Teacher Trendwatch

SEÑOR PEREZ: 

My man Señor Perez always pulls up to the 4th floor of Phillips with a sweater and a button-down. I am always down to learn about the subjunctive tense when he’s wearing his absolutely stunning khakis and maroon sweater! Way to put the other teachers to shame, whenever I see Señor Perez, he is a glimmering star amongst the darkness. He has kept it consistent all these years, and I hope he plans to keep it like that. Thank you for blessing me each and every day. 

MR. WHITTEMORE: 

Learning from a teacher at Exeter is amazing, but learning from Mr. Whittemore is even more amazing. From his blinding neon orange beanie to his spectacular Carhartt pants, Mr. Whittemore knows how to put an outfit together. When I wake up in the morning all I think about is beating Mr. Whittemore’s style, but somehow he trounces me every time. Whenever I see Mr. Whittemore’s neon orange beanie, it’s like I’m spotting a lighthouse in the distance, occasionally shining its light on me ever so often. Thank you iconic Mr. Whittemore for keeping the bar higher than the Academy Building clock tower. 

MRS. BRAILE: 

Speaking of icons, Mrs. Braile has been at her button-up and jeans combo for 30 years and counting. She puts my Duolingo Streak in the trash too. All hail to the glorious Braile, as she never fails to light up my life with her elegant and snazzy button-ups. Why would I focus on my MAT21T quiz at 8 am in the morning when I can focus on her phenomenal style? If I had to pick between New Dining Hall or Mrs. Braile, I would ditch the new servery for Mrs. Braile, 1000 percent. Mrs. Braile is a stylish genius, and no one can tell me otherwise.
