It's the "in-between" moments - the unpolished ones - that help us become who we are: the joy, the struggle, the conversations, the discomfort, the realizations. At Pine Point we learned how to be a good human, how to think about others, how to practice bravery, how to wonder, and importantly how to love learning. I'm so grateful my parents found their way to Pine Point, and even more grateful Pine Point became a core part of my children's lives.

In honor of PPS 9th Graders

Over the past 30 years, I've been privy to PPS's continued growth as a parent and husband. As a parent, I witnessed two kind, smart 3-year-olds benefit from PPS's nurturing environment and leave as strong, independent fourteen-year-olds. Together, we truly created two individuals with strong minds and caring hearts. Pine Point, I am forever grateful for your partnership.

Walking through the doors will always feel like “coming home”. Pine Point not only gave me a strong educational foundation, but also taught me strong moral values that have continued to shape the person I am today. My wonderful experience as a student drove me to return as an educator to ensure future generations of students would always feel like it was their home too.
