What is something most people don’t know about you? Most people don’t know that I worked at Disney World when I was in college.

What do you love most about Ben Lippen? If I had to pick one thing I love most about BL, it would have to be the authentic love and care the teachers have for their students. I am genuinely inspired every day by each of the teachers I get the opportunity to interact with. Their love for these kids pours out in the way they speak to and about them, and in how they work tirelessly to meet their needs not only academically but emotionally and spiritually. I am confident that my own children are in the best hands in South Carolina!
