Reception Welcomes Head of Upper School Fletcher Carr
It was an evening to celebrate Head of Upper School Fletcher Carr and his wife, Adria, at a welcome reception held in their honor September 22 in The Dalton Family Hall of Benjamin Hall.
Head of School Bob Goldberg greeted parents, faculty and school administrators and introduced Carr to the host of attendees who enjoyed an elegant spread of hors d'ouveres and desserts throughout the festivities. "I am delighted an individual of such fine character, proven ability and exceptional background has joined our school family in this senior leadership position," said Goldberg. "Of over 100 candidates showing interest in our opening, Fletcher catapulted to the very top of our national search. We were determined to pursue his experience, intellect, education, professional talents and genuine concern for children for this top leadership post in our Upper School. We are thrilled the Carr's have joined our school community, as well as their two children, son Lowell (grade 10) and daughter Wells (grade 9), who are members of our upper school student body."
