At Opening of School Dinner in late August, Head of School Peter G. Curran P’27 ’27 celebrated the dedicated and talented members of the community who reached significant service milestones at Blair.

During the ceremony, Associate Dean of College Counseling Joe Mantegna, English department chair Jim Moore, Hon. ’93, and building and grounds team member Kevin Rutt were honored with original paintings of Blair’s campus by former Blair fine arts teacher Rita Baragona, recognizing their impressive 25 years of service. 

Nearly a dozen teachers and staff members were honored for reaching 10-year milestones. This group includes Director of Athletic Facilities and Security Brian Antonelli ’93, English teacher Douglass Compton, mathematics department chair Danyelle Doldoorian, Director of Advancement Craig Hall, Dean of Teaching and Learning Joe Wagner, Instructional Technologist Barbara Angiolelli, Health Center Administrative Assistant Jill Corby, Preschool and Lead Group Teacher Jeanne Fields, Childcare Director Aimee Neary and Director of Human Resources Jackie Roecker. 

Blair remains profoundly grateful to those honored in August—as well as to all faculty and staff members whose contributions have done so much to shape Blair into the school it is today.
