Serving as Hyla’s Board President for the past nine years has been an incredible honor. Being part of the school’s evolution—from a 6–8 middle school to a full 6–12 program—has been some of the most meaningful work of my life. I believe deeply in the power of an independent school education and am committed to making that opportunity accessible to all who seek it. Karen Rice, Board President
