At Pingry, students are looking for an excuse to visit the science wing and talk to us . . . The attitude here is that it’s cool to be interested in school.”—Dr. Colleen Kirkhart, Honors II Biology teacher, Research Team
“It’s the tradition of the pursuit of greatness here that most inspires me—getting better at whatever it is you’re doing, striving, not settling. Students are given so much support, but everything is earned; nothing is given.” —Obi Nnaeto ’18
