Charitable Giving, The Lowell Whiteman School
In today’s world, having a place where young people can concentrate on academics, have grand adventures in beautiful and phenomenal places, build lasting relationships and find their own strengths, is beyond worth . . . help us continue the Lowell Whiteman tradition!
The Charley Williams Lodge
“There are many wonderful aspects of what we call the Whiteman Experience that make working for the school so rewarding. Imagine a young student, most likely leaving home for the first time at an extremely impressionable age. The world is coming alive with possibilities, dreams, hopes, doubts and fears. This student needs a place to grow in a healthy outdoors environment providing academic and recreational challenges. The kind of place that breeds curiosity and sees life as an exciting adventure with learning as a reward in itself instead of a means to an end. With honesty, integrity, and a genuine concern for others as the basis which makes a person feel whole and good inside. The Lowell Whiteman School is, in my dreams, just such a place.
If indeed, I helped make that dream a reality, it is because of all the others who were there on the board and in the school who helped. Those who saw change as good and necessary, rather than as a threat.
Without teachers who love their subjects and can instill that love and enthusiasm to their students, we are lost. Without an administration that can keep the school fiscally sound and smoothly functioning, we are lost. Without a board to set and maintain policy and direction, we are lost. But above all of this, we must never lose sight of why we are here. It is the student body. That is the sole and entire reason for this school’s existence. To help each student to grow and become the best he or she can be.. To love the Whiteman Experience and to leave remembering it as a home of love, respect, good times, good friends, with a healthy desire to go on to college and life knowing that the joy of learning goes on until we die.”
