Dorm Monitor Application or the 2020-2021 School Year

Each spring, members of the sophomore and junior class are invited to apply to become monitors for the following academic year.  

Process:

  •  The Student Council nominates those students who, in the opinion of the Council, would be effective monitors
  •   The Dormitory Heads and Assistant Dorm Heads select those students they believe would be effective monitors.
  • The Administration, led by the Associate Headmaster and the Deans of Students, make the final selections. 

Students who wish to be monitors for the 2020-21 School year should complete and share this form with Mr. Brian Doyle before April 25, 2020.

As you consider submitting an application to become a Dormitory Monitor, please know we have identified a few factors / characteristics which, we believe, impact a student’s ability to be effective.

  • Monitors need to be on campus. Monitors are expected to be on campus for at least 75% of the weekends while school is in session.
  • Monitors must lead by example.  
  • Monitors need to be confident / strong willed / empathetic.  
  • Are you capable of stepping up (for example to stop an activity) when no one else is? 
  • Are you able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes to understand and support them when they may be struggling?
