The present-day Morristown–Beard School was formed from the 1971 merger of two single-sex schools: the Beard School for Girls and the Morristown School for Boys. The Commission on Secondary Schools at the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools has accredited the school since 1973.[3]

Peter J. Caldwell has served as Morristown–Beard School's headmaster since 2011.[6]

History

Morristown School

The Episcopal Church founded Morristown School as St. Bartholomew's School in 1891. Rev. Frank E. Edwards, a graduate of Harvard University (1891), served as the school's first headmaster, and classes took place in Morristown's Normandy Park area. St. Bartholomew's school was noted for hosting a speech by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes novels, in 1894.[8]

Three years later, St. Bartholomew's School moved its classes to Whippany Road after building a new campus near the Morristown railroad station. Designed by architects Edward Lippincott Tilton and William A. Boring[9] (co-designers of Ellis Island's Immigrant Station), the buildings for this campus required only 90 days to construct.[10] The blended Colonial Revival and Classical Revival architecture styles reflect the colonial history of the Morristown area.[11] Ford Mansion in Morristown (now part of Morristown National Historical Park) served as one of George Washington's headquarters during the American Revolutionary War.

When St. Bartholomew's School faced financial challenges in late 1897, three of its teachers from Harvard University Class of 1888 reorganized St. Bartholomew's School as the Morristown School. These three co-founders of Morristown School were Francis Call Woodman, Arthur Pierce Butler, and Thomas Quincy Browne. Aiding their work to start the new school, a large donation from wealthy businessman Henry Lee Higginson[12] (known for founding the Boston Symphony Orchestra) provided critical seed funding. The school also benefited from large financial gifts of three other notable philanthropists: businessmen Charles Francis Adams III, Larz Anderson III, and Joseph Lee.[13] Adams (a great-grandson of President John Quincy Adams) and Anderson (a son of General Nicholas Longworth Anderson) graduated from Harvard in the same class year as Morristown School's co-founders. (Lee graduated from Harvard five years earlier.)

Morristown School prepared its students for Harvard University, other Ivy League schools, and engineering schools.[14] The school opened in September 1898 with 23 students and eight staff members.[11] Just two years later, enrollment more than tripled to educate 75 students;[15] the student body increased to 173 by 1923.[16] In 1908, Morristown School achieved recognition as one of only two schools outside New England to send students to Harvard for ten consecutive years (1899–1908).[17] Strengthening the connection with Harvard, Morristown School leaders hosted the Harvard Club of New Jersey. The club's April 1909 meeting brought visits from Harvard President Charles Eliot, New Jersey Governor John Fort, and New Jersey Chancellor Mahlon Pitney (later a U.S Supreme Court justice).[18] Eleven years later, the Morristown School ran a $500,000 fundraising campaign to establish an endowment. Several Harvard graduates served on the campaign's executive committee, including graduates of Harvard and the Morristown School (writer Roger Burlingame, journalist Samuel T. Williamson, and businessman Felix Knauth).[13]

During World War I, 65 of Morristown School's first 103 graduates (63%) served in the U.S. military.[19] Their service reflected the value of community service emphasized by Morristown School to its student body. During the war, students at the school raised funds to purchase and equip the Morristown School Ambulance. They then presented this ambulance to the American Field Service for use in France. The American Field Service awarded Morristown School a certificate and a brass plaque to show its appreciation for the ambulance.[20] In 1913, a group of 40 of Morristown School's students helped the Morristown Fire Department extinguish a forest fire that had spread over three miles on Horse Hill; the students used portable chemical extinguishers to fight the flames.[21] Nine years later, the full student body (173 students) helped fight a large fire that had destroyed two nearby houses.[16] In 1957, the basketball team donated a trophy to Delbarton School (the school rival) to honor Paul Kreutz, a Delbarton player who drowned in 1956.[20]

Beard School

In 1891, sisters Lucie Beard, Eliza Mills Beard, and Ettie Beard Foster started a school for kindergarten students on Claredon Place in Orange, New Jersey.[22] The three sisters were cousins of historian James Truslow Adams, a Pulitzer Prize winning writer.[23] Eliza Beard oversaw the school's financial management, and Lucie Beard ran the educational activities.[24] Their mother, Hester Truslow Beard, also assisted with the establishment of the school.[25] The Beard school had an initial enrollment of 13 students.[22] The all-girls school moved to Berkley Avenue in 1900[24] and continued adding grades until it graduated its first class in 1903. Taking the role of a preparatory country day school, Beard School prepared its students for the Seven Sisters and other colleges and universities.

Earning notoriety for this purpose, the Beard School received financial support from capitalist Sidney Morse Colgate of Colgate-Palmolive.[26] In 1928, the school hosted a speech by Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, a social justice activist, at its commencement ceremony.[27] Fosdick's visit reflected Beard School's commitment to service for its student body. During World War I, the students made bandages and wound dressings and began a tradition of sewing and knitting items to donate to the American Red Cross. This tradition extended into and past the Great Depression of the 1930s. During World War II, Beard School's students worked for the Junior Red Cross and assisted the American war effort by contributing their time and money.[28]

On November 30, 1953, a large fire swept through Beard School's campus in the middle of the night. Reaching a peak of fifty feet in the air, the fire engulfed two of the school's five buildings and left them unusable. The fire destroyed an auditorium, 16 classrooms, and Beard School's gymnasium. After calling the fire department, Headmistress Edith Sutherland awakened the 20 boarding students and led them to safety on the school's front lawn.[29]

Salvaging wood from the school's ruined buildings, a machinist repairman who lived nearby built a two-story garage for his family's home. His daughter later penned an essay about her childhood that described her memories surrounding the fire. Submitting the essay to Unico National, an Italian-American service organization, she earned second place in their Ella T. Grasso literary contest.[30] Rebuilding, Beard School launched the Beard Fund campaign in Fall 1954 to fund construction of a new building to replace the two buildings devastate by the fire. The campaign hosted a Hawaiian-themed benefit dance on October 22, 1954 to raise some of the funds.[31] In the spring of that school year, the Beard School opened the new fireproof building for use by classes.[32] Eleven years later, the Beard School had discussions with Short Hills Country Day School about a potential merger of the two schools.[33] The two schools did not merge, however. Short Hills Country Day School later merged with the Pingry School in Bernards, New Jersey.

Morristown–Beard School

The all-boys Morristown School merged with the all-girls Beard School in 1971. The new co-ed school elected to use Morristown School's campus in Morristown and close the Beard School's campus in Orange. (The former campus of the Beard School now houses the White House Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center.)[32] On Prize Day, June 5, 1971, the Morristown School officially transitioned into Morristown–Beard School, a name chosen to reflect the importance of the history of its predecessor schools.[34]

Recognizing their collective legacy, Morristown–Beard School adopted the Beard School's Latin motto of ("Ad Astra per Aspera") and the Morristown School's school shield.[34] (The Morristown School had two Latin mottos: "Civitas" and "Orbis Aratro Pendet". The former means citizenship, and the latter means: "The world hangs in the work of the plow.") Morristown–Beard School also renamed its Main Building as Beard Hall. The first class of the school graduated in June 1972.[34] Twenty-two years later, the school expanded its Middle School's student body from two grades (7-8) to three (6-8).

In recent years, many notable figures have visited Morristown–Beard School to speak to students, faculty, and staff. Colonel Jack H. Jacobs, a Medal of Honor recipient, spoken on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend in 2015. Jacobs received the medal for bravery during the Vietnam War.[35] Other notable speakers have included: businesswoman Bobbi Brown,[36] authors Rachel Simmons[37] and Bryan Burrough,[38] and Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen.[39]

Facilities

Supported by a $16.2 million capital campaign, Morristown–Beard School constructed the Middle School building and Founders Hall, a performing arts facility. The Middle School building opened during fall 2008, and Founders Hall, which houses a 630-seat surround-sound theatre, opened during winter 2009.[40] In 2011, Morristown–Beard School transformed Wilkie Hall, which had previously contained the performing arts center, into a technology center with multiple computer labs.[34]

Renovated in 2004, Grant Hall now houses the Center for Academic Writing, the English Department, and the World Languages Department. That year, Morristown-Beard also opened the renovated Beard Hall with space for Anderson Library and offices for the History Department, College Counseling, Admissions, and the Headmaster. In 2007, the school renovated South Wing, which now houses the MBS Center for Teaching and Learning (formerly the Center for Learning) and visual arts classrooms.[41] Morristown–Beard School's students have access to a film production studio with a green screen, a studio for multi-track digital audio recording, and a post-production studio.[42]

School-wide iPad program

2010–2011 iPad pilot

In the fall of 2010, Morristown–Beard School became one of the first schools in the U.S. to integrate the iPad tablet made by Apple Inc. into its curriculum. For their pilot program, six teachers and 60 students used iPads inside and outside the classroom.[43] During the pilot program, executives from Apple, Inc. visited Morristown–Beard School to observe how their iPads enhanced instructional practices and stimulated students' learning.[44]

Campus iPad integration

Beginning with the 2011–2012 academic year, Morristown–Beard School now requires all students to purchase an iPad and use the tablet device to assist schoolwork.[45] The school's curriculum includes multiple electives that teach software development for iOS, the operating system that drives iPads, iPhones, and Apple TVs. Morristown–Beard School also runs a dedicated 1000 Mbit/s Wi-Fi network to enable students' and faculty iPads to access the Internet.[46]

In 2013, Morristown–Beard School equipped all classrooms on its campus and many of the school's public spaces with ceiling mounted LCD projectors and wireless media streaming through Apple TV.[47] That year, students Graham Dyer and Lena Rajan created the MBS Now app for iPads to help members of the school community quickly access information about school happenings. The MBS Now app provides information on class schedules, homework assignments, school calendars, lunch menus, extracurricular activities, athletic competitions, and school news. The app also provides school forms for various activities and information on senior projects.[48] Members of the Morristown–Beard School community contribute content to MBS Now by posting updates at the app's home portal. Publication of the source code for each update to MBS Now on GitHub enables students at other K-12 schools to develop similar iOS apps.[49]

Clubs and extracurricular activities

Community service

Upper School (grade 9-12) students must complete at least eight hours of community service during each semester and write reflections on their experiences.[50] Fulfilling their service requirement, many Morristown-Beard students organize campus blood drives or assist local programs like Adopt-A-Trail. Other students volunteer for area nonprofit organizations, such as The Seeing Eye, Neighborhood House, Habitat for Humanity, and the Matheny Medical and Educational Center.

Campus clubs

The Crimson Sun, the student newspaper, has won three gold medalist awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.[51] Salmagundi, the school's yearbook, has published annually since 1904. The debate team has competed against area schools since a 1923 competition among Morristown School, Pingry School and Montclair Academy.[52] The Quiz Bowl team has become increasingly prominent in recent years, hosting the first ever Morristown-Beard Fall Invitational tournament in 2019. Other clubs and extracurricular activities at MBS include: Art Club, Business Finance and Investment Club, Contemporary Music Workshop, Drama Club, Film Club, Foster Care Club, GLOW Club (Girls Leadership, Outreach and Worth), Mariah (art & literary magazine), Mu Alpha Theta, Model United Nations, Service Committee, Young Republicans Club, Progressive Caucus, and the Student Government Association.

Athletics

The Morristown–Beard School Crimson[2] competes in the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference, which is comprised of public and private high schools in Morris, Sussex and Warren counties, and operates under the supervision of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA).[56][57] Prior to the NJSIAA's 2010 realignment, the school had participated in the Colonial Hills Conference which included public and parochial high schools in Essex, Morris and Somerset counties in west Central Jersey.[58] With 335 students in grades 10-12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Non-Public B for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 37 to 366 students in that grade range (equivalent to Group I for public schools).[59] The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Non-Public Group II for football for 2018–2020.[60]

Cheered on by the bear (the school mascot), Morristown–Beard School's teams compete as the Crimson,[2] a reflection of historical ties with Harvard. The school's 20 varsity teams have captured championships in several sports. Five of Morristown–Beard School's teams (football, girls' ice hockey, boys' cross country, girls' tennis, girls' volleyball) have attained undefeated seasons in their athletic histories.

Siragusa, father of Morristown–Beard School student Samantha Siragusa '15, worked as a sideline reporter for NFL games on Fox Sports from 2003 to 2016.[63]

Ice hockey

Boys' Ice Hockey Team

As one of the oldest hockey programs in the U.S., the boys' ice hockey team traces its history to the late 19th century.
