Diane Taylor
Diane Taylor began at Moravian Academy in 1984 and was a second-grade teacher in the lower school. For 34 years, Moravian Academy students have walked into Ms. Taylor’s classroom and walked out at the end of the year feeling taller. Ms. Taylor’s masterful ability to inspire, nurture, teach, laugh, and build community was second nature for her. Diane daily encouraged her students with the deft strokes of an artist’s brush, to realize their most brilliant and decent selves. She was a peacemaker and always volunteered her time after school to tutor. To this day, Diane reaches out to her former students when they graduate from the Merle-Smith Campus with notes of congratulations and encouragement for their bright futures. Ms. Taylor continues to be a shining light in students' lives.
Lois Kehoe dedicated 39 amazing years to Moravian Academy. Former colleagues and students will say that “she was the gentle hand, guiding exploration and investigation; patiently and joyfully encouraging every child to be happy and comfortable with who they are.” Members of the Moravian Academy community have said that her career has been one of Moravian’s great treasures and that all are better because of her talented mind and patient spirit. Mrs. Kehoe’s innate ability to teach children about the world around them was a lot about allowing child-curiosity to steer the direction of the learning. “You gently guide exploration and investigation while patiently, joyfully and steadily encourage every child to be happy and comfortable with who they are - this was observed every day of your brilliant career.”
