College Chronicles by Heather Cavalli | Comment
As the November deadlines loom large seniors are feeling the pressure of the details. The last edits, the supplemental essays, making sure you’ve asked your teacher for recommendations, checking in with them that they’ve written the rec. Those whose ducks are in a row are moving at lightning speed toward Early Action deadlines, but even those who are not rushing forward are realizing that success will come with attention to detail.
Heather Cavalli, a native of New York City, is no stranger to boarding schools. She graduated from Watertown, Connecticut’s Taft School in 1986. After two years at Kenyon College, she finished her bachelor degree at Barnard College, Columbia University, in 1990. After three years in Italy, she did graduate work at Brandeis University and was awarded a master's degree in Comparative History. Before coming to Hyde in 2001, Heather taught at a private girls school in Miami, Florida. Presently Director of the College Office, Heather has also taught history and was Woodstock’s Director of Studies.
Heather met her husband Massimo in Italy. They have two children, Francesca, 12, and Luca, 10. Heather loves her job. “This is the most fun academic professional experience I have ever had, and I had a lot of fun teaching history. What’s really great about this job is that I profit from everyone’s hard work, and get to see students connect with their unique potential and all the possibilities about their future.”
