Chatham Hall is in the very exciting position of carrying out the final pieces of its most recent strategic plan and developing a new plan.

Beyond these dynamic initiatives, we have also looked closely at diversity, equity, and inclusion, wanting to ensure that we are providing role models for all of our students in this diverse and warm community as well as a curriculum that reflects the world in which we live. To that end, we have engaged consultant Trina Gary, principal consultant at Brown-Gary Associates, LLC, who carried out our climate assessment and led several professional development workshops on the topic of implicit bias and other pertinent subjects. Additionally, we have engaged Ayo Magwood, principal of Uprooting Inequity to educate adults on the history of race and racism. Chatham Hall is committed to ensuring that students and adults feel included in this diverse community. Lisa Damour has worked with the faculty on the trauma that has impacted students and teachers in recent years, as well as what it means to be a teenager in these times.
