It is with a great sense of pride that I lead Taft’s dedicated faculty and uniquely talented student body into the 21st century. We continue to be guided by the principles on which our school was founded over a century ago. At the core of Mr. Taft’s mission to educate the whole person lies an emphasis on high scholarship and intellectual endeavor along with a belief that character, above all else, determines success in life. This was our mission in 1890, and it continues to shape all we do here today.
Taft is a vibrant, diverse and exciting school, one of enormous academic challenge and extracurricular opportunities. The campus is a beautiful one, a mix of historic and modern buildings, and one that enhances our close community. Teachers and students live together, and teaching and learning take place at all hours of the day, in and out of the classroom. Our hope is that our students will graduate not only prepared to excel at the finest universities and colleges but also equipped to be responsible global citizens.
As you browse our website, I hope you will come to know Taft better, and I encourage you to visit campus to see the school.
