Duncan Moore
Vice President, Board of Trustees
Here’s how Duncan Moore, the vice president of the PSCS Board of Trustees, responded when asked to describe his involvement at PSCS:
“When I meet folks while at a PSCS event I’m often asked, ‘So, what’s your connection to PSCS? Which child is yours?’ To which I respond, ‘None of them. I don’t have children.’ So what is my connection to PSCS? Why do I serve on the board, facilitate classes, and generally hang out as much as I can? It’s because I’m secretly envious of all the kids that do get to attend PSCS. . . .
Graduation Requirements
Students work each year with an advisor to identify their short- and long-term goals.
In order to graduate from PSCS students must have been enrolled at PSCS for at least three full years and complete requirements specific to their final year. Students who wish to continue to a four-year college after graduation are supported and encouraged to participate in and document activities that will be useful on their college applications.
Senior year requirements include:
- Completion of a large-scale senior project that challenges their capabilities and furthers their personal passion.
- Development of a credo, or statement of personal belief, with staff guidance over the course of the school year, and presentation of that credo at their graduation ceremony.
- Participation in senior seminar, where students meet with staff about their senior project and credo.
