She was hired in 2003 as the School Librarian and Head of the Learning Resources Center. In her time at Woodstock, she ruled over the stacks, shushing seniors and pushing all students and staff towards academic excellence. She demanded silence in the library but spoke loudly in meetings and assemblies—truly a force to be reckoned with. She dealt in three areas as Librarian—administration, collection management, and instruction/outreach. Sue contributed to the school in many more ways: she was the staff and advisor and a chaperone for the Model United Nations programs between 2004 and 2006 and again between 2009 and 2011 (she coordinated the program from 2006 to 2009). Plus, she was the homeroom teacher of the class of 2010. Susan will be missed, not just for her work in the library but also for her love for Woodstock School. Ron Swanson (8yrs) Few people have contributed as much to Woodstock over the past eight years as Ronald Swanson has. He arrived in 2003 as an accompanying spouse, here with his wife Susan, who was hired as School Librarian. According to her, “We came because I had a job, and we stayed because he had one.” In fact, he had two primary roles: for three years, he was an Administrative Assistant in ICT, and for the past five years, he has been the Registrar. His ICT accomplishments include keeping departmental data and records and training himself in HTML so that he could be the webmaster for WS Wire. Many of the services available on the wire – such as the announcements system and study hall signups – are there because Ronald debugged and implemented them. In 2006, Ronald moved to the Registrar’s office and his work has included: Adding the transcript back page for student activities and external exam results; implementing the demerit system for Saturday Morning Detention; consolidating and organizing old student files, beginning the systematic computerized cataloging of old student files; assuming the duties of Cambridge Examination Officer; organizing and summarizing external examination results for PSAT, SAT, IGCSE, and AP exams; helping to implement and maintain the Naviance software system for managing American college applications; and assuming the role of scheduler for Senior School courses. Finally, he helped new administrators in countless ways, providing detailed advice, usually with a touch of humor and always with humility and kindness. His dedication to Woodstock is unsurpassed, and any teacher who has turned in late grades or comments at the end of a marking period knows that Ronald was always willing to work many hours into the night and on weekends to make sure the job was done.
