Lower and Middle School Leadership Announcement
Steven Bertozzi will be the new principal of Milton’s Lower and Middle Schools beginning July 1, 2026. The appointment reflects a rethinking of the leadership structure in the two schools, which will continue to operate as distinct divisions within Milton’s K–12 organization.
Living History
When Peggy Byers Wood ’49 stopped by Head of School Alixe Callen ’88’s office this month, she didn’t just bring stories, she brought history itself. In her hands was a remarkable photograph from Milton Academy Girls’ School’s 1949 Graduation, showing Peggy and her girls’ school classmates with former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, that year’s speaker.
Peggy, a Milton “lifer” and former Trustee, filled the room with memories of her time in the girls’ school—from singing hymns in the chapel to connections with beloved classmates, leaders who served in student government, athletics, and school publications. She also shared a touching story about her lifelong friend Lucy “Chips” Withington, whose family name still graces the Withington Room next to Forbes Dining Hall. Peggy’s family ties to Milton ran deep: her father, Randolph K. Byers, served as the school doctor.
