community. Indeed, I was nurtured in the classroom, a community of learning where I grew both personally and academically.

At Wakefield, I have developed into an informed, active citizen, inspired by the school’s goal of enriching its students and the community as a whole.” -Wakefield Education Foundation Scholar, Class of 2011
