Description

Fay school was founded in 1866 by sisters Eliza Burnett Fay and Harriet Burnett in a former
parsonage
of the
Unitarian
church, across from
St. Mark's School
, where traditionally Fay students were educated to attend. The first year, the school had five day students and two boarders. At Eliza Fay's death in September, 1896, her son, Waldo B. Fay, became headmaster. Under him, the school sizably grew, adding a new dormitory, school room, and library. He was succeeded by Edward W. Fay, Waldo B. Fay's son in 1918. In 1922, the school was officially incorporated,
[4]
and the ownership of the school was transferred from the Fay family to the newly formed board of trustees.
Harrison L. Reinke became the first headmaster not in the Fay family since its foundation in 1942. He was succeeded by A. Brooks Harlow Jr., in 1969. The school became fully coeducational in 1977, having implemented a pilot program for girls in 1972. Girls had previously attended the school as day students through the late 19th century. Stephen V.A. Samborski became the sixth headmaster in 1988, who was followed by Stephen C. White in 1990. The Root Academic Center, the main academic building of the campus, was constructed in 2001. In 2008, Robert J. Gustavson Jr. became the eighth and current headmaster. In 2010, the primary school was opened.
Inside front cover is a thank you note to an individual that went to the school. There is also a typed letter from that individual answering the thank you note and the book. His photograph is on page 118 when he was young. The book was published in 1998. It measures 13 1/2" X 9 1/2" and contains 189 pages. There were only 1000 copies printed at the Stinehour Press.
