A Message From Our President

Greetings PCACAC and Happy August! 

In the world of education, this month begins a season of renewal. It has been exciting seeing the return to action on my own campus. With the Common Application opening, our college counseling team met with the seniors for a week of application workshops. Fall season sports teams hit the field for practices, and the theater program is hosting auditions for the upcoming play. Orientation for new students and back-to-school faculty meetings begin next week. Down the road, our local colleges welcomed new and returning students. The relaxed days of summer are over, but the excitement of a new school year is taking over.

The PCACAC Leadership Team is also embracing change this season. Mary Hunter Hardison was recently named Head of the Lower School at her alma mater, Nansemond-Suffolk Academy. While this exciting transition requires her to step down as PCACAC’s Finance Vice President, we are deeply grateful for her leadership. To fill the remainder of her term, the PCACAC Executive Board has approved Kelly Valette (currently Chair of the Advancement Committee) as our new Finance Vice President. Please join me in celebrating both Mary Hunter and Kelly as they take on these new roles!


As we move into fall, you are encouraged to keep up with the monthly Anchor Splash newsletter, follow the PCACAC social media pages, and check the website so you can take advantage of programs, webinars, and meetup opportunities. Connecting with other PCACAC members will help you stay informed, connected, and supported as you begin your work with a new class of students.  

Wishing everyone a tremendous start to the school year! 

Scott P. Mayer
PCACAC President
