latin, but it was inspiring just to know she was there), Janet Forbes, Paul Legge, Tom
Huston, Kemp Pottle, John Dana, Tom Burgoyne and others. To single out one in
particular, I would mention the headmaster, Edward R. Stanley, who set a tone of
decorum, civility, hard work, and high expectation. When I talk with MCI friends or
read about what alumni are doing in their lives and communities, I see how much the
ethic of work and service has permeated the lives of so many of us who were really
privileged to be part of that sort of educational community.
Defining leadership: I think balance, empathy, and respect were values that were
conveyed through work and play, classroom and extracurricular, town and out of
town, day in day out, give and take (or take and give), trying to understand the perspective and concerns of others. I was once advised by one of my mentors never to
take an administrative position because anything I did could be reversed. It wasn’t
advice I followed, but advice I have never forgotten. I think what endures may be the
values framework one creates that allows others to succeed, rather than any specific
accomplishment. Leadership is more about communicating a vision for a better organization, though taking the hard decisions may contribute to that understanding.
Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: I think the Manson
Essay was a much more formative experience than I realized at the time. All those
steps were wonderful preparation for big projects to follow: deciding on a topic,
consultation with supervisor, reading and more reading, stacks of 3x5 index cards,
organizing, outlining, writing, and rewriting and rewriting, preparing for oral presentation, memorizing, meeting the deadline, facing anxiety, mastering anxiety, overcoming procrastination, facing the lights, facing the music, reconsidering. Breaking
down big projects into lots of bite size chunks was an important lesson that has
served well in preparation for many things to come and a reminder that big projects
can be broken down into manageable bits.
“When I talk with MCI friends or read about
what alumni are doing in their lives and communities, I see how much the ethic of work and
service has permeated the lives of so many of us
who were really privileged to be part of that sort
of educational community.”
Joo Yi ’98

Favorite MCI Memory: Senior year, Winter Carnival where I believe we built Disney sculptures
(Mickey and Donald) to take the win. Loads and loads of snow made it tough but lots of fun as
well.
most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Mrs. Deb Rozeboom - mentor, inspiration, host mom, AP English teacher, American Mom
Defining leadership: A leader to me is someone that leads by example. The inspirational part is
actually witnessing how that leader treats those around him/her. Just telling someone to do something or act a certain way doesn’t really motivate people unless the leaders themselves are actually
practicing what they preach.
Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: Being a foreigner, the cozy town of
Pittsfield and the atmosphere of MCI has instilled the importance of a close-knit community and
how good it feels to belong somewhere. The memories and friendships I have made at MCI have
definitely made me grow as a person and for that I will always be grateful.

Peter Cianchette ’79
Favorite MCI Memory: 1960, when Mrs. Sinclair appointed a few of us from her class to escort U.S.
Senator Margaret Chase Smith from another class to ours. Talk about feeling special, we knew just how
important she was as Mrs. Sinclair had done a fine job of telling us.
most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Mrs. Sinclair, she was stern, kind and caring. She was meticulous of herself and our class. There was a special elegance about her. Others were Mr.
Cunningham, Mrs. Sidelinger and Mrs. Pottle. Each one of these teachers was at MCI because they loved
teaching.
Defining leadership: Leadership to me, means being able to facilitate people to find their best strength
to achieve their goals, and building confidence. Some people need to be led requiring each step to be
dictated and some thrive with free reign. Knowing the difference is the key to good leadership. Be patient,
kind and understand it takes time to find your place. My mother always said “kindness, you get more with
honey than vinegar.” She was right.
Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: I think we had excellent instructors, people
who cared and took their job seriously. Our classes were small and we had the attention we needed. I was
too young to appreciate what we had and, to be honest, if I had paid more attention I would have learned
a lot more. I’ve been very lucky.
Vice President of Business Development, Cianbro
former United States Ambassador to Costa Rica
(South Portland, ME)
Favorite MCI Memory: I was proud to be a part of MCI and have so many fond memories of my time
there – the excitement of earning leadership positions in our class or sports, starting in my first varsity
football game, ski team trips to Aroostook County, Winter Carnival, the fellowship of Key Club, and being
inspired by some really great teachers (although it might have been years later when I truly realized they had
inspired me!) Looking back, what is most prominent in my mind is the sense of respect between the diverse
student body, those students and the faculty, and the school as a whole with Pittsfield.
most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Headmaster Harry “Pinky” True
Defining leadership: I’ve always subscribed to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s theory: “Leadership is
the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” At the time, I
never could have imagined how the opportunities I had at MCI to experience and practice leadership skills
would serve my life in so many ways.
Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: MCI has a unique relationship with Pittsfield, and no doubt serves to strengthen the strong sense of community which exists in the Central Maine
area. It was there I first began to understand that once you have the privilege to experience true community,
that you have an obligation to give back to it. To this day, I credit growing up in Pittsfield and my time at
MCI, coupled with the teachings of my parents, for what has been an important part of my life: a strong
belief in public service and the desire to work to improve our communities.

Favorite MCI Memory: Meeting new people, making lifelong friendships, being exposed
to new experiences and cultures and watching and participating in the growth of the School
are my favorite memories of MCI, both as a student and as a trustee. It would be hard to carve
out one favorite memory. It has been the whole MCI experience.
most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Although there were many influential leaders while I attended MCI, David Mosher stands out as the most influential one.
He was a great educator, a very genuine individual, always willing to help others and share
interesting stories with his students. He bridged the gap between educator and student and
without compromising his leadership role.
Defining leadership: Respecting others, sharing knowledge, being inclusive, offering opportunities whenever possible and trying to make the best decisions is how I define leadership.
Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: While at MCI, I learned to
go the extra mile in order to resolve differences and to respect the fact that others may have
different views. This came about when MCI and the District split for two years.

Favorite MCI Memory: Surprisingly, one of my favorite MCI
memories is sitting in Latin class and contemplating the “Putate” sign
that Mrs. Earle had posted behind her desk. This quote seems to
mesh with what my whole MCI experience gave me the ability to do.
Whether Humanities Colloquium, trying to decipher that Hamlet
text in English, studying Russian history as opposed to the US, or figuring out what liquids to combine in chemistry, everyone emphasized
expanding your thoughts and discovering more than one way to get to
a solution or different understanding of the situation.
most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI:
There were so many excellent teachers and mentors at MCI while I
attended – Mr. Lewis made literature and the beauty of the written
word appreciated even before content; Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Bartlett
made history come alive so that you wanted to see the rest of the
world; Mr. Stanley and Mr. Dana were always ready with advice and
counsel with just enough humor to carry the day. But I would have
to say that Mr. Gil Spear, who taught me geometry, was the most
influential. He had a disability and came to class every day in his
wheelchair, used the devices of the day - crude by modern standards to communicate effectively and was such a great teacher that he made
plane geometry interesting! He was an inspiration and a spur to all of
us to use our abilities and make our way in the world.
Defining leadership: Leadership can come in many forms, but one
must have a clear, long-term vision of a goal or destination to lead. If
that vision is comprehensive and consistent, then leadership requires
communication and inspiration to other folks who can help reach the
goal. It also requires a clear set of values and standards of what is
acceptable in dealing with the rest of the community while striving
toward the goal. All for one must be put in a one benefiting all perspective.
Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: At
MCI, we were always encouraged to expand our horizons and try new
things. One of the things I did was to sign up for a college course in
physics at the University of Maine one summer. It turned out that
you needed calculus to succeed in this course and the MCI students
were not prepared for that skill. So several of the math teachers at
MCI pooled their skills and traveled to Orono several nights a week
to give us a concentrated tutorial in calculus. This lesson of striving
to the goal even if you have to fill in some holes with extra work, or of
not giving up just because one part of effort is not going so well, has
been repeated over and over in my professional career. All substantial
dreams and goals have tough spots and require much effort with other
people over the long term. MCI and the people there taught us we
were up to those challenges and that the rewards of accomplishment
were well worth pursuing.

“The most meaningful thing I can say about
leadership is this: You can only become a leader

(Saco, ME)
Favorite MCI Memory: There isn’t only one favorite memory – I certainly made great acquaintances, I was fortunate to be learning from instructors of excellence. This was the time and place to
find one’s talents.
most influential “leader” in your life while
at MCI: The headmaster, Mr. Stanley, was honest,
open and always visible. A great role model!
Defining leadership: A leader is someone who
consistently thinks outside of the box and has a
clear view of the future. Leadership is having the
ability to communicate effectively and to mentor
a diverse group of people to work together toward
common goals, resulting in success!
Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead
later in life: MCI, during my years, reinforced
my family values, helped me to better focus on my
potential and what the future might hold. It provided me with great academic preparation for university/college work and the post-grad year was a
real springboard to future accomplishments.

have given them a new beginning, with the new chapter starting in our lives. Look around at each other, and see what we
are going to become in life. Look forward to our achievements,
to the changes, and to everything ahead of us. The future is just

Update on the Strategic Plan 2010-15
Maine Central Institute will provide a 21st Century curriculum which provides students with
excellent academic, analytic, and collaborative and wellness skills to excel in post-secondary
endeavors.
The School will develop a self-contained “9th grade academy” to support the transition from middle school
to high school. ~ MCI Strategic Plan 2010-15
With significant academic and social
changes between middle school and
high school, the 9th grade is a pivotal
year for students. This transitional year
often necessitates additional resources
and a high level of personalized support from peers, families and teachers.
To help address that need, MCI created
the Transitions Academy, a three-week
program that takes place before the start
of the school year. This program helps
students with the anxiety of a new campus as well as with new, increased academic and social requirements. While
the Transitions Academy has been a
great success, the need for greater, longterm support of 9th grade students was
determined by MCI’s strategic planning process. The strategic plan recommended that the School “develop
a self-contained ‘9th grade academy’
to support the transition from middle
school to high school.” The Academy
needed to continue throughout the
school year, allow for greater communication among faculty members, and
better promote strong study and organizational skills. As a result of the
Strategic Plan, a committee of parents,
SAD 53 and MCI staff was formed last
spring to design the new 9th Grade
Academy.
18
What is the 9th Grade Academy?
The 9th Grade Academy consists of
a core team of four faculty specialists
who teach only 9th grade students.
The specialists, English teacher Abigail
Hartford, history teacher Jeremy Taylor, math teacher Jaime Kearney, and
science teacher Jessica Talbot, work together as a unit to plan classes and discuss their students’ needs. One of the
benefits of the academy model is that
it gives the specialists a common preparatory time that allows for curriculum planning across all studies. While
the students can choose from the same
courses and electives as 9th graders in
previous years, they now have the added
benefit of a team of faculty who are focused on providing consistency across
the curriculum. This model also gives
the faculty regular time to discuss students and focus on those who are struggling. Because the faculty members are
able to discuss how a student is doing in
a more holistic manner, they are quickly
able to recognize students who need additional support and create and execute
plans that provide specifically what the
students need. “We have done some
really great interventions with students,
giving them academic support or even
recommending that they talk with the
School’s
personal
counselor,” Hartford
explained. “We are
able to put more plans
in place because we
are much more aware
of what is happening
with our students.
Because all four of us
are on board, there is
a much greater chance
that the plan will be
implemented
successfully.”
Alumnus Magazine
Jaime Kearney uses her smartboard in her Algebra I
CP course.
In addition to increased communication among
the faculty specialists, there are also new academic programs or supports in place. Each
specialist holds an “open classroom” once a week
during lunch to provide students a time to see
a teacher for additional help and also time to
complete their homework. The Academy features structured study halls with options to take
an enrichment reading class or a “focus” class
that enhances study and organizational skills.
Students can be shifted in and out of the reading and focus classes as their needs change.
The Academy is also focusing on improving
technology skills and incorporating technology
more into their curriculum. To help accomplish
this, the faculty recently started using iPads in
the classroom. The Academy is hoping to become a pilot program for the one-to-one computing program the School has envisioned in
the Strategic Plan. Kearney uses an interactive

smartboard in her math classes and the
faculty all work to encorporate multimedia presentations and other technology-mediated tools that grab the students’ interest. “What we are teaching
is still the same but we are now gaining
the capabilities to help students learn
in ways they are interested,” explained
Talbot. “Most students already have a
base level of technical knowledge. We
want to propel them forward to a higher level.”
Already, the faculty specialists are seeing improvements. “I have a chance to
make a huge impact during this transitional period in a 9th grade student’s

impact during this transitional period in a 9th grade student’s life. It

completed the first quarter of the school
year, failure rates have already decreased
compared to previous years.
Like the 9th grade students finding
their way through their first year of
high school, the core team is tweaking
and enhancing the 9th Grade Academy
as they learn what works best. “This
is all new to us,” said Hartford. “We
are slowly bringing in new pieces and
improving.” Plans to add a mathematics enrichment class are already being
discussed for next year, and Kearney
and Talbot are talking about the potential for team-teaching math and science courses. The core team is excited
about the possibilities and the benefits
that the Academy offers. As Hartford
states, “We are four people who want to
be here helping students. We want to
do this. We chose to do this.”

MCI Alumni Receive Honorary Diplomas
Nancy Mercier McGinnis ’61 and Terrance Frederick ’61 both attended MCI but due
to circumstances beyond their control, had to leave before receiving their diplomas.
Though they have always been considered alumni by their classmates and the School,
in honor of their 50th Reunion, Headmaster Chris Hopkins was delighted to present Frederick and McGinnis with honorary diplomas. “It was with great honor and
delight that on behalf of the past and present boards of trustees, I conferred diplomas
to these two loyal Maine Central Institute alums,” he said.
MCI Welcomes New Board of Trustee Members
MCI is pleased to welcome new trustees Susan Smith England ’73 of Rhode Island,
Jeffrey Hathorn ’64 of Florida and David MacGown ’86 of New York to the Board.
England, Hathorn and MacGown join 27 other board members and offer a wealth
of experience and dedication to the School. For a full listing of the Board, please see
page 3.
Pattersons offer 2-for-1 Challenge to the MCI Community
Trustees Gregg ’69 and Elaine Patterson, who care deeply about MCI’s students, have
stepped forward to offer The Patterson Challenge - a two-for-one $50,000 matching challenge to all MCI alumni and community members. For every additional
$1 contributed to the Annual Fund, the Pattersons will provide $2 to the School’s
endowment. “We have always been supportive of the outstanding programs MCI
offers and the terrific faculty, staff, and administrators who serve the students,” the
Pattersons explained. “But delivering those programs and services requires funding,
especially Annual Fund gifts and unrestricted Endowment gifts which go straight
to the ‘bottom line’ of the operating budget. We created the Patterson Challenge to
encourage MCI alumni and friends to join us in taking the Annual Fund to a new
level. The dollars that we all contribute translate directly into more opportunities for
MCI students now and in the future.” This generous initiative will help advance the
School’s strategic direction of growing both the Annual Fund and MCI’s endowment,
both of which are critical to the quality of the MCI experience.
