Long before his official start date, our new Head of School Mr. Tommy Blain, began getting to know the people who make AJC so special—meeting with staff, families, and students and listening carefully to what they believe is sacred about our school and community of affection.
By his first day on July 6th, Tommy was already deeply invested in AJC and ready to step into his leadership role. He helped us welcome 60 new students and 11 new staff members for our four-week summer session and quickly embraced the opportunities and challenges that come with such a remarkable period of growth.
We are grateful for the care and energy Tommy has already brought to our community. The heart of AJC remains strong, and we are excited for the year ahead!
