We bid a fond farewell to Ms. Sarah Ross as she embarks on her retirement after 9 years of dedicated service to Gilman.

A counselor, advisor, and educator for decades, Ms. Ross brought a wealth of experience to Gilman, and we are fortunate that she chose to spend the final chapter of her remarkable career here.

As Director of College Counseling, Ms. Ross guided hundreds of students and their families through every stage of the college search and application process, helping each boy find the college that was the right fit for him.

"I became a college counselor because of Ms. Ross. She has changed my life forever, and for the better, and I can only hope to live up to a fraction of who she is," said Angela Wang, a former student of Ms. Ross.

Please join us in thanking Ms. Ross for her dedication, leadership, and lasting impact on the Gilman community. Wishing her all the best in retirement! 🎉

After 38 years of dedicated service, Tim Holley ’77 is retiring from Gilman.

A teacher, coach, mentor, former Director of Athletics, and proud alumnus, Mr. Holley has spent decades shaping the Gilman experience for generations of students.

“Timmy is the example of what is great about the institution we all call Gilman; an example that each young student should exemplify,” said Johnnie Foreman, retired Director of Community, Inclusion, and Equity.

Please join us in thanking Mr. Holley for his service to Gilman and wishing him well as he embarks on a new and exciting chapter of life! 🎉
