If you’re wondering whether your protocols for finding new students are working in your admissions office, it can be an overwhelming and demanding experience, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Work within independent schools is a family business for Dr. Parnell Hagerman and her daughters; they have not only gone through the experience themselves but have also pursued professional careers in admissions and college placement to give others the opportunity to succeed. Dr. Hagerman has helped hundreds of young students gain admission to the academic and extracurricular programs of their dreams. She and Lee Young have a combined 85 years of experience in admissions at Hotchkiss School in Connecticut, Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts, and Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, while also helping Derby Academy in Massachusetts and Vermont Academy (boarding and day schools) examine their overall school procedures.
