90 Seconds With Mr. Jarcho
How did you find Deerfield? I was introduced to Deerfield about 15 years ago when I was a teacher at Vermont Academy. And I got to know Deerfield because I coached soccer against it. In fact, my first ever game that I coached was against Deerfield, but more important than that, a very good friend of mine from childhood is Mr. McVaugh. I knew that he was an hour down the down the road, and so we had been in touch, and almost immediately, when I started Vermont Academy, Tim [M

Dining Hall Brings the Boar to the Chopping Block
In a menu that is equal parts delicious and devious, the Deerfield dining hall is roasting Choate’s very own mascot: the boar.

On Friday November 7, the Dining Hall will serve pork egg roll bowls for lunch and baked ziti with sausage, mu shu pork, and jerk po

With the minimal exchange of formalities, they grab a cookie and return to their rooms,

90 Seconds with Ms. Fidanza
RYAN BAI/DEERFIELD SCROLL What is your favorite part about being a dorm faculty in JL, and what is one favorite memory you have with your residents? I really like the girls on my hall. They're so nice. A couple of years ago, my proctors were having a lot of fun. One of the proctors had a pink wig and they decided to try to put it on my dog…and she wouldn't sit still. It was just hilarious, and we were all cracking up. What's your favorite dorm feed? I make a lot of brownies,
