Lauren Hunter is the 2007 recipient of the Career Growth Award, presented in recognition of the faculty member who, over the course of the year, has demonstrated the most accelerated professional growth within the Brewster Academy program.

Ms. Hunter joined the faculty at Brewster in September 1998 as an instructional support teacher. While she works with a variety of students in many core subjects, her focus is on English and history. "These are two areas where there is an emphasis on essay writing as well as reading. It is my responsibility to see that the students I have in my class receive as much support and instruction in any area that they need."

Ms. Hunter has been an assistant coach for the girls' junior varsity soccer team and has run the recreational ski program. She played field hockey throughout her high school years in Long Island. While at college, she enjoyed skiing most weekends.

She is the community life parent in Brown Hall where she lives with her husband Cory Hunter (an alumnus), their young son, and their Golden Retriever, Lucy.
