As the dean of Lower School admission for the past 20 years, Mary Davey has helped Brookside to evolve without compromising her attention to individuals.
During every year of her tenure, Brookside's enrollment has been full. After the school's expansion in 1996, Davey brought in 220 new students—a 200 percent increase from previous years.
Facing the school's growth and other challenges, Davey has managed to maintain a rapport with families, remembering names and other details on each applicant's file.
Davey was recognized for her achievements by receiving the 2000 President's Award for Excellence.
