There is a deep need to support students who need more challenge academically and socially, specifically in Massachusetts since there is no mandate to support gifted students. I was able to hold many roles from Director of Admission to Interim Head of School. It was wonderful to be a part of helping Sage establish itself as a leader in gifted education.
