Shortridge Academy
Bids Farewell to Mariotti

Please join the Shortridge Academy family in bidding a fond farewell to Hannah Mariotti as of this July 15th. Hannah has been a key figure at Shortridge since 2005, serving as Admissions & Marketing Director and more recently assuming the additional role of Girls Program Clinical Coordinator, helping facilitate the roll-out of our "Especially for Girls" initiative.

"I am truly saddened to have to say good-bye to my friends, colleagues and wonderful students here at Shortridge. In recent years Shortidge has been extremely flexible with my schedule and unfortunately my family is relocating out of the area making it difficult for me to continue to be as engaged as I want to," says Mariotti.

"We all will miss Hannah and her professionalism as well as clinical savvy. Given how good she is I am sure she will continue to serve students and families within our industry in some capacity in the near future. We all wish her the best," said Don Vardell.

Hannah's role of being point person for admissions will transition to Frank Anthony, with support from Christina Smalley. Referral relations and outreach activities will be picked up by Don Vardell. Kay Patch, Clinical & Health Services Director will directly oversee the girls programming. Shortridge will begin a search for a new admissions director in the coming weeks.

Shortridge Academy is one of only a few therapeutic boarding schools in the Northeast accredited by the rigorous New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and the only school of its kind that explicitly utilizes the evidenced-based Positive Youth Development (PYD) curriculum to guide the individualized therapeutic programming for students. Since 2002, Shortridge Academy has been helping students and families who are struggling with academic performance, loss of interest in activities and increased conflict in family or peer relationships.

Shortridge Academy is a year round, college preparatory, therapeutic boarding school for young men and women ages 14-17 years old at enrollment, grades 9-12.
