Special Guests in High School

This week, Michael Thompson and Rob Evans, two notable authors and school consultants, visited Island School to present to students, faculty, board of trustee members, and parents. Student assemblies were divided between the Middle and High School. The High School assembly, Under Pressure, was focused on stress causes and stress management in high school students.

Evans is a child and family therapist who has authored three books and consulted with schools throughout the world. Together, their most recent publication is Hopes and Fears, Working with Today's Independent School Parents.
