  • Adam Leff P’15, ’17

    “I live in an absolutely wonderful community. When there is a strong service program at a school, the community thrives. There’s engagement from all parts of our community, and we’re better for it. We have a much more vibrant community that takes care of one another, looks after one another, supports one another, communicates, and listens to one another closely. That’s a world that I like to be part of.”

  • Eva Contis ’25

    “Working in the Visual Arts Department at Gould has been a great experience because there are so many disciplines to pick from—hands-on activities like hand-building in pottery and metalwork to painting and fashion drawing. You can experience a little bit of everything and hone in on your passion. Coming to the Art Cottage is something I look forward to every day, and something I hope to pursue in college.”

  • Tyler Hamel ’22

    “We have something special here at Gould. The snowboard program has taken me from local USASA contests to the World Cup, all while providing a high-quality education in the classroom. Our level of academics and snowboarding can’t be found anywhere else in the world.”
