Patrick Rhea Commits to Dartmouth |
|
|
|
 Congratulations to junior Patrick Rhea for committing to play lacrosse at Dartmouth University. He is among a select group of lacrosse players in the country who commit to schools in the middle of their junior year. Despite only playing the sport for three years, Patrick has displayed amazing speed and athleticism in this fast-paced game. When asked about his reasoning behind his decision to play and attend Dartmouth, Patrick noted, “I fell in love with the school the moment I stepped on campus and there was not one thing I did not like about it. After spending time with the players I was positive that Dartmouth was the place I wanted to go.” Patrick also noted his enthusiasm for the coaching staff of Dartmouth’s lacrosse program. Look for Patrick and the rest of the Titans lacrosse team to take the field at Champion’s Trace this spring!

As Louisville Collegiate School approaches the celebration of its Centennial, the Board of Trustees recently formed a special task force to look ahead to the school’s next 100 years of providing a premium educational experience for the Greater Louisville community. The 2C2 (Second Century at Collegiate) Task Force is comprised of parents, past parents, students, faculty, staff, alumni and trustees. The group seeks to coordinate the interrelationships between Collegiate’s programs, people, facilities, technology and financial sustainability. Working together, this taskforce intends to develop a comprehensive direction that will lead the school into the next century by identifying innovative programs and prioritizing resources. Opportunities will be available in the coming months for members of the Collegiate community to provide input to this visioning process.
During the kickoff meeting of the 2C2 Task Force, Kris Kimel, the founder of IdeaFestival spoke about innovation and thought diversity and inspired his audience to think big.
