Katharine Miller ’90

Dwight-Englewood has the best teachers and staff, I should know; both my father, Robert Carson, and my Aunt Betsey Carson devoted many years to their students at . My father and Aunt Betsey did not treat teaching as a job, they truly cared about their students that was obvious to me because they were often the topic of conversation at our dinner table. When I became a student at Dwight-Englewood, it soon became apparent to me that this was the norm amongst the teachers and staff. One teacher in particular, Mrs. Harriet Falk, went above and beyond and made a huge impact in my life. It became apparent to Mrs. Falk that I was not confident in my reading and writing ability because of my learning disability. Mrs. Falk was able to help me see beyond my learning disability. She helped me to restore my confidence as a student and reignite by love of reading and writing. I was truly lucky to have Harriet Falk as a teacher and I still think of her often.
