Jeff Cady serves as the eighth and ninth-grade class dean, an eighth-grade English teacher and advisor, a dorm parent, and a lacrosse and basketball coach. Mr. Cady's love for teaching was shaped as a camper and counselor at Camp Dudley in NY and a four-year boarding student at Westminster School in CT. After college, Mr. Cady taught and coached at the Dunn School in CA, Kinkaid School in TX, and Gonzaga in DC. He then ventured outside of education as a management consultant, startup director, and U.S. diplomat. Now back in the classroom, Mr. Cady is committed to helping students discover and communicate from their authentic voices. Outside of teaching, he can be found spending time with his wife and two daughters, hopefully outdoors and in the wilderness.
