The grass is not greener out there!

I spent the last four days participating in an accreditation visit at one of peer schools in New England. Each of our schools is accredited every ten years by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). I have to admit that as I worked to help evaluate the subject school, my thoughts also regularly returned to Winchendon. There is the old adage about the grass always being brighter on the other side, but in this case the more I saw of the impressive school that I was visiting, the more it confirmed for me just how special and compelling Winchendon is. When I arrived back last evening, it was a thrill to to see all of the members of our community. It felt great to come home to the Winchendon School.
