Dear Paideians, Welcome to the 2023-24 school year! I am thrilled to join this joyful community as the second head of school. As long as I’ve been an educator, the start of school has felt like the real New Year’s Day. Embedded in this moment are the hopes and aspirations for the year to come for our faculty, staﬀ, students and parents. As we dive into the year, I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and to immersing myself in this community that my family and I will call home. Every moment that I’ve spent on campus thus far has been ﬁlled with joy, laughter and an eagerness to learn. As I settle in, I am excited to continue to learn more about how we create an environment where every member of our community feels seen, heard and understood. I am committed to listening, being present around campus (including teaching in the new Junior High building) and engaging in conversations aimed at strengthening the shared sense of belonging that is essential to creating a strong community of learners. This is exciting work, and I’m eager to get started.It is natural for there to be questions from the community during a period of tran-sition. After all, Paideia has only ever had one head of school. I am tremendously grateful to both Paul and Barbara for their warm welcome of Sara, Linus, Elsie and me. I’m thankful too for the 52 years of stewardship from our faculty, staﬀ, students and parents who have laid a strong foundation for this school. And still, change can be hard. In my own experiences as a student, faculty member, parent and administra-tor, I understand the complex feelings that often come with change. I hope we can all work together to continue deﬁning the future for Paideia as an exceptional, inclusive and progressive school while upholding the values and traditions that have made Paideia one of the best independent schools in the Southeast. In particular, I’m reminded of Paideia’s incredibly powerful Framework of Values. These statements clearly articulate who we are, who we want to be and the environ-ment needed to center these values. Excellence and hard work, attitudes toward learn-ing, respect for diversity, social responsibility, egalitarianism, empathy, development of an ethical self, commitment to an environmental view and an appreciation of the importance of the present form the school environment that we strive to create and maintain every day. As we prepare to start the year, I ask that we each strive to ﬁnd our own place in these values and work to hold one another accountable for living these values every day.Paideia is a special place. Each day, students, faculty and staﬀ come together to engage in the joy of learning. Together, we work to build a school that fosters connection, growth and development of young people in an inclusive and warm community. The late Rev. Dr. Calvin O. Butts III, the former pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, used to say community is as much a verb as it is a noun. We speak of our school as a community, and this word conveys connection, collaboration and pur-pose. Now, as we celebrate our school’s New Year’s Day, I ask each of you to consider how you will choose to live that word into action. What concrete steps will you take to ensure that, in this moment of transition, our community remains strong? Community at its best is created and supported by small actions. A warm “hello” or a door held open can help brighten someone’s day. The small things we do help build the connections that collectively form a strong community. And I’m eager to make those connections with each of you. I want you to know my door is always open, and I hope you will pop your head in when you’re next on campus.See you soon! Warmly,Tom TaylorHead of SchoolLETTER FROM2

7“”QQ: When and how did you decide to become head of school? What drew you into this work? PAUL: After college, I thought I would teach. I entered an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) program, but given my temperament, I suspected I would wind up being a school superintendent. Temperamentally, I was a kid who always had an annoying habit of trying to run something. That part hasn’t changed much since those days. When the opportunity arose [to become the ﬁrst head of school at Paideia], I was 24 years old. The new school didn’t have anything yet — no building, no money, no students, no teachers. So, to be oﬀered that job wasn’t exactly a great honor! But we were young, really young, and it was sort of a “what could go wrong?” situation. So we did it. Fifty years later, here we are.I get told now, at the opposite end of the career spectrum, that I must have had enormous vision back then to take on this venture. Nope. All I wanted back then was to help get a school going. I wasn’t thinking long-term yet.That’s a long answer. Maybe, Tom, having lived a shorter life, you’ll have a shorter answer. TOM: I was a physics and theater double-major in college. When I realized I was a me-diocre actor at best, and that I needed a job, I decided to try teaching physics. I fell in love with it, and in very short order I realized I wanted to be in schools the rest of my life. It wasn’t long before I started to get involved in additional duties and school adminis-tration. I began to appreciate that at each stage of my career, from becoming a dean to a division head and now to head of school, the challenges become far more complex. But so does the opportunity to learn. Although Paul says that back when he was oﬀered the job, it wasn’t necessarily the greatest of honors, I would say that, in my case, it’s an INCREDIBLY big honor — because of what’s been grown and cultivated at Paideia, by Paul and everyone who has worked in this school. I could not be more excited about joining this community! PAUL: I’ll add to that. I always loved school. I loved the energy. The happenings. I loved how important school is. I still do. I like how unpredictable it is. I liked school as a kid going through it. And the ﬁrst time I taught in a high school, I just loved it — it all seemed so alive. To this day, I ﬁnd that almost every important question of living gets out of the carpool line each morning and walks into the classroom. Character, eﬀort, getting along with oth-ers, justice — it all comes to school every day. And all of us bump into each other. There’s fun and excitement in these interactions. But it’s also important work. Q: Can you talk about how being a head of school is diﬀerent from being a teacher, or how the two roles relate? TOM: In both roles, you’re responsible for the well-being of humans. But if you’re a classroom teacher, your responsibility tends primarily to your students. As an administra-tor, you take on responsibility for the well-being of adults in addition to the children. As an administrator, the question partly becomes, How do you, by way of caring for the adults, ensure that the children are well cared for? And I mean that across all dimensions — academic, emotional, spiritual. It’s a diﬀerent lever you’re pulling. PAUL: The head of school sees more of the school. You are in a unique position, and it’s your responsibility to try to see the whole. That’s daunting. Of course, you will miss some Earlier this year, we sat down with Paul Bianchi and Tom Taylor and asked them about their respec-tive career journeys, their thoughts on leadership and what makes the Paideia community so special — even or especially during a time of change.They also shared some things we weren’t expecting to learn — like which one of them has a secret talent for juggling ﬂaming torches, and what philosopher’s worldview Paideia leaders would do well to avoid (hint: poor, nasty, brutish and short). Paideia parents, students, staﬀ and alumni, be of good cheer: Although we will miss the remarkable leader we had in Paul during the past 50 years, we are in amazing hands with our new head of school. We’re in for more laughter, more learning and more of the quintessential Paideia spir-it, which calls us to embrace the hard work and the joy of being in community together.

8things. But there is no one out there who is better positioned to see more. What Tom said is true: you help people who do the work; you help teachers be in a position so they can do their best work. You do whatever you can to make this school a place where teachers want to teach because that’s the precondition for it being a place where children want to learn. If teachers feel they are coming to a job character-ized by Hobbes’s state of nature, where every-thing’s nasty, brutish and short, then that carries over to the students. A good head of school works with others to establish and maintain an environ-ment where people can do their best work. It’s also really fun work, like I said before. Because it’s an art. Because there’s no right answer. Because it’s not predictable. TOM: You articulated that beautifully. I com-pletely agree. It’s enormously fun, and it’s also funny. I can rate the quality of my day on how often I laugh. And I laugh a lot most days! Kids at all ages are smart and hilarious.PAUL: You see that door behind me? It’s the door to the hallway. For three days in a row now, there’s been a knock on my door at 2:45 in the afternoon, when the Elementary School gets out. And each time, it’s been several six-year-old girls from down the hall. And the ﬁrst time, they came in and said, “We want to say goodbye.” I ﬁgured they had heard I was retiring and this was their Goodbye, Mr. Chips. But no, they just wanted to say goodbye for the day. And then they continued to do that the next day and the next. I have a feel-ing that they’re going to say goodbye to me every day until I retire. And that’s lovely. TOM: Here’s another thing. This is my 12th nonconsecutive year at Riverdale, and I was seven years at another school as well. But every class I’ve taught at both schools, every day — and I teach advanced physics, which isn’t most people’s idea of a good time — without fail, every day, when kids walk out of my room, they say thank you. Not because anyone told them they had to. Not because there’s a rule. Not because we enforce some sort of rigid hierarchical student/teacher dynamic but because there’s a genuine apprecia-tion for learning. Q: So how do you avoid burnout? How do you manage the stresses that come with being head of school? TOM: It would be a lie to say that there aren’t bad days. And there have been a few moments in my career that have shaken me to my core. But that’s also why I teach. I have to go to class every single day and be in community with 15 or 20 students who want an adult in front of them who’s going to care for them and teach them something. That’s it. And so on bad days, on awful days, you go to class anyway, and you keep going. That work keeps you going. Talk about a fountain of youth. It’s perhaps trite to say, but the students really do make sure that there is something to show up for every single day. Even the hardest days. PAUL: I think, for me, it’s pretty much a con-stant — “struggle” might be too strong a word — a constant back-and-forth between acknowledging the part of the glass that’s empty and the part of the glass that’s full. I can tool around Paideia’s campus in a golf cart, and I can pass under a tree and say, “That looks like a limb that could fall on somebody. What if it falls? What could go wrong here?” At the same time, I can ﬁnd moments of joyful interaction on that same golf cart ride around campus. I think you have to have both viewpoints in this job. Because things can go wrong. So, I fret. I’m a good fretter. Ask my wife. I can worry. Q: What do you hope to see Paideia becoming in ﬁve years? TOM: It’s hard to answer that when I’m so new. Right now, I think of myself as a custodian of something that’s already been built and that’s really special. I do think there are qualities that drew me here that, in my mind, we need to ensure remain. There’s an ethos of loving humor that pervades the school, for example. If you walk around Paideia and are not hearing laughter in ﬁve years, I have done something terribly, terribly wrong! There is also a sense, from the students who graduate, that they know the power of their voices to change the world for the better. I hope that in ﬁve years that sensibility has continued if not deepened. I hope the school continues to be on the forefront both regionally and nationally, as we keep think-ing about what it means to be an independent school that is also inclusive. All independent schools are grappling with that question right now. That’s work that’s going to be really import-ant in the coming years.Tom aged two years and Paul aged two and a half yearsYo u Say Goodbye, and I Say Hello

And I also think there is a deeply felt sense of community at Paideia that you cannot escape when you’re on campus — a fondness for one another among the faculty and students and par-ents, in equal measure. Particularly as the Junior High moves across the street, I hope that fond-ness, that care for each other, is not diminished. PAUL: I love everything you said, Tom. I hope you already know that. A line was written early on in our school brochure: School should be a place one looks forward to going in the morning and is somewhat reluctant to leave at the end of the day. That has certainly been true for me. I had my advisee group this morning, 10 seniors, and we were talking about community. And I asked them: In what ways has Paideia been a com-munity for you? They said diﬀerent things, but it all had to do with feeling cared for by each other and by the adults. And how empowering that was. Q: If you could go into the library and check out a book solely for pleasure reading, what would it be? PAUL: I read politics and history. I also teach those subjects, of course, but I read them for pleasure as well. Right now, I’m reading “The Gatekeepers,” by Chris Whipple, a proﬁle of presidential chiefs of staﬀ beginning with Kennedy and going up until Trump. I’m fascinated by it. That’s what I gravi-tate toward. That’s my pleasure reading. TOM: For a long time, I had a poster in my oﬃce, someone’s list of 100 great novels — and it was a scratch-oﬀ. Every time you ﬁnished a book, you could scratch the name oﬀ. I worked my way through those. Today, I’d probably be checking out the Booker Prize winners — I tend to read the Booker winners for fun. I didn’t read much ﬁction until the past 10 years. But when I discovered the beauty of some of these novels, that’s what I wanted to read. I have a stack of ﬁction next to my bed. Once I’m done with my PhD, I’ll have a little bit more time for them. PAUL: And it’s not like you’re taking on a major job or anything. So, you’re going to have plenty of time for reading.TOM: Or taking on a move across country. PAUL: Or a move. Or ﬁnding a dentist. TOM: Yes, that’s what everyone’s worried about [laughs].But if I can go back to your question on burnout for a minute: If anything was going to burn me out, it would be the year we all sat on Zoom for everything, at the start of the pandemic. I am painfully extroverted, and that human interaction within a school is so vital – to my experience of it, anyway. That ﬁrst year of COVID-19 was truly enervating. Thankfully, we’re back from the worst of that. PAUL: I have a watercolor here in my oﬃce that has an expression on it: After ecstasy, the laundry. It’s a great line for schools. You can walk into your oﬃce from some high-as-a-kite experience, where you just can’t believe that life could be so full, and something will happen that you can’t ﬁx. Or that is extremely diﬃcult.It’s humbling. This work is humbling. TOM: It is that. It is absolutely humbling. You’ve captured it, Paul. That has been my experi-ence at Riverdale, and I’m sure yours as well. I’ll be at a choral concert, or a play, or game, seeing kids do amazing things, and I’ll go to a meeting with faculty who are having incredible ideas, and then I’ll get back to my oﬃce to an email that is just a gut punch. But then I get to go back to all those other things, and things balance out again. PAUL: If one needs a high degree of predictabil-ity in life, head of school is probably not a great job for you. 9There’s an ethos of loving humor that pervades the school

10TOM: No. [Imitates sound of alarm.] Fire alarms going oﬀ! Time to evacuate the building!PAUL: Yep. Q: What’s something that the Paideia community would be surprised to learn about each of you? TOM: Well, an easy one is that I was born in Omaha. I identify myself as an East Coaster, but way down, my roots are in Omaha. But for something more exciting, I can tell you that I have been known, on occasion, to juggle knives and ﬂaming torches. PAUL: Is that a metaphor or is that real?TOM: Both! Juggling was a big hobby of mine in college. I can still do it. It’s one of those skills like riding a bike. I can still light up the torches and start tossing them. PAUL: Something people at Paideia might not know about me is that I may be less conﬁdent than people see me as being. I do think I’m moderately conﬁdent. And I’ve become more conﬁdent in my work over the past, oh, two decades [laughs]. But still, I’m less so than people see me as being. That might surprise them.Q: Finally, can you take us back to what you were like in high school. Give us one or two sentences about who that young man was, and where he thought he’d wind up in life. TOM: I was a smartass in high school. PAUL: A what?TOM: A smartass.PAUL: Did it get you in trouble? TOM: Oh, yeah. It deﬁnitely got me in trouble. I lacked humility. I thought I knew better than everyone. I thought I was going to be a famous actor. And I liked attention. I liked to sit in the back of the classroom but draw as much attention away from the front as I could.I hope I’ve channeled some of those baser desires into more produc-tive things now. But even back then, I always loved school. I always liked learning. I was curious. I didn’t make it easy on my teachers, and I’m eternally grateful to them for putting up with me anyway. Q: You don’t want to share any speciﬁcs of what kind of trouble you got into? TOM: [Laughing] Maybe not yet. I need to build up a little more street cred with the Paideia community ﬁrst.PAUL: You’re new. Don’t show ’em all your cards yet.As for me, in high school I was engaged, competitive, ambitious, funny. I have a disposition to be present. Call it mindfulness without the jargon — though don’t tell my wife I said that last part. I enjoyed people. It was important for me to be liked, and I devel-oped skills to be included. I contracted polio when I was ﬁve, so a key challenge for me growing up was what can you be included in and what you can’t be included in. So, you ﬁgure it out; you practice at it. You ﬁgure out where you’re going to be included and what the variables are. I might have been that same kind of kid anyway, even if I hadn’t had polio, but you don’t know for sure. One of Paideia’s values is appreciation of the present. And I was that kid. I hopped out of bed in the morning and looked ahead to the day. And the day was always school for me. I’ve been going to school since I was ﬁve years old. That’s a long time of going to school. I didn’t take a personality U-turn between then and now. I’m just an older version of that same kid who hopped out of bed eager to start the day. Though hopefully I’m a little cooler by now. TOM: I’m still a smartass, too. PAUL: That’s good, actually. That some-times comes in handy.Q: Any ﬁnal thoughts or comments on the transition from Paul to Tom as head of school for Paideia? TOM: I don’t know if Paul knows this, but he’s someone I’ve known of for a long time. I’ve had friends from college who now have kids at Paideia, and a neighbor of mine was a Paideia alum — so Paul Bianchi was always this name that was out there as a school leader. Paul and I have biweekly phone calls right now [in the weeks leading up to the transition], and it’s been one of the joys of this process for me. I’m just enormously grateful for the chance to absorb, listen and learn from him. It’s been really fun, especially after all these years of hearing about this person. Who, turns out, is also just a normal dude. No oﬀense, Paul!PAUL: When we went into the search process last year, the most important thing for Barbara and me was that the process be as suc-cessful and as positive as possible — and that we come out of it with optimism for the institution that we’ve spent our lives helping build. I’ve said this only four times in the last day, but I haven’t yet said it to you directly, Tom. So here it is. If I had called up central casting for this role, they would have sent you. You’re it. We’re glad you’re here.If I had called up central casting for this role, they would have sent you. you’re it.Yo u Say Goodbye, and I Say Hello

Facultty and Sttaff FarewwellNISHA SIMAMAWhy did you choose Paideia?When my oldest daughter was probably three I was looking for schools. I probably visited 15-20 schools looking for a school for a little three-year-old. I had heard about Paideia through some friends, so I came here and observed a Half Day class. I liked it a lot because it ﬁt into my philosophy of education. It had an open concept and was very child-centered. I felt good about what I saw and the philosophy of the school. So, in 1982, my four-year-old started in Charlotte Walbert’s class. My daughter stayed through Junior High in 1992. My youngest daughter came to the Half Day while my older daughter was in High School. I got a call from someone on the board who said “You might want to talk to Paul.” That fall, I started part-time here because I was teaching at Clark Atlanta University.How did you navigate the many changes that the school has experienced through the years, and what’s your best advice as we navigate big changes this year? Change is inevitable. Organizations are always changing. We like to think of ourselves as a communi-ty, but being in any organization for a long period of time you’re going to see it morph because of the personalities that enter the space. You ﬂex with sociocultural elements impacting society. We have changed so much because of technology. The best thing you can do is you can ride the wave. You can see the change coming and try to prepare. As it comes, we can’t rely on the old ways. One of the things about Paideia is that we have talked about the past as if it were the only way to do things and it’s not. Because we’ve all changed. Don’t be afraid of change. Look at it. Look at the positives. Look at the negatives. Adjust your behavior based on what you can glean as the most positive aspects. What is the best piece of advice that you could give newer members of our community? First of all, Paideia is not the easiest community to learn how to be a part of; take your time and seek out support. Observe what you see is happening around you. It takes time to be a part of it. Don’t get discouraged. Some things that you think ought to happen in a particular way, it may not happen. It may not be what should happen anyway. It’s time. Seek help. Seek people who can help you under-stand. Tease it out and make your space in it. I think there is a possibility of carving out your own space at Paideia. The last thing I’ve been thinking about, one of the things I have always liked about Paideia, is that I have always felt that the teachers love the students. If you’ve got that, you’ve got it. Learning can happen in that environment.What’s your favorite Paideia tradition or memory?The sing-along in the Elementary School. I would go over to the sing-along everytime when my kids were in Elementary School. It’s the last day of school. Paul plays the piano and the kids sing along. My favorite part is when they walk out singing “This Little Light of Mine.” And I’m telling you, that’s the song. That’s the moment. They sing “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.” One of the civil rights anthems. One of the black-church anthems. I reminded Paul of that a couple years ago, that moment and its meaning to the school.What are you looking forward to in retirement?A lot of time to do volunteer work. I’m volunteering with a health center that provides health services to underserved citizens. I am on an advisory board for Grady’s DEIB initiative. I am on an environmental/sustainability eﬀort through the Partnership for Southern Equity. I’m looking for-ward to some downtime too. I’ve been working all my life, since I was 16. I’ll play some pickleball. Nisha Simama origi-nally came to Paideia in 1984 as a Half Day parent. She was an active member of the Black Parents Or-ganization, working closely with George Howell. She served on the Board of Trustees during the construc-tion of the theater. In 1992, she was asked to talk with Paul about a new role, multicultural coordinator. Nisha began the diversity program before diver-sity was something people were talking about. She and Paul organized Paideia’s ﬁrst-ever Race Day in 1993. She worked to establish Faculty and Board Diversity Groups and developed Paideia’s sexual-harassment poli-cy. After more than 30 years of service, Nisha retired this spring.Q&AIf you could sum up your experience at Paideia in one word, what would it be?A journey, spiritual12

Page 15

If you could sum up your experience at Paideia in one word, what would it be?FulﬁllingWhy did you choose Paideia?Paideia was very accidental. I didn’t apply until the summer. They suddenly had a vacancy for an English teacher. They’d had diﬃcult times the year before I came. I was in a program at Georgia State for clinical psychology and I was working at a psychiatric hospital here in Atlanta. I had been teaching more at that hospital because it was a hos-pital for adolescents. And I discovered that I enjoyed the teaching more than I enjoyed counseling.

Mary Lynn has been retired for a couple years now, and it makes sense for both of us to be retired, to spend more time together and travel.JOSEPH CULLENJoseph Cullen applied to Paideia in 1986 while working on his master’s in clinical psychology at Georgia State. Joseph hadn’t planned to become a teacher, but fed up with grad school, he was excited for a change in career. Despite the hard-ships of his ﬁrst couple years of teaching, he was very happy to become an English teacher and found joy sorting through books in secondhand bookstores. Being able to teach English as his career felt like a dream, and he made it his life’s work. While working at Paideia, he met his wife, Mary Lynn, and all of their children — and now, even one of their grand-children — have attended Paideia. Joseph retired this spring after 37 years and said, “It’s kind of nice to go out under the shade of Paul retiring.” He once said, “When the pharaoh dies, his horse gets buried with him.”Q&A13Farewwellfriends!

Facultty and Sttaff FarewwellWILLIAM TYUSWilliam Tyus came to Paideia in 1997, join-ing the maintenance team. He could often be spotted driving the Gator around campus. Throughout his time at Paideia, William has befriended many students and teachers. He has an easygoing personality and enjoys joking around and playing with students, especially those in the High School. William retired this spring after 25 years of service. If you have walked on Paideia’s campus, you have probably seen William Tyus. William has always been focused on the community as a whole. This reﬂects in his actions on campus whether prioritizing the needs of teachers and their classrooms or pitching in with his team to complete a project. William is a man with a big heart and few words, so we reached out to Paul Bianchi to further describe William’s contributions to Paideia: “William Tyus is not only a dedicated employee of the school but also a lovely addition to the community. Many times I have seen William cross the elementary playground being greeted by students of all ages and sometimes catching or kicking the ball that comes his way. School culture thrives on people like William. We have loved him since the day he arrived.”If you could sum up your experience at Paideia in one word, what would it be?LaughterWhy did you choose Paideia?My uncle was working here and oﬀered me the job.How did you navigate the many changes that the school has experienced through the years, and what’s your best advice as we navigate big changes this year?

If you could sum up your experience at Paideia in one word, what would it be?Stressful but gratifying. Sorry, three words, it can’t be one. Why did you choose Paideia?My sister-in-law asked, I assume for Paideia, if I’d be interested in doing the yearbook. My three sons were at Paideia, I liked the school and I liked the idea. After a few years, I wondered if that idea could be more realistic and ultimately made it happen. It has been a pretty good place to create a yearly book.How did you navigate the many changes that the school has experienced through the years, and what’s your best advice as we navigate big changes this year? I stayed focused on my own job ﬁrst and foremost, what the vision was for the yearbook that year, and I always tried to make it better than the year before.What is the best piece of advice that you could give newer members of our community? Visit the playgrounds, volunteer, go to school events and ﬁnd ways to meet people at all levels of the school. What’s your favorite Paideia tradition or memory?If I had to only say one tradition, it would be the Latino Parent Group’s Dia de los Muertos Celebration. But I also love the BBQ a lot. Getting the “giggles that won’t stop” with yearbook staﬀ is another favorite memory.What are you looking forward to in retirement?No more yearbook deadlines! Time to travel during oﬀ-seasons. Time to clean my house and time to clear my brain of yearbooks. I hope to visit all the museums where my favorite art is, go to at least one opera in every country I visit, learn how to properly dance the Carolina Shag and, for sure, learn to dance Bollywood-style.

24This August the Paideia School expands across Ponce de Leon, ushering in a new era of creative learning and academic opportunity for the Junior High, as well as improved programs for the entire Paideia student body. Building a New LegacyDuring the past 10 years, student life at Paideia has evolved. As our students continue to excel in athletics, ﬁne arts and academics, one notable area being STEAM education, a need for more space became clear. The project that we have come to know as the new Junior High originated approximately seven years ago as a way to accommodate educational advancements at all levels of the school. “I can remember going over to the new property with Mary Lynn Cullen years before the COVID-19 pandemic and just standing there by ourselves, thinking, ‘What makes sense to go over here?’” recounts Junior High Principal Jennifer Cox. “Paul and the board didn’t buy the property with an exact plan. They were thinking about the future and what programs the school might add as it moves forward. They knew that we needed an expansion.” On February 8, 2022, the Paideia School broke ground on the new Junior High building located at 1368 Ponce de Leon. As a land-locked campus in a thriving neighborhood in one of the South’s largest and busiest cities, ﬁnding space to expand was challenging. When the 1368 property was made available to the Paideia School, it provided the opportunity to grow within our neighborhood and into a space that reﬂects the history and character of the main campus. Through the Paideia@50 Capital Campaign, the need to expand was actualized in the construction of a new Junior High and the retroﬁtting of multiple buildings on the main campus. As the Junior High moves, it opens up space in their current building, which will be renamed Oakdale Hall, for a new STEAM studio, as well as art and photography labs. As classes move to Oakdale Hall, the High School is able to retroﬁt their science rooms, allowing for a new chemistry and forensics lab. The move also opens up potential new space for the Elementary School.As project manager, Laura Hardy has overseen every construction project and renovation since the Music and Art Center (MAC) build-ing in 2000. Serving as the Junior High project owner representative, Laura has seen the project through since day one and has teamed up with members of the Perkins & Will Architecture ﬁrm and the general contractors from Hodges & Hicks to bring their concepts to life. “The design and construction of the Junior High has been a collaborative process with administrators, faculty and the Building Committee of the board,” says Laura.Strength in Numbers The growth Paideia has experienced during the past 52 years would not have been possible without the support of our community. The Paideia@50 Campaign was launched in 2020 in celebration of Paideia’s ﬁrst 50 years to beneﬁt the school during its next 50 years. The academic campus expansion seeks to create opportunity and invest in the community, values and future of Paideia. Campaign Co-Chair Allegra Hardy believes Paideia’s values motivated our community during fundraising, saying, “The way the Paideia commu-nity came together in support of this campaign speaks to the social responsibility that is so integral to our community — this school isn’t just for our individual children, but for generations of children throughout our broader community. We lived our values in working together to expand opportunities for teaching and learning on our campus.”

Page 27

25Speaking of the campaign’s success, Campaign Co-Chair Scott Schnell notes, “During the past 50 years, alums, alumni parents, current parents and grandparents have made Paideia a philanthropic priority. The tens of millions of dollars that we have raised enabled Paideia to fund buildings and programs that allow our faculty to be creative and our kids to thrive. The success of this campaign and construction of the new building and retroﬁt of many buildings on campus would not be possible without the collective power and enthusiastic support of the Paideians who have loved and served our school for the past ﬁve decades. I am conﬁdent that the successful completion of the campaign will ensure that our school will continue to be a place that celebrates learning, belonging and community for the next 50 years.”Keeping the CharacterDriving down Ponce de Leon, one can only imagine the possibilities that await inside the new building as one catches a quick glimpse. At its center is the original 1368 house, which stylistically ties the new building to many of Paideia’s older buildings on our main campus. “From the outset, we wanted to preserve the residential character of this site in Druid Hills as much as possible while still meeting the needs of a modern Junior High School program,” says Building Committee Chair John Bencich. “Renovating the original house keeps the focus on the historic home while allowing the space to be repurposed.” Emulating that architectural style and character remained essential to the design of the new three-story building. “As we talked with the architects, Paul [Bianchi] and Laura [Hardy] contributed ideas,” says Jennifer. “We decided that we should use residential materials that reﬂect the architecture that already exists on the main campus. It doesn’t look like a house, but it’s got brick and earth tones and a gabled roof,” she notes.The intentional planning of the new Junior High ensures that it is not only a space that provides teachers and students with essential resources but one that incorporates our values. A new building does not impact the community’s ability to live out our values, such as empathy or social responsibility, but the new resources it oﬀers us can shape our perspective and the context in which we understand and experience these values. As Jennifer reminds us, “We’re steeped in the Paideia community. It’s not like we’re going to move across the street and lose that philosophy about how we teach and why we do what we do. We’ll just be on the other side of Ponce.”An Environmental CommitmentAn inﬂuential value in the Junior High’s design and construction was the school’s commitment to the environment and the preserva-tion and protection of natural resources. “We wanted a building that performed to a high standard, so we used LEED as a benchmark,” says John. When clearing the property for construction, the team chose to preserve the original house, as well as dozens of existing magnolia, oak, cherry and maple trees on the property. Sustainability was at the heart of construction plans. Even though the team decided not to pursue LEED Silver Certiﬁcation due to its cost, the architects aﬃrm the building would easily pass certiﬁcation. The new Junior High is set to outperform other LEED-certiﬁed buildings on campus because of advancements in systems, technol-ogy and architectural standards. “We were able to integrate these standards in a number of ways,” says John. “We selected plumbing ﬁxtures which would reduce water consumption; our rooﬁng materials are light in color, which reduces the absorption of heat by the building, making it easier to cool; our air conditioning is designed to be adaptable for each classroom so that if one teacher chooses to teach with windows open, the system knows this and can shut down without impacting another classroom where a teacher may have windows closed — a ﬁrst for our campus; lighting is all low-heat, low-energy LED, another campus ﬁrst; and many material choices from insulation to drywall to carpeting feature 50% or higher recycled content.”

Page 28

26New Space, New OpportunitiesThe building’s layout remains similar to the current Junior High. There will be an indoor common area where students can socialize; each homebase will have their two adjoining classrooms to allow for team-teaching and integrated programs; and there will be a grass lawn, a basketball half-court, an artiﬁcial turf green and a large porch where students can run and play or enjoy an outdoor class. With 30% more space, the new building oﬀers plenty of room for teachers and students to experiment and create. Two multipurpose rooms have the potential to host small-group projects, breakout classes and study sessions. The STEAM program will have three classrooms: a design space, a makerspace and an art room, each of which opens up new avenues for learning. “Our STEAM committee who has been working on this throughout the year, along with iLeap, have arranged for all of the teachers to commit to at least one project in the STEAM space,” explains Junior High Assistant Principal Eddy Hernandez. “They still have autonomy and freedom to do what they want while also thinking about other ways to incorporate curriculum into these new spaces and resources.”Being across the street, separated by one of the busiest roads in Atlan-ta, Ponce de Leon, students’ ability to cross over to the main campus during the day is limited. Aside from safety concerns, the walk would be time-consuming. Instead, resources such as the orchestra, band and chorus rooms will be recreated in the new Junior High building. “I’m looking forward to having chorus, band, orchestra and art all in the same building, which we don’t have now,” says Eddy. Students will no longer have to walk across campus for art and music classes. Additionally, the vaulted space set aside for the chorus can be utilized as an assembly space for Junior High meetings, special presentations, movies, concerts and other community events. “It’s going to make it much easier for us to do assemblies and gatherings with the whole Junior High,” Eddy notes. “Right now, it can be hard to ﬁnd space. We actually can’t comfort-ably ﬁt everyone in the Black Box anymore. In the new building, there’s space for everyone.”Staying ConnectedMoving across the street, there are concerns that the Junior High will become isolated from the rest of the Paideia community. Eddy re-minds everyone, “Since we’re in the middle, maintaining connection with the other school levels comes organically.” Whether it is playing on a Junior Varsity sports team, working with the Paideia Urban Agriculture program or performing the Junior High musical in the main theater, the Junior High will still be a visible and involved part of our community. “Because we can’t just walk down to the main cam-pus, we have to be more intentional about staying connected,” says Jennifer. This intention looks like mobile library visits from librarian Anna Watkins and weekly technology visits to support teachers and students. “We’ve gone down so many rabbit holes to try to pre-think as much as we can about the structures and systems we need to have in place: Where does everyone park? How do we make carpool work? What about technology support? We’ve thought through access to programs that can become mobile. We’ve talked to all of these people about being creative with how we stay connected,” she adds. Keeping the community connected during a transition this large requires many conversations and decisions. Solid communication and creative ideas from Jennifer, Eddy, De’Andria Griggs, the entire Junior High faculty and incoming Head of School Tom Taylor will continue to drive intentional connection. Tom will join the Junior High as a math teacher, fostering his own special bond between the main campus and the Junior High. “He was talking about the possibility of teaching and being the head of school, which of course is a tradition that we have,” says Jennifer. “And I said, ‘Oh, you should teach in the Junior High because that would actually get your body across the street.’ He was super excited about it. It connects kids to him and they’ll see more of him in High School. It’s a great way for him to get to know our community and for us to feel connected to the rest of campus.”A New Chapter with New TraditionsWith construction nearing completion and a move of gargantuan proportion only weeks away, administration and teachers have a lot on their minds. Despite the natural stress and worry, there is excitement. “I think the students are going to love it. I think they will appreciate having a new place to call home — it’s special,” Eddy notes. Jennifer adds, “It’s exciting to walk through a new space and make it your own. The students who are a part of the ﬁrst several groups over there will really have a chance to establish traditions and ways of being a ‘Junior High Paideia student.’” Walking through Paideia’s campus, there are many quirks and sym-bols that distinguish personalities throughout our history. Homebase teacher Elly Bookman says she “[looks] forward to having a blank-slate classroom to decorate and arrange.” The Junior High homebase classrooms have the opportunity to bring their personality to life. During the last move, Jennifer recalled many teachers hanging onto physical structures. She remembers, “One teacher had this tradition in her classroom of students owning the mantel for a week during the year and students would decorate it with family pictures and the things they were passionate about, symbols of who they were. She felt like it would be tragic to lose that mantel, so we found an old mantel and put it in her room. She didn’t have a ﬁreplace, but it still served that purpose. Whatever that is for these teachers and their students, we’ll ﬁnd a way to keep those things.”In any new space, teachers and students would be able to establish themselves and make their space uniquely theirs. What makes the new Junior High special are the resources that will empower them to create a new culture and new traditions through the innovation of their curriculum. Speaking of the possibilities, Jennifer says, “I know one day some teacher will come into my oﬃce and say ‘I have this great idea! Do you think I could use the multipurpose space?’ and I’ll get to say ‘Oh, absolutely!’ And it will become one of our traditions and one of the ways that we use this new Junior High.”As the ﬁrst students enter the Junior High this fall, they will be greeted by an enthusiastic and inventive team of administrators and teachers ready to walk with them and encourage them through the transition of this next school year — and their Junior High years — something that remains a core mission of faculty no matter where they go. Thank you to our community for enabling the creation of this space. We are thrilled to see what the next 50 years of Paideia’s Junior High will hold.The neww Junior High provvides essenttial resources, but t also incorporattes our vvalues.

During the 2022-23 school year, Paideia hosted two speakers to help support the im-portant work we do around creating a beloved community. Bettina Love and Okorie Johnson used dialogue and music to work with students, parents, faculty and sta to use our talents and skills to realize the world we want to create and live in. Following these visits, we asked Bettina and Okorie three questions. Here’s what they had to say: Bettina LoveHow do we maintain relationships with friends and family members whose views diﬀer from our own?I believe that no one is disposable and everyone has the ability to change. I try my best to listen to people I don’t agree with to understand why they feel the way they feel to gain insight into how I can have a productive conversation that leads to more conversation. The goal is to keep dialogue going, so we can hear each other’s points of views. How do we navigate mistakes, both our own and those of others, as we grow in our understanding of inclusivity?I understand that mistakes are part of the process. I don’t live with the idea of perfectionism. We grow when we fumble, picking ourselves up with grace, love and in community with others. What’s the best way for members of the Paideia community to actively work for equality in their day-to-day lives?The goal for all of us is to approach human interactions with grace and understanding. Staying curious about what we don’t know, and taking steps daily to challenge our assumptions and challenge the struc-tures and systems that rely on those assumptions to oppress people. Okorie JohnsonHow do we maintain relationships with friends and family members whose views diﬀer from our own?This is going to sound strange, but I do believe that though we are all invested in what we believe, I don’t believe that we are our beliefs. There are plenty of people with whom I agree politically, but with whom I may not get along or even support their values. What you believe is part of who you are — not all of who you are — particularly because, for many of us, our values are always evolving and changing. It’s important to remember these things before we judge people who have opinions that do not align with our own opinions. That said, we don’t have to be around people, even family, who are combative or attempt to make us feel bad about our beliefs, or even try to foist their beliefs on us.How do we navigate mistakes, both our own and those of others, as we grow in our understanding of inclusivity?That’s hard. All of this is easier to deal with when we acknowledge that these are all ideas and we are learning how to negotiate them and the rate at which they are changing. And, for some of us, these are not just ideas — they are our identities, our investments and our work. And when someone makes a mistake with these delicate parts of our person, especially if it is repeated, then it is hard to be gracious. However, I think we can tell when someone is trying to get it right or simply doesn’t care about getting it right. When someone is trying, I think it is in everybody’s best interest to meet that person with grace, especially when they make mistakes. The same goes for ourselves. If we are trying to do the work of having integrity in our eﬀort to be inclusive, then I think even when it is tense or diﬃcult, we can be gracious and forgiving with ourselves.What’s the best way for members of the Paideia community to actively work for equality in their day-to-day lives?I think being curious is the posture that gets the work done. Who is around me? What do I know about the various communities and perspectives that make up my world? Do I make people come to me cultural-ly or do I travel to where they are? Do I contribute to making my world inclusive, safe and inviting for the people that are in my community? Do I make space for others, particularly those who are not like me? Do I acknowledge the power I have in my world, do I use it responsibly and am I accountable when I don’t? Am I seeking to understand more than I am interested in being understood? If we are all asking these questions, we will make space for each other.helping support our belovvedcommunity27
