Janiah Tillery, 2017 TCS Graduate, has just been awarded the competitive and prestigious Gilman Scholarship to support her study of Mandarin abroad in Taiwan during the spring semester. Janiah has been attending Roanoke College on a full scholarship since graduating The Community School. She is a history major with a concentration in East Asian studies. It is Janiah’s hope to teach language in mainland China for two years after earning her bachelor’s degree with plans to earn her Master’s degree following this experience.
Since her graduation, Janiah has remained a regular at The Community School always spending part of each break here helping the students and school when she is in town. She won’t be leaving until February for Taiwan so you can catch her around TCS until then. Janiah is an inspiration to the students and we are so proud her achievements.

Congratulations to senior Olivia Yates on her acceptance into Notre Dame University of Maryland for the fall 2020 term! This was Olivia’s first pick for college and she is very excited to have this opportunity. Olivia was also awarded an academic scholarship for each of the 4 years that she will be attending the college.
Last night, Olivia toured the campus and was excited to share it with her mother, Rachel. Leading the tour was Mary Louise Preis, an Associate Trustee of the University and long time sponsor and supporter of the students of The Community School.
We are so proud of Olivia as she completes her high school education at The Community School and prepares for the next step in her journey to college and career!
We were honored to have Dr. Chris Domes, the President of Neumann University in Aston, Pennsylvania, come in for a conversation with the students. Dr. Domes and his wife Mary Domes made a special trip to Baltimore just to see the school and talk with the class. He not only spoke about Neumann University but also about the college experience and the opportunities presented both in college and after. Dr. Domes shared his own humble beginning and career path that included being President of Silver Lakes College in Wisconsin and leadership positions at Marymount University in Virginia and St. Bonaventure University in New York. He had a real impact on the student’s future considerations of attending college and answered their many questions. Dr. Domes promised to arrange a tour of the university in the spring and all of the students are eager to see his school firsthand.
Head of School, Tom Culotta, is an alumnus of Neumann University and was especially proud to have Dr. Domes and Mary Domes visit the school. Click here to learn more about Neumann University
