Mary Heller Osgood has been teaching at TGS since 1995.
Seventh graders look forward to increased responsibility and independence as they enter the Upper School. They serve as role models for the younger students and contribute positively to the everyday operation of the school. Students focus on working together for themselves as individuals and for the intellectual and social growth of the class. Emphasis is placed on promoting a positive, supportive atmosphere in all situations, whether academic, social, or physical.
