Leadership, Loyalty, & Legacy

Tabor’s most loyal and generous donors were honored and celebrated at the annual Leadership, Loyalty, & Legacy reception on December 6, 2023 at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Board Chair Regina Shakin and Head of School Tony Jaccaci welcomed guests to the beautiful and historic new venue and thanked members of Tabor’s donor societies for their generosity and commitment.

Former Board Chair Carmine Martignetti ’71, received the special honor of the 1876 Founder’s Society Award which recognizes his tremendous leadership, loyalty, and legacy support of Tabor. Sadie Styles ’24, spoke about the impact the Martignetti Student Union in the new Travis Roy Campus Center is having on student life; and Paul Murphy ’75 spoke about Carmine’s 15 years of service to Tabor as a trustee.

Tabor’s Beacon Society, which recognizes donors who have given $1 million or more in their lifetime, posthumously honored its newest members, John Parks ’48 and his wife, Betty, who together left a considerable portion of their estate to Tabor. The “John and Betty Parks Chair in Mathematics” will help to recognize and retain the strong faculty who are at the heart of our wonderful school. Members of John and Betty’s family were present to accept the award in their memory.
