Please note: We acknowledge that history is complex, and there may be instances in which we do not have the full story and/or simply are unable to tell the entire story; some are more worthy of a novel than a simple magazine article! We also know that we can’t possibly cover every individual related to a single industry in one issue. As such, we always welcome and encourage alumni and friends to reach out and share their historical knowledge of Tabor, stories of their lives, and suggestions for magazine themes with us. We’re excited to hear from you!
About our creative process
At Tabor Academy, we embrace innovation as part of our tradition of excellence. Select content in this publication was developed with the support of generative AI as a collaborative tool—for brainstorming, drafting, and editing. All ideas, direction, and final storytelling decisions are human-created and human-led. AI assists our team, but it does not replace the creativity, critical thinking, or integrity of our work.
