All of my classmates made Bancroft a very special place. I would say that Mrs McKuchen, and Mr. White influence my skill development, and George O"Brian, the school custodian, helped me develop my character. He was a great listener, down to earth, a mentor.

I got my start at Bancroft in the fall of 1997, and I remain deeply grateful to have begun my career in a school community that held such a strong respect for teaching and learning. My three years there were formative, shaped by exceptional faculty and staff who supported and mentored me in lasting ways. It is a genuine pleasure to give back.
