Alums Return to the Hill

A whopping 32% of the interns and faculty that make up the Eaglebrook Summer Semester staff this year are Eaglebrook alums. Some of these people also teach during the regular school year at Eaglebrook, but many are here just for the four-week summer program. “I wanted a new experience working with kids to see how I liked working in the world of education,” says Andrew Warner ’10, who is here as an intern this summer. Andrew went on to say that coming back to Eaglebrook as a teacher rather than a student is “a lot different than I thought it would be. You get to see how much work it is to be a teacher here, which is something you never think about when you are a student.”

Karl Koenigsbauer, who directs the summer program, added, “They (the alums) are committed and dedicated to the mission of the school because they have lived it. They represent what we are seeing in our students, and it is great modeling for those students to see our alums giving back to the school.” Learn more about Eaglebrook Summer Semester program at www.eaglebrook.org/summersemester.
