When Nicole Brummer recalls being a student at St. Paul’s School for Girls, she describes herself as “Miss SPSG.” She earned very good grades, played both lacrosse and field hockey, and excelled in the fine arts.

“I felt very confident at SPSG; it was like a home away from home, ” she says. “I knew that everyone was supporting me and nurturing me to be the best that I could be, and I felt safe to try a lot of different activities. People knew me and helped me to pursue my goals.”
Janet Hanseth ’96 (April 2013)

Senior UI Developer, ModCloth

“At SPSG, I was taught that I could do anything I wanted to do with my life,” says Janet Hanseth. “I could try new things, and if I failed, it was ok. I was encouraged to take risks, and to experiment with new ideas and new directions.”

At SPSG, Janet was tops in academics, a lofty position that propelled her to Harvard University. Four years later, graduate school seemed obvious, but not for Janet. She changed direction, teaching herself computer programming, a skill that led eventually to a job in Maine with L.L. Bean, writing code and developing Bean’s website.
