5 /5 Harrison C. Davies: MCDS has this unique ability to attract amazing people both as students, faculty and staff. As a student I have made lifelong friends, but it is also the what I call MCDS legends who truly shape so many minds. Just think about how many minds Carolyn Dorn has inspired through her traditional, yet still uniquely innovative English teaching methods, how many American raised individuals who never spoke a word of Spanish became conversational and above thanks to Glen Turf, how something as seemingly boring as Marine Biology became an ocean depth wonder both in and out of Peter Konen’s classroom (yes we actually went reef diving), and let’s not forget the amount of college acceptances Marnie Allen has guided. What began with the leadership of Dr. John Davies in 1986 has shaped this institution into one of the leading independent schools in the US of A. As an alumni I still feel as if I am a part of this community through networking events, Homecoming reunions, or just simply visiting. Proud Alum! MCDS forever and ever!
