Wonder how they're doing now? Ten years at Hyde is quite a good bit of percolating. Somehow the math doesn't quite jibe... Four years at Palmer Trinity with "more than a decade" at Woodstock prior to that, and the article came out in 2005... Would bring you at least as far back as 1991. When did Woodstock open? Perhaps he was at Bath prior to Woodstock?

Carrollwood Day School has hired a principal to begin preparing its foray into high school.
Tom Stoup, 54, has been lead adviser at the Palmer Trinity School in Miami for the past four years. He worked at Hyde School, a well- known private boarding school in Connecticut, for more than a decade.
"I feel real fortunate to be able to come in a year in advance and do a lot of the behind the scenes work to get the program molded," Stoup said.
The high school opens in 2006, when Carrollwood Day moves to the old Idlewild Baptist Church campus on Bearss Avenue. It will begin with about 200 ninth- and 10th-graders.
Head of school Mary Kanter said Stoup stood out in the candidate pool because of his strong understanding of independent schools. He also has a background in character education, which Carrollwood Day emphasizes.
"He's on the same wavelength as us, philosophically," Kanter said.
Carrollwood Day will serve as a prototype high school for character education researchers Thomas Lickona and Matt Davidson. It will implement the Smart and Good High Schools program the researchers have determined help people to lead productive lives.
The school also recently earned its accreditation as a pre- International Baccalaureate school. Kanter says the high school eventually will try to win similar credentials for the academically challenging program.
Carrollwood Day School opened in 1981 and has been expanding since. It purchased the Idlewild Baptist Church site for $10.9- million, and now is in the middle of a capital campaign. It has raised about $1.2-million of its $3-million goal.

Stoup worked in Bath on 3 different occasions...totalling more than a decade. It was probably an oversite by the author of this article.

Educating for Character has been praised as "the definitive work in the field."

Will this be added to the parental "required reading" list anytime soon?
He mentions the title of the book so many times in this short bit, I think he must be taking lessons from Sue Scheff.

Hyde Symposium Notes #2
8/6/2007
We were also treated to an excellent presentation by Matt Davidson and Kathy Fisher of IEE, the Institute for Excellence and Ethics. Matt has worked for many years with Thomas Lickona, author of the seminal Educating for Character (1993), at The Center for the 4th & 5th Rs (Respect and Responsibility) at SUNY-Cortland. Matt and Tom have recently written a book called Smart & Good High Schools where they feature the best practices of the scores of schools they have visited in recent years. I'm proud to say that Hyde's work figures prominently in Smart & Good High Schools.
Matt and Kathy spoke of two kinds of character: performance character and moral character. Performance character speaks to those attributes like persistence, effort, stick-to-itiveness. Moral character refers to our honesty and our moral compass. The person of character has developed both hand-in-hand.
Smart & Good High Schools identifies "four keys."
