During his tenure in Advancement, the school has enjoyed unprecedented growth. John constantly reminds us it is our donors who have transformed the Brentwood campus: the Maeda Health Centre, the Bunch Centre, Crooks Hall, the Centre for Art and Humanities & the Foote Athletic Centre, as well as Allard and Hope Houses. Of equal importance are those who have contributed to realizing the goal of a $20M endowment by 2020. While the vast bulk of funds are directed to keeping Brentwood accessible to worthy students, Boat Funds for rowers, a Technical Theatre Endowment for our performing artists, a Learning Centre Endowment to offset staffing costs and, most recently, a Faculty Professional Development Fund have all materialized under John's leadership. In whatever role he found himself, John has been an unfailingly committed, energetic, positive, selfless and principled servant of our school community. John is a true Brentonian.
