Faculty Spotlight

During the 2017-18 school year, we want to honor our deserving faculty members. When you make a gift to the Pennington Fund, you can send a note of appreciation to your favorite teacher and/or your child/grandchild’s favorite teacher.

Every month, we will feature six Pennington teachers. To learn more about them, click on their picture below:
