Strategic
Planning at GA
GA has engaged educational consultant
Agnes C. Underwood of Carney, Sandoe, & Associates
to facilitate the strategic planning process. Ms.
Underwood is a former head of the National Cathedral
School and a trustee of NAIS (National Association
of Independent Schools). On September 30 and October
1, Ms. Underwood will conduct a series of focus groups
to gather information from all of GA's constituencies.
Your input is extremely important to this
process.
 All
parents and alumnae are invited to attend one of the
following sessions. If the time for your division
or group does not work for you, please come to any
