One of those new faces is Head of School Tom Main, who joined RA from The King School in Stamford, CT, Tom brings a wealth of experience and leadership as both an educator and administrator. Signifying the beginning of one's journey at RA, Tom joined all new students and five new faculty and staff members in a longtime special RA tradition of ringing the school bell on the first day.
