It's a new year, and we're continuing our "Meet Us Mondays" feature with more of our outstanding faculty! Each week, we're introducing you to one of the members of our team, and we hope you enjoy the chance to better know the men and women who serve our students and families each day.
This week, our series continues with another wonderful member of our Upper School Team, Mr. Aaron Schultz. In addition to teaching math, science and P.E. to our 6th-8th grades, Mr. Schultz also serves as our Athletic Coordinator, managing and coaching our growing athletics program at ILS.
