“MacDowell doesn’t feel like a job—it feels like a calling.”
💙 Meet Mr. Coleman, our Dean of Culture, whose passion for our scholars shines through every day. For him, MacDowell Prep is more than a school—it’s a family. It’s an opportunity to build meaningful connections with scholars and their families, planting seeds that will grow into something extraordinary.
As Mr. Coleman shares, we may not always see those seeds blossom right away, but we know the impact will last for years to come.
Thank you, Mr. Coleman, for your dedication, heart, and commitment to our MacDowell family.
