At Convocation, the official opening of school, ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ honors faculty who have committed 25 years of their lives to the school by presenting them with a ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Chair.
During the ceremony on September 14, Head of School Robert W. Hill III presented a chair to Archivist Richard Teller ’70. “The Teller name is an indelible one at ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ as both of Mr. Rick Teller’s parents taught here,” said Hill. “In fact, Mr. Teller’s mother is the only person to have taught at the Northampton School for Girls, ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Academy, and ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ—quite a feat.” The Teller Chorus is named in honor of our Mr. Teller’s father.
Rick Teller graduated in 1970 and headed to Vassar College. During his 25 years at ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ he has held a number of positions, from teaching social studies to directing student activities. His love of music and photography are twin passions he pursues to this day. “We know him best as a librarian and the school’s archivist, known for his annual Button Speeches and vast knowledge of all things ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ,” Hill continued.
Congratulations, Mr. Teller!
