By cultivating the gifts and charisms of each student and fostering a culture of excellence and faith, Thomas More will stand out as a beacon of hope and quality in Anchorage's educational landscape."On today's "I'm Glad You Said That", I'm privileged to chat with Sarah Spaulding, the recently hired Headmaster of Thomas More Classical Academy.  Mrs. Spaulding has a remarkable track record in education and we're blessed as a community and state to have her join us as an Alaskan resident.Support the show
