Before arriving at Gilman in 2005, Isaiah Buchanan served as the curriculum coordinator for an alternative school in Virginia and taught in the Baltimore City School System. He recently published his first children’s book.

“Coming to work feels like going to a home away from home, where like-minded people are committed to helping boys become men. Teachers never stop teaching; the day is full of teachable moments with the boys, in the classroom, on the sports field, in the city and even studying abroad.”

Mee Wong came to Gilman in 1994. It was her first job after college. In addition to her work in the business office, she is a Gilman parent.

“Gilman’s administration is constantly finding ways to provide better benefits and financial resources, encouraging employees to save for their future. I am very thankful for all Gilman has done for me. I just can't imagine my life anywhere else."

After his retirement from the U.S. Army, Rob Chard has worked as an electrician. He joined Gilman in 2011.

“The Gilman community is a tight knit group of respectful people. The work is challenging and the benefits package is one of the best I have ever come across.”

Prior to joining Gilman in 2014, John Richardson held development positions at The Johns Hopkins University and University of Richmond.

“I grew up in a household of educators. I know that how well I do in my job has an impact on the students. Everyone at Gilman, no matter what their job, knows that what they do is for the benefit of the boys.”

Beth Knapp came to Gilman in 2015 after 10 years as a teacher at Georgetown Preparatory School.

“I love that Gilman is an intellectual community, both within the classroom and outside of it. My colleagues are experts in their fields, and we are all encouraged to continue to learn. This is a community actively engaged in the process of learning and improving.”
