Two New Trustees Emeriti Announced<br />
at 85th Anniversary Celebration Event<br />
In October, the Highland community came together to<br />
celebrate its 85th anniversary and welcome two new Trustees<br />
Emeriti, Marshall D. Doeller (8th, ‘67) and Paul G. Rice.<br />
The Sunday evening event, held the same weekend as the<br />
International Gold Cup, included great memories, music,<br />
and the return of some familiar faces to the Highland<br />
Center for the Arts. Those in attendance, which included<br />
past board members, former faculty and staff, and alumni,<br />
heard opening remarks from Chairman of the Board Tim<br />
Dunn and Head of School Hank Berg and enjoyed a short<br />
film looking back at the school’s history.<br />
Mr. Dunn and Mr. Berg introduced Mr. Doeller and<br />
Mr. Rice. Marshall Doeller, who graduated from Highland<br />
School as an 8th grader in 1967, served on the Board<br />
of Trustees from 1992 until 2004. As Chairman of the<br />
Board from 1997 to 2004, Mr. Doeller was instrumental<br />
in implementing an ambitious 10-year Master Plan that<br />
included the construction of Highland’s Upper School,<br />
which officially opened in 1996. This represented a time<br />
of unprecedented growth for Highland School.<br />
Mr. Rice served on the Board of Trustees from 2004<br />
to 2012. He was Chairman of the Board from 2006<br />
to 2012 and, along with his wife Gina, was instrumental<br />
in the design and construction of the Highland Center<br />
for the Arts and The Rice Theater.<br />
The Trustee Emeritus program at Highland School was<br />
formally revised in January of 2014. The first to receive the<br />
honor, which recognizes former Board of Trustees members<br />
for their service and generosity, was William A. Hazel.<br />
Mr. Dunn also took the opportunity to announce the<br />
contract extension of Highland’s Head of School Hank Berg<br />
until June 2018. Mr. Berg has guided the school through<br />
a massive expansion in both facilities and curriculum since<br />
taking the helm in 2004.<br />
