Leadership
Hyde School prepared me to handle the triumphs and challenges of life. Working with our amazing students and their parents each day inspires me to keep reaching for my best.
Leadership
My Hyde experience as a teenager taught me key life lessons that I still use today and now have the opportunity to pass on to our students. I love the spirit, enthusiasm and humor that our students and faculty bring each and every day. For over 25 years, my family has called Hyde home and now some of my greatest teachers have become our students.
Leadership
I love working at Hyde because of the community spirit in students, teachers, and families. When everyone is on the same page, magic happens!

I joined the Hyde community as a parent in 2018 and joined the faculty in 2021, where I serve as Director of Family Education. I have a passion to help others recognize their worth and love being part of a caring community that strives to support and challenge each other to continue evolving into the best version of ourselves.

I am in a unique position at Hyde where I interact with virtually every parent and student here, which is the absolute best part of my job. I am here to help and love to do what I can to make educational experiences at Hyde personal and unique, just like our students!

The reason I work at Hyde is for the opportunity to change lives. To be the teacher and coach that I needed growing up.

Parents
Parents
Over the past 4 years, we have seen a tremendous change in ourselves, and our son, and that has helped us collectively form a new and improved relationship as a family.
Parents
The bonds and friendships and core principles (Courage, Integrity, Leadership, Curiosity, and Concern) learned at Hyde last a lifetime. I feel so strongly about what I learned at Hyde School as a student I decided to send my son. The growth I have seen in him this past year is amazing.
Parents
It's been 11 years since my son (and I) graduated and we still reflect on its impact on our lives. My family embraced the words & principles in our friendships, our work lives, and most of all, in how we treat each other. We have strong adult relationships, built on truth, high standards, being each others keeper, and lots of laughs at our expense.
alumni
Alumni
During my formative years, I learned how to tolerate difficulty, how to accept responsibility, and how to serve. But most importantly, I learned that there is nothing greater or more worth seeking in life than the beauty and simplicity of a clear conscience.
Alumni
One of the biggest attributes that my Hyde experience instilled in me was grit. Perseverance, if guided by honesty, integrity and a positive attitude makes the obstacles in my life seem less daunting and my goals very attainable, thank you!!
Alumni
I will alway cherish my 3 years at Hyde as a period of profound growth. Amazing things happen when you're part of a community deeply committed to unique potential!

This year’s Hyde’s Performing Arts program began with a bang! Or a step-touch should we say?

In this week’s Discovery Group, students and faculty participated in a lesson about courage, one of Hyde’s five words, and how to take the first step toward doing something outside of your comfort zone. Oftentimes when we think of courage, it tends to be glorified to an extent that can seem unattainable as we live our day-to-day lives. In reality, courage is an everyday occurrence.
A tropical storm warning has been issued for parts of southern New England as Hurricane Lee makes its approach northward. The storm has been downgraded to a Category 1 storm and is not expected to increase in strength. Possible threats to the Bath area include power outages and downed trees. Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the decision to cancel school activities for Saturday morning.
Our Emergency Response Team will be monitoring conditions throughout the weekend and will provide additional updates should they be warranted.
My journey to songwriting starts with my parents and their passion for sports. My mom, Jen Kent, went to Colby College and played soccer, basketball and lacrosse. While my dad, Jeff Kent, attended Bowdoin College and played on the football and wrestling teams.
In the early 90s, they met at Hyde and got married. During their time here, they coached various sports teams, continuing to explore their passions in new ways. Fun fact, my mom started the girls lacrosse program. (I will be assisting the team this Spring, full circle moment!)
4 of my siblings spent their early childhood years of life on Bath’s campus before my parents moved to Massachusetts, where I and my sister Addison were born.
