"She is very determined and has always been a very open and kind person." - Flavia Daniels '23

"Sam started taking French when she came as a ninth grader. She said from the beginning that she didn't like French, and then she became one of the best students in French. She is a delight to teach, and I will miss her very much." - French Teacher Chris Brandon

"Sam Bower is a graduating senior that I hope both my daughter grow up to end up like her. Pretty sure she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. However, she balances it really well with this tenacity. That's really quite impressive, but she does it with a sense of grace as well. Academically she's an absolute powerhouse, and with that, she does it humbly as well." - Director of the Upper School Stephen Belderes
