Like all Middlesex students, Jessica Tuck `81 saw her plaque as an opportunity to leave a physical marker on the school, one that hopefully accurately represented not only her personality but also her experience at Middlesex. Jessica’s final design depicts a jester clicking his heels and certainly contains a huge amount of meaning for her. In addition to being a…
On the stairway to the Latin wing, a detailed plaque depicting a Mayan coronation ceremony catches one’s eye. The image, carved by Bret Stephens `91, shows a new king in the process of being crowned by his father, the old king.
