While he wasn’t a graduate, George Scharfe’s blood ran Cardinal Red since the moment we went on our tour. He loved the GOVS community, gave much of his time and talent, and his support of faculty was unmatched. As a proud Opa, I know he would be bursting with pride for our GOVS grad this year, Emily Prinn. We are so proud of you, Emily!

The education I received from (The) Governor (Dummer)'s Academy continues to this day to give me an appreciation of philosophy, science, athleticism, and learning as a lifetime pursuit. Upon looking back, these 4 areas give me the most satisfaction in life (besides family).
