Congratulations to Jesse Breite, Upper School English teacher, who has been selected as an NEH Summer Scholar from a national applicant pool to attend one of twenty-one NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops. The National Endowment for the Humanities is a federal agency that each year supports summer study opportunities so that teachers can work with experts in humanities disciplines.
Breite will participate in a workshop entitled “Sailing to Freedom: New Bedford and the Underground Railroad.” The one-week program will be held in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and is directed by Lee Blake.
Seventy-two teachers from across the United States were selected to participate in the program.
