Quote from teacher: “Austin Smith is a wonderful student, respected by his teachers and peers alike, who constantly pursues opportunities to further his education,” said Brooke Schlageter Graham, Global Leadership Program director, ESL/English teacher. “He has pursued opportunities for international travel abroad and has had learning experiences in Mexico, France, Sweden, and Cambodia. Austin also pursues leadership opportunities whenever possible. When our dorm, the Dayal House, opened in the fall, Austin created a position as a liaison between domestic and international students, lived in the dorm, and helped our international students integrate with the Maumee Valley community. He consistently gets excellent grades and is involved in many aspects of the Upper School. I am proud to work with this remarkable student.”
